Can we all se the thought process of a typical Nigerian graduate? Is this not the same thought process members of National Association Of Unemployed Graduates (NAUG) have? If I am an employer of labour, will I be willing to employ a graduAte that thinks like the OP? If employers of labour claim majority of our grdauates are unemployable they will all claim recruitments processes are biased. In the OP lametation post, he listed at list two distinct areas ( mechanics and building ), where gradutes can come in and improve service delivery and quality of work done. Unfortunately, the average Nigerian graduate can not think, the opportunities are there but they are all looking for office jobs. If this is how our university graduates think, it is safe to assume university education in Nigeria has failed. The system still throws up a few good ones like the '' FARMTECAHER '' on this thread. The '' FARMTEACHER'' is a very good example of a graduate, and I can bet if she decides to work for someone, it is just matter of time before a firm scoops her up. 1 Like |

validplanet: it really makes no sense to go to the university considering the fact that those that didnt go to university get more job opportunities than the graduates. there is virtually no work in the society today that cant be done by illiterates who just acquired their skills outside the 4 walls of the university, so whats the point?l...let's get it clear people university education is just a vehicle to a destination n not vice versa .been a graduates doesn't grantee an individual to direct fortune in life but with much work n digging down out talent you might be on your way,we must understand many graduate today feels their years of study should be compensated with big jobs n if it doesn't come they can humble to learn a skill .....think computers n robots are taking the jobs imagine ATMS, n see what times are ...#GOD BLESS U HUSTLE |

Bandit C.: you're wrong saying she got it wrong. Whereas the comparative suffix "-er" & "-est" have limited application, more and most are limitless in application. So it is mostly advised to use the latter when you are not if -er & -est would be applicable 1 Like |

Graduates who want to avoid being unemployed or labelled as unemployable should learn new skills. The degree is just a basic certificate on which you can build and excel in your chosen field. Wise ones are going to vocational schools for training or going into apprenticeship. Occasionally, some companies recruit from the recognized ones. Look out for adverts on training programs especially in the oil sector. The problem is that most graduates will see such as being for artisans alone. Fact is, sometimes employers appreciate the acquisition of new skills apart from the certificate which thousands equally possess. Also note that most laid off bankers find it difficult to get new jobs at good entry levels. Reason? Most do monotonous jobs which live little room for varied experience and they never have the time to learn new skills. Every employer wants someone who can make his job easier. Be unique/a professional, have something distinct to offer to make your job search easier or strive to start something on your own like the Teacher/Farmer. Beautiful combination! |

Thanx and you do have a point in the aspect of being priviledged to attend a good private school. Its all because of the quality of teachers and that's one of the reasons I am interested in primary education and teaching in college of Education because that's where teachers are trained..... I am not laying all my emphasis on being fluent in English as a criteria for being a "quality graduate",I was trying to tell the op that most graduates are not better than those people he called illiterates and besides being fluent, many of them don't even know what they are doing or what they really want,they just want to be called graduates. You will be disappointed when you see some corp members or teaching practice students teaching. Sometime in army day second sch nasarawa, a corp member was reported by the students and during an interview,she cudnt define Economics or remember her project topic and she is a graduate of Economics!... So many times graduates have been disgraced or embarrassed in their PPAs or where they went for interview and they stil call a mechanic or a tailor who can express himself and uses his skills to put food on his table an illiterate! Who is fooling who?
