Nigerians relocating overseas to take jobs they rejected at home -Remi Tinubu

Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has said that Nigerians leave their country of origin for affluent
nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada to take jobs they would not do back home
She said this in an interview with Arise TV

According to the First Lady, Nigerians with their
educational background flee the nation in search of
menial work, like cab driving, at the expense of the
dependents they left behind at home.

The First Lady said: “Look at all those people
saying they are going to Japa, they go there.

What work are you going to do? You know, work that you
refused to do at home where you have loved ones, you
now end up to go and do there.

With all theireducation, they’re driving cabs, but they won’t
drive cabs here,” Sen Tinubu said.

“Nigerians, we can help each other [sic], the rate
we are doing parties and all that, why can’t we use
the money to help your neighbours, until we can
really get on our feet? And those are the things we
have to look at. It’s not that the government has to
begin to give food to everybody, by asking…’

“You know I believe in social development and social
investment for people who truly need it. And, in the
Bible, we even talk about Jesus saying the poor you
will always have in the land, and it’s for people
whom God has blessed to help the poor.

“Now you don’t even know who the poor are. If they
don’t ride a car, they will say they are poor. If
you don’t have your own home, they will say they are
poor.”
