Ireti Kingibe describes Nigerian youths as grumblers

Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, Ireti Kingibe has criticized Nigerians.

She revealed that many are only good at being “complacent, complaining, and insulting their leaders.”

While speaking to journalists, Kingibe who represents the FCT in the Senate, said: ‘’I have said it, Nigerian youths are cpmplacent. They are quiet, all they do is grumble. We need to have constructive interactions. All I hear is grumbling and insults. That is not helpful.

“The country belongs to the youths, they should own it. Instead of a proper agenda or programme, they will threaten a strike that everybody knows they are not going to on, how does that achieve anything.”

When asked by the journalists what Nigerian youths should do to take back their country, she said; ‘’This is your country, own it. I do not have another country so we have to make it work. We have to do whatever is necessary make sure that this country works for everybody.”

She went on to state that Nigerians have not put out a concerted effort to ensure that their leaders do right by them.

I haven’t seen a concerted complaint and all I see from most people is about ‘’me”. I want to see something. I am sure other leaders want to see something. All I see are young people who complain and constantly just insult their leaders. They do not constructively engaged their leaders. They do not constructively engage their leaders.”
