The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Anambra State Command, has warned youths in the state against the mindset of getting instant wealth.
Speaking on Tuesday, at a press conference in Awka, the state commandant, of the NSCDC, Maku Olatunde, attributed the increase in crime, lawlessness to a societal obsession with ‘get rich quick’ syndrome.
Mr. Olatunde also called on youths to channel their energy and ambition towards legitimate opportunities for wealth creation, emphasising the importance of prioritising integrity, hard work and moral values.
He said: “This obsession can lead individuals to prioritise financial gain over moral principles, contributing to the breakdown of law and order.
“In a society where materialism and desire to belong in the elite is the order of the day, there is always an alarming rate of crime and social vices.
“Many of our youths are no longer interested in doing the right thing, some dropped out of school to embark on kidnapping, killings and cybercrime also known as yahoo yahoo, favouring shortcuts that often lead to dead ends.”
