Published on Greenbreporters.com Apr 21, 2018. By Yusuf Ozi Usman A very interesting and worrying topic trending around Nigeria today is the issue of laziness among the youths. It is interesting for those of us who have been worrying all along about the new generation of youths that are dangerously destroying the fabrics of the society and making none sense of our heroes past. And it is worrying that just because it is President Muhammadu Buhari that said something to that effect, the same youths and their parents have turned it into politics and or jokes. The question we should really reflect on is: are the Nigerian youths lazy or not lazy? Let’s attempt at answering the question by some simple analysis or logic.

Hon.

Okene Local government Administrator by virtue of his appointment is the head of the Council an such, he ...
