These people can come and say Nigerians are lazy but they can celebrate Anthony Joshua. Ask me what would have become of him if he grew up in Nigeria. Give Nigerian youths a good environment and see what we can do.
Anyway how can the president know what Nigerian youths go thru when he has not traveled on the street of Lagos

Buhari was addressing a global audience

SternProphet:


SIP is nothing?.Anchor Borrowers is nothing?. N-Power is nothing?. Paying salary arrears for state Govts is nothing?. Ordinary CBN has three types of entrepreneurship schemes running for youths .
I said it before, Atiku is going tell you that youths are hard working and they will get things for free. Please vote for him. Buhari was addressing himself to Northern youths but 50% of southern youths are the same. I have some in my house

rusher14:


It takes 2 to tango.

The environment is hostile because the people are hostile. This includes the youth.

Nigerians love to extricate themselves from all the ills of their society.

If Nigeria is bad and it is not you giving or receiving bribe, it is not you involved in exam malpractice, it is not you who is involved in Yahoo or prostitution or drug abuse, then tell me who is?

Are those viles you mentioned peculiar just to the Nigerian youth? There's no prostitution, drug abuse and other societal viles outside the shores of this country?

How can you even try to rationalize such a blatant and brazen blasphemy against the Nigerian youth? I can forgive him if the only youths he comes across in his life are the Northern youths which fits perfectly into what he describes, but to generalize the entire Nigerian youth into such a sick statement is a blasphemy.

Let us even deliberate on the education part. Statistics from JAMB shows that over 6mil youths applied to write UME this year out of which there are only 300,00 spaces for them. A horde of uneducated youths will not be seeking admission into higher institution.

There is no basis to try and rationalize his statement; none at all.

global audience, but the message is to Nigeria yoot, not to idiotic pigs of Biafra.

But idiotic pigs of Biafra will not disappoint to hate buhari for saying the obvious truth

rusher14:


I have probably been to over 21 countries. So telling me to go abroad to see how things function is misguided.

I have studied the Nigerian character and I mean the typical, we are averse to truth.

Yes, many have a daring spirit but much more think the nation is wealthy and they have been shortchanged down the wealth chain.

Truly, they have been shortchanged but they have not been given their aliquot share of the little.

Presently, the man you love to hate is the one doing everything to change the narrative but deep down their is a prejudice that many of you have such that any suggestion he makes is followed by resistance.

Funny it is the likes of Fayose and Atiku that you look up to.

I dey laugh.

I understand now so you write all this to justify the president statement on Nigeria is lazy

And you think supporting politicians when they are wrong is creative

Besides semantics, I put it to you, the Nigerian youth do not display enough creativity.

How much research, patents, world class artistic work would you find in our institutions?
Let me guess..that's government's fault.

Ok let's go to the number of our young people who have access to the internet. How many are involved in programming, animation, international research syndicates?

Let me guess...that's the government's fault.

Here on Nairaland, start a topic with a misleading headline and wait to find how many would spot the disconnect between the headline and the body of the message.

Let me guess... it's the government's fault.

The youth of Nigeria are lacking in creativity and please don't give me Nollywood and Afro music. It can take only a few entrants.

We need people who want to create and constantly think of solutions.

We need people who channel their energy positively and not in cult activities, Yahoo or drug use.

Talking about drugs, this poor nation is experiencing a new wave of drug abuse...tramadol, codeine, skunk etc.
That's what the nation is about.

Many Nigerians are of the misconception that the country is rich but the reality is that we aren't.

Yes we have the potential to be wealthy, but we are a poor nation in every way, shape or form.

It is your choice to accept the criticism.

You can go renegade and discount it.

An astute post, I salute you.

It’s refreshing to see this rare level of high intelligence on this forum.

we re not lazy

Not at all
Nigerian youths aren't lazy at all..
At all

Don't misquote Mr President he was referring to Yusuf Buhari and not all Nigerian youths.

You tell me

Omooba77:


Slaves love slavery, God bless you sir

this is what we are talking about, our youth are lazy, most of them still rigmarole in the street, thinking of one crime and another they want to engage themselves.
Instead of to be doing something, they want to make it big overnight without working for it .


Insulting buhari every minutes for not given them free money like before.

Maybe the message is for Niger delta militant and idiotic pigs of Biafra

I am a Nigerian youth, i am not lazy. speak for yourself.

Larryslim:

Mr man 80 percent of Nigerian youths are lazy, the society is a true reflection of Buhari's statement

Oh my God.. maybe this is the youth buhari was referring to.

A hopeless statement. Nothing works in Nigeria. Is that also the fault of the Youth. When graduates will come out no job, no light, no health care system, nothing virtually works in Nigeria. Why wont the stupid man say so. What has he put in place for the Youth. Youth will struggle and struggle and die as a Youth, while the fools of 70s keep holding positions of authority tight. So tell me the avenue for the Youth to work and exhibit their potentials. Why do the Nigerian Youths succeed and shine immediately they step out of the shore of this country. Stupid statement from a hopeless entity.

This fools keeps disgracing Nigerians at any slighted opportunity he has. His son that crashed with almost 5million naira power bike, where is he working and how much is his salary per month, if actually he is engaged in any meaningful work. Lazy fools.

You made a few points sir, but everyone cannot become programmers, I'm into programming even though I didn't study computer science in school, not because I didn't want to but admission issues and pressure made me look elsewhere cos time was going, I learnt all I know in web development today through online tutorials and videos.

What I'm driving at is Nigerian Youths (majority as said by the president) aren't lazy, it's circumstances that made some of us result to vices et al.

What we need are very few highly innovative minds to help improve our current status as a country and our educational system has a major role to play in that aspect. Not everyone will be like some of us that self educate ourselves.

Quality education is very paramount to development of any nation and sadly we lack that here. The youths can do very little in reforming the education sector.

What is this one saying?

I was with you and your position till you decided to engage that nitwit.

This is a nitwit who decided to defend RCCG with the dullest excuse about land belonging to RCCG.


Please no harm meant but I think you won't get anywhere jaw-jacking with that fellow.


Please stick to your position. You have very valid points. Please learn to avoid people who won't use metrics and facts to argue, instead base their positions on sentiments. If Nigerian youths were as creative as some of these people say they are, we would obviously see a huge difference.

Please you are to smart to get involved with lazy people like the guy you are engaging.

To slap you dey hungry me.

Your creativity will die with you in an environment that's not enabling. Basic amenities should be in place for a youth to function properly. How do you research without a functioning library, no labs, electricity or security?

Buhari said we are waiting for free money and food because we are oil producing country...... How true is this?

Do you wait for PHCN or you just forget about them and buy fuel for your gen?

I have never seen anyone the government feed freely unless you are in jail but then you have to work in jail to eat from the govt.

Does the govt provide you medical care freely? Do you expect them to?

In fact I can list thousands. I challenge you to list just one thing Nigerian Govt is providing its citizens........just one thing.

As much as I want to agree with you on the points stated above, the government also has a major role to play, I have always stated this point and I will state it once again, how many of our roads and bridges are constructed by Nigerians, and we graduate thousands of civil engineers every year. Buhari himself was sick and went to seek for medical help abroad, that's because he doesn't trust the Nigerian doctors. The issue of research, a sensible government will give research grant, to encourage people to engage in research or how do you expect a hungry person to think.

No we are not lazy.

You are a buffon. You can only write English but don't understand it. Ode omo

Don't even think you have a point. Your argument is baseless, stupid, empty, and wayward.

How many research institutions do you have in Nigeria

How many tech ecosystem do you have in Nigeria

How many students are on scholarships

Look at the government owned primary and secondary schools, count how many of them work.

We graduate engineers, chemist's, doctors, pharmacist to mention a few every year do they get employed.

We are oil producing country, but how many of our refineries are functional

I can't continue to mention things, a degenerated fool, sycophant, miscreant like you will continue to support a fail system. If you are not an slowpoke you would have know the negative picture Nigerian youth will have after that statement by your useless and incompetent president.

I can continue to rain curses on you but it does not change the fact and the negative opinion you have about yourself. I believe that you are not productive and will likely oppose any move to be creative or innovative. People like you waste no time to sell their rights off for a token that won't put food on your table or save a life.

Finally, I believe in Nigeria and the youths of this great Nation.
