Lawyer warns youths against desperation for quick wealth
An Ilorin-based legal practitioner, Azeez Abdullahi, has advised youths to embrace discipline and shun desperation for quick money.
Mr Abdullahi, who gave the advice in Ilorin on Saturday in an interview with journalists, said youths were going to the extreme to make money, not minding the consequences.
According to him, most youths prefer the short cut to make money rather than embrace hard work and discipline.
”The youths don’t mind the consequence of their desperation for money. They only want the money at all costs.
”It is dangerous to indulge in money rituals or illegal business just to make money.
”The end of such a desperate act always results to regret and death. Stop copying fake life from social media,” he advised.
The lawyer also advised the government to always capture youths in their empowerment programmes.
He said that capturing the youth in empowerment programmes would reduce crime rate and encourage them to be patriotic.
