The Nigeria Grassroot Youth Forum is an orgnaization set To generate and induce motivational spirits in our youths through, programmers seminars, television on messages dealing on subjects and topics of relevant importance.
NIGERIA GRASSROOT YOUTH FORUM (NGRYF): Is conceived on the recognition of the fact that a good percentage of our youth would be leaders and parents have either derailed from positive living or are at the verge of doing so due to influences such as:
PEER PREASURE: Youths are mostly influenced and lured into doing what they aught not to do just because their peers tend to have a stronger influence on their counterparts.
MASS MEDIA: The effects of the mass media on the youths can almost be described as negative. The advent of magazine that practice junk journalism and ill-inspired texts/stories the publication and circulation of such write ups as making quick money glamorous lifestyle, sex, drug peddling gangasterism etc, only leave our youths in the world of imagination and fantasies, thereby allowing them the practice of such vices.
SOCIETY: Some of our societal beliefs, norms and values are archaic and in human in it exploits. Some of these cultures, which have been inculcated and in bided in the youths are the causes of communal and trial classes as evidenced today, since it’s the weapon often used by the elderly to induce fights and cause disharmony.
FAMILY: The influence of family on the youths cannot be over emphasis. A hostile family tends to bring up hostile child. A broken home tends to bring up without have and parental care. These children will grow up to become hostile youths without love and affection for others.
CURIOSITY: Most youths get into negative vices simply because they are curious and want to experiment. A twenty - three year old drug – addict confessed that he got into drugs because he wanted to feel the after effect.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX: When youths develop an inferiority complex among their peers either because of their family background and status or the way they see them selves as inferiors they tend to resort to taking intoxicants such as; Opium, alcohol drugs, all of the social vices that characterize the youth of our society, which gives them a temporary and false feelings self esteem and importance to stand their company.
Most of these youths would have remained on track if they had been properly checked, advised and given relevant information.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: NGRYF is designed to expose direct and educate the youths, parents, guardians and the entire society on cause and consequences of indulgence in such negative vices with a view of correcting and setting some control for a healthier tomorrow.
