This paper analytically explores the missing links between teacher education and social problems also known as social ills. A social problem is a condition which effects large number of people in an adverse manner. It can also be seen as a difficulty of misbehaviour which vast majority wants to correct. Social problem also arises when there is deviation from accepted social norms. These are usually threats to established social norms and therefore, it is necessary to eliminate them as quickly as possible. Elimination of social ills posed challenges to all and sundry including teaching profession. The paper views education in the 21 st century as a dramatic departure from information delivery system of the past. A career in education is rigorous, intellectual and ethical work. Teaching is an opportunity to touch the future and reform society at large. The paper argues that there is need for a new cohort of teacher educators that approach teacher education based on clinical and experiential theories of learning. Teaching at its core is a moral profession, "scratch a good teacher and you will find a moral purpose'. Therefore, teacher education programs must help teaching learners to learn social responsibility and moral purpose that influence them with the tools that will prepare them to engage in productive change. Finally, the paper posits that social ills can be dealt with provided teacher education links initial teacher preparation and continuous teacher development based on social responsibility, moral purpose and attitudinal change with the corresponding restructuring of societal needs and their relationships. The paper recommends elimination of justice discriminatory practice everywhere especially on women, less privileged and minorities in order to create harmony of co-existence and cooperation amongst Nigerians.

“…Various forms of youth restiveness that are economically, politically, or religiously motivated have existed for a long time. Elegbeleye (2005) vividly captures the presence and effects of youth restiveness in Nigeria when he stated that young people all over the world are vital and important segment of the society in which they live. A disciplined, focused, and law abiding youth can create a bright future for any nation.…”

“…According to Ikelegbe, youth ordinarily is a category of early adulthood, emerging in activity and involvement in society but somewhat limited by societal values and some levels of dependency and perhaps agency (Ikelegbe, 2006). Elegbeleye (2005) defined youth restiveness as "a sustained protestation embarked upon to enforce desired outcome from a constituted authority by an organized body of youths." It is marked by violence and disruption of lawful activities.…”

This study examined Curbing Youth Restiveness in Imo State: The Strategic Role of Entrepreneurship Development. The descriptive survey research method was adopted and the study covered a population of 1396 people randomly selected from 20 autonomous communities from the two oil bearing Local Government Areas in Imo state, representatives of community based Non-governmental organizations that are involved in youth capacity development, security experts and scholars of sociology and rural development. Data was generated through a five point likert scale questionnaire from a sample of 311 respondents chosen using the Taro Yamene method. The hypotheses were tested with kruskawalis test (H) with the aid of the 23.0 version of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) based on the 279 questionnaires validly filled and returned. The study concluded that the fight against youth restiveness and indeed all social vices in Imo state in particular and Nigeria at large must be reorganized to adopt proactive and preventive measures through the expansion of the nation's economic space for youth's inclusiveness, especially youths in rural areas whose access to functional and quality education is very limited. This can only be achieved if entrepreneurial development is giving active attention and not mere lip service. Furthermore, a comparative look at the results obtained (i.e EKCD 0.001 and AF 0.002) shows that sharing money to youths without giving them functional entrepreneurial skills does not create the needed sustainable route to curbing restiveness. It was recommended that to curb restiveness, youths empowerment should focus more on entrepreneurial knowledge creation and sharing than sharing of funds without tagging them to productive economic projects, school curriculum should be revised to embrace entrepreneurship development and that attention should be giving to vocational education through the establishment and adequate funding of vocational institutions that equips the youths with contemporary marketable entrepreneurial skills
