Nigerian youths do read,but mostly news,entertainment,and sports. Our reading culture is not geared towards improving our productivity. The Mallam is right even though am not his fan. Its time for us to sit up as the future leaders of this country. 1 Like |

El Ruffai is fond of making absolute statements. I read his tweet this afternoon and responded. He did not reply back. Their generation enjoyed free education. That's why you meet many people of his age range who are phD holders or professors. The system is very bad. When I was in school, a lot of students settled lecturers to get good grades. How would they be encouraged to read? 2 Likes |

Truckpusher: "God bless the soul of that woman who said "if you want to hide anything from a Black man, put it in a book". She is damn so correct" Seriously? with all your claims to owning close to 1,300 books (all original)according to you, and you fail to see that the same comment was racially motivated ,then bro you've read nothing.You are just a noise maker like El Rufai and his cohorts ...QED Racial statement or not, is she lying or saying the truth? You need to travel to developed countries to see that in reality the average black lacks something and that is "Vital Knowledge". If Obasanjo didn't help the likes of Dangote, Otedola and others Monopolize the Nigerian market, do you think they will be amongst the worlds 2,000 richest men. See an average American who didn't attend college for a day is way ahead an average Nigerian Masters Degree holder. This statement might sound too mean but it is a reality. Let's stop shying away from the truth. 2 Likes |

If there were a 100,000 youths in each state in Nigeria who have read diverse books of History, Government and culture and know our right from wrong believe me Nigeria won't have all the likes of GEJ, El-Rufai and OBJ in power because we would have long used our intellectual rights to flush them out. Nigerian youths of Today only follow the crowd. 99.9% of them know absolutely nothing aside Sports, music, movies and Fashion. They come screaming when they receive some silly broadcast of their blackberry and swallow every silly news hook. Line and sinker without taking out time to reason for a few seconds. Look at the same people who were making noise all over on the Subsidy issue, Farouk Lawan, Dana Crash, Aluu killing and the others. How many of them have asked the outcome of the fact findings after such stories died down. Their is no miracle, Nigeria will keep having a terrible government (leaders) after a bad one because the politicians have realized how unenlightened the populace are. Me and this very same foo*lish El-rufai have never agreed on twitter for one day because he assumes I am too direct and blunt whileresponding to him and he hates it. I told him before he is Buhari's greatest enemy and an enemy to CPC and accused him on his silence of Boko Haram. Yes he hates it but deep inside him knows I am telling him the truth. Whereas all this same children crying foul at his comment are the very same followers that shower praises on him when he twits to insult the government. Th reason being they have forgotten history so easily. 4 Likes |

ogugua88: I don't know which is funnier. The fact that he's always referred to as pint-sized or the fact that he made the announcement on Twitter, fully aware that many of those who follow him are lazy youths who get all their news from Twitter, rather than taking things from the site with a grain of salt and doing their own research before coming to conclusions.what el rufai said is mostly true. Majority of educated nigeria youths dont read or even listen to news. Most of us only watch movie, read movie, watch football, d girls channel E. We are just entertainment crazy. When it comes to serious tins like news.. CNN, BBC, CNC, CCTVnews, docummentar, etc very very very few among us youth pay attention. Most of us are educated but uninformed and as a result, most of us are deformed. 2 Likes |

acidtalk:The Nigerian situation is a peculiar one. If u like, read all the books in the world from pali to pali without knowing anybody in a position of authority, its all in vain. Just like it was written above, the likes of Dangote et all had 'HELP'. There are people that graduated wit good results out there, some of them read just about anytin they can lay their hands upon. As usual, if they dont know people in the right places, no job(except the really fortunate ones). Whats the point of reading when there's no food on the table? If music, buying and selling pays the bills, so be it. 2 Likes |

I'm sure the mallam was referring to his Northern gullible youths. They (Northern elite) denied their young ones who are not their children education because they don't want them to get emancipated from mental slavery. They rather resorted to using them as violence tool because the gullible ones cannot discern the truth themselves. I'll implore El-rufai to go and address this very topic in his Northern part of the country because they need it more than any other parts of the country. 1 Like |

With myopic mindsets and sentimental emotions like yours, I doubt if Nigeria will ever attain greatness. Believe it or not, The Northern part of Nigeria produces the best Architects and Engineers in Nigeria who are doing Nigeria Proud. The Medical end as well is highly being dragged by the SouthWesthern and Northern students. So think well before commenting.

icequeen22:i dont agree with u . Though i know that many people use influence and back door to get to where they are. But there is still alot of positions and opportunity for those who are very good in what they do. Those who have gone beyond first degree school knowledge, those who have dig further beyond conventional academics succeed in life most times in Nigeria. 1 Like |

Don't hate the messenger...Did you get the message? Does current trend among Nigeria youth validate his assertion? Embrace of consumption end-products anyone? And by the way, I can't stand the craze about Arsenal, Manchester, etc. These idiots even close shops/skip schools to go watch others make money. El Rufai, your message is correct, even though I have issues with you being the messenger. ...Heck, somebody got to do it. 2 Likes |

icequeen22: Like I have stated twice earlier and will state again. El-rufai talking about "Reading" isn't just pointing at SCHOOL Books my brother. While in school, I stabbed classes, confronted all my lecturers, first student to confront the VC and others, but one thing was never take away, all those people respected me for my intellect. Reading isn't just about school books here. It is all about general knowledge and good reasoning. 2 Likes |
