I hope too much garri isn't growing cataracts for your eyes or can't u just read what I just posted,did u see anything like policy or u just too dumb to read

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.

You really have a lot to understand.

Governance has gone beyond that stage, quite alright we have welfare states and the rest.
Currently Nigeria style of Government is geared towards making of policies, monitoring those implementing those policies and provision of certain infrastructure which should not be paid for.
In other words, we are to make policies for the provision of water, but give the licences out for companies to provide it then monitor them.
As far as ministries and parastatals manage this things, and receive their salary at the end of the day, irrespective of what they turn in, you will have non functional systems.
So they best thing is to hand it over to the private see while monitoring it.

Was he talking about all the youths there, so where did the narration, Buhari said Nigerian youths are lazy is coming from.

Like I said, I insist we have a lot of lazy youths as well as a huge population of uneducated people.

Fazemood:


And you believe that investors leaving the country is as a result of the restiveness of these supposed "a lot of youths" do you? Brother?

A lot of companies sold off and left due to the Niger delta militants issue, boko haram which comprises mostly of youths is doing their damage as well as kidnappers, yahoo boys and fulani herdsmen, most of which fall into youth bracket.

Nigeria has always had electricity problems, so don't go towards that angle

Proudlyngwa:


Like I said he was right.

Stop looking at the world through your eyes only.

Nigeria has a big problem on the education and mentality level.
The earlier we accept it the better for us.

Then whose fault is it? It's that of the govt. it's not getting anything right. What has this govt done right except propaganda? Even Npower is a fraud.

Proudlyngwa:


That is what you people don't understand, Government has passed providing water and electricity for you, that now should be the job of the private sector.
The job of government should be regulating it.

can you tell us where it is written in the constitution that it is now the function of private sector to provide water and electricity to populace. I now see that you are arguing on a biased mind possibly the president is from the north and you are also from the north.

Mandeyy:

That is a topic for another day.

The truth is we expect too much from the government, due to campaign promises.

The federal government is shouldering a lot of the state government responsibilities, while the state has killed the local government.

The Government needs to hands off a lot of responsibilities, why they do most things is because they are avenues for siphoning money.

Proudlyngwa:

Like I said you guys are looking at a lot from the angle of fractions not numbers.

If we have 100 million youths and 200,000 are in bad shape, that is a lot, if it were a disease it would have been declared an epidemic

Is that the only part of my post u saw? Keep dodging

freeze001:


I know you didn't hear 'lazy' but I'm sure you heard him say 'they sit and do nothing, expecting to get healthcare and the likes free'. Now when someone says a lot of people sit and do nothing while waiting for freebies, can u explain that phrase in one word?

leave that raving mad moroñ, he thinks he's any less foolish than his pay master.

Oma307:

There was a reason the bureau for privatisation was set up, so as to take off a lot of responsibilities from the government.
The power sector has long been sold.
The water sector is in comatose and needs to be sold.
Same thing should happen to railways, universities, airports, seaports and a lot of other institutions.

The job of Government should be governance, Defense, law, basic education and health.

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.

I wish I could conceal this burning irresistible urge to say fv*ck up. Your altercations will neva fetch u any reasonable response

Proudlyngwa:

Was he talking about all the youths there, so where did the narration, Buhari said Nigerian youths are lazy is coming from.

Like I said, I insist we have a lot of lazy youths as well as a huge population of uneducated people.

So can you humbly pick out these educated hard working youth and the uneducated lazy ones from the entire population.



Did he even in any way make referencê to acknowledge the educated and hard working ones if he is on the positive side about his youth at home ? He was only furious and went to the extreme negative to refer to a lot of his youth at home and you are here looking for where he called all youth lazy and if he truly said "lazy". When you say a lot of them in a group, it simply means many or majority in that group and majority they say determines the result.

Proudlyngwa:

Mr man I insist Buhari was right on that. My problem is he talked about a fraction of people, you people out of hate generalised it to mean all Nigerian youths.

Injury to one is injury to all. He had no right to hang 'a lot of youths' out to dry in such a forum. Every sane Nigerian will take such statement personal and demand the resignation of d maker of such statement.

Dear Senator shehu Sani.....


Buhari didn't insult me.....likewise Adesina....


Buhari and Adesina simply means that Northerners and Southwasterners......are lazy to a point of no return.....


buhari has since outruled se/ss the 5% from his govt....so I didn't see any reason he will apologise to us......


we all know the people buhari and adesina are referring to......ie the northerners and wasterners.....

This argument started with the question where did Buhari say Nigerian youths are lazy, as I said he talked about a lot of youths not going to school and having entitlement mentality being misconstrued to all Nigerian youths are lazy.
I explained to you that in a population of 50 million, 500 thousand is a lot.

You decided to bring in other aspects into it, forgetting that there was a place where I said the stage he said it was wrong, but it would be unfair to twist his words.

Buhari will only be forgiven if he resigns

Proudlyngwa:

And yot believe that the youths are masterminds and facilitators of these henious crimes?

IamD18:
Please, where are Nland Buhari supporters, i'v not being seeing their zombified rants and comments.

Or are they LAZY to comment?

of course they 're lazy youths. bubu has given them a harder job this time arround, with the added insults, so they 're on strike action now.

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.

If tomorrow the much touted 15 billion Naira investment proposed by Shell dies a natural death,
resident zombies will say Shell should go to hell with their money rather than accept that the 'truthful' blunder of the president is a major cause.

Only Nigerian youth play Naijabet with N100 expecting to win N17m.
Even the devil cant be this lazy and wicked.

-Theophilus and u keep complaining that d president generalized u people we stand with gmb2019

Like I said, you can fault the stage, not the statement.

A lot of Nigerian youths are uneducated, lazy, unproductive and have entitlement mentality.

That you don't like it does not stop it from being the truth.

Why do u keep leaving out the 'sit down and do nothing' part? You know that's the description of lazy don't you?

You guys should stop giving this slowpoke attention. Allow the idiot to continue embarrassing himself and generation thinking he is defending Buhari.

Fazemood:

Bros, am a field worker, I work in the creeks, somethings are better left unsaid.

A lot of youths down here they should not pay for anything, some are paid for doing nothing

I fault the entire statement because it was uncalled for. Like I've asked u before, what were the questions he was asked that elicited his thoughtless response?

Lazy meaning

freeze001:


Why do u keep leaving out the 'sit down and do nothing' part? You know that's the description of lazy don't you?

Because that is the truth, a lot of people sit down do nothing are paid and expect freebies because Nigeria is an oil producing nation.

The percentage might be small, but the number is high.

freeze001:

Like I've told you before this argument started with people saying Buhari calling Nigerian youths lazy, not some Nigerian youths lazy.

Let it be our reference.
The statement might have been uncalled for, but it was the truth.
That is the point am driving at.

I know you are probably trying to dance to the tune of your pay masters, so I am going to keep it short.

Politics is the authoritative allocation of values in a society. So whatever is lacking in a society, be it moral values or otherwise, it is the job of those with political power to change the narrative. If the government feels it has past it's duties to provide simple basic amenities like water and electricity as you claimed, then the government should make policies to change the present circumstances. That is what they are elected to do. If the government feels it's citizens are not educated, it should put in policies that will mandate and ensure it's citizens gets quality education.

Proudlyngwa:


Unfortunately madam, he was saying the truth.
Like I said in another thread, the problem is most people look at this country from the city perspective.

You need to enter the slums, creeks and deep villages to have another view.

When we have as much as a million people with a wrong view of life, that is a very huge number, unfortunately the number is even more, am a field worker and have been to over 60 riverine communities as well as many communities in the core North and I can tell you we have a bigger problem than the president portrayed.

Identifying the problem is one thing, will power to work on it is another.

Unfortunately but bitterly the president was right.

mr man u jst shot urself u asked where he said lazy they pointed it out to u, u r saying now that d president is saying d truth who asked u

Proudlyngwa:

Chairman your statements are not straight forward, both state government and Federal government are Government. They are all not doing things right. They should put the blame on themselves not Nigerian youth

What caused all this laziness is them that refused to put things in place, rather they embezzled the nation resources and now have the authority to come and pure sand sand for our garri abroad.

If they can't fix it they should leave and let those who can to come

Like I said you people can make conclusions based on what you feel.
I insist Buhari never called Nigerian youths lazy, as he was referring to uneducated people who refuse to work.
You can twist it as much as you want.
The truth is that is the reality, unfortunately the stage was wrong.
