Nigerians and hypocrisy!
To start with, massive thanks to Ustadh Sirnucy lafiagi who has been of significant help in shedding light on this issue, his posts have always been educative and it has been of huge help in putting this together!!
#LazyNigeriaYouths
Nigerians and hypocrisy like 5&6 has been glued and only a supernatural force can bring separation!!
The latest Buhari's statement about youths has indeed exhibited the intelligence and stupidity in many so to say. The most pathetic part is those who tends to be elites but also present themselves as shenanigans!! Funny enough, some of them didn't even read the statement talk less of comprehending it, yet they jumped into nasty and annoying conclusions just as a result of what they were been told by their fellow crooks!!
Kindly note the fact that I'm neither a Pdpig nor Apsick, but rather a fan of reality, so thinking he is a Buharist or whatever is at your own peril.
Now delving into the issue, here is the bypassed statement of Buhari;
“…And then the economy, we have a very young
population. Our population is estimated conservatively
to be 180 million– this is a conservative one. More
than 60% of the population is below the age of 30.A lot
of them haven’t been to school, and they are claiming
that Nigeria has been an oil producing country and
therefore they should sit and do nothing, get housing,
healthcare, education free"
Shall we say there's no more difference between some/a lot/almost??
breaking this down, Most: 1: greatest in quantity, extent, or degree.
2 : the majority
A lot: a large number or amount; a great deal.
Most: 35/60, 40/60, 45/60, 50/60 55/60, 59/60
A lot: 20/60, 25/60, 30/60
Thus, one who sincerely peruse over the statement could easily point to the fact President Buhari was referring to uneducated youths whom despite not being educated still expect everything to come to them on a platter of gold. And pertinent to mention he wasn't referring to all of them. Is Buhari wrong with this?? And to those ranting here and there on social media, are they uneducated? Are they expecting things to come to them easily?? Now they keep uploading pictures of youths struggling here and there, why are they not uploading pictures of Cyber crime youths, why don't they upload pictures of youths at oritas hailing rich men for money, why did they choose not to upload pictures of youths at bet9ja shops?? See hypocrisy!!
And as a matter of fact, this kept me wondering if all their rants was a sincere one, or is it because the statement was coming from Buhari this time around??
When David Cameron address Nigeria as a fantastically corrupt country all these ranting youths were saying nothing!!
When Atiku said Nigerian public varsities graduates cannot compete
with his secondary school students, those ranting on social media now were no where to be found then
“There is no student in public universities that can
speak English in an error-free manner like the head boy
of my secondary, who just finished addressing us now.”

When Governor Dickson of Bayelsa state said
"Bayelsans are lazy gossipers. They want everything
free. They are not ready to work. How do I repair the
turbine when no one is ready to pay for services."

Conclusively, for those saying that in a "saner clime" like
America, you can never hear the POTUS calling his
people lazy, here's Maazi Barack Obama referring to
the entire American people (not just the youth or a
certain demographic) as LAZY!!!

When. Awolowo himself shade them back then, they kept mute
“The trouble with many Nigerian youths is that they
sleep too much, play too much; and indulge too much
in idle chatter and gossip.”

book, "People’s Rights to Free Education At All Levels."

No one attacked him then, No one attacked these people then, so why quoting Buhari haphazardly now!! Is that not hypocrisy?!!
One of the reasons why we are still backward as a nation is hypocrisy, and Nigeria will be great again when we are not being mal-judgemental, when we are being sincere in our approaches and not being partial!! Once again I'm neither a PDP member nor APC fan, but rather a fan of reality. Stay blessed.
