The hashtag #LazyNigerianYouths is the number one trending topic on social media at the moment following President Buhari's speech at the Commonwealth of nations where he described Nigerian youths as lazy people who wait for the government to do everything for them.
The message was recieved with widespread disdain and condemnation and now Ngerian youths have taken to social media to react by sharing photos of their hardwork and what they do for a living with no government support.
