Lepacious Bose: "Nigerian Youths Of Today Are Very Shallow Minded"

 Nigerian Comedienne went on Instagram to share her thoughts on the lack of reading culture of today Nigerian youths, describing the generation as shallow and superficial



Read what she wrote below:


" I have been lamenting about this for so loooooong when I was a teenager every girl my age read novels, in fact it was a competition to know the fastest reader and how many novels you have read. We would read on the bus, in the toilet, while eating etc now I meet young girls I NEVER EVER see them reading, they don't even hold novels to show off, or pretend. 

No! they are on social media, they know who is dating who and who is wearing what. Don't know the name of their governor but they know the name of Kanye West's mum, don't know the capital of katsina state but they know Kim Kardashian's home address even the color of her toilet paint.

 Ask them what is happening in Syria now, they don't know but they know Jay Z and BeyoncĂ© had a fight this morning and why, in fact they know the details of Emeka Ike:s divorce more than Emeka and his wife, which state in Nigeria is preparing for elections right now? No they don't know that but they can tell you where Tiwa Savage is, what she's wearing and even what she ate for dinner. Oh no, our generation is not living up to expectation I know, but the next generation after us? They are a disaster waiting to happen..... 

Yet again I quote Asa, "whose responsible for what we teach our children? Is it the Internet or stars on television"? So sad...."

Do you agree with her?
