The text discusses the importance of appreciating and preserving Nigerian arts and culture, particularly in the context of the country's colonial history. The Afro-Art Gallery at Castle Down, Victoria Island was established to repatriate stolen symbols of Nigeria, and the gallery has organized shows, workshops, and exhibitions with support from Germany, Holland, and France. However, the text also highlights the need for Nigerians to wake up and start appreciating their own arts and culture, which have been abandoned for ages. The author argues that neglecting the youth and treating them with disdain can lead to a culture of violence and that the society needs to be built around the youth. The text also touches on the normalcy of neglecting the youth in Nigeria's political landscape and the need for a people-oriented constitution.
