It is the misguided and ignorant fools that allowed themselves to be misled by Buhari in 2015 that must take the blame for his insult on our youth. We warned them but they would not listen. Buhari is irresponsible and shameless: he is an incurable dullard and a sadistic beast.

The lawmaker representing Bayelsa East constituency at the Upper Chamber, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, also took to his Twitter account to blast the former military head of state. See his tweet below:
Whoever says Nigerian youths are lazy should just buy a mirror and he or she will see the real definition of laziness! I have over 1000 Nigerian youths in my employ and not one of them is lazy.

Nigerian youths want to “sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare”-Buhari
He is describing himself.
He sits and does nothing at Aso Rock.
He gets free housing at the Presidential Villa.
He spends 103 days in London and we pay for it!
Joblessness makes him talk anyhow!

At 19, President Buhari left Secondary School to join the Army. At age 21,he was commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Where can our youths get such opportunity today?
