During the youth empowerment scheme and scholarship award organised by Barr Sam Otobeze foundation at ochima in Igbo Etiti LGA. Enugu state.  The President of the foundation  Barr Sam Otobeze explained that when youths are occupied with profitable business ventures, they won’t have time to commit crime.    According to him youths are vulnerable unless they build their personal security through human empowerment.    “ The moment you start thinking and projecting your business. You won’t have time for crime. Youths should reduce agitations. They should think inwards. Everyone has potential to become unique and successfull. Let’s not look for cheap means and crime. Any way they can use their head, use their hands, there are lots of opportunities, but we are not patient enough to look deep and discover them. Instead looking for quick fix, where is the money.                                No, life is not like that. They should come down, bend down, look for opportunities within their area.
