Abstract
Development is part and parcel of the dearest gadgetry all humans hotly smoke after – be it individually oy collectively. But in our frenzy run for achieving such a dream, people more than often seem blurred with some materialistic sense, gravely paying much less attention to themselves as multi-facetted factors or genius-blessed agents. Building on a trans-disciplinary methodological plinth made up of tools from miscellaneous horizons, chiefly sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and pragma-linguistics, the current study is meant to reveal the force of education, morality and self-confidence as developmental impetuses as are pinpointed by Ben Carson in You Have a Brain. The double-barrelled interest lurking in the study is to typically help African youth to get aware of their own in-built potentials of self-achievement so as to alleviate the depressing burden of joblessness and related sufferings, and to ignite in them as well the requisite courage to venture themselves on entrepreneurship.
