Mr editor , due to recent Cr's for popular and strong black personalities to step forward in acting as role models for young blacks youths in England and some other countries ,i find it necessary to add my voice to the call.
   
  who should be a role model and why do the black community need a role model ? the easy answer many may think will be 'a role models can act as a catalyst to both young and mature individuals to properly direct and focus their energy in the right direction ,thus resulting in individuals having a bench mark at every stage in their life span' .
   
  We from the African community can easily identify ourselves with lots of famous and noble personalities from our continent but what about our kinds who only knows the west as their home land ?
   
  I write this small incoherent piece to highlight some of the reasons for the breakdown in social order among many black families in the west .
   
  The western media often times debate and discuses the welfare of the trouble disenfranchise youths without involving those same youths they so much wants to change. what strategies are necessary now to attract the attention of these trouble youths ? Can the African intelligentsia help ? Can our learn-ed brothers and sisters contribute in the ongoing debate in the western countries ? to my humble understanding ,this are all legitimate questions need answering .
