In the community where I hail from, things have always remained the same. The more the younger people expect some changes from the elders, the more they remain the same.

Being the elders in the community, we expect sense of direction, lots of advice from them, instead, they are just relaxed waiting for the sun rise and the sunset.

This trend hasĀ  madeĀ  most youths have no one to consult in important matters, hence contributing to the rise of peer pressure within the community.

As a result of this, most youths have ended up making the wrong decisions in life, making them regret later in life for not having made better decisions. This has ended up contributing to a higher percentage cases of rampant vices going on in the country each and every day.

It is a high time leaders in the government who have reached a retirement age, gave chance to the youthful leaders to help address the challenges they go through more often, for the better future of the citizens and the country at large.
