Bode George Says His Children Can’t Get Jobs In Nigeria Because Of His Name
Bode George, a senior Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, has raised concerns over the country’s unemployment and hunger crisis, revealing that even his children are struggling to find work because of his name. Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George described widespread frustration and hunger across the country. “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,” he said. “What have we done to positively impact the generality of Nigerians? There is so much anger in the land and so much hunger.” He noted that graduates are left without hope, while non-graduates remain idle. He urged the government to establish a special fund to empower unskilled youths and provide micro-credit for graduates seeking to start businesses. George also referenced the First Lady’s recent appeal for contributions to build a national library, suggesting that the President could have directed banks, which donated N20 billion in two days, to channel public funds responsibly for such initiatives. Highlighting the personal consequences of his reputation, George said, “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.”
