Better still resign and handover to a teenager.

did i here you say teenager ?

size38:
Hehehehehehe GEJ thinks he is young? He belongs to those aging people that have been causing us problem in this country. If actually GEJ is young as he wants us to believe, that means he is a complete failure for disappointing the young people of this country.

dont be silly.... the man said "us" .... he even included himself so stop quoting him out of context.

He knows the Truth, they all do. For the first time in forever, he said it in public that he believes in we youth. Now so mr. President, this is what we youths are asking from you... Sweep out the old, starting from your advicer and put young chap there one whose thinking is out of this world, outside the box and see the result u get.

listen to ur self, if he belives Nigerian youth are only good for sport and entertainment y wud he inaugurate an agricultural policy for d youth? Dis man has abt 3-4 policies to help d youth and yet bulk of those youths are on NL complainin wen una mate dey make am! Mtcheew

Re-read the speech and tell us how D-banj relate to the agricultural policy for the youth.

I am sure you are a juvenile, you talk like one. Una mate dey make am, how? When our education sector is in shambles? What the youth need most is quality education.

He is making reference to himself for not been able to tackle the challenges facing the country.......let him handover to APC !

U are right mr President but the way u talked eeh

GEJ nailed it in the head


I to say NO to old people running tings in this country

“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.”

can you explain what you understood by the above statements?

searchcorp:
So in GEJ's mind the ony achievements the young should give their nation is in sports, movie and music. He said absolutely nothing about science, economics, information technology, new age journalism, witty inventions in technology, entrepreneurial spirit and drive and others.

Im ashamed of my president.

GEJ should keep quiet and stop showing how clueless he is. Weren't they all youths before they became greedy old politicians?

The youths have learned the ropes. Put a 20-year-old in Aso rock and he will show you how 'smart' the Nigerian youths are.

The problem is not with the older generation, we are inherently corrupt!

Can't you read the points before you start to abuse? He sees what u don't c n instead of reason u r talking rubbish.
The man said the young bring glory but the old bring sorrows n u can c with the examples he gives.
What will Buhari bring or Obasanjo who disobeyed court orders.
Think next time before u comment .

...But see politics that old people like us are
involved in, we continue to quarrel and abuse
ourselves everyday and create problems for
innocent Nigerians .

Imagine, He knew he is a problem for Nigerians and yet he is campaigning for another FOUR YEARS to create problems for Innocent Nigerians

So GEJ knows he has nofin and he still wants 2 go 4 anoda 4years after 6years of nofin 2 show. Hmm, irony of lyf

koboko69:

Jonathan as forgotten that in the next 5-10years he will be as old as the people he is insulting now. I wonder when he will stop blaming people for his failures. This time it is old people.

did he exempt himself from the statement? no,he said "most of us adult" learn how to ready and comprehend.

Jonathan abaseje

Onisokuso

Iroh88:
Just imagine a president talking!!! Tufiakwa!! So much for "issues based politics".

I feel so ashamed.

I u to shout tufiakwa!! but dis time over ur reasoning. So bc he is d president everytin he does is politics even wen it's meant to ginger d youths to do more. Tufiakwa! Cos u've failed to separate political frm motivational talk

he is right....... because Nigeria youths have contributed a lot to the development of this country, and he needs to be appreciated for recognizing the the youths

mrofficial:

57, closer to us dan d other men he mentioned who are much older dan my father.

temitemi1:
Buhari n Obasanjo are very good example of such elders. GEJ till 2019!!!

mama pis go giv dis man im drug na

Ppl lyk OBJ, Wole soyinka, Buhari, Tony Aneni, dozens of hausa old mallams, gud 4 notin animals

If Mr President believes in his statement, how many youths are in his govt? Is he raising disaffection between d young and d old? He shouldn't forget dat someday he will get old.

Abi o. What has age got to o with it? Speech seems a bit unpresidential!

Is anything wrong with the speech? No, I don't think so.
He is praising the youths for their contribution towards the development of the country. And when he said the 'old' he didn't exempt himself. He agreed that he is one of the people creating problems for this country as well as other old people that I know but won't mention.
