Farooq Kperogi, Associate Professor of journalism and emerging media at Kennesaw state university, took to his Facebook page to express his discontent with the Buhari presidency and current youth employment situation in the country.
The columnist and blogger recalled that earlier this month Vice President Yemi Osinbajo assured Nigerians of the effective commencement of a number of the social investment programmes, including the selection of the 200,000 unemployed graduates to get jobs.
He wrote: “October will end today in a few hours in Nigeria. Have the 200,000 jobs been created? If yes, where are they? If no, why haven’t they been created? You see, as I’ve always said, lies and propaganda have a short life span. Truth doesn’t.
This government perpetually operates in the future tense: “we will,” “we will,” “we will,” and more “we will.” You hardly read of “we have” because “we have” requires concrete evidence, and concrete evidence is the mortal enemy of propaganda.”
He then added: “Adam Ahmed Yahya said I can share his story. He is one of the 1370 people who lost their jobs in Onne Port, Rivers state, this October, the very month Osinbajo said government would create 200,000 jobs. They have 3 batches of retrenchment. October is over. It’s now November, December sack is coming too.”
One more message Mr Kperogi got from his subscribers reads: “We lost 1370 jobs in Onne port Rivers state alone in October. I am 1 of them. Intels Nigeria group of companies. For ur info.” That’s a private message I just received in my inbox. That broke my heart.”
Some Nigerians also shared their thoughts on the matter. They wrote:
