00:02 Good day students.

00:12 My name is Eberechi Nwaeze,

00:14 Welcome to Civic Education class.

00:16 Today, we'll be looking at youth empowerment.

00:19 By the end of this class,

00:20 you'll be able to explain the concept of youth empowerment.

00:23 You'll also be able to state

00:25 the different youth empowerment skills.

00:27 You'll also be able to at least the importance

00:29 and benefits of the different skills.

00:32 And you'll be guided to acquire

00:34 a relevant specific skills.

00:36 Now we're going to a note.

00:39 A youth is a person within the age range of 18 and 15,

00:43 irrespective of gender.

00:45 Not just a male, but both the male and female are youth

00:48 within the age of 18 and 13.

00:52 Youth empowerment is an ideal program fashion

00:54 to enable the youth to learn skills, trade or profession.

00:59 It relates on how to do the now,

01:00 doctoral and cultural process,

01:03 whereby young people gain the ability and authority

01:06 to make decisions and implement change

01:09 in their life and in the world.

01:12 What the statement is talking about is a youth empowerment.

01:14 It's a program that empowers you to gain skills,

01:17 relevant skills that can help them make decisions

01:20 for themselves and also help them make positive changes

01:23 in the society.

01:24 It also do with the provision of the right environment

01:27 for youth to exercise their God-given talent,

01:30 as well as teaching and mentoring them to do great things.

01:34 Oh, talking about the right environment,

01:35 talking about an environment that is growth-friendly,

01:38 an environment that supports the youth,

01:41 an environment that encourages the youth

01:43 that the upload the youth for the little they are making,

01:45 an environment that supports them in mentoring them

01:48 to achieve greater steps.

01:51 Then we want to look at the concept of youth empowerment.

01:54 Youth empowerment specifically involves the following.

01:57 What we want to look at are,

01:58 one we mentioned youth empowerment,

02:00 what are we talking about?

02:02 First, encouraging youth to develop

02:04 and maximize their ability and talent.

02:07 I also mentioned youth empowerment talking about

02:09 giving youth all the support they need to attend greater heights.

02:13 It is up in the youth to develop strong leadership skills

02:16 for future responsibilities.

02:18 There's this common song you again in primary and post primary schools,

02:22 parent listening to your children,

02:24 we are the leaders of tomorrow.

02:26 Giving them the opportunity for education and acquisition of skills,

02:30 they are used to be given the opportunity for education

02:33 at the primary, the secondary and tertiary levels.

02:37 The concept of youth empowerment arose in Nigeria.

02:40 When Nigeria saw the level of socio-economic and political decay

02:44 was reaching an alarming state.

02:46 What we talk about is socio-economic and political decay.

02:48 We're talking about oil, bonkin, kidnapping,

02:52 vitro killing, militancy, ballot box snatching,

02:56 for suffocation of election result,

02:59 and other negative vices.

03:01 Well, a lot of these negative vices posed a threat

03:03 to the development of the country.

03:05 There was a need for youth empowerment.

03:07 And that was when the concept of youth empowerment

03:09 came into being in Nigeria.

03:12 If I don't comment on Nigeria, in 1987,

03:15 established a national directorate of employment, NDE.

03:20 In 1999, the National Poverty Education Program,

03:24 NAPEP, as a institution charged with responsibility

03:27 of with empowerment's skin.

03:29 These two programs were established

03:32 by the federal government of Nigeria

03:34 to ensure that youth empowerment is propagated

03:37 and ensure that youths provided skills

03:40 they need to take charge of their work.

03:43 In the same year 1999, the federal government came up

03:47 with a program on economic reform called

03:50 National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy,

03:54 shortly known as NEEDS.

03:56 NEEDS aimed at bringing about economic reforms, growth,

04:00 and development through developing

04:02 all the various sectors of the economy,

04:05 however, it had a concentration on youth empowerment.

04:09 All we want to talk about is youth empowerment.

04:11 We want to now look at youth empowerment skills.

04:13 First, we have life coping skills.

04:17 This is defined as the affective cognitive

04:20 and psychomotor skills needed to do

04:23 with everyday life challenges.

04:25 A position of this skills help to equip

04:27 the individual for growth and progress in life.

04:31 What is going to be talking about are skills

04:32 that are relevant for a person to be able to face day

04:36 in day out challenges that life may push to them.

04:39 Yeah, I have some of these skills.

04:40 First, break up big tax into small units.

04:44 That's the place of critical thinking.

04:46 Many persons able to think and break up big tax into smaller units

04:49 for easy achievement of tax and goals.

04:52 Sort out what can be changed and those that cannot be changed.

04:57 Other life coping skills is make a plan of action

05:00 and follow it's up.

05:02 When the person can be able to make a plan,

05:04 draw a goal set a goal.

05:05 Like for example, one would do my new year resolution,

05:07 my new year goals.

05:08 You set these goals and you're able to flow your goals

05:12 till they are all achieved.

05:14 Avoid distractions.

05:16 So many distractions can come in life,

05:18 but you should avoid distraction.

05:19 You should stay focused on your goals, your dreams.

05:23 Never give up.

05:24 Some situations may come so challenging

05:26 and may want you to give up,

05:27 but you shouldn't give up on them.

05:30 Speak positively and avoid negative thoughts.

05:33 Encourage yourself.

05:35 Even when no one encourages you, encourage yourself.

05:39 Develop hobbies, develop good hobbies.

05:41 Do not act existently when on that pressure.

05:46 Pray and meditate over matters.

05:49 Seek for support when necessary.

05:52 Do not let obstacles of failure discourage you.

05:56 Keep yourself from feeling lonely.

05:58 Have good people around you that can encourage you

06:02 when situations arises.

06:04 Now want to look at manipulative skills.

06:07 Manipulative skills are skills in which

06:09 individual learn how to handle objects

06:12 and procession, speed and control.

06:15 It is physical in nature.

06:17 It is ability to manipulate things and objects

06:20 with the help of the body and part of the body.

06:24 On talk about manipulative skills,

06:25 we're talking about train the ball and kicking it.

06:28 Playing the piano, organ or any other music instrument.

06:32 We're talking about eligible and attractive and writing.

06:36 The use of scissors.

06:38 Talking about bricklaying, talking about capentry,

06:41 talking about information and communication technology.

06:44 We're talking about driving skills.

06:47 Now we've considered manipulative skills.

06:49 Now let's go to intellectual skills.

06:52 Intellectual skills involves the use of one thinking ability.

06:56 When you're able to carry out critical thinking

06:58 on the particular issue, you're able to bring both.

07:00 That is what intellectual skills is talking about.

07:03 We want to now consider some intellectual skills.

07:05 One, mathematical reasoning.

07:08 This is the ability to analyze and deal with the abstract.

07:11 It involves the ability to work mentally with numbers,

07:14 symbols and mathematical relationships.

07:17 Another intellectual skills is ability to describe.

07:21 These skills is taught on master in childhood.

07:24 When a person is able to differentiate

07:26 with the use of color, shapes and sizes.

07:30 Another intellectual skill is vocabulary ability.

07:34 This skill involves mastery and use of words.

07:38 It is obtained by ad work.

07:40 What about vocabulary skills?

07:41 You must be close to a dictionary.

07:43 You know the beginning of a particular word.

07:45 When to use it and when not to use it.

07:47 Again, inductive reasoning.

07:49 This is the ability to make conclusion based

07:52 on general observation.

07:55 Now I want to look at communication skills.

07:58 Communication skills have to do with the ability

08:01 in language understanding, good communication

08:04 and practical language.

08:07 Communication skills have been defined

08:09 as a process of exchange and information

08:11 between two or more individuals.

08:14 So in communication is also limited to two,

08:16 it could be two or more people.

08:18 It also do with shared symbols,

08:20 such as mathematical and language,

08:22 besides words and messages.

08:27 It also can be passed through

08:29 Joshua Cruz, Jones, I contact casuals,

08:33 physical closeness, voice quality and body language.

08:38 So let's take a look at communication skills.

08:42 We'll be looking at some types of communication skills.

08:45 First, I have expressive skills.

08:47 This skills is used to convey message from one person

08:51 to another.

08:52 We are accessible.

08:53 And the person is able to express himself.

08:56 They are listening skills.

08:57 Listening skills enables the listener

09:00 respond to the issue raised in clear terms.

09:03 It involves paying attention to other person as he speaks.

09:07 Listening to gain understanding of what is being said

09:10 and to react in the way the speaker would know

09:12 that the listener knows what is said.

09:15 Listening skill is very important in communication.

09:18 It brings a complete shone of communication

09:21 when a person is able to listen,

09:23 understand and digest the information passed

09:26 and able to respond to the information rightly.

09:30 Another type of communication skills is management of data.

09:34 This is the ability and process

09:36 to manage fast amount of information.

09:39 It's also due to using what is needed

09:41 and living that are not useful for the time being.

09:45 Mental or management of data is one

09:47 being able to see that are picked out

09:49 the important information from the data

09:52 and live out their own necessary ones.

09:55 Then want to look at artistic skills.

09:58 Artistic skills are skills and technique

10:01 involved in producing virtual representations.

10:05 Artistic skills mainly include sculpture.

10:09 This is the formation of representation of objects

10:12 in relief, solid or sound.

10:15 It involves modeling, carving and construction.

10:19 Well, then it's also a form of sculpture.

10:22 Now want to look at design.

10:24 This is defined as the act of communication

10:27 with virtual pictures or illustration.

10:30 The types include per-study design,

10:33 music design and package design.

10:36 Another type is printmaking.

10:39 This is a use of technology to print on materials

10:43 and include woodblock printing,

10:46 silk skin printing, printing on ceramic and little graphene.

10:51 Again, it's drawing.

10:53 Training is an artistic skill that

10:55 is the act of depicting image and motifs in line

10:59 to form shapes and pictures on surface.

11:04 Again, painting.

11:05 Painting has to do with the act of applying color or colors

11:09 on given surface with the help of brush or other ad object,

11:13 other painting objects.

11:15 It has been described as a process of vision paint

11:18 to illustrate virtual or imagined aesthetic forms

11:22 or shapes.

11:24 Now want to look at the importance and benefits

11:27 of viewed empowerment skills.

11:29 First, development of viewed potentials.

11:32 Viewed empowerment programs help you

11:34 to develop their potentials.

11:36 They then discover their God-giving talent

11:39 and have them develop it into skills

11:42 that is able to solve problems facing the world.

11:45 Again, employment.

11:46 Viewed with the right skills will not only be

11:48 carefully employed but will be able to employ others.

11:52 It also helps in reducing the rate of unemployment,

11:56 which is vis-à-vis reducing the rate of poverty in the country.

12:00 Again, investing for the future.

12:03 But earlier I mentioned that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow,

12:06 that the future, investing in youth empowerment,

12:10 is also investing in the future.

12:12 Because investing in the apartment,

12:13 there will be people ready to take up positions

12:15 in the nearest future.

12:17 Promotion of self-reliance.

12:20 Empowerment program exposed youths of vocational training.

12:23 This training equips them to be self-employed

12:26 and make them to be potential employers of labor.

12:31 Again, crime rate reduction.

12:34 We could earlier remember when we were discussing

12:36 the evolution of viewed empowerment in Nigeria.

12:39 Second of the recent youth empowerment,

12:41 or the major recent youth empowerment,

12:42 came into being in Nigeria.

12:44 It was the higher rate of socio-economic and political decay in the country.

12:49 So youth empowerment is a means of reducing the crime rate in Nigeria.

12:54 Youth empowerment will help reduce the crime rate.

12:58 During the time employed,

12:59 they will have little or no time to be involved in anti-social activities.

13:05 Again, better and lean of life challenges.

13:08 One of the youth empowerment skills is life coping skills.

13:12 Through these programs, they will be equipped to be able to face challenges

13:16 and come out victoriously.

13:17 They also enable them to deal with bad habits such as drug,

13:22 cortisine and prostitution amongst others.

13:25 Another importance of viewed empowerment skill is strengthening confidence

13:30 and empower youth to be confident of easier potentials

13:34 or be able to face the crowd and deliver rightly.

13:38 Youth empowerment skills generally prepare youths for leadership positions.

13:42 The youth are the leaders of tomorrow.

13:45 When they are empowered, when they are up,

13:46 all the necessary skills will be able to take up leadership positions.

13:49 In the nearest future, they become leaders.

13:52 In their respective organization or political setting.

13:55 Now, we want to have a guide to acquiring relevant specific skills.

13:59 It's also enough to know about youth empowerment,

14:02 but you should also have the zeal to acquire a skill that is relevant

14:07 to you or a skill you could rebel and do.

14:11 In order for youth to properly acquire relevant skills,

14:14 they should be exposed to professionals in those fields.

14:17 First, it's computer operations.

14:20 You could want to aerobic in a school that provides computer training.

14:24 Computer data science is one of the trending skills

14:27 in the world today and on eye demand.

14:30 Then graphic designing.

14:32 It also could also aerate to land websites creation.

14:36 Again, building construction.

14:38 Legal end-carpentry is very, very necessary

14:41 because every home demands a furniture.

14:44 Electrical installations and repairs.

14:46 Another skill you could want to acquire if you have interest

14:50 in anything related to electricity.

14:53 Again, furniture making and painting.

14:57 We have interior and exterior designing.

14:59 You could become an event designer or event decorator.

15:02 You could decorate events alongside your former education.

15:08 Now we've learnt youth empowerment.

15:11 I have some evaluations for you to know if you really understood

15:14 what has been taught in today's class.

15:16 In Section A, you are only to underline the suitable answers.

15:43 C, indifference.

15:46 Third, a unit of the person we didn't touch age range.

15:50 It's an entity, 20 and 40, 18 and 40.

15:55 Again, the abbreviation of National Poverty Education

15:58 program is dash.

16:00 Look at the objective carefully and pick the right one.

16:04 Identify the odd item in the following.

16:06 I have painting, management of data and prints making.

16:11 Now, let's go to Section B of the evaluation.

16:14 In this section, the first question is for you

16:17 to describe youth empowerment.

16:20 If you ask what is youth empowerment,
