My Evolution: Thoughts, Effort, Space And Time

This work was designed to provide practical career guidance to school children and young people aspiring to become professionals in a given career. Providing career guidance is more pertinent to the collective advancement and security of our society today than ever. Children and young people form a large segment of global population and they are a vital link in the evolution of leadership talent in Africa and the world. Children form one-sixth and one-fifth in Africa and Sub-Saharan African population. In Nigeria about 44% of the populations are children aged between o-14 years. This large population makes them relevant to the development of leadership and also vulnerable given rising levels of poverty and deprivation. The fact on ground is that without proper career guidance, much of these children and young adults may actually evolve into becoming national threats as; militants, terrorists, kidnappers, fraudsters and armed robbers. Data gathered from the website of the UNFPA indicates that half of the world's populations are children less than 25 years. This means for Africa and Nigeria to succeed in guaranteeing Social and Economic development it must give urgent priority attention to the developmental concerns of children and young people. There is therefore an urgent need to provide children and young people with helpful tools to enable them cultivate discipline, determination, dedication, orderliness and through these values, build a successful career. Pursuing a career is a guaranteed strategy for eliminating youth delinquency. It will also help in preserving our national values and assuring social integration and mutual development of Africa and Nigeria. Furthermore this work will help reduce the apathy for schooling, triggered by lack of self-confidence, wrong beliefs about learning, career development, and since it will motivate young people to be preoccupied with developing and pursuing personal career plans, it may very well reduce cases of truancy and hooliganism.
