Amazingly, the controversial pint sized former minister of the FCT and now chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Malam Nasir Elrufai, has accused Nigerian youths of being lazy and quick to judge.

Elrufai made the accusation today on the Social networking site, Twitter (see twits below)


Elrufai was apparently reacting to the youths who regularly accuse him of corruption and high handedness when he was in office. Elrufai is currently facing a corruption charge at an Abuja court bordering on the lands he seized from legitimate owners and reallocated to friends and his wives and Underaged son.

Amazingly the same Elrufai who is so sensitive to criticism regularly insults the person of the President of Nigeria on his facebook and twitter profile, using foul words to describe President Jonathan.

It may be recalled that Elrufai had asked Nigerians not to vote for Muhammadu Buhari in October of 2010 alleging that Buhari was too old to be president and that he was primordial having chosen his military vice, Tunde Idiagbon, from the same region (North) as himself. However, just two months after making that statement, Elrufai became one of Buhari's chief campaigners asking Nigerians to vote for the man he had condemned only weeks ago!

I guess his real sense of judgement has been demolished long ago! mallam

My signature says it all

There is an element of truth in what the mallam is saying. Most youths only read to pass exams.

He's right. Most people on NL post all sorts of claims and assertions about Nigeria etc, but you will rarely see them post a corresponding link to their research sources.

I don't know which is funnier. The fact that he's always referred to as pint-sized or the fact that he made the announcement on Twitter, fully aware that many of those who follow him are lazy youths who get all their news from Twitter, rather than taking things from the site with a grain of salt and doing their own research before coming to conclusions.

Am sure El-rufai is talking to the OP - this article shows a youth that is too lazy to read and reflect - you are one example of a youth too lazy to think. Mscheew!

Useless man with blockhead. You are an expired drug

So true,then later they become musicians

Stupid man talking. Are Nigerians not one of the most hard working people around.WTF is wrong with this bastards who steal money and believe everybody is below them?

And if Naija youths are lazy and dont want to read....aren't u part of the systemic failure....u and ur pals frustrated these poor youths to the point that going to school is like a waste to them....all of them wan become singer (Wizkd, D'Banj) or politician....na wa ooo

God punish El-Rufai. Amen.

Hw wil this affect †ђξ price of.....................

Granted, there are vestiges of truth in what he said. It's just that the man's image has been somewhat sullied and besmirched

So what does he want me to do? I should go back to Nursery school abi I should go and hug that hungry Lion at Benue Zoo?

Rantings of a delusional desperate aboki that is descending into irrelevance by the day. A desperate struggle to remain afloat.

Their is an element of truth in what d mallam said...

EPITOME OF COURAGE

Naa, I wanted Ť☺ say garry cahil of chelsea, he was crying after their loss on tuesday 9t

You are wrong sir.

Lazy is an understatement.
They are DEAD intellectually.


In my house I have about 500 Audio CDs and over 1,300 Books (All Original).

I noticed that while my books worth 100 times the price of the Compact disc, People pay more interest in "borrowing" or "fapping" them more than even the Best of the life changing books.

God bless the soul of that woman who said "if you want to hide anything from a Black man, put it in a book". She is damn so correct.


Why are people insulting El-Rufai for saying the truth? Even though me and the mumu no dey gree for twitter (I go soon block am sef). But he is saying the whole truth.

I encouraged some youths 2years back to feel free to come over during weekends to come turn by crib into a "library club", omo, them no gree oh! Instead it was always "brother Acidtalk, please borrow me your Jay Z cd. Or Bros, do you have have the latest Cold Play album?".

El-Rufai, abi na Peter Rufai, amu gi thr. . . Ur statement is FALLACY . . . & we musn't wear medicated lenses glasses b4 u realise dat . . . Guess dat ur antiseptic readn glasses needs 2 b bleached . . . I knw guys u read lik WTF, dis man z 2 analogue 4 ma likn. O gini di

Na el rufai wey small pikin teach how to use twitter dey talk like this so. My happiness be say the man no get level again

UdekeJ: I guess his real sense of judgement has been demolished long ago! mallam

[size=28pt]Majority of Nigerian youths are indeed lazy and don't read.
They are more famous for their mass failures.[/size]

[color=#006600][/color]why are you people bashing dis guy with insult?If u are not among the lazy people he is talking about then you forget about the statement. There is an element of truth in what he said even when it does not apply to every Nigerian youth.Beside if He is mad,must you call him a mad man to remind him of his mental degeneracy?......Incredulous!

Absolutely on point mallam.
How many jobs you work to pay school fees?
How much you pay to pass jamb?
How much you pay to get your first class?
How much you pay to get your first job?

Its your cult running the system this youth find themselves in.

I consider this statement too sweeping and hasty in conclusion.

Apparently he has forgotten to mention that, their unholy practices in politics and the bravado in which they loot the national treasury has deprived a lot of Nigerians the ordinary thing called 'HOPE'....Then tell me ,when there is no hope,what is the essence of life and when you don't have a life ,why should one strive to do something extra ordinary to become the bestand if i may ask ,BEST OF WHAT WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE, NO LIFE

Chubhie: There is an element of truth in what the mallam is saying. Most youths only read to pass exams.

When the system is bad what do you do? He siphoned off our cash and took his dead daughter to UK.
