Inojie recounted an interaction with a woman on a film set who told him she had studied Linguistics. According to him, he was surprised by her limited familiarity with some of the scholars and concepts associated with the discipline.
He said the experience reinforced his concerns about the employability of Nigerian graduates, while noting that the criticism does not apply to everyone.

“I was having a discussion with someone on set, she now said she studied Linguistics. She was so surprised and couldn’t believe it when I said ‘Oh, all these Noam Chomsky Children’. She was lost when we started discussing her course of study(Linguistics), meanwhile it’s an elective course for me. She was lost. I was really disappointed in her and that thing dey worry me.
