2 things can be true, he has a point but don’t chicken out of asking the difficult questions of what the extreme differences & changes between those times & now are? Specifically negative Changes that were heavily caused by some of the pollutants & rogues you just named,destructive entities and the undeniable impact they’ve had on the “becoming” of this generation of young folks.

Cee I'm :
The previous generation laid the foundation that enabled leaders like Obi and Tinubu to achieve many of the things you've listed, such as establishing banks and building companies. The question is: who is laying that same foundation for our generation? Even Peter Obi has acknowledged that his generation had access to many opportunities that were more affordable and readily available than what young people face today. Bro, let's base our arguments on facts and reality rather than assumptions. Every generation operates under different economic and social conditions. If Tinubu or Obi had been born into our generation and faced the same challenges and opportunities we have today, it's entirely possible they might have pursued careers as influencers or other modern professions instead.

I think your analysis are not consistent with human development which continue to get better with technology . because it's not every one at 35 that are buying Banks then just selected few, even today people in their 20s are also doing very well talk about davido ,Wizkid etc even in tech industry we have number of people that are doing very well below 30 so it is a generational thing One generation will come and say they're not doing as better as the other generation and it continues like that in 20 years to come people will be given to say In 20s davido is already releasing good music and that's the way it goes, I think this generation are doing very wel , it's just a question of time, they will also be celebrated in the nearest future but many occasion generation hardly celebrate themselves,they wait for other generation to celebrate them.. In 18th century people are complaining that life is better in 17th century because bread was cheaper in 17th century ... this how human are created to think

Joe_fabio🇳🇬 :
Before blaming the youth for not building, ask a more important question: Does the system encourage them to build?You mentioned that Tinubu was already a political candidate at 35. That was possible because the system created opportunities.Today, countless young Nigerians are ready to build businesses, invest, innovate, and contribute to national development. The challenge is not a lack of ambition it’s a system that too often fails to support productivity, entrepreneurship, and growth.Let’s stop attacking young people or dismissing them because they’re influencers. Instead, let’s address the real issue: building institutions and policies that empower the next generation to create value and move the country forward.

Shutter Box :
What you're saying is valid, but you should also consider the first mover advantage. Many of the outliers you mentioned entered early, reaped the initial benefits and over time built enough influence to shape policies and regulations that make it difficult for new entrants to compete, let alone thrive. Secondly, there are young people doing great things, but you're not hearing about most of them because breakthrough careers often spend years in obscurity trying, failing, learning and building before reaching what society recognizes as success.

If you look closely, they grew up with privilege and already had powerful connections through their parents or the schools they attended. We put ourselves out there because we’re trying to build the networks they were born into.
