My children can’t get job in Nigeria because of my name – Bode George

A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Bode George, has lamented that his children can’t get jobs in Nigeria because of his name.

Speaking during an interview with Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George also lamented that there is so much anger in Nigeria.

This was as he urged the government to implement policies that will enable the teeming graduates to gain employment.

He said: “Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger. Forget about me being in the PDP, the base of the pyramid is what really matters.

“What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land and there is so much hunger.

“Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing. I suggested that Mr. President should set up a special fund to ensure that those guys who didn’t train in any skill can be empowered.

“Then micro-credit for young graduates who want to do one business or the other.

“Recently, the First Lady announced that she was going to build a national library and she needed contributions.

“That fund should have been by the President asking these people in the banks, those who donated N20 billion in two days, to give that money, which will be public money, and process it through good management.

“The younger generation in this country, including my own children who graduated a long time ago, have returned and tried to get a job, but they can’t get a job because their name is Bode George.”
