He said, “For the Nigerian young men and women, those who we have seen today and the ones outside there, we appreciate and commend you because anything that you are involved, you bring glory to this country.

“Anything that the old people like us are involved in, it is always problems.

“Young people are involved in sports, soccer, athletics and so on, and within the period that I have been here as Vice President and President, they have always been bringing glory to us.

“Young people are involved in the movie, popularly called Nollywood, and this continues to bring glory to us.

“So, we believe that the future of this country is in the hands of young people. The young Nigerians will surely take us to where we want to be.

“One day, you will take us to the moon. I believe in the young, creative and talented people. Surely, we will create enabling environment for you because you stand for the future of this country and you will make this country great.”

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday accused elderly Nigerians of troubling the country as a result of their utterances and behaviours.

The President said that it was the young Nigerians that had continually brought glory to the nation.

He particularly berated old politicians in the country, who he said caused trouble by quarrelling and abusing one another.

Jonathan spoke during the official inauguration of the Youth Employment in Agriculture Programme and the Fund for Agricultural Finance in Nigeria which held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He said, “For the Nigerian young men and women, those who we have seen today and the ones outside there, we appreciate and commend you because anything that you are involved, you bring glory to this country.

“Anything that the old people like us are involved in, it is always problems.

“Young people are involved in sports, soccer, athletics and so on, and within the period that I have been here as Vice President and President, they have always been bringing glory to us.

This man truly does not have what it talks to rule this country. How can this kind of uninspiring and useless speech be delivered at an inauguration of the Youth Employment in Agriculture Programme and the Fund for Agricultural Finance event? Is he insinuating that Nigerian youth are only good for entertainment and sports? What about other critical sectors like health, Agriculture, science and technology, Information technology, etc.

This speech is an insult to the youth of this country.

Very true, the peolpe causing problems in this coutry are those old niggas, check out buhari, telliing us lies us and down, abi its obasanjo, who does not know wats wrong with him, or atiku who is always contesting, or tinunbu, who done more harm than good., the list is endless



buh check out the youths,in football they won the nations cup anb brought joy to nigerians.

Ok, see what a youth youth seun has done to internet in nigeria, by creating nairaland.

Many youths are fresh and ready to work for this country, buh these nonsense old men buhari and the rest, wont let them be..

Its not as if, there are jobs for them to do.

Goodluck is very right jor.

First they blamed APC
They later blamed Tinubu
They Blamed Amaechi
They Blamed Muhammadu Buhari
They blamed all past Heads and Presidents
They blamed opposition.
Now they are blaming Elderly People...
Tomorrow they will blame the Children and unborn

lol
