when GEJ said that unemployment rate has reduced , some was like "ah but I'm still here 'GEJ don lie again ooo! " but the fact is most of those that came out with good result are well EMPLOYED!

The Nigerian society doesn't encourage craft and hand works as such, one's best option is to explore education. Upon graduation, those with brilliant ideas are not encouraged as it is difficult to raise initial capital stock and worse still, the interest rates offered by our banks is extremely ridiculous thus, making white collar job the only option.

Ooh, you are so EVIL. You made two boys lose their jobs for your selfish reason. God will judge you. And come to think of it, they are not graduates o. What do you want them to be doing?

It's just annoying when people read through a post without trying as hard as possible to get the point. Many attended schools truly but they ain't even applying one bit of it to life.

What the op meant was not a matter of you totally abandoning your hard-earned certificate, but divert the knowledge you gained before earning this certificate into something worthwhile. You can't because you finished school with whatever grade but couldn't get a job and then sit for months or years broke without doing any other thing. If you hunt for job for a while and you ain't seeming to make a headway, bro, find something else doing instead of staying broke and remaining a liability to your family.

I'm a fresh graduate of Physiology, LAUTECH, had my 6months IT in 2012, during the last trimester of the training, I learnt tailoring before returning back to school, I resumed school with a sewing machine and started making a few hundreds to thousands in addition to the pocket money they sent at home. Did this all through my finals and I never regretted it.

Since I finished school, I've been sewing and training more alongside, making few few cash for my daily upkeep; my mother is free and not bothered about me like she used to be, she believes I can take care of myself now, I ain't longer a liability.

I have a lot of friends who envy me just because since we finished from school in May, they've had nothing doing and been broke, to renew their BIS subscription na gbege, but me, that has never been a problem.

Awaiting service for November, while I'm on service, I'm planning on making my business bigger, and I've been saving towards that...if after this youth service, I don't get a good job on time, do you think i'll mind?! No, I won't, 'cause I have a source of income I can still sustain myself with for long.

In summary, the op's point was just that, get something doing to while you have nothing (white collar job) doing, and don't stay impoverished.

Cheers.

#MyExperienceContinue: i used my savings to start carwash biz in Feb '12 and after few month,i became employer of labour, having 5 boys working for me. April 2013, the Abuja task force burnt my carwash machine arrest 3 of my boys whom we bail with 4500 each, in short we were sent parking from the location. Tried to get another good location yield no result but finally settled to start somewhere but expenses increase y income decreases. Not to finish up my savings, i return to village October 2013,

#My small phone cant contain the story at once hence the break. #MyExperienceContinue: I started farming in the village during 2014 farming season but poor market, expensive and inadequate labour, CAPITAL are serious discourager.
In essence, self employed isnt easy in our country especially if you dont have wealthy and influenced background.

samuel25:
Kudos to the Op, but d painful aspect of it is that many advocates of 'start small' base their write up on imagination. The truth is that our environment didnt support such. #MyExperience: Graduated in 2007, went for NYSC 2008/9, Busy searching for work frm march-sept '09, Started recharge card biz in Sept '09 when d biz started booming having moved frm retailer to wholesaler, d Abuja devt control demolished my kiosk on Nov 2011, tried another location but things are not the same again.

But don't blame them! When your friend made it quick and large with a job at Chevron nkko?

You now want Ada Or Segun to start small by selling recharge card? When his classmate who works with etisalat is cruising a 2005 lexus aroung and feeling like a superstar?
