Abstract
Before the year 1990 and up to the late 1990s, Nigeria was ravaged by what was known then as “Advanced Free Fraud” christened (419) and “Trades of Narcotic Drugs”. After more than two decades, a new set of unholy practices have found its way into the fabric of the society and have consistently proven to be worse than the duo of “419” and “trades of narcotic drugs”. This set of practices though not narrowed to the youths but majorly driven and made to flourish by the attendant number of youths who are in haste not only to make a living but flamboyant, thriftless and profligate lives detrimental to norms, values and society itself. Premised on the danger they herald for the society, the paper appraised the numerous unholy practices rampant among youths in Nigeria and their impacts on the society. Exploratory method was made use of; secondary source was employed and inferences were drawn via qualitative analysis. Findings revealed that exponential decadence among youths is directly proportional to the culture of prostitution, regime of internet fraud (yahoo-yahoo), kidnapping for ransom, social revolution of gambling etcetera. The paper concludes that unholy practices among youths have constituted a nuisance in no small measure to the society. The paper however advocates that the government at all levels should up their game in training youths in the vocation that would make them engage and reduce the surge in such practices in the society.
