favoritism is killing us.in nigeria,young undergraduates are highly disadvantaged species.it is just so disheartening to see brilliant minds wasting away.but there are still people who get jobs based on merits....we say our govt and politicians are corrupt but people who were employed on merit and have risen to top positions in service use their office to empower their undeserving relations.we keep waiting and praying for a change.we should rise up and be that change...God bless nigerian youths!! 1 Like |

African educational systems have surprising outcomes. The smartest students pass with First Class and get admissions to Medical and Engineering schools. The 2nd Class students get MBAs and LLBs to manage the First Class students. The 3rd Class students enter Politics and rule both the 1st and 2nd Class students. The "Failures" enter the Underworld of crime and control the politicians and the businesses. And, best of all, those who did not attend school become Prophets and everyone follows them.... What a paradox and an irony of life!☹ #copyright #faajihouse #criticalthinking 22 Likes |

88natzy: Please fellow Nairalanders, I am a graduate of microbiology from one of the prestigious universities here in Nigeria, I am result oriented and can work under any condition. Log onto http://www.w3schools.com and start learning how to write code. Come back here in six months time with some level of competence and I ensure you get employment starting with low 6 figure pay. 1 Like |

I can't forget that day I met a REP who was pestered to help some guys get jobs in a Federal agency. He was willing to help, but showed me letters from other "powerful people, traditional rulers etc from his home state, But I was wondering, this is just one "honorable", if all REPS, Senators and political jobbers are to have slots, what happens to the ordinary Nigerian, what happens to merit? |

Meanwhile waiting for your dream job. Nigerian graduates need to learn a trade, come up with an idea , make a product. It could be as easy as writing a book-(the internet is looking for stories and content) there is much suffering and thus much story. u can learn a computer program. build a website. Foe Eg if u write a very an interseting novel or book u can sell it to Nolly wood or even Hollywood but it has to be very compelling. The world needs stories for entertainment. i believe there are a billion stories to tell in Naij. There is a saying that if u build it they will come i.e the people will come for whatever product but u have to build it first 3 Likes |

Nigeria is messed up at all levels. Yet some dark minds will be praising a government that has not made creation of employment opportunities for millions of our youths a priority even after 5 years in power. My realistic advice to all our graduates is to raise some little money and go on to do masters/PhD in universities where programmes are not delayed and are cheap.UniZik Awka ranks high on these. With the expansion in the university system,lecturing jobs are many and easy to get by the prepared. And very many lecturers have returned into public service,politics and corporate world as key participants and leaders. It is an assured but bent pathway to our dreams. Come to think of it,4 years spent looking for a job can be spent earning a masters and a PhD with guaranteed jobs even after the masters and in the first year of the PhD. 2 Likes |

@Op i understand your plight having passed thru 4yrs of radical unemployemt and underemployment...I am proposing a project that will run concurently with NYSC where graduates will devote 6months of their service year for Skill acquisition after which the govt. Provides minimum of #200,000 per corp member to start up something pending when a good job comes...I call it Graduate Entrepreneural Internship Scheme...just that the Govt. Will say "No Money"..i also suggest graduates apply for Grants and Loans for Business start-Ups e.g YOUWIN Grants,BOI loans etc. "With God all things are Possible" |

luvola: You just hit the nail on the head. Why wasting years and burning candles to get 2.1 only to preach skill acquisition for you after school and the promoter of this skill acquisition campaign will connect his or her wards to a job through nepotism. God help us all.Because they are evil. I just hate hearing about the damnèd thing. Then, what have I wasted 7 years for to get 2.1? Heads needs to start rolling in this country - from the top. That is why I see the militants to be more sensible. How I wish this evil bokoharam people will set there bombs against Bullion vans ATM Aso rock etc. instead of poor innocent citizens that are just looking for how to put food on their table.

Many seek jobs that few create. Little Demand and Excess Supply leads to bottle necks. Its a global phenom NOT just in Nigeria My advice: If you don't find a job, make one. Yes its not easy. Is anything good in life easy? The guys making jobs are humans, not spirits. |
