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." Nonsense trash, try and make sense next time you post |
