That aptly describe idiotic pigs who always drag for first to insult buhari, becos of likes, even when the topic is not related to buhari

People like this who doesn't think like humans nor behave like one.

Youths like this are a curse to Nigeria.

“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.

What is really wrong about being first to comment? If I understand the matters arising before others, I should speak out. Most people's mental mechanism doesn't process things promptly. So if you wait for their opinion it will be like PMBS careful ponderings over ministerial nominees for a whole six months.

The prof. is simply talking about youths always rushing to comment on issues without first understanding what it is all about. Take nairaland topics as a case study. Some will just come online, look at others comments and start saying all sorts of things without taking the time to read the thread

I'm very much disappointed with u soyinka. Talk to our rulers. They are the problems of Nigeria. Not the youths that have been sidelined
He said nothing but the truth. Our leaders haven't been the best, but the youths have had their fair shares in contributing to the problem in the nation. Our generation would do much worse in power!

Of course ,Prof. Wole Soyinka is a Nairalander. What do you expect from a Noble Laureate who had written several landmark literature books, plays and drama. Participated in internationally acclaimed discussions not be current with the happenings around him.
The Prof that has already written his names in gold while alive.
Prof. You shall live long for this comment on our youths.

Faulty analysis!!! Are the youths in power

Dear Wole Soyinka, the youths are not the problems of Nigeria!!!

The old greedy, corrupt, sitting on the wall (like yourself), old men are!!!

Please face them and leave the youths alone!!!

Wole Soyinka is on point. From my experience on Nairaland, many make comments on headline without reading the contents and this is very misleading.
