I think poverty is a factor in all this.
A lot of our youths are unemployed and searching for jobs day and night.
instead of searching for job for 5 years

why not enter politics where tey are sharing the jobs


How can they fight when they're hungry?



is it when they are almost dead they will now fight or now while they still have some left in the tank


Let those old men give Nigerian youths a chance



why,
win gave the old men c chance

This is exactly d question i have bn asking my friends since last yr....
One of my close friend always defend these old politicians who hv refused 2 retire for d youths...Seriously,d way things ar going, I wonder if d tomorrow will ever come.....may be d tomorrow our teacher meant for us to lead is dat of after life.... !!!
This is my reply to Tony who always defend old poliicians in Naija...
@Tony, let me tell u d truth, these old guys u ar carrying in ur head do not care abt u, neither do they care abt me...THEY DON'T CARE ABT US at all...Remember, we studied so hard in school 2 attain the best brains, u made upper class (2.1) in chem Eng, I made 2.1, ND made same, but today u chose to call d youths a waste set of ppl,, its a big pity u don't know dat Naija youths are d ones running d active parts of Naija economy (go check d Oil Sector, Telecoms,Entrepreneurship,Banking,Finance,etc) while the old Paparazzis ar there scooping all d money via politics. Currently, Lie Mohammed & Co ar there still fighting for ministerial positions & u think its because they care abt u? No bro! wake up from your dream! They don't care a piece of shit abt u, their priority is 2 use the ministerial positions 2 enrich themselves as they also settle their family members & friends in the respective ministries!(Ministerial position is now an avenue to settle party faithfuls)! If u like, u keep defending hypocrites & liers who never care abt whether u exist or not (that's ur own cup of tea) as for me & my family, what we do now is 2 face our lives & businesses as we pray for God's daily provisons....! Waiting for d appointed time for Naija youth revolution!!! Truly u r still in dark & u need 2 wake up 2 realities b4 its too late..the sooner u do, the better for u!

What is wrong with Nigerian youths?

There is something fundamentally wrong with the Nigerian youth

Why do Nigerian youths fail to put ethnic, religious, and every other affiliation sentiments aside and fight and defend their future!?

Can’t we think?

How long will the political class divide and rule us?

Can’t we see what they are doing?

PDP = APC = Political class

They are the same people. They cross from one to the other for their selfish reasons while we fight and abuse one another on social media they are looting us dry!

What is wrong with the Nigerian youth?


In 1989 the chinese youths and studenst went on hunger strike and they where without food for days demanding policy changes that will make their lives better - and today China is a first world country and the biggest beneficiary are the youths

What is wrong with us!?


Next month, November the electricity charges will be hiked by 40% and we are online throwing tantrums at one another


While South African youths are out protest the proposed school fees hike as I speak!


Is it a wonder that they are making progress and moving towards being a first world


what is wrong with the NIgerian Youth?

They are Babangida's children, Things changed in this country in 1985, anybody 35 and below grew up in an environment when the education system had collapsed and the moral values of the country had collapsed, everything was about money and thieves became role models, the brains left the country and the gap was filled by quacks. These quacks now set the values for the rest of society. On education, the problem with education is you are only as good as the quality of education (both moral and classroom) you receive.

The Nigerian youth of today wants to be given power and complains that the same old people are running the country whereas most of these old leaders were already in government as youths. What they don't realize is that a lot of these "old" people fought for Nigerian independence, they used their youth productively as student's union activists or nationalists to protest or canvass various causes. Instead the Nigerian youth of today is engaged in the business of crowd for Hire, starting with Daniel Kanu of the YEAA fame. The National Association of Nigerian Students of today is busy giving awards to Buruju Kashamu, wheras the Nigerian youth pre Babangida fought for the right of the oppressed, for social justice! Students activism in my day was about social justice, today when you hear noise in a university it's about cultism.

Babangida killed the moral fabric of this society and then killed the educational system thus killing their ability to think, in the process we've produced 60million poorly educated, dull and morally bankrupt largely unemployable youth. When Dangote says he wants to employ graduates as Drivers it's because their degress are not worth the paper the are printed on. A 70 year old man who did not go to university is better educated that the average Nigerian graduate of today. It's not the fault of the youths, they are a product of their environment, just as those of us before them are lucky to have been born in a different environment. but understand the damage Babangida and Abacha have done to this country and in particular a generation of Nigerians. We are just beginning to see it the repercussions.
