Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has urged Nigerian youths seeking relocation from the country to consider opportunities they have in Nigeria and stay back.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Arise TV, the former Rivers State Governor claimed that there are juicy opportunities back in Nigeria that those seeking greener pastures in other countries may not have.<\/p>\n

According to him, there are possibilities of someone to suddenly emerge as a leader in the country.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI\u2019ve always discouraged the people who want to leave the country. I say, if you want a 9 to 5, yes you can always get that when you leave the country, but you can never get the opportunity we have in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can just wake up one day, you become a minister and you can just wake up one day and you become a governor. It just happens. So, if you are looking for opportunities, please stay back in Nigeria but if you are looking for a 9 to 5, then you can go.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former presidential aspirant also blamed the country\u2019s economy for the ravaging crimes in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Nigerian economy is too small and cannot accommodate everybody, leading to robbery and other crimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf all of us start working in Shell now, there would be no time to go and rob or kill because you leave at 6am and by the time you come back at 6pm, you will be tired, so, my advice to them is to get your degree if you can and if you can\u2019t, well, I am lucky\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
