For those conversant with Twitter, alias “bird app,” the unending debates around two opposing sides aren’t strange. In sports, we have Messi Vs Ronaldo, in entertainment Davido Vs Wizkid, and even food wars — Semo Vs Amala, among others.
The latest arrival to the corridors of Nigerian Twitter is the feud between two generations: Millennials and Gen Z.
While Millennials are categorized as those born between 1981 and 1996, Gen Z covers those born between 1997 and 2015.
Perhaps seeking for supremacy, Nigerians belonging to the two generations have taken to Twitter to take swipe at the other side, highlighting flaws, weaknesses and advantages — albeit, comically and satirically.
See some of the tweets below:
Millennials won't marry you if you're from another tribe.
Gen Z won't marry you if you're from another zodiac sign— wolfie 🌹 (@theigbowolf_) February 19, 2021
Gen Z: Excuse me, are you the last on the queue?
Millennial: I will never be the last in Jesus name.

Gen X – Orthodox, very religious, morally inclined.
Millennials (1980-1994) – mixes religion, morals and modernization. Great Thinkers
Gen Z (1995-2015) – Awon omo wobe, awon omo irole aye, awon omo shaku shaku.

Millennials love to talk about Gen Z being under the control of their parents as if the reason they spent 5+ years studying Law only to end up selling hair on the TL isn’t that their parents filled their JAMB forms for them. https://t.co/N8uz0WvcN1
