55-year-old unemployed man laments over hardship
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a 55-year-old Nigerian man had expressed displeasure over the state of the economy and how unemployment had become the order of the day. Speaking with Legit TV, the man lamented the hardship he was experiencing due to joblessness.
He said he goes about begging to feed his family. The man, who said he had been jobless for two years, added that Nigerians did not experience the current level of hardship when ex-presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo were in power. He called on the government at all levels to change their style of governance so that the masses can get the dividends of democracy.
The man noted that it was important for Nigerian leaders to change their ways before the people started taking up arms. When asked what kind of job he was searching for, he disclosed that he was a driver and didn't mind driving a sachet water truck despite his age.
