Do you agree with me that crime is increasing by the day among this generation.

[POPOLUV]

With the high rate of increase in crime in the society this days, i have not listened to any news any day without hearing casualty being recorded within the 36 states across Nigeria and for that, i decided to highlight these few factors that people might be thinking is the course of crimes happening every blessed day.

Factors that can cause an increasment of crimes in the society
(1)Bad government
(2)Laziness
(3)Given birth to so much children that you can't take proper care

There are many factors that might cause an increasment of crimes in the society but i choose to mention the few factors because i feel like this is the major causes that should be looking into because bad government has it own role to play in the society, when there is a bad government nothing seems to work, then laziness is when people refuse to push forward in one business or handwork constantly to succeed but will just choose to be involved themselves in smoking different hard substances, that will useless their life's and befor could know it, the mindset of building for the future will not be there, and they will start stealing and killing to make money, the last factors seems to have the major causes of an increasment of crimes in this generation, a parent that gives birth to children and they can send those children to school or engage them in hardwork, before you could know those children will grown up constituting  crimes in the society.

So do will think parents has the major roll to play in up bring of their children? or it is about bad government?

[Bigjoe33]

Truly, things are really going bad day by day, and it's not new. A lot of things have gone wrong, and the society is dying always.

The factors you mentioned are very responsible for the poor state of the country. Another one to be noted is POOR PARENTING. Many parents have failed to do there work as parents. The right upbringing from the home is just so lacking and children grow up with the wrong mindset and it gradually affects the child's attitude I'm adulthood.

But the truth of the matter is that, we can't blame the government alone, it's a collective effort to make the society better. The government have to sit up, parents have to sit up, individually, everyone has to sit. Even our schools, they have to improve in teaching morals. Our church, they also have to improve in there teachings. To make it better, it's a collective effort.

Parents has a lot to play, but do you know that many parents know that their child is into fraudulent things like scam and something criminal? Especially scam? If you do not know, that is just the truth. If the parent are not rich and have suffered a lot in life, especially those mothers, they might even be the one that will help their children in some aspect of the scam businesses that they are into.

I do not think I should blame the government, but they contribute. The reason I will not totally blame them is because in countries that have good government, there is still crime and scam in such country. Also people should not totally depend on the government.

I think the government really needs to enact birth control laws in this country because it baffles me when I see many children on the streets begging under sun and rain. The wealthy people in the society gives birth to few children even though they have enough money and resources to take care of many children but I still don't understand the logic in giving birth to many children by poor people. Gone are those days when our fore fathers gave birth to many children so that they will have enough labourers who can take care of their farm lands, we are no longer in the stone age so couples should learn to give birth to few numbers of children.

3 children is okay for a family even if they're all one gender. Bad government contributed to the rise in crimes among youths but let's not forget that charity begins at home. If those children were well trained and nurture by their parents, they won't chose crime as the only way to make a living. The country is hard but there are people who are surviving without indulging in crimes. A bad government should never be an excuse to the increase in crime because it has to do with the mindset of the individuals who commits those crimes.

[Frankolala]

I will put almost all the blame on the parents because it's their duties to bring up these children in a God fearing way with good morals. If you don't bring up your child in a God fearing way, he can easily be influenced by bad companies which will make him involve himself in several crimes in the society. Some girls gave birth in an early age and couldn't bring up these children in the right way, because they were still very young to understand the role of a mother and how to bring up these children to become useful in the society.

I'm in support of what you said, parent should be held responsible for what their children turn into, but haven't you heard that some children retrain themselves after there parents perform parental role, although I still think parents have much role to play in the up bringing of their children, op said something about giving birth to many children that they can't train in skills or schools and all that, I think that's also a problem, when you go to the northern part of Nigeria, the amajiris that have been used to cause problem in this country are good example of that, in our society today, there are parents that give birthday to many children they can not train, which is why the society is no longer safe, poverty is also a problem, mate you made good points, if you go to some families, everything has changed, it is now a kinda of difficult to bend children of these days.

[PhilosopherKing]

Tue talk bruv. We keep blaming the government because of how things has turned out. But while we are blaming the government some other people are their constituting nuisance in the society. How can person be wretched that you can't even feed the two children you have and you still wanna get more offspring, isn't that dumb?

Religion has even blindfolded people the more that they become so delusional in claiming that children is the gift from God. They run with this thiking all their life, and that is why you will see someone giving birth to lots of children that they can't take care of. Even GOD will be so pissed when he sees how humans uses his NAME to keep littering the world he created with childrens. And some of this children will go and start doing crime because no one is there to take care of them.

Many of this bandit that are kidnapping and killing people are teenage who had to go and so crime because there was no quality education to receive, hell yeah, some didn't even have a home to grow up in since they grew up in the streets.

Yes the government are not helping us, but at least let us help ourselves first before we blame the government.

[Pearl_20]

Yes absolutely, every parents has a great role to play in the life of their children, from home that's where leaders are formed and from home we have a society so if the house is corrupt, bad or destroyed the society is destroyed as well. So many children constituting nuisance in the society is from a broken home, some are from partners that have separated or divorced, others are too many children like you said and the resources to take care of them isn't there so a lot of them get themselves into so many crimes to survive.

The government only tries to correct the error that has already happened from homes, some parents these days are so busy that they don't have time for their children all they do is work and the entire lives of their children is in the hands of a nanny, so what these children does from day to day isn't of much interest to them and that's how some join gangs in school, some become extremely heavy smokers, others become nuisance to the society. The government has nothing much to do with children that is already bad from home, parents needs to do more because for we to have a peaceful society that's crime free we need homes that's full of love, guidance, correction, peaceful and also discipline.

[Qhunman]

So do will think parents has the major roll to play in up bring of their children? or it is about bad government?

parents play a Vita role in training a child.  It is the responsibility of a parent to train a child in the right way, so that when the child grows up, they will not depart from it, one of the reason why a child doesn't grow up to be honest and reasonable is because they weren't properly trained by their parents at home yet when this child gets involved in a crime and gets apprehended, we don't hesitate to blame the government as the cause of it. The government can't be held responsible when a child gets apprehended by security operative for committing a crime because it was done intentional. Government can be blamed for not ensuring there are adequate jobs, security, better roads and so forth but not for someone else's crime.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I think it's better to highlight the fact that pointing fingers at the government or the parents, is quite being unreasonable because, we as humans are born with individual conscience and consciousness and even though we might find ourselves in situations that are not pleasant, it's left for our conscience to put us on the right path.

Crime is definitely increasing and there's so many factors involved, including bad government, bad parenting, bad society, and so many others, but like I said, it's an individual responsibility to sit and think about their life and decide to do right or not.
The end of crime comes with bad consequences same goes for not committing crimes and it ends with a good name, long peaceful life and good children who rise on the good name already in place.

[ArabBTC]

Well another key issue that is causing increase in crime in this generation is social media, most parents are trying their best in terms of upbringing but this kids still somehow get influenced and corrupted by social media, i don’t know if i should say this new generation have an increased urge for crime, if a very little child hold your phone before you know it they will access literally everything on that phone to the point that you will be wondering how they learnt them.

This persistent divorce too is as a result of social media influence, when teenage girls listen to some of this single mother’s online they get influenced negatively and don’t value marriage, some go into prostitution, drugs etc, also when our teenage males see the lifestyle of some celebrities they become influenced and start looking for ways to explore such extravagant lifestyle, before you know it they will get into fraud, kidnapping, drugs etc just to meet up with certain lifestyle.

I think the government should as a matter of urgency reduce teenage access to social media, it will really go a long way in curtailing most teenagers at early age, so that they don’t end up embracing crime when they grow up.

[Ndabagi01]

Family is the first stage of socialisation and if a child has bad experience in their brought up, they become very vulnerable and can easily be attracted into committing unrest in the society which they live in. The increasing rate of crime is alarming but as long as the government doesn’t tackle it from the grass root, we will keep saying the same thing over again and we will not see any progress in the fight.

Bad governance comes after bad family upbringing. When the government fails in delivering their duties to its people, they became angry and can even turn violent. This is the cause of many crimes in the society and when they are caught, they easily claim their reason to be bad government haven a hand in their involvement in crime.

Laziness should be the least of what you’ve mentioned. People that engage in crime due to this reason can never ge productive in their lives. They don’t have the mindset to think, create or do something meaningful to their lives.

In a nutshell, government is to be blamed majority for the high rate of crime currently in the country, because if government had provided jobs for the millions of Nigerian youths that graduates every year from the Universities into the society, at least the rate of people involving themselves in crime would have reduced drastically. But yet the government we have doesn't care about quality empowerment and ensuring we be a country that produces, rather than that which rely on exported items. Because if I'm not mistaken, I could remember that China once regulated child birth, whereby each Chinese citizens where only allowed to give birth to just one child, in other to regulate it's population. And if Nigeria can adopt same measures, it will reduce to rate at which young girls give birth to children they can not take care of. Hence turning them as nuisance in the society.

Well, parents have a major role to play in upbringing of their children, and also government has a major role to play for the safety, stability and the growth of its citizens. All the things you've mentioned are part of the things that contribute greatly to the increase in the rate of crimes in our societies today. And they are a lots to it, such as poverty, unemployment, poor parenting (just as you did mentioned), divorce, lack of contentment/ greed, corruption, and living with immoral people and many more. They are a lots of things that is killing the system, but bad governance is the root of all evils.

[Abdulzuruku01]

What you highlighted are the most important things that failed this country, but parenting and bad government are what leads to laziness.
Look at the number of graduates we have and the not able to secure a job just because of a bad government, this alone have pushed many youths into a different crimes. Because the ones that have good grades are not gvn the opportunity, works are not giving in Nigeria by merit rather by connections.

Parents of nowadays don't care where their children are earning money from and it is obviously to them that they have no any skills acquisition or business that are getting money from. They are supposed to watch out for their children to monitor their moves and also need for them to acquire skills for them not to depend on anybody. But the problem now is, some parents are failing their duties as a parents.

[yixichloro2xx]

A person that have job and is contented with what they have will never involve themselves with any sort of crimes. If you look at our country, they are Millons of jobless people roaming the streets everyday, 50-60% of them are graduates. So their only means of survival will be for them to involve in crimes in order to get money for example arm robbery, fraudster, joining cult, begging or doing dirty agbero work. Normally we have to put the entire blame on the government, but the citizens who find themselves in this act are also to be blamed. Reason is because some of them  are a too lazy to learn crafts, trade or any skills that they can fall back to if education certificate doesn't get them a job. So I agree with your first 2 reasons which is the government and laziness. Like the saying goes an idle mind is the Devil workshop. But regardless of how economy is good or bad , theres no place that crime doesn't exist in, there rate of it is just different. 

[Cryptoprincess101]

True that a bad government can give rise to crime and social vices but it doesn't mean that we should use because the government is bad and begin to commit different crimes. Anybody that wants the government to change their ways will not like to involve themselves in crime scene. The truth is that most parents are really trying to train their children with good moral standards but it's unfortunate that children of now are easily influenced by peer pressure. They want to do what their mates are doing and that is why you see many children getting involved in frauds because they have been brainwashed by their friends that it is the only way to make good amount of money. I can't blame their parents because the society has been corrupted already.

[Alonso_]

There are so many things causes crimes in the Society, just like you have mentioned some people are just Naturally wicked to get themselves involved in crime, lack of employment is one major reason why we are seeing crime increasing in Nigeria, there is no job for people, so they can take care of their bills and take responsibility for themselves and their families. But when you don’t have a source of income then it becomes a problem, you can’t survive in this world without money, some people are just born lazy whatever you give them as a job or source of income doesn’t work well for them, then getting into crimes would be easy for them. The Government can only try to reduce crimes but can’t totally eliminate crime, the problem is also that Government are always involved in some crimes in the society, the Government is the root of every problem we are facing in Nigeria, bad governance is one major reason why we are having increase in crime.

[Hewlet]

So do will think parents has the major roll to play in up bring of their children? or it is about bad government?

No matter how bad an economy gets, a child that is well brought up by her parents will be the last to engage in most of the criminal activities we see that is going on in our society. most of the youths are from broken homes and have parents that are irresponsible when it comes to providing the financial and emotional support that these youths needs. because they have to survive through any available means, they become a tool in the hands of the politician who are ready to pay them handsomely just to get their evil deeds carried out.

The parents, the government, lack of jobs, societal influence, peer pressure and the youths themselves are the cause of the increasing crime rate in out society. if most of these contributors change and start to serve as a positive influence to the youth rather than influencing and pressuring them to get even worse, things will become better to a large extent. every one has a part that they have failed in.

That is just it because if you should watch vividly in this generation you will understand that mostly the parents that didn't fall within the categories of either being rich or not being poor or rich but has the money of training up a child in the way he/her should grow but this days those parents that has not any source of income or means of survival on their own, will be given birth every years, so for that, i will suggest that if government can look into the case of children lottery around the society selling pure water or begging in the street while their mates are in school studying, so if the government can make public to understand that once you give birth child that you can train as expected from you as the parents you will surely go jail for it, and also government should provide a monitorary teams that will help the government of enforcing the law to public.
