Before we delve into the matter, let me decode the message in text,  word for word: "About the economy, we have a very young population, our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. This is a very conservative one. More than 60 percent of that population is below 30, a lot of them haven’t been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria is an oil  producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and Get housing, healthcare, education for free." - PMB To begin with the population figures, let me highlight assumptions based on existing information about Nigeria. The current (projected) population of Nigeria is 194,826,327 as of Thursday, April 19, 2018, based on the latest United Nations estimates.

A lot of us educated folks are busy looking for a good paying job here and there  everyday. But the truth is, the world of work is shrinking by the day and as such there are no jobs to absorb the number of graduates produced by our universities any longer. The government CAN NOT and WILL NOT create jobs. Truth be told, our Universities are just  reproducing job seekers and not job creators.
