“From A First Class Graduate Making and Selling Ogi, to a Lawyer Selling Small Chops and an Engineer Turned Shoemaker” – Nigeria Women Prove They Are Not #LazyNigerianYouths
Nigerian youths are not happy with President Buhari and they have shown their displeasure on social media through the hashtag #LazyNigerianYouths.
While answering a question at the ongoing Commonwealth Head of Governments Meeting in the UK, the president said that, a lot of Nigerian youths haven’t been to school but are claiming that, because Nigeria has been an oil-producing country, they would sit and do nothing but get basic amenities for free.
As expected, this statement did not go down well with a lot of people, so, they decided to show their displeasure by showcasing their achievements despite the condition of the country.
From a lawyer who now sells shawarma, to a first class graduate of Microbiology who now sells pap, Nigerian youths show that they are not #LazyNigerianYouths
Below is the President’s speech
FAVOUR ONYEOZIRI (GCFR)@RouvafeThis is the most falsified representation of Nigerian Youths I’ve ever heard of. Nigerians have never acted entitled, most of us do not even know what it means to be an Oil Producing Country, we buy petrol at exorbitant rates….#LazyNigerianYouths
