'Youths urgently need jobs' - Tochi calls out excessive excit

Media personality Tochi has weighed in on the massive excitement trailing the visit of popular American streamer iShowSpeed, questioning why many young people appear overly thrilled by his presence.

In a post shared on social media, Tochi lamented that some youths are going as far as embarrassing themselves to gain a moment of attention from the internet sensation. At the same time, iShowSpeed continues to benefit financially from the spectacle.

He argued that the trend points to a deeper societal problem, stressing that many young Nigerians are in urgent need of employment and real opportunities, not temporary online thrills. According to him, the focus should be on job creation, empowerment, and building sustainable futures for young people.

Tochi’s remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with some users agreeing that misplaced priorities are at play, while others defended iShowSpeed’s visit as harmless entertainment and a source of joy for fans.
