Reality TV star and activist Tacha has described her generation of Nigerians as the “dumbest and most cowardly.”
In a strongly worded post on her X page, the former BBNaija housemate criticized young Nigerians for blaming older generations while lacking the courage to fight for real change. She referenced former President Muhammadu Buhari’s role in a military coup in his 20s, suggesting that today’s youth lack such boldness.
“Listen, my generation of Nigerians is the dumbest and most cowardly. Funny how we blame the ones before us for ruining Nigeria, but at least they had the guts to fight. Ex-President Buhari in his 20s was part of a coup fighting for what he believed in.
But what are today’s 20-year-olds up to? Japa. Believe me when I say, we’ve not just failed the next generation… we’ve buried it.”
Tacha lamented that while young Nigerians in the past inserted themselves into national leadership, today’s youth are more interested in fleeing the country or engaging in online trends.
“Young Nigerians back then were bold enough to insert themselves in national power. Today? We insert ourselves into visa queues… banger tweets and vibes. Y’all ask ‘what have you done?’
I’ve used my voice. I speak, I show up, I don’t stay silent. This tweet was never about me. It’s about a whole generation that’s too scared to sacrifice comfort for country.”
The post has generated mixed reactions online, with some agreeing with her bold assessment while others accused her of being overly harsh and ignoring the realities young Nigerians face today.
