Why Are So Many Nigerian Youths So Useless? by Rossinky: 9:54pm On Sep 28, 2020
One useless youth just posted a thread claiming ''Nigeria is now the most dangerous place on earth.''

Someone needs to send his ass to Syria, Yemen, or Afghanistan.

This is how you people end up as slaves in Libya and Lebanon, eating dog food thrown at you by racist Arabs and getting forced to suck their nuts, as is happening with Nigerians there as we speak.

And then you will go on Youtube to make videos begging the Nigerian govt to send you planes to return home to the ''most dangerous country on earth''.

Useless self-haters. Go and cross the Sahara desert like your fellow dumb Nigerian youths, even as the Chinese, Indians and Lebanese are rushing into this same country to make big money starting from nothing.

Is it not in this same Nigeria that INNOSON started by selling spare parts, to form the biggest black-owned vehicle manufacturing company on the face of the earth?

Is it not in this same Nigeria that your mates are forming startups that are attracting millions of dollars in investment funds from Silicon Valley and elsewhere?

Go to Yaba and see what even your juniors are doing, simply by using their brains and being positive.

In this same Nigeria there are people who own BLOGS that earn them millions of naira each month.

Blogs that you can start for FREE online.

Useless youths.

In my day, we had no internet, no mobile phones, no smartphones, nothing.

For every business deal we had to get on a danfo or Molue, or bus and travel, HOPING to meet our business partner on desk. If he wasn't, we'd get on the bus and return home. Sometimes these were journeys across the country. Why? because nothing like phone. That was in the 1990s!!! Just yesterday!

There was nothing like DSTV. It was NTA or nothing. And they shut down at 11pm.

Sometimes 10.

Nothing like supporting Man U, Chelsea, or Arsenal.

Who dash you that one?

A good night in was sitting home to watch Village Headmaster, with Sisi Clara and Amebo.

Or 'Masquerade', with Chief Zebrudaya, alias 4.30.

Yet we never hated the country the way you useless youths do today.

Today you can start an entire business on your smartphone in your pyjamas, in your bedroom.

You can go on Youtube and learn ANY skill or business you want, free of charge.

There's a Lagos girl who learnt on Youtube how to bake exotic cakes, and now has a flourishing business making millions of naira a month. She started by baking the cakes herself, then she trained some girls to do it for her. Now all she does is post images on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram of her cakes. She can't even handle all the orders. She's overwhelmed.

Meanwhile, some of her lazy friends are working as oloshos and blaming the Nigerian government for their 'predicament'.

I laugh when I hear you youths complaining about ''insecurity'', and ''Fulani herdsmen''.

Today, 'insecurity' means something you read in the newspapers that happened to people in some remote village in Plateau state, or in faraway Borno state.

In my day, 'insecurity' lived with us directly at home, with armed robbers all over the place. Coming to your house. Stopping you on the street to shoot you and seize your car. Streets were deserted after 8pm.

THAT is what we call insecurity.

Yet we never hated Nigeria and called it a ''shiithole'', ''zoo'', and such vile names.

So, keep on hating your fatherland.

Go and cross the Sahara and become a slave, washing plates or sucking nuts like your fellow dullards.

Awon useless.

Frustration over what?

Is Nigeria not a developing country?

Nigeria is a relatively poor country with a miserable annual budget of 35 billion dollars for 200 million people.

By contrast South Africa's annual budget is 125 billion dollars.

USA, 7.6 TRILLION dollars.

UK, France, Germany etc, all post annual budgets of 1.6. to 2 trillion dollars per annum.

Our youths have this idea that Nigeria is this really rich, wealthy country that only needs to share its resources better, and 'end corruption', for it to become ''like UAE'' and ''Dubai''.

Meanwhile our number one issue is economic diversification away from the meagre oil and gas revenues, to raise govt revenues.

In other words, for people to get off their asses and start businesses all over the country.

The opportunities are endless once you have a Positive Mindset.

Stop deceiving yourself. Corruption will NOT end in Nigeria.

Except perhaps by divine intervention.

There are many other countries with more corruption than Nigeria, but they are moving ahead.

Check Transparency International's index. We are only two places below Kenya on the index, and a couple more places below Russia.

So our main problem is not corruption. It is low govt revenues to implement development programmes and initiatives.

The oil money is TINY compared to what we require.

It is not the government the people are stupid in Nigeria which chased is a company out of the country three years later he is sending his children to look for job in that same company in another country expecting his children to be employment. The government has nothing to do with it Nigerians and naturally stupid go and see them in UK and America running after criminals up and down the place. Recently I was just looking at a seed company which left a state in southwest the same idiots which chased the seed company out of the country is now sending their children to look for job in that same company in another country expecting their children to be employed in literacy is Nigeria's problem

First of all, it is obvious from your write-up that YOUR problem is semi-literacy and lack of exposure.

I guess that's the fault of the Nigerian govt.

No, I'm not a civil servant. I am self-employed. As companies are closing, others are opening up, based on demand for their services. This is a worldwide phenomenon. In the USA, many manufacturing companies have shut down, to be replaced by other types of firms, in the services, high tech industries etc etc, leading many Americans to re-skill and enter new sectors, or enter self-employment. What they DON'T do is sit around twiddling their fingers and BLAMING the govt in perennial disgruntlement. They just get on with life. You do the same, Mr Finger pointer, or rot in hell.

Oil money is tiny indeed I guess your not from Niger Delta that's why you can say this boldly. Though you have a point, the youths need to be smart and stop blaming but find solutions. One of those solutions is acknowledging that we're not heading in the desired direction as a Nation with this kind of leaders, thus we need to change them. Leaders that raise taxes without useful projects that all can see, leaders that slash salaries and delay payments for months
We must acknowledge that with better leaders we'll be far better today with people-oriented policies. So stop covering up the fact. It will help.
NIGERIA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN. GOD BLESS US.

Dude, there is NO COUNTRY ON EARTH that has 200 million or more people, with an annual budget of 35 billion dollars, that is ''doing well, with people-oriented policies''.

NONE, and Nigeria cannot be the first, even with zero corruption.

This delusion that we are a rich country is the single biggest contributor to the uselessness of you Nigerian youth.

It discourages you, and keeps you too disgruntled to get up and do things for yourself and for the country.

The USA provides help for private sector so that people will not loosing their source of income. But here in Nigeria government said they release money to private sector the money that not accessible by many organizations.

Government keeps increasing taxes during economic crises how is that policy would bring the investors to the country?

Over 530 large manufacturing companies have shut down in the last 3 years in the USA:

And that number is set to rise exponentially following the recent lockdowns in that country, which is leading to decimation of businesses across the land.

EXACTLY. That is another serious problem with you Nigerian youths. Because of your colonial indoctrination, you live under a sub-conscious delusion that ''outside Nigeria'' or ''abroad'' means ''UK, Germany, USA, Luxembourg, South Africa''. In other words, developed countries.

But do you realise that developed countries comprise less than 20% of the world's nations?

The overwhelming majority of nations on earth are developing countries like Nigeria.

Peru, Honduras, Zambia, Gambia, Pakistan, Guinea, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, India, Angola, Malawi, Guinea Bissau, Morocco, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Haiti, Mozambique, Jamaica, Bolivia, Mexico, Ethiopia, Bhutan, Mali, Chile, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Yemen, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Togo, Venezuela, Chad, Cambodia, Burma, Uganda, Costa Rica, Sri Lanka, Mauritania, Liberia, Nepal, etc etc.

These, and more, are the majority nations of the earth. Not ''USA'' or ''Germany''.

It is because when you people travel overseas, or read about foreign lands, 9 times out of 10, it is that tiny strata of 'developed countries' that you visit, or focus on, and that is why you keep comparing Nigeria to those countries, and it keeps you so disgruntled and angry, with an inferiority complex that makes you imagine Nigeria is a ''failed state'', and such silly sentiments.

Broaden your horizon. Travel to the REAL world of fellow developing nations, and you will see that they all have serious issues similar to what we have in Nigeria, which stem from being nations in development.

Then eventually you just might shed your anger and low self-esteem, and realise that life is meant to be lived, wherever, and regardless.

The highlighted shows the level of deep ignorance and foolishness of many of you Nigerian youths.

Are you aware that over 100 MILLION Europeans were killed in the last century by their leaders in warfare and genocide?

Are you aware that Josef Stalin, the former Soviet leader of Russia, was directly responsible for the death of an estimated 30 million Russians?

I haven't even started on Hitler, Mussolini, or Pol Pot.

We are talking about a country that systematically kills its citizen in peace time.

Stalin killed his people in 'peacetime'. AS did Pol Pot.

Germans were at peace before Hitler decided to start killing millions of people.

The Ukrainian genocide of the 1930s which killed 8 million people occurred in conditions of general peace.

The Kazakhstan genocide occurred in 'peacetime', and killed 42% of the entire population of Kazakhstan.

The Cambodian genocide of the 1970s resulted in the annihilation of 35% of the population of that country.

Stop making excuses for atrocities committed elsewhere, out of self-hate.

Admit that your country is not the worst place on earth by any calculation, and stop hating your background and heritage.

None of the countries that are developing unleash their security forces on the youth, I pity idiots like you.

I just named you a FEW countries that did far worse than that, engaging in wholesale massacres of their people, including ''their youth''.

The Cambodian genocide of the 1970s resulted in the annihilation of 35% of the population of that country.

Stop making excuses for atrocities committed elsewhere, out of self-hate.

Admit that your country is not the worst place on earth by any calculation, and stop hating your background and heritage.



I just named you a FEW countries that did far worse than that, engaging in wholesale massacres of their people, including ''their youth''.

Onukwu.

You sound just like this APC govt

You keep referencing 1930's, we are talking about present day massacres in Nigeria where they have to ask your useless leader why Christians are being killed

Anyway your point seems to be that the youth are the problem of Nigeria right?
And my point is that u can't loot the future and expect miracles.

Khazastan's story
The World Bank report shows that Kazakhstan, as of 2015, reached the level of an upper-middle-income country with GDP 170 billion US$. Foreign direct investment increased 30 percent in 2015 in Kazakhstan's agricultural industry and 80 percent in the country's petroleum products sector

Khazastan's Youth Policy
The tasks of the state youth policy shall be: 1) protection of rights and legal interests of youth; 2) involvement of youth to the social-economic and socio-political life of the country; 3) education of citizenship and strengthening the feeling of the Kazakhstan patriotism.

Have you ever heard of a Nigerian youth plan? Pls don't reference n-power, instead the budget for education keeps shrinking!
Are you getting what I am saying? If you don't plan for your youth, don't expect some miracle to happen, at least can you understand that simple logic??

@Rossinky you sound like a pompous, self-righteous and ignorant person.

Nigerian youths are not as entitled as you might think. For every lazy youth, there are also hardworking ones who work their socks off blue collar jobs to make ends meet.
You really think those girls who traveled to Lebanon thought they were going there to pick dollars on the street? Of course they knew they were going to do domestic jobs but felt the returns will be far better than doing that same job here. It's the same thinking that holds for the doctor or engineer who migrates to Canada or UK. Such migration is not due to laziness. Rather, it's a desperate search for a better life.

As for the YouTube, Twitter etc that we have today. As much as they are an instrument of economic and social liberation, so can they also be an instrument of distraction. I beg to name BBNaija and European football as two of such. While they provide employment and a source of hope to some youths, they remain a distraction for the critical mass to become unaware of what holds in their environment.

You seem to think your generation was far better. Yet it was that same generation of yours that watched while the nation was ravaged. You enjoyed free education in the south. Where is it today? As at the 70s/80s even early 90s, Nigeria was indeed a rich nation. But you all watched idly by while the riches were pilfered by government after government till we have nothing left now. $35bn to 200m people is not necessarily a sign of poverty. The sign is in the cost of living vis a vis per capita income. Compare both indices in the past years to what we have now.

Our problem as a nation is that we have leaders who are well disconnected from the country they claim to lead. Pray tell. How can Buhari find a solution to our education or health sector when his children all schooled in the UK while he and his family go abroad for routine medical needs. Are you going to blame the youths for that as well?

Let me give you a hard fact. Nigeria is not poor. It's the thinking of the manager of her commonwealth that is poor. They don't care nor are they mindful of investing in the youth you disparage. Do you know okada is the biggest employer of labour in Nigeria right now? Why so? Is it because the youths are lazy? How can a government look to spend $1.9bn on a rail far into the desert when we have four comatose refineries that are not working? You mean if that same amount is put into one of them, it still won't work.
I agree with you. The youths need to become more conscious of their society and the need to take control.
But I disagree that the reason they can't do so is because they're lazy. They're simply incapacitated.

Why are you complaining about time? Your quote was that ''no nation has EVER killed her people as much as Nigeria''.

Something I easily showed was a complete, demented falsehood.

When will you apologise for that disgusting, false smear against Nigeria?

Or you think you can just come online and make any false allegation and smear, and then carry on as usual?

Now you've come up with some dodgy nonsense about ''youth plans''.

A pity that 42% of Kazakhs who were genocided by their own government couldn't participate in their ''youth plan''.

Is it ok for the Nigerian govt to slaughter 42% of the Nigerian population, and then draw up a ''youth plan'' for the survivors?

What is the Nigerian youth plan?
Isn't Northern Nigeria a good example of the failure to plan for a growing young population ?
Yourbas have a saying 'the child you don't train would sell the house you build'
Continue acting dumb, perhaps it's not an act

The Soviet census of 1926 estimated the population of the Kazakhstan ASSR at 6.2 million, with approximately four million Kazakhs and the remainder comprised of comprising European colonial populations and local minorities, including Russians, Ukrainians, and Poles

How many Igbos died in the war?

Dumbass
