if Nigerian Youths are lazy, you would not see them on platforms like this. the real problem is, the system of government is not favouring the youths.

Point of correction Buhari never made this statement, he was only misinterpreted, and angry Nigerians spread a false rumor

Some are,but that doesn't mean all Nigerian youths are lazy.

Yes. It is very true that most Nigerian youths are lazy. The youths keep using "there is no job in Nigeria" as a means to engage in crime. If there is no job you should create one for yourself. No matter how many jobs the government creates,not every youth will still put his or her mind to go work,be looking for quick money

Nigerian are not lazy, it's the government of the day that fails to do one of their vital obligations which is to create jobs and cater for the citizens
- Nwala Raphael - 2019-08-15 22:28:39 Quote
Nigeria youth are nt lazy, youth are really trying their best to perform greater exploit but are short of resources to perform this task and most of this resources can only be provided by the government
I will urge the government to provide if not all basic resources needed and see if youth are still lazy or not

I may agree to with the president because we the youths rely heavily on the government for white collar job.

The problem I have with these politicians is that they do lose their mind whenever they are being interviewed outside the country and come back to their senses when they returned to the country. The President said the Nigeria youth are lazy, where are the jobs to do and a commission being controlled by our President claimed that the unemployment rate is at an alarming rate
- Oduola Toheeb - 2019-08-15 22:51:24 Quote
That statement is indeed very bad coming from Mr President. However, we youth have to take it as a challenge for better us, sincerely our youth are not lazy with multiple job, source of income...

There is no country we don't have lazy youth. The issue is that what percentage of Nigeria youth are really lazy? From my little research, lots of Nigeria youth are really lazy not because they which to but because they country call for it

Nigerians are not lazy, they're the ones that refuse to do their work as the government of the state
- Otti Arinze Collins - 2019-08-15 23:18:59 Quote
That was a generalized statement which i refused to agree with. Am a Nigeria youth, am not lazy, though others may be.
- JOHN David J. - 2019-08-15 23:30:25 Quote
No it is not true, we Nigerians work daily just to earn a living,people going into 2 to 3 jobs just to earn more money
- Nora Chidera - 2019-08-15 23:32:53 Quote
It is actually the lazy that are being paid most, while those hardworking earn less
- Olalekan Farinmade - 2019-08-15 23:41:31 Quote
No its not....every Nigerian youth is out there hustling even with the harsh economy
- Mubarak Belll - 2019-08-15 23:42:07 Quote
No. I don't think they're lazy. Not all of them to be specific, but the mistake we are making is to be dependent on the government
- Kenechi Victor - 2019-08-16 02:02:15 Quote
Nigeria youths are vibrant and intelligent the condition of the country weakens them
- Amarachi Okorie - 2019-08-16 05:31:59 Quote
Nigerian youth are not in anyway lazy. We are the most hardworking youth you can find around in the world today.
- Iorpine Loya - 2019-08-16 06:00:54 Quote
No,the Nigerian youths are very energetic such that they can do or solve any problem they come in contact with.
- Agav igbadio Solomon - 2019-08-16 06:03:46 Quote
Laziness in the sense that most Nigerians want to get white collar job. Nigerians must develop the habbit of planning to be self dependent
- Oladunjoye Muhammed - 2019-08-16 06:05:53 Quote
This statement from my own point of view is partially true!!! Cause we have lots of youth loitering on the streets jobless when they can actually find something to do
- Arowolo Olasunkanmi - 2019-08-16 06:50:25 Quote
Nigerian youths are not lazy only if the Government know what they are doing, their children school abroad and also getting them job here where the average Nigerians ara graduate but find no job
- Jubril Olakanmi - 2019-08-16 06:56:07 Quote
Yes he is trying to make a point in the sense that some Nigeria youth no longer hustle no make money .which make the to endulge in fraudulent activities like 419,yahoo etc.such activities will make them lazy cause the money is an awoof money.
- Olakojo Yusuf - 2019-08-16 07:24:51 Quote
Nigerian youth are not lazy is just that the government are not supporting them they are not providing the things the youth needs to overcome saying they are lazy.
- DAVID J IHEKE - 2019-08-16 08:00:45 Quote
I strongly disagree, Nigerian youths are the most hard working youths in African. I just finished watching a video of young boys that started a mini film company. They are creative and innovative. Nigerian youth are really hard working
- Miracle Nwancho - 2019-08-16 08:03:59 Quote
Nigeria youths are never lazy, if there are jobs will our youths stay idle? Go overseas the most hard working people are Nigerians so Nigeria youths are never lazy
- Andrew Unugiaseh Daniel - 2019-08-16 08:31:10 Quote
Nigeria youths are not lazy because me, I am not lazy. I have been hustling from my University days till now. I paid for my school fees with my hustle. I am not lazy as a Nigerian youth
- Onwa Matthew - 2019-08-16 08:55:33 Quote
With the current obsession of the youth to get rich quick I guess one can say lazy but then the Nigerian youth is a very motivated human being and just needs the right motivations and guidance and opportunity to shine.

We are not ladzy, we only have President that's incompetent
- Abbas Harun - 2019-08-16 09:38:03 Quote
It's a lie Nigeria youths are not lazy because I myself I believe am not lazy and I think it's applicable to other youths
- Adekola adebayo - 2019-08-16 10:08:44 Quote
No its not truth, we Nigeria youth work daily just to earn a living, people go into 3 to 2 jobs just to earn more money.
- Ozowara Samuel - 2019-08-16 12:09:26 Quote
It is never true, if go on a research you'll find out that Nigerian youths are the most hardworking ones where try to live a life even when could not provide us with well paying jobs
- Ikpa Iorwuese - 2019-08-16 12:18:20 Quote
Personally I think it is limited to certain number of the youth not all of them in general
- Obaji ifeanyichukwu - 2019-08-16 13:55:49 Quote
Not all, but some folks are lazy, some Nigerian youths no longer want where they will suffer to make it in life, half of Nigerian's youth want to make easy money, none wants where he will put shishi inorder to gain..
- Juliet Eziama - 2019-08-16 18:27:10 Quote
Nigerian youths are not lazy. Let Buhari create something that will keep us busy just like Paul Samson did. He made me busy today, and gave us an asset to making money.
- Ndukwe Samuel - 2019-08-17 11:29:28 Quote
its not true because if he really knows what the youths are passing through, he won't be saying such. anyways, it doesnt meant that some part of us are not lazy, he shouldn't have used the habbit of some people to judge everyone saying "Nigerian Youths" which comprises everyone, he is supposed to be specific with his statement though.

We are not lazy, the problem we have is that, we don't have that enabling environment to work or act.....that's why most of us traveled abroad For greener pastures , those places they go to, they have a system already and a good enabling environment have been in place
- Odoemenam Onyenwearku - 2019-08-19 14:51:37 Quote
The youths are really trying to make it no matter how hard it is in this country
- Oludemi Michael - 2019-08-19 16:56:04 Quote
False, because,there is no need to jingle bell into ur ears or widden ur eye before he believes that the youths are de ones propelling dis country,yes of cause ,the old ones can't work but rather interested in lavishing Moni mentioned for de younger generation
- Fredrick Chukwuebuka - 2019-08-19 23:44:13 Quote
Just as the saying always goes, to whom much is given much is expected, the government has a very big role to play in terms of job creation, but that aside there are no resources that are available even when you decide to do things on your own, the government has failed to even make provision for basic social amenities. We lack them all, imagine running a business where electricity is required on a regular basis, the price of fuel is high and that alone will consume so much funds. This and much more that are expected to be provided freely by goverment are neglected, Nigeria has now turn to a country where everyone depends on generators for power supply and yet at the end of every month, bills will surely come to be paid.

Nigeria youth are never lazy, we are hard working and striving hard to make it, the government are suppose to encourage and to discourage the youth
- Nehemiah Esla Allu - 2019-08-20 08:13:12 Quote
No that's so not true, if they had a chance to see what youths engaged in, than that sentence will seize to exist, even my younger brother that is just fourteen years of age is doing a part time bricklaying job. Everybody is really hustling so I don't think Nigerian youths are lazy
- Bukola Ayobami - 2019-08-20 15:39:30 Quote
I think the president got it wrong by generalizing his speech. But I'm convinced that he is referring to the Northern youths. Because I'm a youth and I'm not lazy
- Chinwe Igboh - 2019-08-22 14:52:35 Quote
Saying that Nigerian youth are lazy is an over speach by the president, in a country like this were job creation an industries are few but majority of the youth are still striving in a legitimate in different way to survive.
- Ekpedeme Vincent - 2019-08-26 10:28:45 Quote
Well in my own view This statement is not true not every Nigeria youth are lazy there are many Nigeria youth out there hustling very hard to get money, although we have some lazy youth in Nigeria but not every Nigeria youth is lazy.

I never expected such kind of statement from our president. Imagine the picture the outside world will have on Nigerians abroad. He should have reason first before speaking not speaking first before reasoning
