Good.

Responsible response is part of good governance.


The irresponsible mischief makers and intellectually lazy mumus have had their turn.

It is time for real intellectualls to put the president's speech in proper perspective.

It's clear to me from mist of your posts that you are not an intellectual as you went ahead to so willingly claim critics of the uncouth comment made by buhari are not.

You clearly lack real critical thinking skills or you would have realized that this press release by femi was ill thought and poorly timed

There's no spinning this, Al femi should have done was keep quiet and let it blow over but he hastily jumped to issue and poorly thought out response in an effort at damage control which has failed woefuly

Any average individual can pick apart femis response

Where did they get the stats for the so called 60% below age 30 who are lazy ?

Is it a bus conductor who didn't go to school that hustles from morning to night that is lazy ?

Is it the market women who are mtiehrs that hawk from morning till evening that are lazy or Is it the mechanics who work daily come.rain or sunshine?

You are a very irresponsible individual and a coward, why hide your real name behind a moniker like good governance?

Share your real details let us judge whether you fit into the governments quota of hard workers

Buhari is NOT the father of the nation. He is supposed to be the SERVANT of the nation.

[s]

itsdumebi:
Below is a statement signed by the president's media aide, Femi Adesina;

At the Commonwealth Business Forum in London on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari gave a keynote address on Making Business Easier Between Commonwealth Countries. The presentation was followed by a discussion, and question and answer session.

Responding to a question, President Buhari had cause to talk about some Nigerian youths, and he said: " We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. More than 60 per cent of the population is below the age of 30. A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”
Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners. But elementary English recognizes a wide gulf between "a lot of" and the word "all." How can "a lot of them," suddenly transmogrify to mean “all of them?” Mischievous and unconscionable!

There is no way President Buhari, father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths. It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as "irresponsible politics" with everything.

President Buhari has always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms. And he will continue to do so, because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.

Indeed, every country has its share of idle population, and it is the bounden duty of government at all levels, to create an enabling environment for them to actualize their potentials. That is what President Buhari is committed to doing.

The focal areas of the administration; securing the country, reviving the economy, and fighting corruption, are actually intended to give youths a future and a hope. This much was emphasized in an April 5, 2018 comment by President Buhari, while receiving Letter of Credence from the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria, when he said: " Our insistence on probity is to encourage people to be accountable, and accept honesty as a lifestyle so as to secure the future of our youths.’’ The President also said more than 60 percent of Nigerians fall into the age category of youths and deserve to inherit a stable and prosperous country that they can be proud of, adding that the government will work assiduously to prevent waste and the depletion of resources by corrupt Nigerians.

It is futile for mischief makers to lie in wait, and take a minor part of the words of the President, and turn it into negative commentary, peradventure they could diminish the profile of the President. Nigerians across all walks of life know who is serving them faithfully and truly, and they will always reciprocate such fidelity as occasions demand.

Shameless Adesina, defending the indefensible.

Many western countries today have very lazy youth especially in Europe. That is part of the reasons why it is very easy to get jobs in the West cos many of their young people don't want to work, but depend on the government for benefits. Many don't even go to school anymore.
How many times have you heard Theresa May, Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump etc mention that their youth are lazy? Yet some of these lazy youth actually live on benefits esp in the UK and most of Europe.

Now look at Buhari whose country cannot provide jobs for the teeming youth population, coming to insult his fellow citizens on the world stage. Shame!!!

You don't need to explain to them. Don't we have some youth that are lazy. They will tell you it is our oil, they supposed to give us free money. Few years ago, Gov. Dickson complained about some Bayelsa state citizens don't want to work. They gave them slots in ministries, most of them sold the slots to non-Bayelsans. He said, the most hardworking people are not from Bayelsa.
