Adenikan Solomon wonder why the aged just criticize our generation, I know we have our shortcomings, but we are not that bad. Trust me, most of the displays are as a result of their actions. when a child is born his mind is as plain as a slate. Sociologists call it TABULA RASA, but as a result of socialization it develops. we don't socialize ourselves at the earliest stage they do. You don't blame the fruit for what it becomes instead you put it on the plant.
1. A lot of scholars also complain about the reading habit, but some youths read more than these scholars. Imagine one staying online for 5hours chatting, aren't you reading and giving replies? You also read ur replies, are u not into reading? some people 's chat is longer than an 100pages novel. We still have the reading habit only that we deviated from how it should be used.
2. Imagine cybercrime, if only the exchange rate was about $1 to 10NGN who will invest in it? We are blamed for being enchanted to these fast growing legal tender. they still don't get it, if an $100 can get me 50k in Nigeria, isn't it a great business, despite the job insecurity, high unemployment, underemployment and also poor educational standard which frustrates youths.
3. We then see these people insulting one another on social media then I wonder why we are also blamed when we do the same. Politicians, scholars and even our parents don't just care when they post foul languages on social medias. Their use of words is highly worse Dan anything u can think of, making it easier for people like us to do d same. Just imagine after a peaceful general election, just take a look at both parties member's Facebook page and see what will be posted. Things DAT can trigger anger and bring a ''WORLD WAR"". I Dont blame dem since dey are just ignorant of how things work.
4. I also wonder why they blame students for not being serious, imagine one being thought things the lecturers know we will never need. Even force you to learn things that the computer can just do for you for free. Imagine with that thought, how will computer literacy be encouraged when we ourselves are trying to work like one? Exams are not always that bad only that it sometimes funny DAT I first remember sometimes in Yoruba to then translate kills a lot, I just let go of the idea. I know we have to be disciplined but developed nations don't go this length to survive.
5. The funniest part is when they discourage us not to seek visa lotteries and develop our own nation, but u start to wonder are these people all barren? Becos u Neva no their kids simply becos they stay abroad. Why can't they stay behind to develop our nation. Dey are also sure DAT these kids of theirs will surely make interesting scenes if allowed to stay behind. Imagine someone investing a lot in health sector, and will never patronise them to get treatment. Dey are so into foreign goods and services and will even want to get an imported fuel to fill their vechiles.
At least someone should tell dem to get sense, we might be quiet DAT doesn't make us stupid. The bible says Honour ur parents and not like dem. U just have to play along for a while. And let them realise the fact when the time comes.
Whether the leaders, scholars, parents believe it or not, our own tenure will be better. We don't need people who are tactless to tell us what to do. if they were so good at putting our generation through why cant they do the same to theirs? I get mad at write ups just insulting people like us, since no one is encouraging us to do good while wont there be a deviation.
when we people do great things only the media recognizes it but these people only see the other side. if you want us to change, we need to seen examples. Make it empirical and not theoretical. Am not perfect but the last thing I need now is someone who dosen't know how things work should criticize my actions.
Just my thought ....Adenikan Solomon
