Seeing the topic, I was like ooh gald, who are this people trying to deceive again, I want to like start calling guys to know how far, that I heard that they are all gainfully employed or engaged in some form of agricultural activities & was not surprised at all finding out that it wasn't N.I.G.

How does this affect the average Nigerian?

All time low for a rapidly declining economy?
Tell that to the marines .

@OP, My belief might sound very incredulous but let me say it all the same. If we have very perfect statistics it might appear that Nigeria has created more jobs than this. But we have a very shameful census and statistics.
Again, the US population is almost 2times higher that Nigeria's so our numbers may not truly tally.
I know that until you personally get a job what I say now sounds like gibberish to you. But Nigerian unemployment level has been so embarassing so much so that even if you create 3M jobs it'll still be like pouring a truck load of salt into an ocean. Though big, but impart will still be infinitesimal.
Govts dont create jobs by directly employing people. Just make small economic policy adjustments to favour investments and people will create jobs. Nigeria has greater capacity to create more jobs cos it still has huge infrastructure deficit so as it tries to fill that gap it'll mean jobs for the people.
Let me cease this space to urge my beloved Nigerian youths, never complain about job scarcity, and never wait on govt for job. Tell yourself that nobody owes you any help--not even your parents. So fight the battle. I know it's damn frustrating here!
But for heaven's sake, so many of us are honestly VERY un-employable even after higher education.
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.
