Youth and Evangelization: Morality – The Basis of Social Developmen

By

Abstract

Rev. Fr. Dr. F. N. Akukwe, (National Chaplain) pleads with
the Nigerian Society to make haste slowly to enable us to
accommodate the less privileged who are suffering from
want in the midst of plenty. He observes that one of OW
major problems is insincerity in high and low places. People
do not practice what they preach. Such deprivations lead
to a vicious circle of everybody to himself.
He observes that our unstable history as a nation had
thought us little or nothing as Nigerians still seU their votes
to the highest bidder (Youths inclusive). This state of affairs
encourages injustice in all ramifications and leads to break
down of law aqd order. Development he empbasiies must
be founded on sound moral living that strikes a balance
between self and society norms anchored in the will of God.
Morality is the true basis of development and this morality
must not be subjective but objective, respecting God's
universal plan for man.
