Man2utd:


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.

and they join stoopid council that doesn't fight for their participation in engineering projects

Buhari himself was sick and went to seek for medical help abroad, that's because he doesn't trust the Nigerian doctors.

cos they are incompetent (they shud ground the govt until proper equipment is provided but they prefer to form doctor with six figure salary until their eye clear that the salary is peanuts)
now nobody send dem

The issue of research, a sensible government will give research grant

why,there is oil money so no need for research

, to encourage people to engage in research

what have we gained from the research

or how do you expect a hungry person to think.

he is not properly hungry,trust me

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

I don't understand his definition of laziness.. The same youths that brought him into office, this same youths that are hitting the highest cgpa in the ivy league schools, the same youths hawking in traffic, the same youths breaking several records all around the world.. Bubu should think again

mikolo80:
desperation(doing hard work cos no choice)is not same as working hard

Listen to yourself. If you had someone in that condition who is willing to go to that length to irk out a living then it tells more of the rest of the populace. And I have seen more of that same picture in real life. you really gat some nerve trying to spin this.

i dont think You understand what's called enabling environment. No creativity can come out where the environment doesnt allow its flow. China, Indonesia and the likes are a good example.

what did they do
it was 18 farmers who started the chnge on pain of death.

A country can't flourish where theres insecurity

israel

n other political n economical ill-factors like high interest rate,

also insane profits

poor educational system.

nothing wrong with our educational system,its the ppl that are bad

Pls back ur point by listing out inventors who came from terrible countries like Nigeria wivout any wealthy or influencial parents.

why are all our wealthy youth all lazy

Baba biko think before you talk.

abi u do same

And mind U i graduated with a 2,1 in Electronic/Computer Engineering buh I am a successful poultry farmer.

so you wasted ur time and nations money in wrong profession(would'tve if you were paying full price)

So think deep before U hit back. There is a model called PESTEL analysis, I learnt while doing ICAN. Pls google it. Its used to scan the Business environment while Analysing a company's strategic position. Maybe U will understand that you dont just start a business cos U r skillfull buh because the environment supports it.

is the environment supporting your poultry?
why aren't youth going into what the environment support instead of going into sexy sounding courses that are useless to the nation at this time

So sir Govt policies e.g fiscal policy, monetary policy, supply side policy, education policies n the likes av massive effect on a nation's economy.

yet we challenge govt sports policy or ponmo policy or spraying policy but never fiscal policy,i see.please check definition of laziness

Wonder how you didnt even see Voting an Illiterate who doesnt even know how to spell Macroeconomics as a problem but fast to judge the Nigerian youths.

what do you know about political science
so we shud not vote you
costitution and 15 million voters beleive he is qualified

You against Nollywood, US economy is saved by the entertainment and sports industry presently cos China have taken over, hence why Trump is head-on against China. Your issue is that you are myopic and condescending

hahahahahahaha
less than 200 billion in 16 trillion economy?do you know the meaning of saving an economy?

Rapsino:
I once recall in Dubai when we did a cleaning job with loading and unloading inclusive, we Africans guys.(5 Nigeria, 2 Cameroon) did the job a day. With no food just to be loyal with our albab to give us visa.
He protected for the non availability of food and he sacked us.
He employed some Pakistan's guys and it's was funny that what took us a day is taking this guys 2 to 3 days. The albab knows we are hardworking and what he did was to stylishly call us back. Nigerians are not lazy. If you are I am not.

you needed visa
you were desperate not hardworking

laziness is of the mind, for the fact that one is working and sweating doesn't mean that one is not lazy. Even if the government assistance is greatly needed, we as an individual have a role to play. We can be better with criticism...

sekem:


You see the mental laziness we're talking about?

Upon your advanced age and your so called educated status, you still don't know it's called Rolls-Royce.

Something a simple Google search would have done for you and save you from this national embarrassment.

Thanks Mr. Know it all; hope you note it was just a satire. God bless you anyway sir.

I still dont get your point, you are neither here nor there. Now you mentioned Israel. What do U knw abt Israel.
You mentioned poultry, everyone can't go into it. And not everyone have the finance or knowledge, I am only priviledged.
You said I wasted my time studyin a useless course? I think I'm getting to see your position. Cos some don't have resources n influential parents, they dont deserve a life. I think I give up on U.

The system makes the youth look lazy no normal human can thrive in hostile environment like we have in Nigeria.

Despite the harsh environment young Nigerians are everywhere hustling from selling pure water and the rest.

[s]Even those that goes in to crime do you think crime is for lazy people?[/s]

The president makes big blunder no sane president puts his people Down in public

Don't pollute your inspiring write-up.

Rapsino:

rusher14:
Some of us know you simply choose to be mischievious.

Did he say ALL youth of Nigeria are lazy?

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.
It is your life, your future. Play it as you wish.

Listen to me my man! Nigerian youths are the most smartest and hardworking people from Africa or the black race.. if you come to the US and see Nigerian youths working everyday with no day off or life whatsoever. All the youth need are opportunity. Set them in motion, provide basic amenities and see the Nigerian youth take off to the highest level.

Mabpaine:
I still dont get your point, you are neither here nor there.

yes i am
what point don't you get

Now you mentioned Israel. What do U knw abt Israel.

google six day war
they are under attack daily by hezbollah and hated by all their neighbors yet they are the most advanced society in their region if not the world via zionism

You mentioned poultry, everyone can't go into it.

yeah they can,its'u who can't think outside the box

And not everyone have the finance or knowledge, I am only priviledged.

yes they do but laziness is their problem
you chose not to be lazy and got the knowledge
they chose to sit and complain

You said I wasted my time studyin a useless course?

no,i said you wasted the country's time

I think I'm getting to see your position. Cos some don't have resources n influential parents, they dont deserve a life.

nobody deserves anything they are not willing to fight for
waiting for oil money tat will never come is not included

I think I give up on U.

same way all youth have given up on nigeria and expect miracle.
imagine if u gave up on your poultry,what wud be the result

Evn Buhari n d llikes were priviledged because the British who were rulin created an enablin environment.

no,they were lucky cos they were born then.it cud've bn u and with this your mentality we will end up the same.laziness

Baba lemme knw ur position. Nofn wrong wiv d education sector,goin on strike is normal abi.

why do we go on strile.have you bothered to do research(mental laziness)

I gave up on U d moment U claimed what makes Buhari right is Population of voters who support him.

i didn't claim he was right(more laziness)
i said that is the qualification to win(read instead of saying wrong thing in blind rage)

U did nt evn say anyfn intellectual abt him.

how can u say som'n about a non intellectual
i don't tell lies,just like him(thats why i prefer him to 16 greater than 19 phd holder)

I av no choice than to believe you have bn paid.

they can't afford me

U castigate others work buh cant defend ur paymaster's work.

see how you lie to yourself
all of a sudden i have paymaster(no proofo,just like that you believe i have paymaster cos i don't agree with self deceit)

Took U seriously cos I tot U r reasonable. Lol! Gave up d moment U believe studyin Engineering or any course at that is unreasonable.

if you are starving who will be important to you,electrician or farmer .sentiment will not help you.
and you claim to give up 3 times in 1 post so no,you did not give up

Buh U nt worth it Baba

chairman mi,its sad to see such passion with no direction.babanla scalar unit at a time we need vectors to move the ntion forward

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

I will vote for atiku anytime any day. Go to Benue and preach this your sermon to them and wait for their reaction!

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?

Who made the people to be involved in all these? Isn't it your so called leaders? Including your almighty buhari. Abeg, first it was 5'% openly showing hatred for people he is suppose to governed, now is 60%. Abeg, defend him no more, for Benue situation allow, he is a failure! Not to talk of the tribalism and nepotism in the country now.

Omooba77:


Thanks Mr. Know it all; hope you note it was just a satire. God bless you anyway sir.

God bless you too, Mr Satire.

rusher14:


I have been to all the states in Nigeria except the North East and over 21 countries worldwide.

I have worked in forests of Benue, Cross River , Nassarawa and stayed in the best of places in the States, UK, South Africa etc.

I have killed scorpions and snakes and been ravaged by sandflies and bees.

I am Ijaw/Itsekiri.

When you achieve half of any of these then maybe we can have a conversation.

You are just an opportunist, anyone can hide behind the computer and brag about been to the moon, that doesn't make it true. most people I know in Ikoyi where I stay are just like you, they brag about this and that, but when you hear their story you will understand their father is either a former senator, governor etc.....freaking opportunist making noise.

Don't brag about where you have been to with this issue at hand, brag about what you have been able to achieve in Nigeria with the harsh condition, tell me the companies you have been able to create and how many Nigerians you have employed.

Just like Ben Bruce reacted to this issue.

but if you can't provide anything to show what you have done to help this country, like some hardworking Nigerian youths I know, then bros pls stop bragging about travelling to the moon and back you are still one of the people PMB was referring to.

Proudlyngwa:

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

Maybe your family members are the lazy ones

somehow:
Watching made more sense, with that you wouldn't need to assume with the "if"

Well, truth is whether i watched it or not, It's still not a cool idea for any President to downgrade the people he's supposed to elevate anywhere in the world. It's our image for crying out loud. It affects all of us whether we like it or not. The young, elderly, male, female, etc.

thebosstrevor:
many nigerian youths are lazy they want fast money and love doing illegals things

i will like to ask why are their many 31 years old still living with their parent,not working and eating free food

if Nigerians youth are not lazy why is the country still stagnate

many nigerian youth prefer n-power 30,000 naira than doing something meaningful with their life,some of them dont show up but expect to collect the money for doing nothing.go to niger delta,you will see lot of youths collecting money from government and doing nothing.when everything goes wrong in their lives they blame the Nigerian government.

you are a fool

https:///ReJpCZsSiN

Join if you are in the age bracket that the president called lazy. Tell us how lazy you are and lets see how many lazy youth with PVC Nigeria has. #LazyNigerianYouths

rusher14:


The elections are not to far away. Vote him out and get your preferred candidate that would shy from the truth, keep the status quo and everyone is happy.

you are too sentimental in your judgement, I don't know why you never criticize baba even when he goes wrong.. Baba goofed big time, most Nigerians youths are going through tough times just to feed and you call them lazy? You seem to be a paid agent

somehow:
Why not you and i?

What can we do? I am ready.

what a pity.... Mr President just shot himself in the leg.

Wrong response to a simple question, I guess he is just not brilliant enough to give the answer differently.

Pls don't blame him, he is just mentally lazy and Nigerians voted in a half-baked man(educationally) as President, what do you expect.

...

FroshPapie:

1. I ll never address my youths as lazy
Diversify the economy, Almighty Oau was built with cocoa money...most we major on only crude oil??..
Moreover b4 I would contest for the post of president ,I ll have possible solutions to this problems Buhari is just clueless ...
He promised heaven and earth remember CHANGE...He has no excuse because he presented himself as saint/God sent

You haven’t said anything yet o..... yes Buhari is clueless. As you aren’t what possible solutions do you have?

You asked whether we can’t prodice cocoa. The average Nigerian that wants results now now, can you wait for cocoa plantations to mature and bear fruit? The rice that the government is investing in, aren’t majority of you complaining that the govt banned the importation of rice? If you don’t stop the competition how will your home grown survive? But you aren’t patient enough or willing to sacrifice enough to wait for anything to bear fruit. You just want everything solved yesterday yet you have no suggestions or solutions.

First get those around you interested in politics, let them know the power they possess as an electorate.
