Our expectations from the male child is killing them gradually, a man without money is not just a problem to others, but to himself.
when I see young men engaging into things they ought not to due to lack of money, my heart bleeds.
Our society today have made the male child without money useless, and that have push them to their early grave and most of them engaging into criminal or fraudulent activities just to make a living which have brought them to their untimely end.
I am a proud African, I know how blessed we are with different mineral resources but our government is not helping matters by providing good jobs.
We should stop putting too much pressure on the male child, because they also feel pain.
The male child without money is not useless, they also deserve to live without being pressured!
I don't think it happens in other European countries but only in Africa and is really disturbing to see a young man who's trying his best to do something for himself and all he'll get is bad watering mouth not only from friends but from the family members. I don't think the government have anything to do with this issue from the start but the parents are the first to blame, they just have this mentality that a male child must be at the top like others but they forget that everybody have their own time to be at the top. And the government should be the second to blame for this because they don't even try to help the situation at hand, like after a male child finishes his education and he's done serving there won't be job and it will look like the child doesn't have a future. If such a thing happens I don't blame some who engage on ritual and other crazy things to make money like the OP said.
