He said the rate at which the youth failed examinations, smoked Indian hemp and resort to okada riding made the community’s future bleak.
The monarch raised the alarm in his speech to mark his 10th coronation anniversary in Ado-Ekiti on Monday.
Ajayi said, “Unless we wake up and do something quick, the future of our youths, especially those who reside at home, could be very bleak. Most of our youths are unemployed; those who failed their Senior School Certificate Examination now prefer to ride okada, smoke Indian hemp and impregnate as many girls of school’s age as possible.
“They are neither useful to their families nor to the community at large. The crop of these youths is ready recruits in the hand of unscrupulous politicians.”
Urging the indigenes to establish small scale industries in the community, he said such step would provide job opportunities for the youth and address the vices.
