Reality TV star, Tacha Akide, has criticized Nigerian youths for being inactive in the country’s political and social struggles.
Naijaonpoint reports that the former Big Brother Naija housemate, in a post on 𝕏, expressed disappointment with the current generation, describing them as timid and unwilling to make sacrifices for national change.
She compared today’s youth to those of past generations, stating that earlier Nigerians were brave enough to get involved in national power and even risked their lives for what they believed in.
She said the youth of today are more focused on leaving the country, creating content online, and chasing comfort.
She wrote: “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.”
