“Most of you mocking Gen Z are actually GenZ” – Lady blows hot

A Nigerian lady has stirred reactions on social media after calling out people who often look down on Gen Z, insisting that many of those critics are actually part of the same generation they mock.

The young lady, identified as Adewole Rebecca Adedamola on Facebook, expressed her frustration in a viral post that has since sparked mixed reactions online.

“Gen Z Started From 1997” – Lady says

In her post, Rebecca questioned the way people casually use “Gen Z” as an insult or label for immaturity.

“Do you realize that Gen Z started from 1997? Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old,” she said.

She added; “Any small thing, ‘Gen Z cannot relate. Yen yen yen… Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?’”

Rebecca further claimed that many people who criticize Gen Z are unknowingly part of the same generation.

“If you want to call Baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are,” she said.

She Reflects on Childhood Experiences

The lady also shared personal memories from her upbringing to show how much she has witnessed Nigeria’s changes over the years.

“I’m a Gen Z who had lived through the era of spending coins. I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.”

“I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today. I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.”

 “I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice. I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.”

 “Yes, I’m a Gen Z and I remember.”
