I am not saying that the social welfare scheme is a bad establishment, but it has given a lot of irish people - youths as far as I’ve seen- an opportunity to be lazy and not take responsibility for their lives.
In my home country - Nigeria- where the population of one county is outnumbers that of the whole of Ireland, there is no such thing as social welfare neither is there medical cards and all other freebies we have in this country.
In Nigeria, we create jobs for ourselves, by ourselves. Though that is supposed to be a shameful thing for the Nigerian government, it has given us that drive, that strength and initiative to survive without help. If you need water in Nigeria, you dig a well; if you need constant power supply; you buy a generator. With your own money.
Most Nigerians are self employed, that is the only way to survive, That was/is the way our parents could sponsor our education.
I think the Irish should think of other ways to survive and live other than draining the government’s purse. Yes, they are entitled to welfare, but money, no matter how much it is, will run out. It comes and goes- we all know that looking at the boom years from now.
Even that way, the youths will all grow to be innovative leaders in the future.
