If You’re Unemployed In The UK Or US You Are Lazy – Actor Williams Uchemba (Pix) by IamHeWrites: 2:24pm On Aug 17, 2021
Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has stated that anyone living in the United Kingdom and the United States of America without a job is either lazy or proud, Igbere TV reports.

The former child actor said this in an Instagram post on Monday, stating that a system that works always provides employment for its citizens.

“If you don’t have a job in the UK or US, you are either proud or lazy. Even people with zero education as a cleaner or factory worker gets a minimum of 1,400 pounds a month. That’s 980k a month, even a bank in Nigeria won’t give you that.

“The only issue is that the bills will take most of the money back. But at least you have food and a roof over your head. A system that works will always provide employment for its citizens. A system that works,” he wrote.

The Abia-born filmmaker joined Nollywood as a child actor in 2000. He has featured in over 50 films.

When there is enough jobs to go round.. The economy will be affected positively.. There will be revenue going back to the government's purse... In this country reverse is the case.. Nothing is entering the pocket and the govt is evenly ready to milk out ur blood since u don't have the funds for revenue.. U don't provide good roads, good electricity, good health care yet u want to be collecting revenue. Atimes if I think about all the events happening in this country.. I wish I can just be given birth to in one advanced nation unlike our stagnant jungle....

I have a major problem with people quick to convert foreign earnings to Naira. Irritates me. He has a point though, you’ll definitely see jobs to get by. Lots of Nigerians (and blacks) are comfortable with these kinda jobs. They get stuck in warehouse and Burger King, to the extent that when you go to corporate America, you’ll think blacks were banned from applying for such jobs.

You're right. London is a world class city.
Main reasons people migrate to other cities in the UK for a less expensive life

Waytin his guy they talk self?
We have many jobs in Nigeria also.
You do menial jobs aboard & earn in $,€,£ & you are quick to convert to our local currency, do you think that wages per hrs can survive you over there? Even if it is, you go hear ham well we'll.
The same thing in Nigeria also, the pay can't survive us there.
When you talk of very high profile & professional jobs, how many black are there?
Just a few percentage.

I agree with you. Converting one's earnings abroad to one's home currency is just ridiculous. It's not as if you earn in dollars and spend in Naira. The banker in Nigeria might still get more value for his money. Nevertheless, he has a point in the sense that, despite the fact that you spend almost everything you earn, these jobs ensure you have somewhere to sleep and something to eat. The western structure makes being poor much more bearable.

Your second point is also very valid. Many black kids out here don't enough role models to look up to. We need more educated immigrants who are career driven.

Yeah $1400 is very little and wouldn't take care of your house rent and other bills especially in a very expensive place like London unless you relocate to less expensive cities, little wonder why you will find alot of Nigerians living in peckham neighborhood, infact most hardworking Nigerians there have like 3 jobs or more to sustain themselves

I was talking in terms of accommodation, good food and Monthly Bills and Taxes(if that is inclusive). Moreover we have keke and Okada in Lagos because we don't have subway Train systems in Lagos. You can't earn £1400 monthly in London and live comfortably lai lai!

I don’t know why they keep doing that conversion, because earning almost 1m is a lot in Nigeria. Someone earning that amount would be far from poor by Nigerian standard.

Black kids are more interested in sports and entertainment. Someone once complained to me that he went to the UK and he kept looking for Nigerians (blacks) in certain sectors. I guess they are okay with earning and sending some back home for building projects. Every other thing is jara.
