Nigerians Reacts to El Rufai Daughters Unemployed Speech




Former Federal Capital Territory minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Thursday bemoaned the spate of unemployment in the country, saying despite his connections, he had yet to secure jobs for his two daughters, who are both holders of Masters Degrees.
"Forty-two per cent of Nigerian youths are unemployed. I have two daughters with Masters Degrees and they are unemployed. They have been at home for more than a year and I cannot get a job for them." he said.
Apparently, the speech did not go down well with some if not all Nigerians, yeah I read through all the hate comments on the major sites that published the post. Here are some of the reactions via comments on blogs/sites to the issue...let's see if you agree with them...
Punchng.com:
Chuks Samuel: Your daughters should send their CV's to Nigerian Airways,Ajaokuta steel Co., Delta Steel, Aluminium Smelting Co. Ikot-Abasi, just to mention a few of the numerous job opportunities your privatisation effort created.Whither leadership, a la Nigerian style.
Anebira: Typical silver spoon daughters who were obviously forced by their parents to go to school and get degrees. Now they sit at home, are fed and sheltered in luxurious homes, stay on Facebook 24/7, while their wealthy father looks for jobs for them. Mallam El-Rufai, that you are looking for jobs for your daughters just shows how elistist you are and how spoilt your daughters are. Most average Nigerian youths look for jobs themselves, carry around their CVs, or even try self-employment.
If your daughters are unemployed, then they have become - like other youths their age - hapless victims of the weak system which you helped to create. Other parents I know wouldn't say "I can't find jobs for my daughters". Rather, to demonstrate their children's independence, they would say "My daughters have not found jobs yet".
Paulo:  Mallam, I have always respected you but you failed this time. Was it your mum/dad who found you a job as FCT minister and PIB? How can you say you can't find job for your daughters with masters degree? So all of you are the same, always ensuring job for relatives. They need to study more because PHD holders drives lorries and trailers with Dangote company. My advise is that they should further their education on demolition or privatization or give them out for marriage or sell some of the lands you acquired in Abuja to start up demolition business for them simple. Please stop wasting peoples time with these your rubbish message because I have deducted who you are throwing the punch at about unemployment and that is for Jonathan government. How many jobs did you create when you were FCT minister? Instead you paid employees with US dollars meaning our naira is rubbish. So how do you intend to find job for your daughters?
Linda Ikeji's blog:
Okoye: This man always seek public attention,let him start an entrepreneurship firm for them with his stolen wealth or are they seeking for a job that will fit their father's status?
Anonymouw: He can't find jobs for his daughters or he can't find jobs in the "juicest" of offices for them as he is no longer in the corridors of powers? Take a chill pill sir, twitter warrior!
Anony: shut up el rufai! Pathetic politicians wo wil criticise the presnt govt at any given opportunity. If dia r no jobs for ur dotas notin stops dem frm venturin into biz. The nigerian mentality is go to skul n get a job wch is killin our youths. Its high tym we learnt hw to generate money instead of waitin for the govt's monthly chicken change called salary. Linda ikeji is self employed n is a millionaire!!!

Dailypost.com.ng:
Hadiza: Mallam maybe instead of waiting for jobs, your two daughters should get up and create jobs. With your connections, wealth and their level f exposure they have no business waiting for employment, they should be employers of labour!
Onyaye: You trained them wrongly what are they still doing in your house most you be the one to get them job let them seach like every other nigeria
Ishaq: Who cares about what your daughters don't have,you people killed nigeria,you did nothing @ your time but join the "have my share of the cake too" moreover your daughters I know want their own share of the cake too,they can't settle for a low income as any other starter would. So all na #wash!

Ladun's blog:

Let him pay them allowances in dollars as he did when he was FCT minister to NYSC members he has as personal staff,he was dozing out money because it was not coming out from his pocket.Sins of the father have visited his children.
I'll go with trying to play on our intelligence... Who is he fooling... Smh...He should have just said they don't want to work or the ones he got them didn't match their standard! that'll have been more easy to swallow.... Lol... :)
Dey r unemployed but not broke or poor
Help me tell el Rufai that unemployment
 get grade. His daughters have a better standard of living than many suit and tie wearing people working on the island. Unemployed ppl struggle to eat, enter molue, buy N100 recharge cards on their not-smart phones, washed the clothes they wore today last night. I could go on. In which of these categories does his daughters fall into.

 Nairaland:
Mega Mega: El rufai should go and sit on a long thing. That man is one fellow Nigerians should never believe. He is a green snake in a green grass. Never trust him! His daughters are 'searching' for jobs! Big lie!!!
Abacus: What you all failed to understand is, the 2 daughters will not go hungry as well they will not eat from dustbin. They have secured future. What will be the fate of those without rich parents? This is what the man is trying to talk about. You all leave the message murdering the messenger.. Nawa to you all. Lemme share this with you.. someone sent this to me this morning "Do you have any programmer/web admin that is job hunting? There is vacancy but salary is 40k".. I thought he said "400k".. Already started calling my friends to send me their cvs.. and to look again.. the only response I have is "LOL". In as much I know people job hunting, I CAN never send them this offer because it's .. don't have the right word yet. RIDICULOUS!Mallam El-Rufai ride on.. we need people like you to tell them the truth.God bless El-Rufai and his household. God bless me too.

Babybos: When Elrufai was a minister/governor of FCT,how many jobs did he created, what you can not do, stop blaming others. The press need to blackout most politician who are irrelevant and useless...
