Abstract

The objective of the paper is to discuss how entrepreneurial thinking can contribute to curb youth restiveness in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Methodologically, the sources of data collection for the paper are secondary mainly based on qualitative content and documentary analysis with few quantitative contents. The research design is descriptive. The finding of the paper on the first part shows that the skill requirements for an entrepreneur include people-factor skill, creative skill, politeness skill, appreciation skill, and screw it, just do it skill. The paper on the second part finds out that the Niger Delta youths are passionate about their future and life, and have the desire to work, take risk, and dream big in order to improve their entrepreneurial thinking skills. One of the recommendations of the paper is that the Niger Delta youths should beyond the desire to be empowered academically and entrepreneurially, begin to engage their mind critically; thinking how best to make best use of the empowerments they have received so far. The paper concludes that every entrepreneur is businessman but not all businessmen are entrepreneurs, and it takes bringing a new idea into an already existing business to have entrepreneurship.
