and minimal.
With

Peace, Progress, and Development: Just think about the implications in terms of
peace and reduction in crimes rate if most of the active youths are trained and
properly engaged as freelancers and authors working online. Definitely, society and our
streets shall be freed of violent crimes, hooliganism, and restiveness due to
idleness, unemployment, and a high level of poverty.
Let
us therefore engage and occupy the minds and hands of our young people and the
devil will have no workshop to occupy and operate from.
I
will therefore prescribe and recommend freelancing and digital publishing skill training and trading as one of the foremost remedies against youth’s restiveness, militancy,
insurgencies, and violent crimes in our world today.
Online writing and publishing freelancing, I recommend should not only be taught from secondary schools but
should be properly structured by the Federal, State, and Local Governments
with specific bodies and agencies assigned to properly see to its compliance with all international standards. As a matter of fact, no student from our higher
institutions should be allowed to pass out without a thorough understanding and
practical online writing and freelancing for career, advancement, Jobs, and wealth creation.
10. Government
Revenues: Online publishing, consultancy, and Freelance working could attract direct foreign
revenues as taxes payable to the government from earnings. Imagine that in a
country like Nigeria, we have maybe, Ten Million steady online publishers and freelance workers who
earn income and pay just 2 Dollars per week as taxes to the coffer of the
Federal Government, that could amount to:
$ 2 x 10,000,000-
Ten Million naira per week
And for a month
of 4 weeks, the government could realize above that over and over again and
again.
So why not the government take much
more interest to develop the internet and telecom technology sector to
harness this great economic boom?
(11) Sustainability:
As a trained and experienced online writer and worker, the sky is your limit. There is
ever-expanding demand for books and online digital jobs and digital workers are
always engaged. As such, there are no such things as recession, sack letters, or
deadlines to meet up with. Is that not really wonderful!
