Morality is ethics or principles that makes one stand out among multitude and it is a means of assessing an individual's worth in any society. Moral value therefore in our  youth is what cannot be overemphasized in the youths.  Youths of any country today are the leaders of tomorrow, as a result ,there is the need to inculcate good moral in them as the world has been bedeviled with a lot of immorality. Immorality is most common in our youths and if this menace is not curbed,it will further create anarchy in our environments and its inhabitants. The need therefore to inculcate good moral value in our youths is a responsibility of not only the parents but the community as a whole.

          Morality is what people look out for in every youth and every morally upright youth is a source of pride to his parents. Charity they say begins at home, a youth must be properly disciplined from childhood by his parents. The parents of such child have little or nothing to worry about when he becomes a youth.

        Another institution which needs to inculcate moral values in the youth is the community .The upbringing of a child in the African society is the total responsibility of the entire community members. The adults discipline a child with love when she misbehaves. More so , the government as in the Case of Nigeria has discovered that youth without moral value will constitute nuisance to the community.

This we can with the case of terrorism facing our nation in the recent times, thousands of lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

     In addition , religious  groups and non governmental organizations have seen the need to inculcate good moral values in the youth as a result of immorality which has taken over our society. Sermon have been preached and seminars organised to help advise the youth to dissociate themselves from groups which will not add positive values to their lives.

        Principally, the role of the school precisely teachers and guidance and counseling department instilling good moral value in the youth cannot be overlooked. Since youth spend more time at school, they should be properly monitored so that they do not join bad peers. Youths should be properly disciplined by the school authorities and reported to appropriate authorities for rehabilitation if found to have belonged to any such bad group.

       Finally, failure to pay attention to the timing youths has been the Major cause of upheavals in our country. Our youths should be engaged by our government and be made productive. A morally upright youth therefore is an asset to the nation at large.
