"Nigerian youths are lazy & uneducated. Always wanting free oil money" ~ PMB

Sir, you are absolutely correct. One of the lazy Nigerian youths who is enjoying free oil money had an accident with the power bike he bought with free oil money not too long ago, and he was flown abroad for treatment with free oil money, then he hired a jet with free oil money from London to Abuja after his treatment.

Sir, I completely agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy and uneducated and always wanting free oil money. Their role models are in Aso Rock enjoying free oil money without even solving any problem for the country. When they are ill, they fly abroad for medical vacation with free oil money.

Why would anyone disagree with you that the Nigerian youths are uneducated? It's very obvious. That's why they don't even know their rights. They keep defending your ineptitude.

You enjoyed free education as a young man, but today the youths are deprived of basic education. You were a governor, a petroleum commissioner and ahead of states as a youth, but today, youths are on social media defending your failures.

Honestly, I agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy, that's why you ruled Nigeria as a youth and have also grabbed the job as an old man. The youths are too ignorant to even know the implication of your comments. They don't even know you and your fellow old men are doing jobs they should ordinarily be doing.

Sir, the most interesting aspect of this your truth is that you said it in a country where their government provides basic infrastructures, almost free education, free WiFi, free health care, almost free investment loans for their youths. While, in your own country, these lazy and uneducated youths, provide their own electricity, schools, security, roads, healthcare etc.. Yet, the indolent youths use their "free oil money" to buy mobile data to defend your ineptitude.

Sir, let me remind you that we have seen so many Nigerian youths who were almost useless in Nigeria, but when they cross over to the western world, they suddenly begin to excel in different fields of endeavor. What do you think is responsible for their positive output in the foreign land? Your guess is as good as mine, Sir- The difference is not farfetched. A responsible government plan for their youths and create enabling environment for the youths to be able to create wealth and contribute to National development. Can we say the same of your own country? Certainly Not! Instead, we have lazy, uneducated youths who would hang on telecommunication masts and electric cables to shout SAI BABA when you visit their states. I only wish they knew better.

Sir, Finally, let me ask you, Sir, apart from the free oil money we have been paying you since your days as a youth till date, what have you been able to make out for yourself on your own? Do you have thriving businesses that are providing employment for the Nigerian youths? Have you invented anything on your own? Sir, you can now see that this free oil money is what has kept you going for over 50 years. Perhaps this laziness is not limited to the youths alone, I guess some 75-year-old incompetent presidents are also lazy and love free oil money, that's why they want to remain in power till they are 80 years old. If we take away the free oil money we have been paying you and audit your life, are you sure you will have any worth, Sir?

I leave you to your conscience, Sir.

Big boys in terms of what?
Big boys my foot.
All what qualified them as so called big boys came from the white man's world...even the camera that preserved the memory belongs to the white.
So what then made them to be called big boys when they all lived a borrowed life?
And you just typed into a white man's phone to devalue them. Your case is funny as you are so blind to the irony. Hows the borrowed life going for you?

Funny Peeps everywhere

Must you attach tribalism to everything?
If I may ask how old are you?
What I simply pointed out is that as far back as that time, Western cloths can only be sourced right from abroad as there were no shops and tailors to provide them.
The pictures you uploaded,why was the chief and his people not wearing shoes? They were only draped in tie and die and local fabrics available to the rich then.

Nonsense! No clothes in 1913? Are you ok sir?
Yes am very ok.
I should be asking you that ,coupled with how old are you?
Common sense would have told you that it was not easy as it is now to source European cloths and shoes etc. You have to source them directly from over there abroad,which would consume a whole lot of money.
It was much later in the year that kingsway and other supermarkets sprung up to avail us with these services.
