Even with all their education, they are driving cabs but won’t drive cabs here.
Oluremi Tinubu, wife of President Bola Tinubu, has criticized Nigerians abroad who have taken on jobs they couldn’t do in Nigeria. The First Lady made this statement during an interview with Arise News on Thursday, March 21.
Encouraging Nigerians to help each other amid the economic crisis, the former senator questioned those who “japa” to take on work they couldn’t do in Nigeria.
“Nigerians, we can help each other. It’s not that the government will begin to give food to everybody. It is for people God has blessed to help the poor,” she said.
She further remarked, “Even those people saying they are going to Japa, they go there. What work are they going to do? Work that you refused to do at home where you have loved ones, you end up going to do that. Even with all their education, they are driving cabs but won’t drive cabs here.”
