I once recall in Dubai when we did a cleaning job with loading and unloading inclusive, we Africans guys.(5 Nigeria, 2 Cameroon) did the job a day. With no food just to be loyal with our albab to give us visa.
He protected for the non availability of food and he sacked us.
He employed some Pakistan's guys and it's was funny that what took us a day is taking this guys 2 to 3 days. The albab knows we are hardworking and what he did was to stylishly call us back. Nigerians are not lazy. If you are I am not.

you needed visa
you were desperate not hardworking

Mabpaine:
i dont think You understand what's called enabling environment. No creativity can come out where the environment doesnt allow its flow. China, Indonesia and the likes are a good example.

what did they do
it was 18 farmers who started the chnge on pain of death.

A country can't flourish where theres insecurity

israel

n other political n economical ill-factors like high interest rate,

also insane profits

poor educational system.

nothing wrong with our educational system,its the ppl that are bad

Pls back ur point by listing out inventors who came from terrible countries like Nigeria wivout any wealthy or influencial parents.

why are all our wealthy youth all lazy

Baba biko think before you talk.

abi u do same

And mind U i graduated with a 2,1 in Electronic/Computer Engineering buh I am a successful poultry farmer.

so you wasted ur time and nations money in wrong profession(would'tve if you were paying full price)

So think deep before U hit back. There is a model called PESTEL analysis, I learnt while doing ICAN. Pls google it. Its used to scan the Business environment while Analysing a company's strategic position. Maybe U will understand that you dont just start a business cos U r skillfull buh because the environment supports it.

is the environment supporting your poultry?
why aren't youth going into what the environment support instead of going into sexy sounding courses that are useless to the nation at this time

So sir Govt policies e.g fiscal policy, monetary policy, supply side policy, education policies n the likes av massive effect on a nation's economy.

yet we challenge govt sports policy or ponmo policy or spraying policy but never fiscal policy,i see.please check definition of laziness

Wonder how you didnt even see Voting an Illiterate who doesnt even know how to spell Macroeconomics as a problem but fast to judge the Nigerian youths.

what do you know about political science
so we shud not vote you
costitution and 15 million voters beleive he is qualified

You against Nollywood, US economy is saved by the entertainment and sports industry presently cos China have taken over, hence why Trump is head-on against China. Your issue is that you are myopic and condescending

hahahahahahaha
less than 200 billion in 16 trillion economy?do you know the meaning of saving an economy?

Viicfuntop:
Laziness, because I don’t want to exchange words with you.

no because you have no argument to support your claims that youth are not lazy.i'm sure you don't even know what lazy means,just arguing based in sentiment

IdeyFindWife:
Amen o

Happy for them. But, if I were the boy, it would be my goal to get her something better soon. I wouldn't be able to stomach all she might be going thru as one of the lowest of the low cadres of the office space (y'need to see how they treat cleaners atimes)

It shouldn't be too hard to pull off since boy never gather wife & kids yet.

wen wife come com nko

Somebody said to spend on chick? Ah, chick go wait make I sort my Mahley o

Cromcruach91:
Hmmm

Sports got N2 billion in this year's budget....95% of which went for overheads.

Also, this did not start yesterday.

Glory Alozie defected some years ago to Spain. Nigeria was paying her $2000 a month as salary. Spain offered her $24000 a month plus two free coaches, and a physio.

Francis Obikwelu defected to Portugal...and not only won silver in the 100m at 2004 olympics...he also became more finacially secure.

Either we markedly increase the budget for sports....OR we talke another loan, OR we start paying heavier taxes. Or we blame Bubu and GEJ and corruption.

we haven't increased agric or manufacturing or police or education it is sports that we will increase ba?

Unless you think Nigeria can pay its athletes much better.

(Other African athletes too also defect.)

troy20:
Listen to yourself. If you had someone in that condition who is willing to go to that length to irk out a living then it tells more of the rest of the populace. And I have seen more of that same picture in real life. you really gat some nerve trying to spin this.

there is no spin.
ok who works harder,man with bare hands for 8 hours
or man who uses his brain to rent tractor that work for 1 hr

Mabpaine:
so what are the neccessary qualifications?

majority votes at the poling booth

expert234:
The same way I see the empty life of your immmbecile father in your disposition to life

like ur father ba

Viicfuntop:
I don’t even have this energy.

the laziness we r talking
why did you start what you cannot finish
you yarn dust yet cannot defend it
only to throw insult o show ur lack of home training

Get a life

you that have life
who e epp

mank1234:
This response for the quote above and your claim elsewhere that southerners are lazy.

You're actually the one doing nothing but claims to be doing something. Or how else do you explain having time to reply all comments on this thread?

i make time to reply ppl miseducating our ppl
that is not joblessness(hobby or i get paid to do it)

If I were to do farming as you are doing I won't just stop at producing raw food; I did look at processing it cos that's where real value is being added.

but you aren't even doing the farming
you waiting for oil money while hoping i will start processing company to employ you

Unfortunately, your brothers up north who glorify in old school subsistence agriculture lack basic education to know what to do.

hhahahahahah
have you gone to this north you keep dreaming of
tractors irrigation and fertiliser is not subsistence farming
that is what sooutherners do

Find out most of the processed foods in Nigeria are either imported or processed in the industrious south.

but it is all grown in the north
its easier to start farm than factory but youths rather balame everyone for their laziness

For the records the most industrious Nigerians are found in the east. They may have some negative tendencies but they are very hard-working and do not allow initial setback to deter them.

importation will not solve our problems(non producing)
it will worsen the situation

expert234:
No, like your idiotic father, whose decayed brain has transformed you to the immmmbecile you have become today.

i can see your father in your home training

Viicfuntop:
When I saw an slowpoke,

like your father abi

it shows I am talking to one. I don’t even know what you are talking about.

how will you know with low iq bordering on retardation

Just go.

comman carry me

It’s fine. Look for your next prey.

thank goodness you know you are prey
stupid child with no home training

Mabpaine:
First Duke made Cross River a state to reckon with

is reckoning putting food on their table

, one dah no northern governor achieved,

hmmm you need to see how they distribute tractors and pumping machines and fertiliser in the north

evn GEJ didnt get Bayelsa on d list as a governor.

is that one a human being?

Cross river apart frm derivatives for oil producing state av lil or nofn.

so rivers are nothing
fish are nothing abi
closeness to gas flaring to build industrial estates are nothing abi

Buh We knw Calabar for tourism.

how many ppl go there
not by christmas carnival that only indigenes attend that they wud have still gone home for christmas o

Thats a Gov dah came up wiv ideas n nt just lament.

yes ideas
but all failuer ideas

U can castigate Duke buh let it be based on d resources available

cross river oil producing during his time and small population so don't tell me about resources
did he not borrow 60billion for tinapa
who e epp
the money just languishing cos he did not think it through

n hw effective n efficiently he used it or not.

so you want another wastrel in power abi
i can see why nigeria will not move forward with such voters

If U r comparing Cross River to lagos,

why not
why are you selling cr short
is singapore as big as lagos
or seoul korea
or taiwan
or israel
ornorway,sweden,switzerland etc

then U r joking. Having said dah, wah makes Buhari or GEJ more qualified than Duke or Omisore?

they have party behind them
you hv to win to get power to do anything

Yea! Villages have d population buh we in d cities came from d village n we still av ourfamilies there.

yep

We can educate them If we are truly ready to make a positive change.

yes we shud

If we keep goin wiv this ur mentality of playing it safe cos we cant make a difference,

where did i say play it safe
are you sure you replying my mention

we will keep havin same issues. Still waiting on d answer to wah makes APC or PDP more qualified than any other person. #doYourPart

then they need to get the necessary 'qualifications'(not enough to speak grammar on social media)

Viicfuntop:
Just get out.

coman get me out

You are not making sense.

can't make sense to an slowpoke

What gives you the confidence that I voted?

if you didn't vote you are lazy
and you are 'voting'every time you yarn opata without thinking of the consequences

Joblessness has made you reply everyone.

how do you know what my job is not to reply everyone.see your brain can't think outside conventional job yet you are ranting about youth innovation

expert234:
Provide your evidence

what is your suggestion
shebi you say he is not working

You must have an entirely dead conscience to make this statement.

consience doesn't help anyone
you either want solution or you want to feel sorry for yourself

So, you too prefer Buhari's corruption?

to jonathan and pdp corruption,hell yeah
or do you have a BETTER CANDIDATE

And if your brain isn't completely evacuated,

like ur fathers brain abi

you will see that I was telling you that the two of them are corrupt. Buhari isn't better than Jonathan in corruption.

far far far far better

Only an idiot will not know this.

only a fools father will want to go back to confirmed thieves

lilfizzie:
You are a buffon. You can only write English but don't understand it. Ode omo

and you that can only insult
what does that make you

Man2utd:
As much as I want to agree with you on the points stated above, the government also has a major role to play, I have always stated this point and I will state it once again, how many of our roads and bridges are constructed by Nigerians, and we graduate thousands of civil engineers every year.

and they join stoopid council that doesn't fight for their participation in engineering projects

Buhari himself was sick and went to seek for medical help abroad, that's because he doesn't trust the Nigerian doctors.

cos they are incompetent (they shud ground the govt until proper equipment is provided but they prefer to form doctor with six figure salary until their eye clear that the salary is peanuts)
now nobody send dem

The issue of research, a sensible government will give research grant

why,there is oil money so no need for research

, to encourage people to engage in research

what have we gained from the research

or how do you expect a hungry person to think.

he is not properly hungry,trust me

1x2x3:
To slap you dey hungry me.

lazy response instead of superior argument
and if e happen na na humble last last una type de humble

Your creativity will die with you in an environment that's not enabling.

if you are truly creative you will create enabling environment

Basic amenities should be in place for a youth to function properly.

how many amenities were in place when west invented said amenities?
bad workman blames amenities

How do you research without a functioning library, no labs, electricity or security?

how did they do it in 14th century(laziness)

Buhari said we are waiting for free money and food because we are oil producing country...... How true is this?

you just said you are waiting for amenities

Do you wait for PHCN or you just forget about them and buy fuel for your gen?

why didn't you wait for amenity

I have never seen anyone the government feed freely unless you are in jail but then you have to work in jail to eat from the govt.

civil servants and rice collectors

Does the govt provide you medical care freely?

try and visiit govt hospitals to know that not everyone is fortunate like you

Do you expect them to?

yes they do

In fact I can list thousands. I challenge you to list just one thing Nigerian Govt is providing its citizens........just one thing.

what they voted for,rice,tribalism and religious nonesense

Sheuns:
You made a few points sir, but everyone cannot become programmers, I'm into programming even though I didn't study computer science in school, not because I didn't want to but admission issues and pressure made me look elsewhere cos time was going, I learnt all I know in web development today through online tutorials and videos.

What I'm driving at is Nigerian Youths (majority as said by the president) aren't lazy, it's circumstances that made some of us result to vices et al.

yet you adjusted wen circumstances were unfavorable

What we need are very few highly innovative minds

this is where the laziness is most

to help improve our current status as a country and our educational system has a major role to play in that aspect. Not everyone will be like some of us that self educate ourselves.

Quality education is very paramount to development of any nation and sadly we lack that here. The youths can do very little in reforming the education sector.

you learnt ffrom youtube
youth can teach by youtube but are too lazy to make videos

chinwey:
A hopeless statement. Nothing works in Nigeria.

yes

Is that also the fault of the Youth.

yes

When graduates will come out no job

e boku

, no light,

fix it

no health care system,

build it

nothing virtually works in Nigeria.

that means maximum jobs for hardworking ppl not lazy oil money waiters

Why wont the stupid man say so. What has he put in place for the Youth.

so if your father refuses to train you you will not survive

Youth will struggle and struggle and die as a Youth, while the fools of 70s keep holding positions of authority tight.

they struggled as youth
its not their fault you are lazy

So tell me the avenue for the Youth to work and exhibit their potentials.

agric
manufacturing
services

Why do the Nigerian Youths succeed and shine immediately they step out of the shore of this country.

because there is no oil money for them and they will starve

Stupid statement from a hopeless entity.

truth is truly bitter

This fools keeps disgracing Nigerians at any slighted opportunity he has. His son that crashed with almost 5million naira power bike, where is he working and how much is his salary per month, if actually he is engaged in any meaningful work. Lazy fools.

troy20:
You tell me

desperation(doing hard work cos no choice)is not same as working hard

Larryslim:
Not at all
Nigerian youths aren't lazy at all..
At all

can you define laziness
i dare you

pauljumbo:
I understand now so you write all this to justify the president statement on Nigeria is lazy

And you think supporting politicians when they are wrong is creative

how is he wrong

MaziOmenuko:
Are those viles you mentioned peculiar just to the Nigerian youth? There's no prostitution, drug abuse and other societal viles outside the shores of this country?

How can you even try to rationalize such a blatant and brazen blasphemy against the Nigerian youth? I can forgive him if the only youths he comes across in his life are the Northern youths which fits perfectly into what he describes, but to generalize the entire Nigerian youth into such a sick statement is a blasphemy.

northerners are farmers
what do southerners do,after school?wait for oil money.
and he said some not all youth
ua the one generalising

Let us even deliberate on the education part. Statistics from JAMB shows that over 6mil youths applied to write UME this year out of which there are only 300,00 spaces for them. A horde of uneducated youths will not be seeking admission into higher institution.

must they all go to uni
those that went what did they get out of it
mental laziness

There is no basis to try and rationalize his statement; none at all.

Mires:
I keep saying that criticisms on social network won't help us.

What's my advise?

PMB has re-educated us that we are the strength of Nigeria in terms of population.

We can used that number to our advantage.

Get your PVC ready ahead of 2019.

It is only incumbent that losses or wins an election.

I sympathize with the likes of Festus Kayamo who want to rubbish their career all because of greed.

who career epp
we're talking billions yua talking career
is it not money the career is chasing

Kennydoc:
There is a higher proportion of British youth who don't want to work but actually live on benefits, than you can ever have in Nigeria. If you want to see lazy youth, go to Europe. Have you heard any of their leaders talk down on their youth?

they have nigerian slaves to do the work so no need
who do you have?

32Million:
In all climes,there are always delinquents who suck the government....but In Nigeria where we have nothing, youths have built structures from scratch. Look at the entertainment industry, even entrepreneurial activities of young Nigerians in the midst of negativities. Since democratic return in 1999, all successive governments had failed to build infrastructures in this country- no roads, no power, no industries. We are not lazy, we channel our energy where needed!!

agric and manufacturing more important than bbnaija and davido drama.
we are llazy for not challenging the govt to provide these infra yet we show power on bbnaija and super eagles ban

Bimpe29:
Let us not mind Buhari, he takes every Nigerian youth as he is son, Yusuf. A lazy lad that rides power bike due to his refusal to work.

keep comparing yourself with yusuf

danashlaw:
Sorry house, what do you expect from a BIG FOOL President who never had experience of WAEC talkless of Degree,

who waec or degree epp

what job did His father create for the youth,

that the youth didn't do

farm work

, was it not its time that millions of people loses their jobs and yet call the youth "lazy" from another man's land(UK) does that portrait a good leadership skill or a bad one, if the youth decided to create crises

they will be shot on sight

with these statement some people will be saying something else. Let vote d Beast out of power 2019 though all d same but still with little difference better than d BIG FOOL (COW).

e be like say pdp suffer never do you

zakari247:
I wrote waec on my own with incredible grades and many across the country in places you don't know do. now tell me about the 16 years old boy of Lagos who score 345 in the just concluded jamb, again have you gone to Nigerian universities to see the strive of youths making wonderful grades. have you also been aware that Nigerian youth make the best grades abroad. have you also check how many Nigerians and youth toil every day in the sun just to get by their needs?

who gives a sht about your toil.
do you pay bricklayer toiling when it is plumber you need
good grades in bad disciplines is mental laziness

after graduation no youths are employed into government position

see as yua confirming that you are waiting for oil money

but people like the old man whom said the youths are lazy but how do they survive, they create businesses. so you fool if your area youths are so useless and they don't go to school here in the south we don't just go to school we strive to become professionals. have you also considered chimamanda adiche ain't she a youth.

she ran awy to readymade coountry
she is useless nigeria

if buhari is talking about the North he will be very correct but certainly not down south.

northerners are all farmers(hardworking) so no it is southereners who ran from farm
