Every day on the Nigerian internet, there are people who keep our eyes glued to our phone screens as we read their rants, opinions, perspectives on political and social matters, etc. Sometimes, they are just downright ridiculous. We make it our job to take down the names of these noisemakers.

So our dear President, Muhammadu Buhari, presently in the UK mentioned a couple of things but one has been trending. Of course, it did not go down well with…

Just see our list for today:

1. Bamikole Omisore

Senate President Bukola Saraki’s Special Assistant on International Relations has a reply to someone who says President Buhari’s words were misplaced.

O sorry. He implied hardworking by saying they don’t want to do anything https://t.co/usDAPqHfA2

Ohoh! NEPA bill certificate?

Okay, do not just ‘rant’, go get your PVC.

3. King Lucia

Nigerian youths are willing to do jobs that they actually hate just to make ends meet. Nigerian youths adapt to EVERY situation to survive. Nigerian youths are not Lazy! #LazyNigerianYouths

This is nothing but TRUE.

No wonder Nigerian youth thrive quite well when they travel to other countries – I mean the ones that go there for legal business.

4. Ulrich Janse

This #LazyNigerianYouths trending tag is ridiculous. All youth I've ever met and worked with in Nigeria are doing amazing things, working incredibly hard and hustling to make a difference in their communities and cities. Nigeria is an amazing country with inspiring youth! ??❤ pic.twitter.com/NY7kxDwwv2

President Buhari, can you hear? Even foreigners know Nigerian youth are ever ready to work.

Should we be waiting for clarification (the usual business) or apology?

Personal selling.

With all due respect Mr President @MBuhari ,the statement you made was highly sensitive and shows lack of gumption. You offend Nigerian youths by Comparing us to your kids at home. Sir my parents know me, I AM NOT LAZY. #LazyNigerianYouths

Go on jare! Tell him.

We are not lazy.

How are we even going to be lazy with the kind of strict African parents we had/have and how they fight through all the hurdles to make sure we succeed in life?

Here’s an explainer to President Buhari’s statement:

#LazyNigerianYouths
Why not listen to what @MBuhari said and put it in proper context, instead of jumping on the bandwagon of people who are deliberately trying to mislead you by placing what @NGRPresident said out of context?

"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, therefore, they should sit and do nothing…"#LazyNigerianYouths

— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) April 19, 2018

This was a very qualified statement, about:
1) People under 30
2) People under 30 who have NOT been to school
3) People under 30 who have NOT been to school AND who want to freeload off the system.#LazyNigerianYouths

— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) April 19, 2018

If you are:
1) Over 30
2) If you are over 30 and have been to school.
3) If you are over 30, have been to school and are not trying to freeload off the system@MBUhari's statement was not about you, was not directed at you, and has nothing to do with you.#LazyNigerianYouths

— Mr. Aye Dee (@MrAyeDee) April 19, 2018

Seeing educated, employed people who are over 30, insulting @MBuhari by somehow pretending he is referring to everybody including them is disingenuous to say the very least. #LazyNigerianYouths

The utterances of Mr President concerning the Nigerian Youth is unfortunate. Perhaps, he didn't think it through. We urge him to at least apologise for making such a statement.

The youth of Nigeria are not only hardworking, but we are also patient and resilient.

I am not disputing the fact that YOU are lazy. I am disputing the fact that he has a right to say that when all that is necessary to ensure YOU become productive has not been given to you https://t.co/UO8FWkO7QG

And a little prayer to end today’s edition of Noisemakers:

God bless every Nigerian Youth that is struggling to make ends meet. We will prosper ??#LazyNigerianYouths

The question is: Did he really mean ALL NIGERIAN YOUTH?
