Nigeria's Gray Lizard of Youth Unemployment
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on April 7, 2019, 5:48 PMIn America, they talk of black swans: ” high-impact risks that are highly improbable and therefore almost impossible to predict”.
In Nigeria, we do not just have black swan. We have gray lizard. It is a high impact risk, that is highly probable and evidently visible but totally, widely and irresponsibly ignored. The massive youth unemployment in Nigeria is a gray lizard. Governments see it daily but it is totally ignored.
As Zamfara disappoints with bandits and tension rises in key areas in the nation, youth unemployment is triggering the gunpowder.
