LazyNigerianYouths

Lazy Nigerian Youths, also known as #LazyNigerianYouths, is a social media revolt by Nigerian youths against President Muhammadu Buhari. While speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on 18 April 2018, the president said, in response to an interview question about an unrelated topic, that a majority of the Nigerian youths have not been to school and wanted everything free (including education and healthcare) because the country is an oil-producing state.[1] Young Nigerians soon took to social media to protest against Buhari's comment.[2]
