It is likely that the title of this piece would be misread as 'targeting democracy dividends'. That would be pardonable, because Nigeria on May 29, 2009 marked the first straight 10 years of civilian rule since her independence in 1960. Many citizens believe that the dividends of democracy have been scanty and concentrated within the political class.Thus a new vista for higher performance of government is craved by the citizenry as Nigeria matches on with civilian administration. Even then, that is a drift from the kernel of this piece. I therefore ask readers to have a second reading of the title.

The current estimate is that there are 1.5 billion young people (15-24 years old) in the world at the moment. A relative highest percentage of this is in Sub Saharan Africa, where women give birth to 5.5 children on average in their life time. This high fertility level has been responsible for the youthful population in our region, significantly more than the frightening mortality rates in SSA. | |
