eagle,eye: Even let him record it before getting the job and record him when he is harassing for a cut. Wicked and selfish arseholes like that need their lives destroyed. Take the job just for the purpose of getting him sacked. So when he goes looking for a job, he would hopefully meet people like himself. |

ayobase:Its not a bad idea but i think we need more than that. We need a formidable body( a youth organisation) against a plague; bad leadership. Voices can he heard alright but protest wont shake heartless people. There has to be a systematic non voilent means of booting these old cargos out of the vital positions of authority. It could start from just a web site and anything is possible. Maybe a youth party? |

Well, he believes in the NDE cos thats what they say they have acheieved in providing jobs for graduates Skills so you would start competing with shoe makers,hair dressers, they probably might get u a keke(NAPEB) and start contesting with drivers too!

Heavy sigh...after i rounded up the national youth service scheme,i decided to apply into a particular state ministry of health(sorry dnt want to mention the state here)after sometime myself with other applicants were made to understand that jobs are being given to indigenous applicants,bt we were told to exercise patient that soonest we will be called...up till today we are still expecting their calls. This country is just full of tribalism and sentiments when it comes to helping and job opportunities. With this great association (NAUG) i believe we are heading to the top to stop miscreants,job sales,discrimination, sentiments,tribalisand other unlawful acts by employers. 1 Like |

I feel sorry for we the so call "Leaders of Tomorrow"....hmmmm we are here reasoning, sharing ideas and views on the difficulties we face, the pains and the agony we went through while applying for jobs and how to proffer a lasting solution to put an end to the menace of unemployment that has eaten deep into us and some of us are talking "gibberish". If you can't contribute meaningfully to the topic; is it a must you talk ?... Plss let's use our brain to think and reason something reasonable and meaningful coz its not up there for decoration.... #peace# |

ehixking: It is not that I have never thought of those points you mentioned above. 60% of Nigeria are youths, and if we can be able to stand under a canopy of one voice, then we are keen to bringing change to the country. My brother, forget about liaising with government over this matter. The government virtually rules in the affaiars of these companies. What will we do if the governement wouldn't yield to our PLEAD. This government is not our friend. Take itor leave it. We are not part of the plan sef. Sebi u can see! Well, we can still go ahead with this plan, and see the outcome. But never compare what the youths of a country would do with what the elder statemen would. Youths of this Nation must be ready to sacrifice if we REALLY wanna experience this change in our generation....many have died in vain...for how long...can't we just do it and nail it once and for all. Abi u dey fear sey sey the policemen and soldiers will just rain bullets on us cos we dey protest. The world is more civilised than that. The government will be accountable to the world. We all know the crime! It is like fighting for independence...look at South Africa today. Wasn't it as a result of the sacrifice made? U can imagine how those men used us back then, without even pursuing the case of those that died in the struggle of FUEL SUBSIDY. SELFISHNESS. The youths were just being used for selfish gains. They never had us at heart. Where are they when students have been home for long due to ASUU and Government at stalemate. Will u say they don't know about how graduates are being exploited. Many questions. But, why haven't they risen to OCCUPY the nation yet to actualising the FUTURE we have singing over 10 yrs ago? Abi we are not leaders of tomorrow again. And is the 'tomorrow' not 'now'? Should we say Fuel subsidy is more important than the Education and creation of Jobs. Just as they are cowards, so are the youths greater cowards and fools! We have many groups that are liaising with government for job creations, but what is the effect. NOTHING! Government no send us.....2015 is coming, what's the plan? NO PAIN, NO GAIN. JUST TAKE IT AS IT IS! Government needs to be surprised! 2 Likes |

ehixking: After my service in Abuja I tried so hard to get a job after several applications,I finally got a contract job at the Ministry of Agriculture and rural development in wuse zone 5 in abuja that shares a fence with the PDP secretariat. We were employed to register Nigerian Farmers so they would be eligible to get fertiliser at a subsidised rate. When we started they were paying us per data entry a sum of 80 naira. So we can work for how long we can and at least get something tangible for the effortThat's a sad story, my dear all will be well, I have a dream we'll all work and earn Big money in Nigeria (-_-) Amen In other News Mark Zuckerberg Has threatened to Ban Goodluck Jonathan's Account on facebook, He said the curses Our President is Getting on his Facebook Account is disrupting Facebook server. |

After service, considering the rate of Unemployment in Nigeria, i gathered all the money i saved, and travelled to Dubai with a 2 months Visa in search of Greener pasture. I toiled the street of Dubai moved from firm to firm, Office to Office, I was racially abused, Discriminated, insulted by people from countries i know Nigeria was meant to be better than, i was offer all sort of petty Jobs, i refused hoping for a better offer. Finally 2 months was up, I came home empty handed, lost close to #600,000 (Money i started saving from my IT dayz) in that fruitless adventure. That's my story 5 Likes 1 Share |

AyodejiCharles: Honestly, I am not totally in support of Graduates looking for non existent jobs. Even the population of youths in Nigeria alone is enough to know that the job availability to Job seekers ratio is just unimaginable . That we are all individually successful without the help of government doesn't mean we should care less about collective interest of this Nation. That is gonna be SELFISHNESS! Even, the government (regulatory body) will be demanding for exorbitant amount of money to approve a SMALL scale business. The government no dey help the development of this country since the youths are denied many opportunities to enhancing productivity. 3 Likes |

A lot of billionares are in this country and many of them are not ready to establish at least a company. How do u expect foreigners to come and invest in you country when u have money bur can't . Instead they go outside and build companies and come back which money to flex. They now employ graduates as their gate man. They prefer to do quick business than to build companies. Just look at your state and count billionaires u have, how many of them have company that employ at least 100 people? The oyinbos that have investments in this country that benefit the people are not even rich compare to our own billionaires. A lot of things is wrong not only government |

Its so pathetic we now hv a country where it's easier 4 an SSCE holder 2 get a job than a graduate. 4 d guy talking about MSc; its basically "purewater". Nobody needs 'ur MSc or watever 2 employ u. The goal of every biz is 2 minimize cost so there's really no place 4 all 'ur advanced degrees. And 2 those blaming d Indians; i don't really think it's their fault because they're trained 2 be entrepreneurs in their country unlike here where our educational system is all about passing exams without any form of value-addition on graduates. Nigeria is alrdy in a very deep shit; very soon alarm go blow. With d way tins are going in no time graduates will be forced 2 beg most so called "Big men" and CEOs to employ them by force even 2 d point of holding a knife 2 their throat! End time tinz i tell u!!! 1 Like |
