Earthbound:
'Youth' is plural ooooooo!

Why is everybody like this? It's irritating!

It is not exactly wrong to use the word Youths for young persons as it can be countable in many contexts particularly if it is referring to young persons, and not countable with reference to the state of being young or part of one's childhood.
There is thus no blunder to say Nigerian youths or Northern Nigerian youths, so let's not be irritated by the flexibility of the usage of the word depending on preference.

Its northern youths that are lazy. We the southern youths should not allow this northern lazy people to rule us again.

But your governor disagrees, he says most Bayelsa (and even River's youths are lazy;

"Bayelsans are so lazy, they want everything free, they are not ready to work, how do i repair the turbine when no one is ready to pay for services"
- Gov. Dickson on media Chat.

Even Obasanjo chilled Nigerian youths about it months ago, saying they are waiting for dead men’s shoes

Another obasanjo quote;

“The youth are uneducated. Unskilled. Unemployed. They have frustration,” Obasanjo said. - https://mg.co.za/article/2017-05-19-00-olusegun-obasanjos-greatest-fear

Nigeria is another word for hypocrisy, in fact hypocrisy is a way of life. It is only in Nigeria that someone sick and dying would declare "I am strong", someone who is broke "I am rich" and someone has problems " no problem".

So many politicians down the years have said that lots if not majority of Nigerian youths are lazy and don't want to do exhausting work. This is the main reason why cultists, militancy, corporate begging and Yahoo Yahoo is on the rise. It is only when Buhari say it that it becomes a crime, but when any other politician says it, it becomes news.

Buhari comment on Nigeria youths that they are lazy is hate speech. Hence he has committed an impeachable offense by saying hate speech against gallant Nigeria youths. #Buharimustnotwin2019 #BuharinotqualifytoruleNigeria #voteoutbuharicome2019

Paperwhite:
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has described the controversial statement made by President Muhammadu Buhari regarding some Nigerian youth as “apt, precise and succinct”.

Buhari while speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster, said some Nigerian youths sit at home and do nothing.


The statement sparked a lot of controversy.

However, in a statement on Monday, MURIC’s Director, Ishaq Akintola said Buhari was not the first Nigerian leader to have described people as lazy.

According to him, former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar; Seriake Dickson, governor of Bayelsa state; and ex-military president, Ibrahim Babangida had directed such statements at Nigerians.

The statement reads, “The problem with Nigerians is that they always run away from reality. Not known for verbosity, our president has hit the nail on the head,” the statement read.


“The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) contends that the president’s description of the Nigerian situation regarding its youths was apt, precise and succinct. Many of our youths are lazy but we don’t want to admit it. Instead of commending this truthful leader, we started calling him names.

“Nigerians need to contextualise the president’s comment. We have seen many youths functioning as political thugs as the 2019 general elections approach. What of the ‘agberos’ or touts who have now spilled out of motor parks unto the streets and bus stops? What responsible work are they doing? Are they not youths?

“We have forgotten that Buhari is not the only leader who described Nigerians and the youth in particular in this manner. Governor Dickson in a media chat on 17th may, 2016 was alleged to have said, ‘Bayelsans are so lazy, they want everything free, they don’t want to work’.

“The 25th September 2017 edition of a northern-based newspaper also reportedly quoted Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as saying, “Northerners are lazy” while General Babangida (rtd) allegedly opined during a BBC Hausa service interview of 16th April, 2010, The Nigerian youth is useless, cannot lead.


“Senator Shehu Sani added flavour to this in December 2017 when he reportedly said ‘Northerners are "lazy".

so a sensitive father wouldn't condemn his kids in his vicinity but went outside the country to condemn them, of what value he's trying to pass to the international countries? Nigeria youths are lazy, million of people graduates from school every year, no job, no social amenities they could build their entrepreneurial skills on and yet you tagged them lazy?


ibb, atiku said it bla bla, do u ever see those aforementioned going outside the country to make such ridiculous and disgrace statement

Maybe they will vote for him. That will be wrong, I concede that.
But Jonathan was adjudged corrupt and the SS and SE voted for him. Did you also fault that then?

OGHENAOGIE:
jona k
Lost in all core north states apart from taraba and adamawa....2011 and 2015...

Jonathan lost but got 25% in most of the Northern states - infact he could not get 25% in only can 4 states
But there was no state where he did not get double digit in those states
We know that 25% is critical

Now look at Buhari - he never got double digit let alone 25% in any state in SE and SS in both 2011 and 2015
It was only Imo, perhaps because of Rochas, that gave Buhari double digit, and still less than 25%

OGHENAOGIE:
Make we continue do we reason here no dats yy sm yeye pple like politicians are d richest here...cos de have myopic supporters all the time....
Continue what?
You support SS and SE's inability to even give 10% to a Buhari in both 2011 and 2015
and you are still not happy with people in the North who gave Jonathan over 25% in most places

Your position is strange and it is actually the one likely to be myopic
How? A candidate and his supporters are likely to believe with that kind of stingy voting pattern that it is hate that is at work,
Will they now support candidates from the South in the futiure?
