Abstract

This paper investigated the characteristics of the Niger Delta Youths Restiveness and concludes that it is tantamount to national disintegration, rather than national sustainability. The growing and widespread youth restiveness and their involvement in violent crimes in recent times have become a matter of great concern for those genuinely interested in the unity and sustainability of his country. This is more so that the youths represent the collective aspirations of this country for a better tomorrow. Therefore, their involvement in all forms of violence and crime pose a great threat to the survival of the country. This paper closely looked at the causes, forms and Implication of Violent Youth Behavior for National Unity and Sustainability. The paper also recommends that the educational system be reviewed to lay more emphasis on the acquisition of manipulative skills for gainful self-employment as well as the creation of more employment opportunities for the youths.
