Soyinka Describes Nigerian Youths As "First To Comment" Youths by booblacain(m): 1:59pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
“The first thing is that I have never given a blanket endorsement of youth. I used to exchange friendly disagreements with Tai Solarin from time to time over this. I remember I took him on once when he said, I can die for the young generation, and I said, don’t say that. Don’t be so sweeping in your statement, some of this young generation is treacherous and many of them are only just waiting for their own slice of the national cake. “But something has been happening to our youth. It’s probably the technological strides in communication and dissemination of information. Far too many of them, empty-headed, really think that they know. They are what I sometimes refer to as the generation of be–the- first- to- comment. It’s like they are sitting down there, they don’t understand the issue somebody has just posited, either as a blog or whatever you people call it, I don’t know– I don’t live in that virtual realm," he added.

Soyinka is a Nairalander! Abi Baba is vexing that some people are always dragging nairaland frontage first to comment with him. Well, Baba is absolutely truthful about the state of the youths Nigeria have. It's well! Quality UK 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade men's shirts available for sale.
