[@XY-rh3if]

It's so interesting how the Milenianls of Nigeria lack basic knowledge of what's expected of a leader. They lack basic necessities like electricity, clean water, Healthcare facilities, access to high quality education, orderliness, and 3 square meals daily. Yet, they get exited over political candidates who neither mention this things nor promise to provide these basic needs. They vote for these politicians with no expectation of solving these problems, as if these problems are not a necessity. The leader takes over leadership, do his term in office without solving these problems, and the cycle continues with the next elected leader It's very obvious why the education system was defunded in the first place, which is to create a dummy of the citizens of Nigeria to the extent that even a college graduate lacks basic knowledge, talkless of the knowledge about his/her own profession An educated Milenianl, inspite having some level of education, wouldn't know what is expected of his/her leader because of substandard education received from very poor education system. And things seems to be going as conspired by the powers that be

Don't be Judgemental based on senseless ideologies... The well-educated Nigerians are the best performers worldwide and even they are competitors in your own country; that is why they are in high demand and foreign employers go the extra mile to sponsor their visas to come and contribute to the growth of their organization.

[@XY-rh3if]

@@michaelaguda465 Typical complacency mentality. It's people like you that I'm referring to. Nigerians leaving the country for better opportunities is all that's important to you. You're such a patriotic citizen of your country. The basic necessities that I mentioned, which has been lacking for decades, non of that matters to you. How then will it matter to the politicians? Citizens around the world are bragging about their nation's world class infrastructural development achievements, but here you are bragging about braindrain from your country to foreign countries. What are your priorities? And by the way, how many countries do you think would sponsor you to come to their country, and are you aware that people who look like you are discriminated against in those countries?

Foolish talk. Nigerian graduates are among the most sought after worldwide. You have absolutely no idea what you are on about. The young people who came out en masse to vote are the same young people who organised and staged the massive End Sars protest that shook the current government - those are the very people you ignorantly and arrogantly tag as not knowing what they want? If anyone you're the fool that has no idea what you are talking about. Stay mute if you're ignorant - it's always better that way.
