The level of societal vices is on the increase and is being perpetuated by the youths who are supposed to be the leaders of tomorrow. If this trend is not curbed, REAL DANGER faces the future of this country. The problem of youths restiveness started as a little struggle some years ago affecting only a few; little did we know it was going to be a national issue let alone world news. On a daily basis youths are on the news various crimes.

As people awaits the dividends of democracy in Nigeria with Edo state on focus. In the past couple of months different manifestation not ordinarily expectef were seen. The seat of the governor witnessed a change in the month of November 2008, just about two weeks ago the only woman in the Edo state house of assembly in the person of Hon. Chief Mrs Elizabeth Ativie was removed by the court. Her removal came as shock to many people. If we are talking about a generation of women empowerment, why should the only woman in the house be sent packing?
