Tacha Akide, a star from reality television and a media figure, has ignited a heated debate online by calling her generation of Nigerians the "most cowardly and dumbest." She criticized the popular trend known as 'Japa,' where young people aspire to leave the country in search of better prospects abroad.
In a passionate social media post, the former Big Brother Naija contestant, who recently moved to the UK, expressed doubts about the bravery and love for their country shown by today’s youth in Nigeria, making a comparison with past generations.
“Honestly, my generation is the weakest and least intelligent. It’s ironic that we blame previous generations for Nigeria’s problems, yet they had the bravery to take action. For instance, former President Buhari was involved in a coup when he was in his twenties, fighting for his beliefs. But what are today’s twenty-year-olds doing? They’re leaving. I truly believe we haven't just let down the future generation; we've essentially buried it.”
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…
