Renowned Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan recently voiced his frustration over the increasing incompetence in Nigeria’s workforce. On March 12, 2025, he took to Instagram to express his disappointment, saying:
“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.”
Afolayan’s remarks have sparked discussions among his colleagues and the public. Actress Biola Bayo shared her experiences, noting that many job applicants fail to attend interviews or lack commitment after being hired.
Media personality Stephanie Coker mentioned spending an entire weekend discussing this issue, while comedian Kiekie highlighted the alarming lack of excellence, stating that even with abundant resources, achieving desired results remains challenging due to this incompetence.
These reactions underscore a growing concern about inefficiency within Nigeria’s workforce, prompting calls for improved commitment and excellence in professional settings.
