Prominent Nigerian actor, filmmaker, and director Kunle Afolayan has voiced his significant frustration regarding what he perceives as a troubling level of incompetence within the nation.

In a post on his Instagram account, Afolayan highlighted the contradiction of people lamenting unemployment while simultaneously failing to perform effectively when presented with job opportunities.

“I am so saddened by the high level of incompetence in our beloved country. A lot of people cry about not having a job, but when they get one, how efficient are they at it? I’m so pissed,” he wrote.

Afolayan’s remarks ignited extensive discussion on his platform, with numerous individuals agreeing that workforce inefficiency is a critical concern in Nigeria.

His views resonated with several peers in the entertainment sector, who took to the comments to share their own experiences.

Actress Biola Bayo remarked, “Come ask me o. They’ll apply for jobs, call for an interview and won’t show up. The ones you pick will not resume work, or the one who resumes doesn’t want to work.”

Media personality Stephanie Coker added, “I spent the whole weekend discussing this.”

Comedian and skit creator Kiekie shared similar sentiments, stating, “I am screaming!! This!! It’s alarming!! If you have all the money in this world, you’ll still not get results! The spirit of excellence is zero.”
