| dc.description.abstract | "Knowing that you are young is enough for me to love youl" This is the magic statement of St. John Bosco, which made me reflect on the situation of the young people in the world today and in Nigeria in particular. Since I came in contact with the Salesians in Nigeria in 1989, I have developed a great interest in the affairs of young people. Between 1990 and 1991 I was working with youth in schools, parishes, and youth centers as an aspirant to the Salesian congregation. From 1992 when I started my pre-novitiate until 1998, I was actively involved in the work of animation of youth groups, teaching in schools, organizing seminars, working in the youth centers and parishes in three different cities, Akure, Ondo and Onitsha During these years I came in contact with different kinds of youth from different ethnic groups, religious beliefs, and family backgrounds. Most of them expressed the problems, miseries, misunderstandings and crises they encounter as youth in Nigeria. From May to August 2001, during my holiday in Nigeria, I was able to meet some youth from the cities of Enugu, Onitsha, Lagos, Ondo and Akure who shared their ideas and problems with me. Through these contacts and my previous work, I have been able to grasp more deeply their situation in Nigeria today. | en_US |
