Nigerian youths are not lazy. They just misdirect their energy. Energy cannot be destroyed, you can only transform it to something else. Sometimes, this youthful energy is directed (transformed) into social vices and outer boredom. It doesn't mean the culprit is lazy.

Is only a Nigerian youth I have seen with six packs without going to the gym because he rolls 100kg wheelbarrow daily for 40 kilometers. He can run a sprint on the high road trying to sell you a water bottle all day in the scorching heat without getting hit by a car and he will be back the next day. Many just get bored and prefer to be Yahoo boys. look at it from their perspective, that work is much easier than selling water bottle.

No, he is not lazy, Someone, betrayed him. Someone, didn't do their work of guidance and nurturing.

He has not been taught many things, but also he or she have not been opportuned to see how else things could work. For example, let's take teamwork. In any sport, everybody knows that to win you must work together in a team. Most of our youths loves football but they don't get the lesson of the sport: The team work.

Say a midfielder wants to pass a ball to a striker and he deceives his own striker, he pretends to pass the ball, but he doesn't. The striker starts the move but the ball never gets to the location. Everytime, the midfielder does that. That team will never score a point because they are lying to each other. That is not a team work.

The number one reason Nigerian youths suffers is dishonesty. If you have a project with Nigerian youths working on it, they will all lie to each other in that project for simple things.

"How far are you?" Tunde asked. " I am five minutes away" Obi replied. But Obi is still three hours away. Meanwhile, Tunde is planning and working on a wrong assumption. Guess what? The project is going to fail just because of the series of such small and deliberate misrepresentations and inconsistencies. This is one of the reasons most of the $35 billion diasporas remittance that came into the country in 2016 got lost. Normally, that money is enough toe transform a country. The next year more money will come and get lost gain.

Most of the projects or activities that fails in Nigeria is not because someone actually stole the money. NO. It is because everyone involved lied to each other and ended up working on the wrong assumptions. Anything built on lie will collapse. It is the law of nature.

I don't think many Nigerian youths know this because his fathers and forefathers were also like that and they did quite well he thought? But he is not sure how the Germans did it.
