There is no simple way to solving the African youth question. This book seeks to make a simple but no ordinary call on all stakeholders to take steps and help solve the youth question across the continent. This is a call, which does not require guns and machetes, but intellectual and moral weapons without which lasting results can never be secured. One other important issue worth mentioning, if even in passing, is the slur of ghettoes. Ghettoes have been known to provide safe havens for criminals and traps for the vulnerable youth especially the homeless, poverty stricken and those from hot spots. Ghettoes do not only provide fertile grounds for criminals, they also provide them with the opportunity to recruit vulnerable youth to their fold. There is no doubt that, policies have no legs to walk on into reality. The traditional track for their movement into reality is through programmes deliberately designed and religiously adhered to. On the other hand, institutions implement programmes. Thus the stronger, effective and resourceful an institution is, the better the programmes are implemented and consequently the effectiveness of the policy in the lives of the intended target. The media, with its reach, the ability to set agenda, and its 'god' status in the eyes of society should attempt to educate the youth on family values to the society. Debates could be generated on the essence of the family unit among others to psyche society up by highlighting the inherent beauty of the family system. The time has come for chieftaincy institution, to reassert its traditional duties to the youth and society. This is a call for grassroot education where chiefs and sub-chiefs would engage their societies in meaningful 'Nim-tree' and Baobab-tree discussions to establish codes and reinstate the position of the family in the society and more importantly to the youth. Two critical programmes, which could provide substantive and long-term opportunities to the youth, should centre on Incubation Centres and National Employment Programme. Traditionally, incubation centres give office space and technical advice in the early years of start-ups with the capacity, by design, to support any area of entrepreneurial direction government policies indicates. The high level of expertise required to successfully manage a business, coupled with the cost of rent, makes it necessary for the government, either singularly or in partnership, to support the culture of the business incubation centres. These incubation centres should be established with the core goal of providing the necessary technical support and protection for young entrepreneurs during the critical early stages of their businesses. As a matter of national priority, African leaders need to build and empower youth entrepreneurs. The issue of job centres with an online option would enhance the job search and security of the youth. That is to say, the government should establish job centres on campuses....

Women should have equal access to sport regardless of the success of the program. Furthermore, Title IX is a federal program which ensures that women have equal access to sport. According to the Women’s Sport Foundation (2017), “Title IX is an important federal civil rights act that guarantees that our daughters and sons are treated in a like manner with regard to all educational programs and activities, including sports. ” The law clearly mandates that women should have equal access to sport and institutions can be penalized for failure to comply. Additionally, women should have access to sport regardless of availability of women’s programs whereas their ability is superior to that of their male counterparts.
As a child growing up, I did not have access to all sport which I was interested. At the time of my youth, I excelled in baseball. I played in a youth boys baseball league because girl’s baseball and softball were not available in my community. Although I was a girl playing a “boys” game, I annually made the all-star team as the league’s best second baseman. I travelled with the team to all-star tournaments with my male counterparts and represented our community well. Because my sport of preference was not available in a girl’s program, I opted to play in a boy’s league in which I excelled. All women should have this same opportunity based on their interests and ability.
In the instance where women do not have access to the sport of their specific interest or ability, women should be allowed to participate in a man’s league. When a female demonstrates equal or superior skill, she should be allowed to participate in the league if a female program is not available. Football is an example where female athletes do not have equal access to sport. However, Toni Harris did not let the challenges of unavailability for women to play football. She pursued her interest and is the first female to receive a college scholarship in football as a safety (Caron, 2019). Her access to football was a challenge, but she overcame that obstacle to set a precedence for women in football.
