It shall never be well with Buhari
I am still regretting voting for this man in 2015.
What did we get in return ?... INSULTS.

This is my my hubby struggling to meet up with my school fees and Buhari called him a lazy youth ..

God will punish Buhari and his supporters

scopusng:
CNN's Richard Quest said "The youth of Nigeria are the country's secret weapon"
*****
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg said he was impressed by the interest, energy and entrepreneurial spirit that is displayed by young Nigerians
*****
Microsoft's Bill Gates said he sees great potential in Nigeria's youth. Commits over a billion dollars into their future.
*****
Nigeria's President Buhari said "A lot of Nigerian youths haven't been to school; yet, they want everything free.
"Nigerian youths are lazy, do nothing, knows nothing, because of oil money"

famosh:


You're obviously not over the defeat of your hero, the disastrous ineffectual buffoon! Why don't you tell him to contest again in 2019 & see if Nigerians now have a different opinion of him!

adudu208:
The most painful part of this whole careless speech by Mr President is that he comes from a generation that have failed the youth. These same people enjoyed free education, cheap and affordable health care, working industries, numerous job opportunities, security of life and properties and were on scholarship to study both locally and internationally.

Mr President and his fellow geriatric brigades are solely responsible for the rot in the educational, health and economic sector of this country. They have stolen our nation's wealth and sold off our greatest assets for personal gain.

It is unfortunate that a man who has ruled the nation twice has no shame spewing such thrash.

The only lazy man who is waiting for oil revenue to squander is the man who has presided over a nation ones and his currently at the helm of affairs, yet he finds it comfortable sending his kids abroad to study and he is also quick to check himself into a foreign hospital for medical attention.

DamZik:
The worst part of the interview is that Buhari was being asked question on free trade. It has nothing to do with the "laziness of any youth"

AkpaMgbor:
If you all bothered to listen to the anchor’s initial question, you would even be more shocked as to the utter lack of knowledge of the president..the anchor asked him his stands on “free trade” and buhari erroneously started going off on how the youths like to have things for free! that to me is even the major disaster, that a president doesn’t even know what a free trading policy entails! Fvck all you educated academicians and professors who voted for such a man to rule over you all..

lexy2014:
am sure u are also a youth

nero2face:
Rants, Just wait and see millions of Zombies and Afonjas voting massively for buhari come 2019, Nigerians are so divided, Just wait and see, most of us will be surprised with the outcome of 2019 election...as for me, buhari can continue till death do them part, I hate to be part of this country called Nigeria

tsmat:


you are an idiot for making such statement.........they say Buhari is a dullard but you are worse.......you can't even type correct English... mumu pikin.

edupedia:


Stop analysing nonsense... See what is going on in social media where proper analysis has been going on

‬: "We must get real. We have challenges with our youth. As a parent and observer I know that the attributes handed over to my generation of ambition, hard work and "go for it based on capability" are lacking in a lot of youth. Most who are educated believe jobs, cars and accomodation etc should be a sina qua none. Where is the pleasure of achievement? Don't let's because we dislike Buhari overlook the drug menace amongst our youth. The risk of this generation not being better than predecessor generation which is the trajectory of contemporary history is quite high.
We cannot and must not allow our political differences to look at the messenger and not the message. Lest we forget amongst these youth are the ones who did tertiary education in tranches and not straight at once (albeit through no fault of theirs), would this not have an impact?
Now I know the quaint Yoruba proverb that "truth is bitter" to be true.
Ultimately listening to the video clip question and answer the question did Buhari lie can be answered faithfully; no, he did not. But, those who have agenda within agenda (and they have rights to this) spun the whole thing to suit them. And made Buhari appear out of touch and senile.
If we have a million successful youth and 10m that are not, that's risk that must be mitigated one way or another. The sooner the better. And the first step is to admit.
................................................
Point by point analysis of what the President said: using simple True or False mathematical mapping

1. Nigeria has a population of over 180million .......True

2a. Over 60% of which is under 30.......True

2b. 60% of 180 million is 108million.........True

2c. therefore, a lot of Nigerians are under 30...........True

3. A lot of this under 30 have not been to school..............True *as late as 2017, UNESCO put the figure of Nigerian youths out of school as 63million, 63 out of 108 is a lot.

So we can affirm that point 3 is true.

*So, up till here, if you are above 30, the President was not referring to you.........True

*If you are under 30 but you have been to school, the president has not referred to you.............True

4. He continues, ''A lot of the people in 3 above sit down and do nothing, expecting free housing, .......

Here we can contextualise that he meant the drug traffickers and drug addicts, area boys, armed robbers, yahooyahoo boys, kidnappers, pipeline vandals and bonkereres, mace thieves and political thugs, killer herdsmen, boko haram arsonists, almajiris, etc.............True

For goodness sake, if you are none of the categories in 4 above, do you have any reason to fray up.........True or False?

It is better you tell us where you belong so that we can appease to your children."

mmsen:


What would a man such as Buhari know about 'free trade'?

Free trade entails competition - not tariffs and protectionism. How would someone who has benefited from 'Federal character' and ethno-religious bigotry understand the importance of competition?

Paperwhite:
This Buhari speech of infamy will linger for a long time throughout histroy.Infact I must let my children hear about it.Stupid president
