The usual blame game:

1. Blame the youths for not going to school: isn't it government's responsibility to ensure its citizens are well educated? All serious countries (i.e. developed economies) provide free primary and secondary education (and free or subsidized school lunch) to all citizens; it's then individual choice to pay for private school. In Nigeria, the cost of education overwhelms families, and as a result, some youths will not have access to education.

2. Blame the youths for relying on oil revenue: in more developed countries, people work, and government gets its funding from taxes. When there are no jobs, where will tax revenue come from? After Buhari and his mates destroyed Nigeria's economy from 1980s till now, they want to blame unborn people for the country's predicament?

3. Blame the youths for wanting free healthcare: is it not in US that the government spends about ONE TRILLION dollars on free healthcare for nearly 1/3 of its citizens? Similar numbers can be found for Canada, UK, Japan, Germany, etc.
https://www.cbpp.org/research/federal-budget/policy-basics-where-do-our-federal-tax-dollars-go
https://www.kff.org/medicaid/state-indicator/total-medicaid-spending/.

4. Blame the youths for not creating jobs or building business. Apart from being false (since most youths work their ass off in the hot sun), when has government encouraged business? Is it with no light, no loans, bad infrastructure, expensive forex, no support that people can start business?

This government likes to blame and blame others. When will it actually say: "we thought we could do X Y and Z, but we're actually struggling to do only X, but this is how we're going to improve"? It's been 3 years and all we hear is blame blame blame.

I've never heard Buhari once praise his countrymen for any single thing in all his years. Not once.

President Muhammadu Buhari has just given the NIgerian youth the biggest blow, if we cant mobilise to Vote him out in 2019, then we would have justified his tag on us as Lazy.
The same man that spent Nigerians money on hospital bill now saying our youth want free education and free healthcare. It’s s shame!

My joy is that one day Buhari will also sit down in front of his TV and hear what he said and what has been said about him, then it will dawn on him that the name Buhari can't be elected both abroad (Nigeria) and his home (Niger). #lazypresident

The irresponsible mischief makers and intellectually lazy mumus have had their turn.

It is time for real intellectualls to put the president's speech in proper perspective.

Keep on deceiving yourself, listen to the video and you'll discover that what he said was even worse.. He said Nigeria has youths who are not ready to do anything but wait for hand ons from the rich..

One of the worst things about this government is Femi Adesina's lack of candour in defending the unguarded statements of his principal. It is such a shame to see the transformation of otherwise brilliant people into fanatical sycophants once in the corridors of power.

Why I have refused to comment on this idiotic shameful statement from Buhari it's simple.
*Pls what would you expect from a NEPA Bill certificate President
*Pls what do you expect from.president that can not remember his real age and his date of birth?
*Pls what are you expecting from a president who can not remember when did he finished primary school and secondary school?

Why would he not talk like an idiot? He will definitely.

itsdumebi:
Below is a statement signed by the president's media aide, Femi Adesina;

At the Commonwealth Business Forum in London on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari gave a keynote address on Making Business Easier Between Commonwealth Countries. The presentation was followed by a discussion, and question and answer session.

Responding to a question, President Buhari had cause to talk about some Nigerian youths, and he said: " We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. More than 60 per cent of the population is below the age of 30. A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”
Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners. But elementary English recognizes a wide gulf between "a lot of" and the word "all." How can "a lot of them," suddenly transmogrify to mean “all of them?” Mischievous and unconscionable!

There is no way President Buhari, father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths. It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as "irresponsible politics" with everything.

President Buhari has always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms. And he will continue to do so, because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.

Indeed, every country has its share of idle population, and it is the bounden duty of government at all levels, to create an enabling environment for them to actualize their potentials. That is what President Buhari is committed to doing.

The focal areas of the administration; securing the country, reviving the economy, and fighting corruption, are actually intended to give youths a future and a hope. This much was emphasized in an April 5, 2018 comment by President Buhari, while receiving Letter of Credence from the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria, when he said: " Our insistence on probity is to encourage people to be accountable, and accept honesty as a lifestyle so as to secure the future of our youths.’’ The President also said more than 60 percent of Nigerians fall into the age category of youths and deserve to inherit a stable and prosperous country that they can be proud of, adding that the government will work assiduously to prevent waste and the depletion of resources by corrupt Nigerians.

It is futile for mischief makers to lie in wait, and take a minor part of the words of the President, and turn it into negative commentary, peradventure they could diminish the profile of the President. Nigerians across all walks of life know who is serving them faithfully and truly, and they will always reciprocate such fidelity as occasions demand.

Femi is a dunce Sha!
60% is a greater number to 40% that means he was addressing a majority of the youths in his dumb comment. Buhari must see Nigeria from the lens of his bigoted desert religious fanatic north and not the southern part of Nigeria.

We in the south are keen on education as if you are not educated it leads to some sort of discrimination and reduces your self worth. In the north education is a sin and many of them are proud beggers and nuisance to society. Buhari is a confused man and must be sent packing to dura come 2019.


So who da fucvk told you education is a sin in the north, southerners like you think you are the greatest, smartest while you are nothing but ignorant scrubs who think they know a region better than its own people.
