There were Nigerian films shot on celluloid, by thespians like Eddie Ugbomah, Hubert Ogunde, Ola Balogun, Moses Olaiya etc.

It is mutually exclusive.

You cannot claim the far majority and yet the far majority claim to be unemployed .

You.cannot claim the far majority and yet innovation and inventions are virtually non-existent.

You cannot claim the far majority yet corruption and social vices are common place.

You cannot claim far majority and yet there is the joke that makes the round on the internet about the Nigerian fraudster.

They are mutually exclusive.

See them....exposing their ignorance and laziness. Is Nollywood a film or a phenomenon, a whole industry transformed?

Wanting quick money is a form or laziness my brother. o don't support the chief cattle rearer's of saying the truth. Some of us the youths are quite lazy, dull and would rather fleece one way or the other than to change their way of life the proper way. Just becuase you and i are intellectual enough to create a future for ourselves and our offspring doesn't mean there millions thinking that way. i dont knw you neither do i know what you're going through, but i guess you don't wait for the government to give hand down something to you before you made it in life.


Must he announce to you on social media that he is going home. He is going home and i repeat he is, its a fact.

My dear friend.
You do not live in Nigeria is you can boldly claim that Nigerian youths are not innovative.
Infact, your extremely narrow-minded references to Nigerian youths and internet fraud is extremely is annoyingly .
When it comes to youth crime, every single nation in the world is represented, some more than others.

I don't from what plastic universe you are from, but in my Nigeria, every single day and I witness and interact with hundreds , thousands of hardworking, resourceful youths , who , against the greatest odds that beset youths in any part of the world, find novel legitimate means of keeping body and soul together.

Funny, enough , Buhari's stuuuupid , ignorant attack on the Nigerian youths has made me more sensitive,much more aware of the plight of the youths of this failed state, and much able to appreciate their hardwork , resourcefulness and perseverance.

Know what? You are just a good example of a lazy youth. Your Monika is a betrayal because you are not sharp one bit.

I've just boldened the misspellings in your sentence. Just a sentence and you made so many errors. And you haven't learnt to write names starting with Capital letter. #LazyYouth

As an objective person I agree Joe Igbokwe raised salient points. Youths of today are impatient unintelligent and rash. They dont read books to learn about live. I went to fix my generator one day and found out that this man was working alone. I asked him Sir where are your apprentices? He said they all left. Why sir I asked. He said they are not patient to learn. I was there and the man made N9000 by 4 pm when I left

Anything positive about Nigeria is the creation of younger generation, be it Nollywood or the thriving Nigeria hip-hop industry or the e-Commerce or Sports not forgetting the International fames won by the Chimamanda etc. The elderly in Nigeria should keep quiet or 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. Joe Igbokwe, you are notorious but not popular. You ought to hide your face in shame for what you represent!

plaetton:

And you think youths are to blame ?
C'mon man.

What alternate universe are you from ?

The Nigerian youths have , for almost half a century, been serially betrayed by selfish, visionless adults who themselves had grown up in far rosier conditions than they left them.

I was in junior secondary school when this same Buhari mutineed his way into our national landscape and ushered in era upon era of brigandage and desolation of everything sacred in this country.

I have, over the decades that followed, seen the prospects of youths go down, down , to Zero and hopelessness.

What a very very sad irony that today, the same Buhari is indirectly blaming , no, mocking the Nigerian youths for their plight and the hopelessness of their prospects.

[b]You can hate the man for whatever reason appeals to you but try to be fair to him.

The politicians of the 80's were just as bad if not worse than those of today and indeed people were eating from bins.

As it stood, coup d'etats were fashionable at the time, so a military group swung into action as they did then.
It was actually welcomed at the time, though frought with much trepidation.

Even today, at a time in which coups have become obsolete, here on Nairaland, I found a few people making a case for it. Practically yearning for it.
Should they strike, I can assure you they would have supporters aplenty which of course doesn't justify it but it gives you a feel of the fickle mind of people.

When the military struck in '83 no one could foesee that it would be so for 16 more years (same number of years as PDP held power) quite strange.

There may have been brigandage with subsequent Junta but it was one allegation barely levelled against him.

To the burning issue, I'm quite thrilled this has come to the public discourse.

A president that sugarcoats our predicament, challenges, failures and strengths, we do not need.

A challenge to our hardworking youth is innovation and invention.

The government has its blame, and as you make no excuses for them, you must make no excuses for the underproductive youth as well.

So much bullshyt here.
Buhari of yesterday and today are the same. He has medieval worldviews about how society functions.
His leadership was out of style and visionless in 1983 as they are today.
His sheer CONTEMPT for Nigerian remains the same today as it was in 1983.

You keep making reference to youth and innovations. I reiterate that you not live in Nigeria or how could you possibly be blind to all the innovative ways Nigerian youths are using just to survive ?

Are you dissappointed that Nigerian youths are not founding multibillion dollar software companies ?
With what educational or technological infrastructures are they build upon ?
In a country where corrupt leadership and religious charlatans worked together deprive and dumb down the youthful population with magical thinking, from what educational and scientific base do you expect our exploited and betrayed youths to start from.

Its like the tens of millions of almajiri children in Northern Nigeria, whose adult parents abandoned at infancy.
People like would be blaming the kids for the hopelessness upon which their lives revolve.
