Wikipedia Creates Page ‘LazyNigerianYouths’

As a fallout of the viral trend #LazyNigerianYouths, online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, has created a page in acknowledgement of the social media tag.

Speaking recently at the just concluded Commonwealth Summit, the President had said that youths in Nigeria want to sit down and do nothing, yet expect to get everything free because their country is an oil producing nation.

The President’s comment did not go down well with many Nigerians, especially the youth, who took to social media to vent their anger, implying Buhari’s statement to mean that they are lazy.

The hashtag #LazyNigerianYouth started trending which recorded hundreds of thousands of tweets and millions of expressions in less than a week.

The youth seized the opportunity to showcase to the world their trade and expertise as Nigerians.

“The Lazy Nigerian Youths (Also known as “#LazyNigerianYouth” or simply “#LazyYouth”) is a social media revolt by Nigerian youths against their President, Muhammadu Buhari,” read the information on the page.

Wikipedia said the controversy had been received in different ways, with some using it as a business opportunity.
