Wow!! Nice one!!
Hope their voices will be heard sha..
..
I'm patiently waiting for the NATIONAL ASSOCAITION OF ASUU VICTIMS.(NAAV)
..
All izz well!

Those graduates that are working in one factory or petrol station earning less than 50k u better join this group. Consider your self under/unemployed.

For those who do not understand. When the Arab spring was to start, it started on social networks however this is not going to be like the Arab spring because this association is will not tow the path of violence.
For those saying after getting unemployed why continue staying in the association. The meeting is where the name will be changed this is just to catch attention of all those concerned. It'll rather be something...Against Unemployment which will make it open for every Nigerian[entrepreneur.employed, rich or poor ] who wants to kick against unemployment now and for generations unborn to join.
What you people should understand is that this is not just unemployment fight but equally industrial revolution as its one of the key to solving unemployment.
God bless Nigeria.

Nice one is there any group on BBM or Whasapp for South South Zone? although am presently in Osun

This is a good motive. I pray it yield a good result. Youths have been sideline for a long time and it needs to stop. Imagine a situation where federal jobs meant for qualified graduates been sold at to political cronies at rate of 100k to 250k, nsitf and civil defence job for instance. For how long re we going to hold our peace. The time is here and something needs to be done. If you have time pls be there. Let the revolution start, we re not fighting for ourselves alone but for the unborn generation. Finally,IF THERE IS ANY POLITICAL CRONY THAT WISH TO DERAIL THIS THREAD,I PROPHESY THAT YOU WL NOT LIVE TO EAT THE FRUITS OF NIGERIA. So shall it be.

While this is a vey good move, but, wait a minute, unemployed graduates, where would they raise money to finance this association?.

How come no one is talking about Underemployed?

I wud ave luv to be there but no TP from calabar to lagos. Wish u guys well, nice initiative

Majority of those in this association are somewhere 'managing'.. Not like everybody sit at home doing nothing..


As long as you get something in form of wages/salary somehow, somewhere, then you're not an unemployed graduate..

The problem with Nigerians is we think having certificates should guarantee at least a level of success in life. This is only true if you open your mind to the opportunities around you and you can add value or create something of value. Unfortunately, all the young lads that made new money in the last 25yrs are not graduates. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg etc are not graduates, they created something of value and the rest became history. But we have been so programmed to throw certificates at everything. Another issue is some graduates can not really add value because what they studied is not really what the immediate society needs, so they become disappointed after school,when the easy life expected by acquiring a certificate becomes a mirage.

What I can infer from this association is young unemployed graduates that feels society owes them jobs because they are graduates,unfortunately, it does not work that way.

Come together to share ideas, poll resources together with your counterparts in similar fields that you come across by being a member, but if it is to gather CV's with the hope of securing jobs, I'm sorry it is a bad idea. The agric graduate example the OP gave is a good example. Has this young graduate considered relocating to a LG in OYO and start small there? He/she can now bring the produce to Lagos, create better packaging and use his connections to create a niche of customers.

The truth of the matter is entry level jobs are no longer available or they are very few to come by. But, there is still so much to be done that graduates should not complain of lack of something to do. Yes, we can not all be entrepreneurs, but look critically around there is something to be done or improved upon.

As a young unemployed graduate a few years back, I was making up to 80,000 a month by being a basketball instructor to kids in private schools. A friend and I approached these schools in Ikeja and we gave the school principals our proposal. I played basketball in school and I know most of the game masters understand the fundamentals of only soccer and maybe volleyball. We were not employed but allowed to come in four times in a week and teach the kids. We had 40kids per class and four classes and we charged 3000 Naira per kid.
The beauty of it all, each class is just for an hour 2pm to 3pm. So I have time to search for work and still be a part time instructor. I know a law graduate that makes at least 150k a month doing makeup on weekends . I recently told her to build on that instead of bombarding people with she needs a job.
I will wrap it up by saying if truly you have something of value to add to an organisation, it is just a matter of time, that job will find you.

What some students studied in uniersity is useless e.g somene 1 dat sudied zoology, where wld such person work?

Ewoo...una don move site. This is good. Still following.

lasunray: Booking a space! Nice initiative guys. let those intrested show it here pls..

God must punish poverty, unemployment and actors/actresses of unemployment generation. My body, soul and spirit are here!
