She contrasted the current generation of Nigerian youths with the past, saying that while the latter were bold enough to seize national power and drive change, the former are now more inclined to queue for foreign visas.
“Listen, my generation of Nigerians is the dumb*st and most cowardly.. funny how we blame the ones before us for ruining Nigeria, but at least they had the guts to fight, ex president Buhari in his 20s was part of a coup fighting for what he believed in .. buh what’s Today’s 20-year-olds up to? japa. Believe me when I say, we’ve not just failed the next generation..we’ve buried it. Young Nigerians back then were bold enough to insert themselves in national power. Today? We insert ourselves into visa queues.. banger tweets & vibes. Yall ask “what have you done?” I’ve used my voice. I speak, I show up, I don’t stay silent. This tweet was never about me. It’s about a whole generation that’s too scared to sacrifice comfort for country.”
