Stop risking your lives for unreal greener pasture abroad, develop your country – Briton tells Nigerian youths

A member of Volunteer Service Overseas, Mr.
Michael Young, a citizen of United Kingdom has
charged Nigerian youths to stay in their country to
contribute to its development instead of risking
their lives searching for unreal greener pasture.
Young, who stated this along his counterpart, Miss
Samuel Joy Ben during a press conference in
Ilorin to mark the beginning of International
Youth Day celebration in collaboration with
National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN),
Kwara State chapter, said immigrants could make
it in their countries without embarking on
dangerous journey.

Narrating his experience with Nigerian
immigrants in UK, Young disclosed that his
contact with a Nigerian man with his family in his
country was not palatable.
“I met him in the toilet, he told me he
has a wife and children in Nigeria
whom he had to cater for. He told me
he has to work for 15 hours washing
toilets in different places.

“The question is, why can’t they stay in
Nigeria? You can’t make it in this
country because life in UK is too
expensive. Youths can be in Nigeria
and contribute to the development of
the country”.
The volunteer, who appealed to government to
ensure good policies on education, said it is
through compulsory education for children
between 6 to 18 years that helped UK to reduce
poverty and youth unrest.

Young caution Nigerian youths and immigrants to
be sure of where they are going if at all they want
to travel abroad, stressing that the risk facing
foreigners are too challenging.
His counterpart, Miss Ben advised Nigerian youths
to change their attitude towards acquisition of
money, stressing that there are many ways they
could contribute meaningful to the society.
In his reaction, the Chairman of NYCN, Comrade
Kazeem Adekanye noted that the main agenda of
many youths in Nigeria travelling abroad is to seek
greener pasture which lures them into series of
problems.
He appealed to Nigerian youths to stay in the
country and utilise their skills, talents for the
development of the nation, stressing that over 70
million Nigerian youths out of over 150 million
Nigerians are enough to build the nation.

.Unusual: A Baby Gaga waitress serves the breast milk cocktail in the Icecreamists shop, Covent Garden When a well-stocked ice cream parlour says they sell every flavour, there are usually limits. But one restaurant in London is selling breast milk ice cream which is being served to customers in a cocktail glass. Icecreamists, based in Covent Garden, have named the £14 dish Baby Gaga. Victoria Hiley, 35, from Leeds provided the first 30 fluid ounces of milk which was enough to make the first 50 servings. But the company are looking for more women to provide breast milk - and are providing £15 for every ten ounces extracted using breast pumps. The recipe blends breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest, which is then freshly churned into ice cream.
