We the youths did not in anyway contribute to the total annihilation of Nigeria's economy.

Buhari and his old goons should fix what they have destroyed and stop tagging the innocent youth who have never had a thing from the government.


You won't appoint the youth to help fix the economy with fresh ideas but they will be the first u call on to help fix, maybe help fix it from their father's houses where they are sitting jobless.

Bros which state is your business located?

“You are the new batteries to power the engine of growth of our country. Your choices must be clear, free from fear, not reckless but driven by analytical thought, questioning and probing and ultimately determined by convictions."

Praising them as the new batteries isn't enough Mr dishonorable minister..

Empower them to put those skills you mentioned above to work and you'll see Nigeria will be great again

A lot of Nigerian youths are entrepreneurial and with passion to succeed but unfortunately our Nigerian state will kill any dream.
I decided to go into pure water production, no bank agreed to give me loan. Even BOI would see my track record before they would consider giving me. What track record? I am just starting. I rallied and got fund from friends and family. Now I have started but in 3 weeks, I have seen PHCN light just twice in that area and the power could not carry my reverse osmosis machine. So day in day out I run on diesel. You may want to know that diesel now sells from 195 to 205. I am unable to buy a truck no to take my water to market because of fund 2m. No bank again has agreed to give me, so I use my small car to hawk. I work as factory labor, I sell, I do everything to survive. I am determined to succeed but from my story you will all see that the government is nowhere to be found. I am waiting. Soon they will come for all sort of tax, fees and dues.
How will youths survive in this country? Prayer gives us solace, prayer gives u hope and the strength to move on. Now u want to take that from us?
Just like he has said (fasola), talking won't bring us out of recession either.

The kind of news these days and the title the reporter deems fit to give it.
So after reading the speech he gave and the the topic the reporter gave it.
The average Nigerian reads out of context, they just want a shocking headline to move traffic. The summary is, he said we all should look inward to get us out of recession, not out usual praying and fasting without working efficiently.
Can we all read more so we be misled less.

The truth is very difficult to take in. The electricity we are talking is it not one person that thought of it and decided to do something. It only on Africa you see engineers in the street looking for jobs can't make anything with all the knowledge he has.

Look around us rivers and sun wasting away we are still looking for opportunities when it is all around you. The minister is saying the truth abeg use shame understand what he is trying to say, useless people can take sense sometimes.

I'm sure you didn't read the brilliant and clear headed advice FASHOLA gave these fresh graduands. Small kids littering everywhere On Nairaland smh

247frolicboss:
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, SAN, has stressed the need for Nigeria to develop its own plan capable of effectively addressing the current economic downturn.


Fashola, who spoke while delivering a lecture on “Freedom from Fear, Choices before the New Generation” to mark the 42nd convocation of the University of Benin, Edo State, said that Nigerians must overcome their fears and use their natural resources to create solutions and improve their lives.

While addressing the graduating students, he said, “We will not pray our way out of recession; we will plan and produce our way back to prosperity and out of recession and you are the freshest, youngest and most energetic workforce we will have to work with.

“You are the new batteries to power the engine of growth of our country. Your choices must be clear, free from fear, not reckless but driven by analytical thought, questioning and probing and ultimately determined by convictions.”

According to him, young Nigerians must, like their counterparts in developed countries, free their minds from fear, rather than depend solely on spiritual answers to the problems.
