Yes, you can always get 9-5 job when you leave the country, but you can never get the opportunity you get in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can just wake up one day and become a minister in Nigeria. You can just wake up one day, and you become a governor. It just happens, I don\u2019t know how the country operates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you\u2019re looking for opportunities please stay back in Nigeria. If you\u2019re looking for 9-5, safety and all that\u2026 one of my friends said to me that supposing you\u2019re waiting for an opportunity and they kill you? Well, maybe that\u2019s your destiny.. honestly, the opportunities are here,\u201d Amaechi said.<\/p>\n<p>Reminded that the type of opportunities he referred to is only available to an insignificant number of citizens, Amaechi said, \u201cYou just assumed the opportunities is about being in public office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m giving that example now. There are about 200 million Nigerians, just assume that you start cooking moi moi and you sell to one million Nigerians at one naira. How much is that? I think that\u2019s about 10m naira.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former minister emphasized that addressing the negative effect of the \u2018japa\u2019 phenomenon in Nigeria requires an approach that focuses on improving governance systems.<\/p>\n<p>He outlined the economy, insecurity, and a lack of job creation as factors driving citizens outside, stating that only the government can address these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Amaechi, however, asserted that Nigerians cannot complain about the suffering and lack of economic opportunities after voting their leaders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m avoiding where you\u2019re going to. You can\u2019t discuss the issue of Nigeria without discussing politics. It\u2019s because you have to discuss the issue of the economy. Who manages the economy? The government. You have to discuss the issue of safety and security, who manages safety and security? The government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to discuss the issue of creation of opportunities, creation of employment, and all that. So, what you can tell is Nigerians get what they want. Nigerians get what they deserve. You don\u2019t complain after.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians at all time have had an opportunity to vote, whatever you voted for is what you deserve, but again, let\u2019s not go into politics,\u201d Amaechi added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has said that Nigerians deserve what they get as they have always had an opportunity to vote.
