He lamented that the boy failed woefully and blamed his poor academic performance on lack of studying his books ahead of the examination.

According to him, the boy was always on TikTok, playing football, or running around, and was never serious with his studies.

Buttressing further, he advised all Generation Z’s to buckle up in their studies in order to secure a brighter future for themselves.

Dexterous11 added that he has fears about the people who belong to the 'Gen Z' generation due to their carefree lifestyle.

He wrote:

“I fear for this generation. This boy in the street has the worst result I have seen so far. English 9, Maths 38, Chemistry 32, Physics 42. Aggregate 121. U will always see this boy playing football, doing TikTok, and running around in the street. Gen Z children need to buckle up.”
