President Buhari is just too blunt....

Now let's look at these established findings;

1) Do you know that over 65 million youths are illiterates in Nigeria – UNESCO, 2017

2) Nigeria also leads in the world's uneducated children - Newsweek, 2017

Nigeria has 'largest number of children out-of-school' in the world - BBC, 2017

Fact check;
You can hate Buhari, but the truth is that he stated the obvious and again, what is already known around the world. You should understand by now that PMB is not like any typical politician and because of that, he says things the way they are. He is just honest to a fault. It may not be diplomatically okay considering the environment of such communication

Proudlyngwa:
I have watched that video over and over again and am yet to see where he said Nigerian youths are lazy, can someone point to the exact spot for me.

Proudlyngwa:


Mr man kindly point where he called Nigerian youths lazy, I might have missed it, I have provided references to the one i watched.

neyobills:


Oh really how cool,so we are only paying taxes for him to travel abroad and call us demeaning names,unfortunately your opinion is only a village market square opinion

Here is what the UN says....


One of the first references to adequate housing can be found in the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948. Article 25 (1) of The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of
living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including
food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services..” (UN, 1949).
Though there was no use of the specific term „adequate housing‟, but in spirit
adequate housing, safe and adequate water for drinking and other domestic uses, and
proper sanitation facilities were considered important elements of the right to
adequate standard of living. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights (ICESCR), 1966, which is the monitoring body for the
implementation of economic, social and cultural rights, recognises adequate housing
as part of the right to an adequate standard of living. The Committee in its Article
11.1 says, “The right of everyone to an adequate standard of living for himself and his
family, including adequate food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous
improvement of living conditions” (UN 2009, p. 11).
Provision of safe and sufficient water and sanitation is an important and integral part
of adequate housing. In 2002, the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights adopted its General Comment No. 15 on the right to water. The
Committee underlined that the right to water was part of the right to an adequate
standard of living, as were the rights to adequate food, housing and clothing (UN
2010, p. 4). Right to water and sanitation are also recognised independently as basic
human rights. The United Nations General Assembly on 28th July 2010 adopted a
resolution recognising the human right to water and sanitation.

Next time before u quote me remember there is something between your ears,kindly make use of it.

Please, where are Nland Buhari supporters, i'v not being seeing their zombified rants and comments.

Or are they LAZY to comment?

nams77:

elow 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.”


I want you to read that portion. I believe you are erudite. Can you in one word sum up this"therefore they believe they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free?" Can you sum up the statement in one word? If someone behaves this way, what would you call him? LAZY! So even if the word lazy is not mentioned, he has described what a lazzy person is
Though I know you won't agree because u are a die hard supporter. Bye

Proudlyngwa:


He did not say 60% of Nigerian youths sit at home, he said sixty percent of the population are youths and a lot of them has not been to school.

I know a lot of Nigerians have comprehension problems.

I'm sure you're doing this on purpose

Proudlyngwa:

I have watched the video, all I ask is point where he said lazy. Except the video I watched is different kindly give me a link and time stamp, thanks.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0QiTnqGoXQ

00.29 to 1.06 was talking about a lot of people not being to school and still having expectations that because they country is an oil producing nation, a lot of things should be free.
If you say the stage was wrong I agree, if you say the speech was wrong I disagree.

Proudlyngwa:


The problem is you guys equate a lot to half and above.

If in 40 million, 500,000 is a problem, my brother that is a lot.

izzou:


I'm sure you're doing this on purpose

Proudlyngwa:

The government is meant to make policies on the provision of most of this things.
Once it turns to a revenue generating venture, it should be concessed.
Government maintaining most of this infrastructure is why things don't work down here.

Mogidi:


Don't weep more than the bereaved, even his supporters have acknowledged he spoke irresponsibly.

Proudlyngwa:


Buhari's problem has always been saying it as it is.
Thank God you say the stage is the problem, other people are outrightly twisting his word.

Proudlyngwa:


The problem is you guys equate a lot to half and above.

If in 40 million, 500,000 is a problem, my brother that is a lot.

FatherJP:




If i say you behave like a fool i hope you won't take offence as i called you no fool ? Maybe you should apply to replace Adesina since you want to do more than him in his job. He is arguing bout " a lot" and "all" while you are looking for "lazy" in a statement that said a lot love to sit around and do nothing while expecting everything from the government.



Again, i hope if i say you behave like a fool (just like i am saying it now) trying to defend incompetence, you won't get offended as i didn't call you a fool ? I wish you just reply with yes so that i can tell you that you are actually behaving like a fool and would need to trace your steps back.

Fazemood:


And you can understand that making such statement hasn't just angered the youth but has also created in the minds of foreign investors the idea that Nigerians are not eager to work so they better seek another place where the people are work ready and they'd get more out of their investments. Right? Regardless of the figure Mr. Buhari might be refering to when he said alot.

freeze001:


Why do u think a lot must be less than half and not more? If he meant less than a lot, he'd have said 'a few' or even 'some', not 'a lot'.

If that laziness is not a present affliction in ur life, you would see that the issue is not so much the quantity but the intent of disparaging even one Nigerian youth when it wasn't called for. If u are seeking to woo investors will u not play up ur advantages whilst downplaying ur disadvantages? Would u deliberately highlight ur negatives in the name of being truthful when u weren't even asked that?

Do you even know the question he was asked before he spewed out such sacrilege?

Proudlyngwa:


Their lies the problem,

The problem should be are they making the right policies and seeing it actualized.

It is high time, the government hands off a lot of things.
We can see what happened to telecoms industry when the private sector took over, same with courier services and private universities.

Mogidi:

DON'T BE LAZY, watch the video again

Proudlyngwa:
I have watched that video over and over again and am yet to see where he said Nigerian youths are lazy, can someone point to the exact spot for me.

Proudlyngwa:


And if you have read through my arguments, you would have seen where I said the stage was wrong.
Without Buhari's statement a lot of investors have left the country because of the restiveness of this same youths.
