I can’t put my finger on why it is so.

@Inno4Chi said, “A time will come when Nigerian leaders will blame the Gen Zs for Nigeria’s underdevelopment.

Told one of them that works with me, I believe you will do well, and i also know you will make mistakes while at it, do your best to ensure the mistakes won’t cost us. Oh Chim! Today, we haven’t make mistakes but things have been running the Genz way but we are achieving results.
