“The Country Is Forcing People” - Phyna Blasts Moniepoint CEO Over Workforce Comment
A fresh controversy is brewing online after Tosin Eniolorunda revealed that Moniepoint has hundreds of open roles but struggles to find qualified Nigerians to fill them. His remarks pointed to a growing skills gap, and concerns about the country’s talent. The statement quickly drew backlash but it was Phyna who amplified the conversation with a response that has since gone viral.
Reacting to the CEO’s comments, Phyna didn’t hold back:
“The country is forcing people to fool around. I will dust off my engineering certificate if the country gets better.”
According to her, the real issue isn't intelligence but a system that rewards the wrong things. She argued that many capable Nigerians are sidelined not by lack of skill, but by poor conditions and low pay.
Her response struck a chord with many Nigerians who feel that the issue isn’t a lack of intelligence or ability, but rather the harsh economic realities facing young people today. According to her, many are pushed into alternative means of survival not because they lack skills, but because the system doesn’t adequately reward or support them.
The exchange has since sparked divided opinions across social media. While some agree with Tosin Eniolorunda that there is a real gap in skilled labor, others strongly side with Phyna, arguing that poor wages, limited opportunities, and the rising cost of living are the real issues.
