You know how quick and easy to cook indomie?5 minutes it's done unlike u cooking beans that it takes time.it is just about this generation that wants things to be done in haste not ready to pass through the process in time.indomie is fast to cook but can't last you long beans will take time but can hold your belly for longer time.the simple lesson is what takes time has a better worth and value placed on it

That's a term created by the self-righteous, self-important and incredibly arrogant older generation who grew up in the 60s-80s/very early 90s and are still stuck in their era and think that modern music, clothes and trends are shït. They are always caught saying "back in the days when the times were good" or "back when the society was still sane", they hate social media, teenagers, pop culture and they feel like they are better than everyone else. They can't accept the fact their generation is becoming irrelevant, they refuse to retire and pass the torch to the succeeding generations. They are self-conscious and insecure about their own advancing age, so they address 20 -somethings and teens as children in order to feel "young". They feel like because they played with sand as opposed to iPhones and tabs while growing up, they have higher intellectual capacities or something but that's BS. They are a hypocritical and arrogant generation that tries to discredit younger generations and tags them as lazy, dumb etc etc but it really ain't our fault that we are little privileged unicorns wink They feel they are better than everyone else because they played with certain toys, listened to certain music, lived a certain way of life and had certain experiences which thankfully cannot be recreated in modern times

I have (always) noticed this trend of being called indomie generation when one is (totally) clueless on some “historical” subject.

I like to think I am old enough to be old, yet I still have some friends and colleagues calling me Indomie generation. undecided




Suffice to say, Indomie is 31YEARS OLD IN NIGERIA.


So, what exactly makes one an indomie generation?

If you didn't buy Rice, baba dudu aya, likiliki, kulikuli, condest ice cream for #1 or if you didn't play dundus selopito (dubedube), Para, I like your thing, maunting, kebe, war scatter, monkey post, 4 post, opio, slepo, bombing, shooting, Okada etc you're indomie Generation �

You must certainly be an "Indomie generation". Anyone who is NOT an Indomie generation know that there was an unprecedented change in the Nigerian society from the 90s. If you were not at least 5years old by then, you CANNOT know.

Did your parent lock the TV with keys for you?
Did NTA and other TV station open at 4pm and close by 12am?
Do you know Frank Olize.
Have you ever witnessed the acrobatic riders that followed military government entourage?
Do you know how military coups have been done in Nigeria?
Have you ever witnessed a firing squad in operation?
Have you ever operated a coin operated phone in Nigeria (at NITEL or Post Office)?

Indomie generation is used to describe those who didn't know these but are loud mouthed in giving myopic comments about National affairs that has to do with history.

It has nothing to do with lack of intelligence (for isn't a function of age)

How TF is any of the emboldened our fault we were just little pikins when the society turned to filth- heck some of us weren't even born and if anyone is to be blamed, it has to be y'all hypocritical and dirty older generation. Simply put, your greed, avariciousness and wickedness made the society what is is today. Look at all our so called leaders, all old generation people. You all turned the society to mush and somehow find a way to blame it on us- very interesting indeed. you corrupted the society, it's high time you take responsibility for your actions and inactions.
we have every right to give our opinion on political issues after all, you people fuckëd everything up in the first place
so because we didn't witness coups, go to post offices or other dumb shi2t you mentioned, we are not entitled to have a voice? lmaoooooo. you Generation Y people need to get your self absorbed heads out of your damned asses. times have changed, new trends are coming up which would become obsolete in the next 10-15 years and I sure as hell wont become a whiny, bitter income generation adult whining about the younger generation lmaooo

Kids born in year 2000 till date.... They are just using it as a slang to differentiate between people born in 1980s and 1990s from 2000s kids,Although indomie has been around for over 3 decades,but it became very popular among the children born from 1999 till date,kids born in 2000s really love it to the extent that,they prefer it than feeder.

Then those children born arround 1980s are "Blue Band" Generations

Yea, it debuted in 1988 but it didn’t catch on till the 90s. By the mid 90s, Nigerian parents were feeding their kids indomie. The Indomie generation upper limit should be about 20-22y so basically generation Z depending on which stat you use.

The Indomie generation have little to no reference pre 2000s. Nigeria and the world changed a lot after the 90s. I think most older generation Nigerians feel some topics need a good pre 2000s knowledge. E.g. Indomie generation don’t know a Nigeria under the military rule, can’t remember Nigeria without the internet, cell phones, writing and posting letters etc.

Also, it’s just the typical generational war. Previous generations always bash their successors. For instance, on a global scale millennials are being shit on constantly by previous generations.

Your analysis is the sweetest thing.

Actually when people refer to any individual as an indomie generation,it means the person is young,naieve and ignorant of WHAT HE SHOULD KNOW OR IS EXPECTED TO KNOW

You know how millennials are.young,dumb, entitled,lazy yet they always think they're smarter than king Solomon.those are what characterize indomie generation


Then again you know indomie is just 2 minutes?,they want to do/have everything fast without taking the patience to go through the process and learn

Bottom line sha is that anyone that has childish behaviour or displays little knowledge of history and it shows is what they call indomie generation.for example if I am discussing with a friend and I say I enjoy the music syncro system and millennials interject and say who sang syncro system or who sang redemption song, or doesn't know that once upon a time in Nigerian history MTN SIM or mobile phones were only used by the eli
