While Asian tigers produce engineers and scientists who power global innovation, Nigerian youths are busy perfecting "waist and bust" content or shouting "God abeg" for likes. Real knowledge and skills are declining precisely because they demand effort in a society that rewards the path of least resistance.

The result is a generation producing more influencers per capita than functional professionals, a demographic time bomb wrapped in designer knockoffs and rented Lamborghinis.
