"My Children Can't Get Jobs Due To My Name" – PDP Chieftain Bode George Decries Hardship

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Bode George has disclosed that his own children are "struggling" to find employment in Nigeria simply because of his name.

Speaking on Nigeria Info FM 99.3, George lamented the widespread hunger and anger in the country, emphasising that the plight of ordinary Nigerians is what truly matters.

"Today in Nigeria, everywhere there is hunger and anger," he said.

George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, expressed concern about the bleak future facing Nigerian youth, stating, "Graduates are floating, no future, no hope; non-graduates are doing nothing."

He urged President Bola Tinubu to establish a special fund to empower young people and provide micro-credit opportunities for graduates.

"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."

George also criticised the First Lady's national library initiative, suggesting that funds could be better allocated from wealthy bank donors.

“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,” he lamented.

:Pained wailers. Your divide and rules tactics will never work in Yoruba land.

Pa Awolowo is from Ikenne, Ogun state but he controlled Ibadan and the entire Yoruba land. Saraki families are from Abeokuta and they're rulling Kwara State, some of the top politicians in Ibadan are from Ife, Osun state, majority of Ogun State politicians came from Oke Ogun, Oyo state.
Yorubaland is one and no cry cry baby can divide us.

Is Tinubu also holding Abia state treasury hostage for decades? How come poverty and hunger has gone so high that a woman now needs to sell her babies for survival? Abi you no see the report for front page? Instead of focusing on Abia where this is happening, your concern is Tinubu and Lagos abi?

AqualinaXYZ:
Wetin concern me and Abia State



For una mind anybody wey no support Tinubu na from south east



If Mr Macaroni and Tunde Ednut was on nairaland una for say them be ibo



Because na only yoruba and Ibo dey nairaland

Richtaiwo:
And you are not from SW either.

But why are not concerned with states that have been ravaged by hunger and poverty to the point that women have to start selling their babies for survival? But rather, talking about Lagos that is even a safe haven for economic migrants.

Between Lagos and that state, which one is Tinubu actually holding their treasury hostage for decades? If that is how state whose treasury are held hostage perform economically, is it not better Tinubu should go hold Abia treasury hostage?

Chief Bode George should go and enrol his children at a local orthopedic center for them to learn bone settings instead of disturbing Tinubu.
