Speaking at the Common Wealth Business Forum in Westminster on April 18, 2018, Buhari said :

“Nigerian youths are lazy, uneducated; and don’t like to do any work because they believe their country is an oil-rich nation, thus always wanting free oil money”

NIGERIAN YOUTH : Sir, you are absolutely correct. One of the lazy Nigerian youths who is enjoying free oil money had an accident with the power bike he bought with free oil money not too long ago, and he was flown abroad for treatment with free oil money, then he hired a jet with free oil money from London to Abuja after his treatment.

Sir, we Nigerian Youth completely agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy and uneducated and always wanting free oil money.

Their role models are in Aso Rock enjoying free oil money without even solving any security or economic problem for the country. When they are ill, they fly abroad for medical vacation with free oil money.

Why would anyone disagree with you that the Nigerian youths are uneducated? It’s very obvious. That’s why they don’t even know their rights !! Some of them ignorantly keep defending your ineptitude!!

Sir, at 19 years of age, you left secondary school to join the Nigerian Army. At age 21, you were commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria.

Where can our youths get such opportunity today ?
You enjoyed free education as a young man, but today the youths are deprived of basic education. You were a governor, a petroleum commissioner and a Head of State as a youth; but today, youths are on social media defending your failures !

Honestly, sir, we agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy. That’s why you ruled Nigeria as a youth and have also grabbed the job as an old man.

The youths are too ignorant to even know the implication of this your comment, because some indolent ones would still rationalize it as an “ordinary” comment, forgetting that ‘out of the abundance of the mind, the mouth speaks’. They don’t even know that you and your fellow old men are presently doing the jobs that the youths should, ordinarily, be doing !

Sir, the most interesting aspect of this your “truth” is that you said it in a country where their government provides basic infrastructures, almost free education, free WiFi, free health care, almost free investment loans for their youths. While, in your own country, these lazy and uneducated youths, provide their own electricity, schools, security, roads, healthcare etc.. Yet, the indolent youths use their http://www.alutavibes.com/president-buhari-vs-nigerian-youths-a-must-read-by-every-intelligent-youth/

Pls this must read is actually a turn off for a few people .
Nice write up
But it's not like many youths are lazy to read this epistle oh
But management of data, multitasking, distraction, too much holding of phone, prevention of having bad eyes and a host of other reasons make it discouraging and mostly impossible for many youths not to read long posts be it here or whatsapp or emails or Facebook, etc

Meanwhile i think Buhari was thinking of a few of his children (I didn't mention any name oh) when he said youths are lazy.
