Nigeria's former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has reacted to Femi Adesina’s statement in which he tried to defend his boss, President Buhari's comment on Nigerian youths.
It will be recalled that President Buhari angered Nigerians when
he described its youths as "lazy" during the Commonwealth Business Forum in London. However, in a statement, Adesina said Buhari never described all Nigerian youths as lazy.
Mrs Ezekwesili, in reaction wrote on twitter: "@FemAdesina says the President only said, “a lot of.” “Not all.”
"A lot of, Plenty o. A lot of, means Majority o.
"Hmmm. I pray for YOU.
"May God never let you specialize in what my Dad used to describe as Semantic Obscurantism.
"Would have made sense to sincerely apologize on this legendary misspeak of our President .@MBuhari than to rush out with these acrobatics of “A Lot Of is Not Equal to All”.
"When shall his media team learn? Been almost four years. I mean, FOUR YEARS. Haba."
