St.Ola:


Yes it's possible, especially if enrolling for the Phd program from the standpoint of unemployment. How many organisations in Nigeria require the services of Phd holders outside of the academia? The lack of parity between the number of Phd graduates and the demand of such in industry in Nigeria, results to such reality.

And do you know there is acute shortage of PhD holders in the academia, some Uni have aspiring PhD holders as HOD, how many Poly and COED has a single PhD holder in her fold . We are talking of PhD here, the pinnacle of academic qualification shocked. No, I doubt seriously the statement credited to that woman and the so-called PhD holders should be thoroughly investigated, maybe they got theirs from those illegal Universities.

how many uni are recruiting? Getting the cert is one thing but getting recruited is another thing. In my alma mater (UNN) the department usually recruits not more than 2 or 3 grad assistants a year with only a bachelors. These are usually first class degree holders or similar. They are then groomed and get their masters/phd either within nigeria but commonly outside nigeria. The fellows that register for masters and phd due to unemployment remain mostly unemployed even after acquiring the certificates. Even in the usa, phds are suffering from unemployment.

IT IS NOT TRUE.This is probably an exaggeration.The truth is that there is a dearth of PhD holders.Anybody with a PhD and knows what he is doing will definitely get a job in the academia or research institutes.
There are so many new federal and state universities in need of PhD holders.What about Private universities?Except the person is not ready to leave Lagos to other parts of the country.

Gbawe: I think we read similar to this not too long ago when PHD holders were amongst those applying for driving vacancies in one of Aliko Dangote's companies.

Employment cannot be boosted appreciable if the centre remains unwilling to make efforts against current practices sabotaging the growth of the SME sector (the main employer of labour worldwide) and stifling economic prosperity of the nation.

How, as one example, can the SME sector grow when 70% of annual budgeted spending is used to recurrently fund governance and politics? Generally, far more help, as a matter of utmost urgency, should be available for the SME sector for a nation like Nigeria with a chronic and serious unemployment problem. This is not the case because spending the wealth of Nigeria profligately on politics, politicians and patronising offices/activities affiliated with governance is the self-destructive obsession of a myopic class of leaders Nigeria has had at the centre since 1999.

This Nigeria self, i tire but all hope is not lost. Get your hands dirty and your heart clean is the only solution i see for the unemployed. Even if you are doing same thing with an illiterate your education will give you a edge over others.

I don't think this information is true. How can 85% of the applicants have PhD and/or MSc? Does she mean 85% of the successful applicants? Her statement is as good as saying 85% of Nigerian graduates have Phd/Msc. I would like to believe that there are less PhD/Msc graduates in Nigeria than any other qualification set, therefore I would have expected more BSc/HND/OND/SSCE holders to apply.

Moreover, PhD graduates do not have to stoop so low. There are over 100 public universities in Nigeria to apply to. I don't even know the number of private universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Secondary Schools, etc in the country. Its more honorable for a PhD holder to apply to an educational establishment (even secondary schools), where they can teach, research, and continue to learn. People do not do PhD out of desperation (ideally). It is usually driven by wanting to learn more, and expand/contribute to knowledge. So it is absolutely bizarre to hear of PhD graduates applying to register people. How could they be idle?

Likely not correct but the main point remains about the dearth of jobs now forcing those who have attained the pinnacle of education to seek employment that should, with all due respect, be beneath them.

I really want to get married to my girlfriend but If I have no money or still hustling, I can't go on wid d plans cos i wouldn't want to make a mockery of myself by subjecting her to pains of not having wat ever she wants and I may die if I loose this girl cos as time goes on, she'll like to get married and if I don't show seriousness, i wouldn't blame her for leaving me but it'l really kill me.
