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

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

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 agree with you because even most times you will see a child of about 15 to 20 years old that isn't doing anything tangible job will be driving a costly Benz worth millions of naira and their parents wouldn't question the source of the money used in purchasing such an expensive car. Sometimes most of them even build houses for their parents and this things continue like that. So in essence, some parents are indeed the major causes of the negative energy going on in our society. Perhaps, assuming they were doing what is expected of them as parents or guardians their children wouldn't be doing dirty stuff just to feel among.

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.

The government also has their own shortcomings and I just don't want to talk about it because theirs is even more annoying. Maybe, if they were doing the needful by making jobs opportunity available, graduate wouldn't be this stranded the way they are. However, i know we don't have to completely wait for the government to do everything for us but they can probably provide a softer ground than this, at least that will be more better than it is.

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?

Yes, I agree with you that things have gone out of hand and the crime rate in the country now is beyond what it uses to be some years back but I won't lay the blames on the government because it's a collective efforts from the parents to train and nurture their children very well so they can blend into the society without causing nuisance, the government is not trying in terms of making policies that will ease hardship in the country but that doesn't mean the Youths will go about committing crimes and stealing in other to survive, no I don't subscribe to that.

I can't say the Youths are lazy because I know Nigerian Youths are very hard working, so I can say that the birth rate is high which affects the parents because they can't fend for the children and they end up becoming criminals and kidnappers so they can survive the hardship in the country, bad government has an influence too but not much to when parents can't provide and take care of their children.

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

My father is a man that always want to know how his children make their money. When I didn't know how to trade a coin or token on a centralized exchange yet, I sent a token to my cousin brother to help me trade it and convert it to Naira. When my cousin brother finished trading the token and converted it to Nigeria, he brought the money to my house, but I wasn't in the house to take the money from him so he gave the money to my mother, so when I came back my father told me that my cousin brother brought money for me, and he asked me which kind of business did I and my cousin brother did that made him to bring money for me, and I told him my cousin brother helped me to trade a token for me, that's when my father believe I and my cousin brother didn't engage ourselves into fraudulent activities. The ways my parents brought me up help me not to involve myself into fraudulent activities so I agree parents has a big role to play in the lives of their children to ensure they behave well and avoid crime.

When ever the topic is about spoilt children or a failed generation the cause can always be traced back down to the parent who gave those children the leverage of doing whatever they like without questioning them properly. I don't know about other but the kind of parents I grew up with will always question whatever doesn't sit right with them and that helped me avoid some silly mistakes that I would have given access to in my life. Sometimes their decision might be unclear but to you because they are making it from a wide rage of experience that you can only get after which you have made those mistakes over the years.

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

I believe things wouldn't have escalated the way it is now if we had a good government and a better country economy. Talking about giving birth to so many children by the poor people the rich also gave birth to many children but since we don't see them beg on the street we only thought that it's the poor that use to born many children because we see most of them begging in the streets.

Actually people are to use their common sense now, the country economy is bad and things are highly expensive, any man who don't have much to care of his family can only give birth to children he can be able to train and take good care of, instead of giving birth here and there and expect the government to help that's never possible.

[danieldavidd]

Yes I agreed with that information the crime in this country he has gotten to another level beyond control, and the government contributed alot for it, the situation by not creating enough jobs to the citizens of the country, system of the economy is not functioning, when the system economy is not functioning there's going to be alot of crisis in the country because the government doesn't not give the young generation opportunity to Express their skills today the world.

[HajiBagi]

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.

I agree with you that poor parenting is one of the reason why crime is increasing in Nigeria, because most parents don’t know how to teach their children how to live a good life without no doing anything bad, some parents have failed to raise their kids well all because of love and want to prove that they are good parents, but the main reason why crime is increasing day by day in this generation is because of bad government, bad government have been one of the biggest reason why crime is increasing, no good jobs and there are many citizens who are suffering due to lack of money to pay their bills or afford to pay for a daily food, although bad government is not a reason some to commit a crime but when some people don’t have a choice, they will start doing anything to pay their bills.

[Juicyhome]

It still ball down to government when the government fail to create jobs and empower the people,  the people will create job by themselves by engaging in kidnapping, sex workers,  cultism and other crimes in to society just to survive since the government couldn't get them a job. Same thing is happening in Nigeria today,  the issue of insecurity started because the Government had failed to do create enough jobs for the youths.  Until they do what's right crime will keep increasing

Secondly the youth has failed to be recruited into the army and police, because of the way our officers are being treated  in service and those that left the service long ago zero welfare for them,  lack of police men is one reason crime increasing too, our military and policemen should be treated well to encourage young people to be interested in national services to fight crime.

[Nwada001]

We should not always be fast to send all blame to the government as a reason to increase crime in the country. They are responsible to some extent, but they are not the only ones who we should hold accountable.

The person committing the crime is not being forced to do that. There are people who are in worse situations than those stealing and doing all manner of ill things, but they decided to take the right part. We owe ourselves a hustle, and our parents also owe us. The government failed, but we should not also fail by using the rest of our youth to blame them instead of working our way out.

[Africolo]

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.

The misconduct of a child is not entirely to be blamed on the parents because I have seen scenerios where a child is properly groom in the ways of their culture, manners and once that child gets to another environment away from home he deviates from what he was taught by his parents and begins to misbehave, going into things he won't have engaged in and the parents gets disappointed at the end of the day.

I strongly believes that the decision of being a good person or child lies solely within the individual, he alone has the will power to make that decision and not allow peer pressure groups to influence the way he was groomed by his parents. Another fingers also points to the government due to lack of employment in the country and it has made many Youths go into robbery and rituals just to survive but in all of this a child can decide not to be influenced by the environment he finds himself and act responsibly without involving in crime.

Unemployment and poor welfare contribute to insecurity in Nigeria, but we shouldn't justify crime because the government has failed the people. The government needs to create more job opportunities, support small businesses, and empower young people to become financially independent. At the same time, our security personnel deserve better salaries, proper equipment, and good retirement benefits. How can we expect young people to be motivated to join the military or police when they see how some officers are treated? Tackling insecurity requires both economic opportunities for the youths and a well-equipped, properly motivated security force. Until the government addresses these issues, the fight against insecurity will remain a serious challenge.

[Decimetre]

Nigerians are not very lazy when you check the situation of the country. The government are the major cause of every societal uproar because they make policies that cause severe economic damages on the citizens. A country that does not create jobs but use tax to kill every growing businesses. They set tax too high that many beginners get frustrated and leave the business. Bad governance stand as the root cause of every Social vices.

Parents too are to blame in the aspect of home training and basic moral conduct. Giving birth to too many children in already bad economy can make the children go wayward from the early stage and get exposed to crimes in other to survive.

Crimes are in the rise but I see it as a preplanned government weapon to cause confusion in the society and distract the masses while they're busy looting the funds. Government now welcome criminals more than the good ones because the criminals are more useful for election misconducts and fighting their oppositions. Most of these criminals are trained by the government for this purpose and pushed into the society.

What of the news of cultists renovating a police station in rivers state? Same way it happens that cartels still control governments and many more. If the government decides to say no to crime, crime will lessen. I'm only against mentioning laziness as the factor because many criminals are more hardworking than you can imagine. Government is the problem and parents too.

The government are responsible for 70% of crime happening around the country as we can't say they are responsible of 100% crime happening in the country, the crime in the country wouldn't have been much if they had provide job opportunities for the youth, make sure that the economy is stabilize, reduce the price of things and make sure there is adequate security in all corner of the country.

And even though government is to be blamed, at least we still have the remaining 30% of ourselves to blamed if we remain unuseful, despite the fact that government have failed to provide jobs for the youths. And thats why we have handwork and skills such as barbing, machanic and hair dressers in the society who are doing very well and providing value to the public. Because imagine a situation whereby some group of persons will decide to indulge in kidnapping and banditry simply because the government failed to provide them jobs, thats another wrong way to go about it. Because for ths fact that government didn't provide for you doesn't stop you from providing for yourself.

You're sounding as if you didn't know that this people in power knows exactly what they're doing. They know all you have just mentioned, but wickedness will not let them do what is needed.  If not tell me why on a earth will a seating governor or president will serve for only God knows when and has nothing to show for all the years spent and that same person will still have the mind to say he wants to run again for the second time. Politicians has no conscience.

Assuming Nigeria was working perfectly, by now we wouldn't have been talking about Job opportunity or empowerments programs or good waters, workers welfare and so on. We would've passed that stage a long time ago. Perhaps what we shouldn't be looking out for at this present century is how to join the world in inventing new technology and not the other way round.

[Humblevirus]

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

Yes, parents really have a very big role to play in bringing up their children. If parents pay good attention to their children, guide them, and make sure they give them a good foundation in terms of character, it will be very hard for such children to change anyhow, even when they become adults and stop living with their parents.However, the lack of full attention that some parents pay to their children is one of the reasons why many children easily pick up bad characters. If parents play their roles properly in raising their children, even the rate of crime will reduce, and the government will have fewer cases to deal with.

Some people put all the blame on the government for what many children are turning into, but the main thing is the foundation of the children. If children have a good foundation, they will likely build on it as they grow up.I have seen some parents whose children possess things they cannot afford because they have no tangible source of income. Yet, some parents will never ask their children where they got those things from. Instead, they will be happy and courage even they know it in illegal ways.

[MainIbem]

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.

If we have a working government, all these would've been taken seriously, but the Nigerian government would pay less attention to anything that would help change the country, they even need more people to have criminal mindset so they can easily influence them to carry out their dirty jobs during elections. Parents are responsible for good upbringing of a child so anyone that doesn't have the capacity of training a child properly with good morales shouldn’t give birth to one that would end up being a menace to the society, that's why i support yoir suggestion.

I will agree with you on this because some parents can't even bring up their children properly sometimes I do wonder why one will choose to put to birth when they know they don't have what it takes to train their children properly. Children need to be monitored every time you don't need to neglect them to theirselves no matter how busy a parent is, its important to always create time for your children so as to know how they are doing, what they are doing, the kind of friends they keep and how they are being influenced by their peers. There are parent that sometimes you might try to call out their child's bad behaviour to and they will behave as if there is nothing wrong with what the child is doing. As parent we should try to raise our wards uprightly and also live good exemplary lives  for our children to see and live  so as to stop nuisance in the society.

It is the primary duty of parents to provide good upbringing to their children,  talking about good up bringing we are talking about constant monitoring to know when they are going astray or going against our believe.
Most parents consider there businesses and neglect their parental duties at home without even looking at the implications of what their actions would be.
That children are going astray today is basically because of the mistakes of their parents,  especially while they are still young, although we most not blame parents in all because some parents renders the desired good up bringing but children due to pairs choose something different from that already established footsteps layed by their parents from onset.

[Biirakedee]

Parents generally have a big role to play in this but I don’t think we should put everything in them alone because the situation of the country also contributes a lot to this. When someone grow up witnessing hardship and only have few opportunity to survive, such person can easily be tempted to follow a wrong path. Though this doesn’t excuse crime because there also a large number of people who also experience the same hardship and still choose to work.
I’ll say both family and environment matters, one cannot completely replace the other. Parents should teach their children good values while the government should also create an environment or society where people have fair chances to survive.
