When parents, guardians, or other relatives are unable or unwilling to discharge normal parental duties it results in unprecedented occurrence. An idle hand is the devil’s workshop, as the old adage says. It is, therefore, not surprising that there is an upsurge of violent crimes in the country. The youth find themselves trapped in poverty and even destitution, and can no longer do what people in their prime are supposed to do because of a lack of opportunity to even start.
That is why some of them have taken their destinies in their hands and lent their enormous energies to crimes and violent enterprises, such as robberies, kidnapping, cultism, pimping, prostitution, advance fee fraud, terrorism, militancy, and separatist agitations. All this begins from the inability of the parent to cater for the needs of their children or mostly when they are not been properly brought up thereby getting comfort and pleasure from society.
As parents, it is a form of unhealthy thinking to leave the survival of your children to the hands of the government. Charity they say begins at home. You have failed as a parent when you don’t communicate with your child often or mostly when you cannot identify the future pursuit of your child from a tender age. A good parent would identify and watch closely the things his/her child does to understand what area he has a passion for and help him develop and achieve success in it.
Peer Pressure often leads the way to destruction for most youth, most teenagers are been brainwashed with what is known as street orientation, clamoring quotes like “Get rich or die trying” “Now is the time to make it” “Ji masun” amongst others with makes them lieur into illegal means of survival all to get off the shackles of poverty and embrace luxury forgetting all that glitters is not gold.
Sports generally and most pertinently football is a vital tool that has captured the mind of many youths who have a genuine passion for it, keeping them busy and engaged doing what they love and strengthening their zeal for accomplishing their goals of greatness.
Buruj Sports Academy on our platform has taken a lot of youths off the streets getting them the desired platform to develop and excel in the ever-evolving world of football, exposing them to various opportunities home and abroad.
