These facts should not blamed on the youth but on the government. You provide a platform to encourage the youth. Our education system is rubbish. No matter what report or article you write, the youths condemn it in totality. Antoeni: 1 Like |

Antoeni: There you miss the point of government even though that has been the bane of this administration since inception. It is not enough to identify well known problems which are quality of education and unemployment. The question is what is the government doing or what has the government done to address these problems? The answer? No way near enough! That's why Bill Gates came to whitewash the government on their total lack of commitment to addressing these issues. Instead they are as usual blaming everything and anything except for themselves for their abject failures. |

Heavance: At wat age did ur parents generation start ruling the country ? They were active in politics and leadership at their youthful age the t.y danjuma,ibb,obj, gibson jalo,maman vasta etc participated in one form of activism or the other which led them to leadership roles played even gowon and ojukwu how old were they wen they both led their respective armies. Now the youths we have are internet wariors,yahoo boys,runs girl, bet analysts etc you cant even have a meaningful political discussion with a naija girl because many dont even knw how local government areas is in their state talkmore of other pressing national issues abeg we should agree that there is problem simple 4 Likes |

400billionman: Honestly, I'm loving the nation discussing a very crucial issue like this, even though more of us are hardworking despite being frustrated daily. It's just unfortunate the president who initiated the discuss, called us out on a foreign soil where he was supposed to protect us as a national father. As e7ejinima pointed and I quote: "The elderly in Nigeria should [...] be reminded that they ruined this country with coups, dysfunctional constitution, nepotism, bribery corruption, just name it. The youths are ready to hustle in this destiny-killing contraption of a nation, the handiwork of you the older generation." While the older generation (politicians in particular) are to be blamed, more lies at the doorstep of the parents of such lazy youths. So much damage have been done to the psyche of an average youth (future of the nation) of this country from all angles such that if any healing would take place, it has to start from the family unit (the smallest component of the nation). Conclusively, Government must be ready to wake up parents to their responsibilities while fulfilling theirs (improved economy, increased infrastructure, etc.) as well. Government should not rely on some docile national orientation agencies but directly sponsor responsible NGOs and task force through special ministries to achieve this goal. Though this can't be realized in today's Nigeria. Lol There is a wake-up call for Government, this particular issue is a wake-up call for Parents. 6 Likes |

The truth is always bitter but this man really hit the nail on the head ...take it or leave it. My questions however are as follows:- 1.Are the lazy youths in the minority or majority and who is responsible for measuring this? Answer: Elderly politicians (Laziness). 2. Who are responsible for our youths being lazy? Answer: Elderly politicians (Laziness). 3. Who ran down the economy? Answer: Elderly politicians (Laziness). I could go on and on, the answers would still point back to the elders who are now accusing us being lazy. To we youths, don't know about most but I went through hell at school and home discipline such that I find delegating my personal activities (like laundry, hairdo and other stuff) very difficult. I can't imagine leaving stuff I should be doing myself to the hands of housemaids and nannies yet we claim not to be lazy. An under 30 married couples would have like 4 nannies to take care of the kids at different times of the day and you expect that child not to turn out lazy? I started doing my laundry, doing the dishes, sweeping and other household chores as early as age 5. Who does that now? While in secondary school, I've gone through the cutting of grass as punishment for not having an up to date lesson notes, scoring low in tests and assignments, late coming to school and noise making in class  .....Do kids go through all these nowadays?I basically learnt the difference between 'wants' and 'needs' such that now I weigh both before I think of making any purchases. I still use my broken Infinix Hot2 mobile phone. I've never used an iPhone or Samsung phones but you see people younger than me rocking these devices ....most are not working o! Or those working would have to save like 3 months to buy it making you ask ....why the hassles to get something you cannot afford? People changing phones updandan ...ask your self why the need for change and you discover you only want it because you see others using it. The crave by the youth to satisfy their 'wants' rather than their needs is the cause of several negative issues affecting them today. Having said thus, I sincerely doff my hats for all those enterprising youths out there that are genuinely struggling on their own to make ends meet. Those who run from 5am to 9pm in traffic to eek out a living .....I see you. God will soon send down the signal on how we should assist you guys when we can. Antoeni: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Antoeni: The point of being a president is to make things happen. It's Linda ikeji's job to make announcement. He noted a problem and if you check, he has not tried to solve the issue he is fully aware of. If a mother goes outside and says her child doesn't know how to bathe himself, who's to blame? The mother of course. These politicians are very biased. Supposing Jonathan made this statement, the same people supporting the notion will become youth advocates and even throw rally for immediate impeachment. We in a country where the leaders are so proud of fending for themselves. Now your country said they don't have passport booklet nationwide. I feel this regime is a trap. But GOD Dey! |

e7ejinima: Quite a reply, u gave! Makes a lot of sense! Yet, I seeked higher education admission, with dreams of becoming an activist. I grew up on tales of SUGs standing up to govt n school authorities. Standing up, to correct societal ills. But, what do we have today. Everyone, on a silent hustle. We only, come out in public, to flaunt our wealth n showcase our dysfunction. I thought, d fuel price protest, of d GEJ era, was rebirthing youth activistism. Their generation, generally, stood up, to be counted. Ours, I really can't pinpoint where things went wrong. I no wan die I wan enjoy I just build house.... -Fela People like u n I, have refused, for a very long time, to participate in active politics. E no concern us syndrome  Fear of violence(which PMB is trying to eliminate). Today, I get more cogent replies, in my political discussions with my contemporaries, than when I was younger n had to move with adults to make sense. I had an e-fight, with friends on fb, just this morning. On d benefits of d school feeding program. They were quoting by rote, all d jargons they've read online, no thinking cap, to actually analyse what d govt envisioned, by setting it up. They didn't even have d basics, of what its abt! Yet, they were braying for blood n condemning what they know nothing abt! Armchair political activists, with no imagination!

GavelSlam:this generation is far more hardworking than d buhari and igbokwe generation. D buhari generation got almost everything 4 free. In school, people washed their clothes for them. They had chicken allowance. Most of them preferred staying in school because of d quality of d meals. In their hostels, it was strictly two to a room except final year students that get their own rooms. By d time they finish, there's a Peugeot 504 &a job waiting 4 them yet many of them stlll came out with 2:2. Compare that with d living conditions of Nigerian undergrads in d last 15years to date. Yet u say our youths are lazy cause of ur blind support 4 buhari. Its a pity 1 Like |

dafeyankee: Lol. He make sense?!?! This is a funny write up. Funny the man can’t spell “Kidney”, yet, he has books piled up around him. Meanwhile, he noted that a “research”, what research? The education system is a mess, and it all started when? Who can answer that? I can’t guess this mans age, but I have a professor from the university of Benin, he had this book he used while he was a student from the university of Ibadan. He teaches us with that book, with no explanation, he comes into class and spits out word for word. How do students learn this way? Have you done your research to find out that most teachers are underemployed? They are settled in schools because they have to fend for their families. The system has failed. How can a failed system function in the lives of individuals? How can they work or do things they want to do when the system they believed in failed them? I would have rather preferred you said the decision for one to become who they are is what happens. When one plans to do something simple, life makes it difficult, but for Nigeria, life, plus the Nigerian factor makes it unworthy. The decision for them to do what they want is their choice, but in this failed system, you would see lazy people as lazy, give them jobs with good salaries, and see what happens. Jamie Oliver gave a speech in the UK and said the British youths are very lazy, and that he loves immigrants who would work day and night, he specifically mentioned Nigerians. These are Nigerians who washes plates, who clean grounds, who clean toilets, and are paid at the time frame as the company informed. In Nigeria, it doesn’t work that way. We have people who work for 8 months at companies with turnover of over 50million, for example, arctic spatial, and yet, they don’t pay salaries. Did you fight for them? If they decide to leave and buy okadas to ride, it’s their decision. If they asked for aid, would you support them? Stop telling me you did a research and made this notion about some specific people. Your country has failed and keeps failing. 1 Like |

What is this Joe Igbokwe saying, let me ask Mr Joe, how many people have you volunteered to pay school fees and they refused to go to school willingly, Mr Joe how many youth have you empowered since you started making money from government, Mr Joe, how many schools have you visited to see the delapitated school equipments they are managing to teach their students all because of you these stupid elders that has mortgaged the future of the youths of this country for you selfish interest, truth be told if I had a chance to meet this man one on one I would break his teeth for saying such trash against the Nigerian youth. Come to my area where you will see guys who are in the university doing odd jobs just to pay school fees, eat and pay rent . Some of them would quickly go and carry blocks in the morning , then by 9am they rush to school. And this man here is saying rubbish. How many of Mr Joe's children are in Nigeria schools.
