Famous rapper, Tobechukwu Melvin Ejiofor, aka Illbliss, says the Nigerian government has failed its young people woefully, noting that “it is a tough time” to be a young person in Nigeria.

The rapper spoke about the negative impacts of “wokeness” and government policies on Nigerian youths in a recent episode of The Real Shareholders podcast.

He said, “This generation celebrates not just mediocrity but also lack of decision. Everything is ‘cool.’ So, under the cool theory people are allowed to overdose on drugs, they are allowed to live their lives the way they want to.

“They are allowed to not work and be entitled. So, there are so many things that are going on with young people these days.

“Also, the government has woefully failed young people in this country in the last years. I know boys that are telling me, ‘Oga boss, we dey street, we dey press because government no send.’ That’s their reality. Someone was telling that he has to do fraud because salary can’t buy his cancer patient mother’s drug.

“So, young people are mentally defeated. They are tired. They are just doing whatever they can to keep their lives going. It’s a tough time being a young person in Nigeria. It’s a tough time aging in Nigeria. It’s a tough time being born in Nigeria.”

“LOGISTICS COMPANIES are Robbing people and stealing people’s Belongings in Broad Daylight! … Honestly, I used to think this only happens with smaller companies, but I was shocked when I witnessed it with GUO, one of the supposed giants in Transportation & Logistics in our Country.
I as a Business person sends lots of parcels through Logistics companies and I have lost so many packages that I always end up refunding Costumers or resending through other means
