The truth is that members of Generation Z are the children of Generation X and late Baby Boomers.

They are digital natives and their deft control of the social media is hereby acknowledged but the above truth can NEVER change. undecided

Bury that talk. I'm personally not Desmond's mate.

I also know some protesters in their 50s who were also on the streets . That mentality is a Nigerian thingy. Even in universities, you'll see young lecturers who haven't even starting growing pubic hair refering to students as kids, children etc.

Igbo’s Are always bold and they speak out their mind all the time


Hausa’s don’t understand what he is saying

Youruba’s are always afraid to speak up


Meanwhile Desmond Pride goes before every fall

I Hope I made sense

I still insist that term children is appropriate.

They are neither his age mates nor peers.

Social media is really a problem. Someone sat in the comfort of his or her room and thwarted Desmond Elliot's speech. Now people that didn't watch the video will believe this quicker than watching the video.

... this is making Desmond Elliot's speech true after all. We need to put a lid on social media.

Those who paid you to behave like an idiot chose their fool very well.

Since your destiny is very useless to you, why not get paid to use it for the defense of stupidity?!
