The Real Reason Most Nigerian Graduates Are jobless by Nobody: 6:08pm On Dec 05, 2014 |
Is Not Because Of Unemployment Rate Nor The Govt. The title of this update might sound absurd, but it remains the fact. I have discovered that most Nigerian graduates (even the ones that graduated with a 'pass') rates themselves so high and depends so much on white collar job. When you try to introduce them to little business or jobs, they wouldn't hesitate to remind you that they are graduates... If you are a graduate and so what? They don't think of any thing apart from working in a big company with fine office and a company car lol. I think people should stop this mentality of believing that going to the university is to gain employment because its really not it. Going to the university should be to broaden your thinking faculty, enhancing your person/personality, equipping your mind set and acquiring leadership and entrepreneur skills. Who says a graduate can't be a shoe maker, tailor, vendor, small scale business man/woman, caterer,etc? A graduate can do all these, the purpose for your education is to help you add swag to whatever you want to do so as to differentiate your style and that of an illiterate. A graduate can be selling "moimoi", yes you read it right "moimoi"... Add swag to it and you will see bankers, doctors, engineers, politicians, etc rushing to eat your moimoi... Everything in life is all about packaging. White collar job is not meant for everybody, the earlier you get that into your head, the better and faster you get yourself self employed. Your going to the university is also to make you an employer of labour. There are lot of people that made it without seeing the four walls of the university, so you that's a graduate should do very much better than them. The truth is, I don't believe that there is no job, the only problem is that people are sometimes too selective because they see themselves as graduate and can't see themselves collecting peanut as salary. But the truth is, that small job can be what will expose you to the big job you dream of. Instead of sitting at home, why not just manage it. You sit at home and complain of how the govt has not reduced unemployment and your mates are busy establishing themselves in one way or the other. A graduate can be a hair stylist, just add swag to it and you are good to go. Some will say they want to start up business, but they are looking for millions to start it up as a 'graduate wey dem be naa' lol. But you can actually start up a small business and grow from there... Most billionaires started small. You are a graduate and you have been jobless for years, please take that your certificate and hide in your box, ask the illiterate millionnaire how he made it and start up something. Stop waiting for the govt, the Nigerian govt that I know will not change unless God sends a Messiah and I know the Messiah has come and gone since 2000 years ago. It will not take you time to learn tailoring, baking, catering, trade, Machenic,etc... Imagine all the years you have wasted looking for a job, you would have started counting at least in thousands by now if you decided to get yourself self made. Even as you are learning that trade or handwork, you can as well be looking for a job. 3 Likes 1 Share |
