You have heard it said, that the youth are the future leaders of this country. And that might even have given you some hope, don't let it.
Because verily verily I say unto you, the youth are very much the product of their environments, and most of them are indeed their parent's children.
The same tribalism that cripples the older generation runs through their veins. Just visit any politically tinged Facebook group.
The same entrapment to superstitious nonsense is very much in their core. They believe in witches and wizards, and they give too much prominence to what their pastors say. Just like their parents.
The same abhorrence for reading and improving one's self is part of their DNA. They reject scientific knowledge, the basis of human progress, in favour of their religious convictions. They are socially conservative, instead of progressive. They still believe edicts from 2, 000 years ago are better than applying our brains in this day and age of immense knowledge, as opposed to what was handed down from those days of immense ignorance.
Tardiness, Greed, nepotism, Fama Nyame syndrome; any affliction you can think of that has stunted our progress at the hands of our current leaders, our youth are awash in it.
Logic, rationality, critical thinking. We're actually told these are bad things if taken too far, because, what do you know, they might lead you to a place where you discard the religious bullshit you've been fed all your life. We are told there is such a thing as reading too much. We are told that we shouldn't think too much about the concept of God because if you do you might actually go mad.
And, woe unto us, we LISTEN.
There can be no progress without Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. How much do we invest in these? Not much. You think the 'youth' are going to change that when Otabil has been telling them science is bunk? Keep dreaming.
The youth cannot save us when they are carbon copies of their parents who dragged us into our current situation.

Its about values, morals and a determination to do something before you die, for your nation and generation and these the Bible supports. God is against mediocrity because the entire universe is founded on the principle of excellence. Our curretn state cannot be blamed on God but ourselves
You are guilty of the same thing you accuse others of my guy. You appear immensely shallow in your reasoning and you over simplify your points. If you think there's no God i can only pity you. Take some time to experience God for yourself and you will see that he is not a myth. Stop reading those atheist books and spend time with God and he will reveal himself to you. Of course in everything there are those who take it to the extreme and end up not representing what the group stands for. If you are on whatsapp with some people who may be have not taken their Christianity serious you don't use that to generalize.
I agree with you in some aspects,others I strongly disagree with you. However,You are entitled to your view and I appreciate it.
Thunder fire your immense ignorance
