#LazyNigerianYouths: Nigerian celebrities Banky W, Omoni Oboli amongst others react

April 20,2018

By Patricia Uyeh

Following president Mohammed Buhari’s remark at the Commonwealth Business Forum which held in London, where he said that Nigerian youths are lazy and want everything free, there has been an outburst on social media from Nigerian youths.

A hastag:#LazyNigerianYouths is now trending and those affected are raising their voice to counter the President’s claim.

Notable among these youths, are Nigerian celebrities such as Banky W, Omoni Oboli amongst others, who have come out to defend themselves proving that they are not lazy.
On Instagram, singer, Banky W wrote:
“ So apparently, this is what our President thinks about “a lot of the Nigerian youth”. What do you guys think?

“I have a suggestion. Whether you agree, or disagree with the President’s comments, this time, do a little bit more than posting, commenting, retweeting, and complaining. Go and register to vote.

“I’ve sat in countless meetings, seminars, conferences and hangouts with young people. We are always great at pointing out our issues.. but the truth is that we can sit around and complain from now until Kingdom come. IT WILL NOT MATTER. INEC will not count your tweets. Let’s turn the month of May into #PVCMay.

“Even if you don’t know who you’re voting for.. even if you hate every single candidate. At least register.. so that if someone comes along who you feel compelled to support, you can.

“If you’re really serious about wanting Nigeria to be a better place, go and register to vote. Get your PVC asap. The registration period will end LONG before the elections come, so if you think you can wait until next year, you are wrong.

“Get your PVC today. Or don’t bother complaining about anything, because it won’t matter. Your tweets will not count. Your vote will.”

On the other hand, Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli wrote:
“We are proudly Nigerian and we are hardworking and industrious! You can’t tell me nothing!!! #LongHiss ?”
