President Muhammadu Buhari has berated Nigerian youths for being 'uneducated' and 'not ready to work'.
President Buhari, while speaking during a panel discussion at the Commonwealth business forum in Westminster, London, expressed displeasure with youths in Nigeria because they were dependent on revenue from oil to survive.
He said the youths, who make up 60 percent of the population, were waiting to get social amenities free without doing anything.
"And then the economy. We have a very young population and our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. The 60 percent of the population is below the age of 30. A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country and therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free,"
The moderator had asked Buhari to give his final thoughts on the issues discussed. The President said he had fulfilled his campaign promises by improving on the nation’s security and the economy.

Why won't she, she will miss all the unconditional care and love.
My prayer , Lord Jesus, let my future husband be as doting as my dad. Amen.
pcguru1: They say nice people have character defect and they are usually compensating for something. So the gifting is usually to feel good about themselves or create an impression
BabbanBura: I need one Nairalander to bring here? Who is interested? She must not be a 'digger', neither a 'general somebody'. Interested person doesn't have to be fair or tall. Neither bootilicious nor voluptuous. All bill including a nice meal on me - Just for fun!
QuitNotice: Op na only one peacock dey for your game reserve? OK oo. Abi na only me still de look for lions, hyenas, impala, buffalo, etc. We the Nat geo wild fans want to see a visit to Nigeria abeg
The peacocks are the cutest things there, very welcoming. If you are lucky green snakes might cross your lane. .
If you are very lucky, the day you visit, lion fit show from forest.
Oga be selfless. Most men drop & pick their wives and kids not because the latters can't drive but its just because they have a big heart.
There is no big deal being your wife's driver for this two weeks. It will make her love and respect you more. Make her miss your absence. Be a doting husband and father.
UDUJ: SirToby please don’t bring religion into this. God is not punishing you for any activity you feel you did
You suffer from Anxiety. Anxiety is a mental health disorder and affects over 60% of Nigerians but because of the way our society is designed we decide not to treat it cause of the supposed stigma attached to such. When people think of anxiety, they think of worrying and stress. They think of fears and a feeling as though something is going to go wrong. Anxiety is seen in thoughts and actions.
But anxiety has a tremendous physical component, and one of the key contributors to those physical sensations is long term stress. This Stress has a tremendous impact on your health, and one of the most common conditions is feeling ill.
The stress from anxiety can cause feelings of very genuine sickness. These feelings often mimic the way illnesses make you feel. Your stomach can feel like it's rumbling and you may even feel like you are having fever or malaria. Feeling sick may be a sign that you've fallen ill, but it can also be a clear sign of anxiety.
When we are stressed and the stress is a prolonged one (e.g. grief), it is physically very hard on the body to maintain this stress response for a prolonged period, so we have to find ways to take our body out of this stress response. Some of these ways are spending time with friends, counselling, medication, mindfulness, making sure we eat and sleep enough, massage, hypnosis etc. There are lots of different things that can help.
Anxiety can weaken your immune system, increasing the risk of suffering from mild illness.
Feeling ill is something that often causes concern. Some people feel so sick that they vomit or experience profound nausea that keeps them away from their activities. Some people experience more than just nausea as well. They may experience other symptoms that are similar to catching a fever, malaria or flu. They may feel like their organss are swollen, or their tongue is dry. They may feel lightheaded. They may even cough or experience severe stomach discomfort, like indigestion.
When anxiety is causing these symptoms, they're not dangerous. Anxiety is simply your body's misfiring of the body's natural fight or flight response, and the way your body reacts is designed to make sure that you know you're supposed to be fearful. The problem isn't the signals themselves, the problem is that you're experiencing them all the time, often when it is inconvenient. People feel these symptoms for different reasons:
Situational anxiety is actually natural. It's inconvenient, but it's natural. Back in school, if you felt severe illness before a big test, it's because you genuinely feared that test. While tests shouldn't provide that fear, the reaction is not unexpected.
But on the other hand, the one you should fear and what I think you have is Feelings of chronic illness from anxiety which is even more problematic, because when your anxiety won't go away, the feeling of being ill won't go away either. It becomes something that makes you feel worse about your health, saps your energy, and can ruin each and every day (all symptoms you are feeling now).
My recommendation: go to the clinic and see a trained therapist. He will prescribe some good anti-depressants. You will be okay.
SirToby: yeah in my head i agree. i have been a little bit idle. i'm a lil bit weak due to lack of good sleep. i have work to do but no motivation to do it, eyes are always red. last time I had a good sleep was on Friday.
If you are idle, try get busy. When you done with work, see movies, listen to music, chat, come on Nairaland
Then it could be nutritional deficiency. So take lots of fruits like orange, banana, pineapple, berries, nuts, vegetables and most important milk or yoghurt before you sleep.
Then write out all your worries, promise yourself not to think about them and discard it.
You can also visit the pharmacy for some antidepressants recommended by a pharmacist. Also use the opportunity to check your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is normal then you are fine
Just calm down okay. You will be fine.
You na omo pastor, pray k, prayer is a divine reliever.
