no man born of a woman that doesn't want to work.

nobody wants to work......................if they can get away with it

It must not be a bricklayer job, just engage that person with little something.

engage the person or the person shud engage themselves

Bros no job at all.

plenty job on the farm and manufacturing

Some might have talent in entertainment probably have decided not to work with any company than to chase their dream, will you say they are lazy too?.

are they successful or not

It depend on how you see it. More so how encouraging is our government pay to public servant. Sometimes they owe salary for more than a month without a dine.

and the civil servants are looking like fools

Some don't pay well.

then why take the job

Even some of our private sector will use hell out of you and in the end pay you peanut.

go form your own company and share all your money to employees

I hate to hear that word Nigeria youth are lazy

what are you doing about it besides lamenting here

expert234:
Buhari is also supervising one of the highest looting of our resources that should have been used to develop the youth.

Have you ever asked yourself how much good 56 million naira would have done in the lives of Nigerians youths? Will it surprise you that Buhari's son spent the money on a power bike? Where did he get the money?

gifts from alhajis

What job or business is he doing?

provides access to the president

You guys should exercise your brains well before accusing Jonathan of corruption. Buhari isn't better than Jonathan in corruption

so you prefer jonathan corruption abi

Dammylois:
This is what brain degeneration can cause........ I know what I've gone through in life trying to survive

everbody else is thriving
ua beating ur chest for surviving

...working and schooling...

don't work or educate ursef na
who go suffer am

the sleepless night,stress overload and all,yet on man that I won't abuse

abuse na
won't change a damn thing

today will go out there nd spit rubbish

truth is truly bitter

when he's actually suppose to do the needful

what is the needful he has not done

like we do not have right to live a better life nd he didn't f..kn go all the way to get his ass on that seat because he thought he's a messiah...

what did you do?

Sexina851:
There we go again comparing and contrasting.

so what do you suggest
we shud go with jonathan abi(clueless ad a thief and a bigot) and pdp (57yrs of failure)

When will people like you realize it's not about the party.

what is it about
how will you get into office without party
get real

Instead of us to unanimously speak against what is wrong,

after speaking unanimously,what will happen

people like keep pulling us back, this politicians are sucking you dry but yet u are heads over heels for them

so you want the office to be blank
wake up

yes
wen hunger come you will see difference

Sektor101:
does it mean those of us not working wish not to work or what ?[color=#770077][/color]

Arondizuogu:
George Weah sons are footballers, Trump's kids are big time business people, Putin's daughters are dancers, Kagame's daughter works for an NGO... What work does Buhari's kids do? They are the lazy ones.

and you think finger pointing is not laziness

Smartademu:
Because it is the norm in your part of the country to cheat at ssce so you think its same for other parts of the country. Do you even think about the number of university intake from the middle belt down to the southern regions despite that the system has been skewed against them with qota system and catchment and the consequential volume of graduates they produce every year? Do you think about the various types of hustle being undertaken by these people, the various innovative ways they have employed to make ends meet in the absence of government assistance and the resultant effects of their efforts on the microeconomic indices of the nation? My friend go to construction sites, go to the markets, go to the farms, go to the secondary schools, go to the polytechnics, go to the universities, go to the banks, go to government offices, go to the streets and you will know that the Nigerian youth is not lazy and indolent like pmb think we are and if you think like him then you are as detached from the reality as he is.

yes they are if they are still breaking their backs after all the schooling.
doing labour work is not innovation

ahaika23:
Yet Buhari calls you a lazy beggar?



Buhari was actually referring to you and your family! Don't take it personal, it's just the truth!

is he lying
and your family join btw

Mabpaine:
Donald duke

who donald epp
is cross river developed?
did tinapa succeed(white elephant)

is there, Sowore is there.

noisemaker(expert)
politician(learner)no party,no structure,depend on internet that is miinor minority while election is about majority in villages with no light or network or data

If those ones mess up, we keep changin till we get it right. We cant be recycling bullshit

Viicfuntop:
What’s your point

you lazily refuse to think before 'voting'
and yet angry wen ua called lazy

mank1234:
Our politicians are actually the lazy ones. They 're the freeloaders and our president is one of them. They do nothing other than to protect oil installations and always look forward to sharing oil revenue and tax without actually thinking how the population can be made to be more productive.

and what do you do.......nothing and yet expect oil money to fall on you

Very soon our president will start blaming yet to be born babies for our woes. It's rather unfortunate that we still have another 5yrs to endure this lack of direction.

Xander85:
Listen, there's no body of people that would be put through what our youth have been put through and not have issues!

israelites were massacred by germans and are surrounded by 7 hostile genocidic neighbors
what have you been put through

Given the circumstances, i'd even argue the Nigerian youth has tried, holding their heads above the water the way they have. Their major problem has been the so called adults/leaders we've had since independence,

they were youth wen they took over(no experience,no education)

of which Buhari is among and a major participant.

JerryQ:
lol, Mr President doesn't know the number of university graduates selling tomatoes and onions due to lack of better opportunities .

what is wrong with selling tomatoes and onions
what do you think americans do or is it illiterates that work in ketchup or tin tomato companies?

Saying the Nigerian youth doesn't want to go to school is not true, over 1.5 million students just wrote JAMB and many wont be given admission because the universities can't take as much not that they didn't score above 200.

more laziness
he said they are not in school not they don't want to go

What about corp members that just did their POP, many without hope of securing a 100k Job for God knows how long.

farming is a 100k or more job
why are they running from it if not for laziness?

The fact is that many of the Nigerian youths are beginning to question education because their elder brother who graduated 5 years ago with a 2.1 earns N30k as a teacher from the N-Power scheme while musicians and big brother representatives who didn't necessarily go to higher institutions as much are awarded with terrible millions.

because they did not take their education serious unlike the entertainers who made necessary sacrifce to be successful
but no you rather covet another persons success like the lazy youth they are

The actual failures here are our leaders and i don't know when they will start seeing it that way

when voters stare them down in non lazy way

. How many companies did we build over the last 5 years to take in our fresh graduates?

how many companies do western societies build to take in youth?
stop waiting for oyel money

what are the plans on ground for the youths of this country that can actually propel them to greater heights.

still waiting for plans abi since 1960(57yrs).very lazy youth

When are we going to have constant power supply to our us some ease as we the youths go online to work for ourselves.

when you make it happen.stop being lazy

Do we even have security ?

who does?
do you think it falls from heaven

i am so shocked that this is how the number one citizen of my country defines us to the whole world.

no,it is how the world defines you.he just said it out loud

You have a good business idea you can't access funds from government

oil money abi

which is opposite to what is seen in the western world.

name one such country

Did he notice the over 160,000 business proposals that were recently submitted to Tony Elumelu for funding from the African youths, Nigerians being a majority. I am disappointed at the least from Mr President on this matter. #wearenotlazy

how many did he fund
how many when he was uba ceo
and yet lazy youth still opened accounts to make him rich

fabuloz1:
I sincerely wrote Waec on my own without even thinking of backing it up with Neco or Gce.
”Genuine search for development and sustainable peace must therefore begin with youth empowerment and entrepreneurship” - Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan (speaking at University of Oxford on October 24, 2016)
Genuine search to empower the youth is highly commendable and not gallivanting the whole continents searching for negative comments to disseminate. Leadership is not all about words but action

which action did jonathan take(bought 53 gold iphones)
obj nko
abegi

Pearl05:
See them. Someone should help me pack this one and his likes to far away planet.

is like you don't understand how freedom of speech works
even the dictatorship you are still lazily waiting for oil money topack him for you

guiddoti:
haha were they part of the mace runners?

hehe

enlady:
Your argument is too shallow to dignify with a debate.
You are quoting already established companies in Nigeria as evidence of contemporary foreign direct investment? Some of this firms have been in business in Nigeria before you were born.

apart from dangote
which of them is local
do you know what fdi is?
abeg stop pretending about what you know not of.
it just shows the mental laziness we talking about

OkoYibo:
Do you know that Buhari wouldn't address his cows the way he addressed Nigerian youths some of who voted for him. He has more respect for his animals than Nigerians who voted for him.

Buhari's destiny is to disgrace himself and his name. Our Job as patriotic Nigerians is to ensure he fulfils his destiny by getting maximum disgrace at the polls in 2019.

but laziness won't allow you

Ijaya123:
As Buhari has once again embarrassed & disgraced his own country at a global forum, it is now crystal clear why he is not allowed to engage the media at home because there is a disconnect between his views & happenings in the land, hence his reckless statement anytime he speaks without a script.

Three years running now and not a single media chat. A president who doesn't know that his IG flouted his order.

is he lying
all obj and jonathan chat
who e epp
how you benefit

We obviously have a president who is not in charge.

agreed

thanks to hausas and yorubas for voting for clueless fisherman when he was a nobody

ANNOY:
Thanks to the yorubas and hausas for electing this bastardized dead man

Viicfuntop:
Seriously, who are the weirdos on this forum that are going to vote for this man?

a weirdo is one who votes for party that failed for 57 years and says stealing is not corruption

Babacele:
What President Buhari said about the youth is wrong given what his generation has done to us

what did they do to you

and we shall extract a sincere apology from him for such a thoughtless generalization.

hahahahahaha i love your ....suggestion

Despite that , Buhari is better than Jonathan when we compare their actions which are more eloquent than any political speech. A president who pretended Chibok never happened while kidnappers had enough time to escape ; or who sabotaged national by encouraging the stealing defence budget thereby exposing our young soldiers women ,children and youths to terrorism cannot be said to love the youths: it is a complete hogwash.

that jonathan was a calamity

Sirjamo:
He believed in the youth, but supervises the highest looting of the resources that should have been used to develop the youth! abegi, I am not interested in that crap.

what can he do when you all support the looting by defending your thief village ppl in office

spyder880:
I work with lots of Nigerian youths everyday and can assure you that the young people who work for me are the best. These men and women work very hard to earn a living, take care of their families and even improve themselves educationally.

hunger doesn't give them a choice

The only thing missing is government support to provide electricity and security to enable young people unleash their full potentials.

this is the laziness we are talking about.cos you have seen crumbs to eat you refuse to think that the govt will only provide electricity and security when you fight for it.but laziness make you to prefer to pray and lament online

oyatz:
PDP need rebranding by replacing most of its leaders with Technocrats, seasoned economists, discipled retired military brass , returned Nigerians from diaspora , activits and young achievers that are patriotic to effect positive changes in Nigeria.

will they kidnap them?
the technocrats and diaspora all prefer to rant online instead of joining the fight.
all waiting for oil money

Omooba77:
Is Seun lazy? If Nairaland were to be a developed country platform, Seun will be a 'multi' millonaire by now and lalasticlala will be behind the wheel of a Rose Ross.
Do you know how many youth paid through their education hustling; but our old Baba whose son can waste #157m on bikes call us lazy... Ayele ibosi ooooo...

will nairaland feed nigerians

Omooba77:
Google is your friend sir; you can check how industrious and enterprising Nigerian youths are all over the world. Check what many are doing here too sir.

all putting the cart before the horse(read laziness galore)

pauljumbo:
We like to insults ourselves

Tell me one country in the world that have creative youths that will thrive in Nigeria

every single western(read white) country will
if they come here they will mechanise agric and invest in power generation to industrialise
meanwhile if they take you to there country you will wreck it all in 20 years

Omooba77:
God bless you sir. Leave it or take it 75% of Nigeria youth are not lazy. Why do Nigeria excel academically,sportingly and otherwise abroad?

because they are all looking for easy way out.that is the very definition of laziness

Omooba77:
Was this what life used to be for the whole country pre May 2015 sir?
Please tell me what infrastructural project on going anywhere in the country.

who infrastructure epp(useless airports and secretariats and flyovers)

I guess you are a youth, let us stop defending all these old men.There is a limit to every generation oga. God bless you sir.
As for me and my younger ones, we are not lazy and dont need to depend on any government hands down to survive.

youth shaming will not work
youth are lazy
face it or continue to suffer
depend na,hunger go teach you the hard way

CodeTemplar:
Mentally they are. physically they not so lazy. The physical can be manipulated with chemicals and that is what we see daily with tramadol addicts.

laziness is mental not physical
