Demographic Dividend Versus Demographic Disaster

This book provides a widely useful compilation of ideas, cases, innovative approaches, and practical strategies for a contextualized youth ministry in Nigeria. By taking a new contextualized expression of youth ministry in Nigeria, Danladi Oscar identifies a substantial approach of theologically engaging youth and youth ministry from a biblical foundation. This work would be an important resource if it only highlighted the ways churches and youth workers could enrich their ministry to and with young people. But the book goes well beyond just making us aware of what is happening in the youth world in Nigerian setting. It covers and describes all the major factors in building successful contextualized engagement with young people from all dimensions. This book is an important resource for churches, schools, youth workers, NGOs and everyone working with young people at various levels. First, it provides a new contextual analysis of Nigeria from a youth ministry perspective. Second, the book provides a relevant and constructive set of strategies and ideas for shaping an alternate generation.
