Another major point here is that of mixing youth of a lower age group with those of a higher age group in prisons as it has been realized that the ideas of most youth before they get into prison become worse when they get out of prison. Mixing hardened criminals with youth of power age groups whose crimes were even milder than that of others in the same all helps instead to broaden their minds in evil ways. If some separation is done it will help a lot in the fight against the fall in morals.
Finally, forums could be created in schools and out of schools in different associations where youth can come together to interact and exchange ideas on various issues and on morals. This will actually help most youth together as a unified force to fully fight against moral decadence and each youth will be self-conscious about all the ills that plague our society as far as a decline in morals is concerned.
6. Diseases
Most of the youth today are very skeptical about their future due to the prevalence of diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, malaria, meningitis just to name but a few. They feel despaired about living up to 70 or 80 years or more. At times they say they are unfortunate to have been born at this epoch full of all sorts of diseases that are feared like HIV/AIDS, which could reduce the youth population of Sub-Saharan Africa by half in the year 2020 if nothing is done quickly.
But there is still hope for the youth if only they follow certain basic principles in life. Malaria and HIV/AIDS are the diseases, which take away most lives of youth. Poliomyelitis though, which is mostly targeting children, should not be left out because when these children grow they are handicapped and become stigmatized by others. They may not have the same opportunities in life than other youth who are fully healthy in terms of jobs, education, positions at different venues and stuff like that. They will always be relegated to the background.
Workshops and seminars could be organized to raise the awareness and educate both the youth and their parents on the aforementioned diseases. International organizations can also help by sponsoring research programs especially on HIV/AIDS, which still doesn’t have a cure as of now. This sponsorship could be both at the international and national levels. While waiting for a remedy to this disease subsidies could be made by sponsors on HIV/AIDS research programs on anti-retroviral drugs and condoms. This could be done through the respective governments of each country. Wide scale sensitization campaigns could be carried out by the world Health Organization (WHO) through the media by passing through celebrities and stars. Most governments of different countries could create local HIV/AIDS committees. For example, in Cameroon almost all the quarters in major cities and some rural areas have these committees, which carry out their own sensitization at the level of the quarter and continuously raise the awareness of the inhabitants of that quarter.
As far as poliomalytis is concerned a lot still needs to be done especially in Africa on sensitization and education. This is because most parents are not willing to cooperate with the ongoing program to kick polio out of Africa by the year 2010. They don’t present their children for vaccination for reasons that their children will be killed. Others say they don’t want their children vaccinated lest they become sterile and stuff like that.
Clubs on HIV/AIDS and other diseases could be created in schools to raise the awareness of the youth who are the highly endangered age group. More funds from international and national organizations should be diverted to research and sensitization of the entire population. Also, in these sensitization campaigns emphasis should also be laid on conservation and preservation of the natural environment since drugs come from plants in the environment. Medical technology if made on a global scale, where researchers in different countries could concert to work as a team to fight these diseases, great improvements will be realized and a lot of progress will be registered.
Finally, most top ranking officials in countries and in different organizations have been seen to be the deterrents of the fight against HIV/AIDS; while people suffer and die others become millionaires. It is for this reason that they will hinder all efforts towards the production of a vaccine or drug and even if there is, with their influence they will with convince the international community that it is fake and unreliable. To these people of whom some are in the WHO, intervention can only come from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the United Nations (UN). Governments at their own level should see into it so that this practice be stopped for the prosperity of the well-being of human lives which are being lost everyday especially in Africa.
7. Non-active engagement in state activities
Most nations or countries in the less developed world have witnessed serious crises due to the fact that only old people are holding strategic positions in the governments. Most times they will tell you politics is for the old and not for the young. Some make countries to look more or less like chiefdoms and refuse to let power or even delegate their powers to others apart from their sons and brothers. This situation is very peculiar with Presidents of most African nations. As a result of all this (struggle for power which eventually leads to dictatorship) most youth who feel relegated to the background resort to terrorism, strikes, coup d’états, wars, occultism, theft, drug addiction and other ills. This is simply because they think they do not have a say in the affairs of the state so the government which is made mostly of old people can not best know what’s best for them. Instead they only force ideas on them and their freedom of speech is being impaired. It should be noted in this context that when we talk of the government here we mean the ruling government that is the President and his ministers and even parliamentarians. What youth are asking for is a mix of both the young and the old to have a better vision of the nation rather than the old seeking only for things, which will benefit them mostly and give them lots of money.

People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in one form or another,i was first taking Antiviral medicines, such as acyclovir(Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex), are recommended for treating primary genital herpes outbreaks. This medicine can be taken when an outbreak occurs. It can also be taken every day to help prevent outbreaks,it is not a total cure... I will like to tell everyone who is reading this my testimony on how i get rid of my genital herpes.I was reading a comment on the internet,and i saw a testimony posted by a young lady from USA that she got rid of her herpes with the help of Doctor Elvis,a Traditional Herbalist from Nigeria.So i was so happy when i saw that post,that his herbal medication Cure the virus totally.I quickly copied the herbal doctor email address and i email him within 30 minutes he respond to my mail.I explain things to him he told me not to worry that i should fill his herbal form which i did..The next day he told me that he has prepare the herbal medicine,that i should send him my home address that he want to send his HERBAL MEDICINE to me via DHL or FedEx that was how i got the herbal medication and i use it as i was instructed.After a week i went to see a Medical Doctor who confirmed my herpes was no more.When Mira a friend of mine saw my HOSPITAL TEST RESULT she was surprise and i also introduce her to Dr ELvis and she also got cured from same Genital herpes Virus.
