even if you 're blind. you can never compare obj time with GEJ. 're u guys blind not to notice the news companies springing up here and there....all the vehicle Manufacturing companies. all the agric companies springing up. here and there. who do they employ.


How can you guys lie so openly.

Nigerians who 're hard working 're sucking up to the goods of this administration and is creating jobs...

Nigerian economy is growing at increased pace. while u 're hear ranting. no worry stay home no go find wetin u go do. wait for Goodluck to spoon feed you...

You're joking, right? So you have monopoly over knowledge and truth. You must be superhuman!

The economic recession lasted over 5 years. Who was in power when Lamido Sanusi brought on questionable policies?

So in your limited knowledge & narrow view, the recession did not affect Nigeria? If you had lost millions in Nigerian stock market, you'd know better. Typical 9ja mentality, if you're not personally affected, all is well.

Everybody with a few mb to throw insult online is now an economic expert. Smh.

9jatriot:


You mean he has made more noise about it on the media. Nothing really on ground to show development except what the government itself tells us, no blueprint for development, no real tangible improvement. the only area they seem to have done well is fertilizer distribution, even then I am taking their word for it and not from real farmers.

Hope you know that real farmers are in the villages not those portfolio farmers always attending one meeting or the other in Abuja.

Acidosis:
I think you should also consider the number of businesses the Corporate Affairs Commission has registered over the past 4 years.

By "job" do you mean those who wear suit and resume office 7 am? or those engaging in profitable and legal ventures?

Take a trip to CAC office at Ikeja and you will be amazed at the rate at which Nigerians troop in to get their businesses registered.

I won't stop insulting Nigerians because our level of reasoning is sooo low.

How can a normal human being examine job creation in the context of Immigration and UBA job? Are you guys really du.m b or you just choose to be du. mb on special threads against GEJ?

Do you know the number of graduates who now own their private schools? farms? e-businesses? where was nairaland 6 years ago and where is Nairaland today? who are those paying for the massive adverts on Nairaland today? What are they advertising? Poo?

Why not take statistics from CAC, FRSC? Why don't you analyse the rate at which youths get legal wealth, build houses, buy cars these days?

The world has moved away from the era of Civil Service/Servant most of you are advocating. This is the same evil your past military governments planted in your fore heads & corrupt eyes such that your eyes now view JOB creation ONLY in the context of SHELL, NNPC & CBN - that can barely take 100 employees (all together) in a whole year.

By the way, who says Govt aren't recruiting? The army Is currently recruiting graduates; go and get a form and stop perpetrating propaganda on the Internet. Some of us are not blind. We are aware of the fact that Dangote has recruited thousands of graduates over the past few years. We can see new lecturers In the new institutions, etc.

No government is perfect; none can do all; no one!

Yes, "Registering biz names is not same as running businesses". I agree! But do you agree that the rate of business registration in a country is a good measure of the number of new (legitimate) business that spring up? You said that most private business have not still paid January salary. How do you know?

Yes it's true! Real business owners are complaining about this economy - they've been complaining for a very very long time. But one thing they all agree is that under Jonathan, it is getting better.

Ok! Look at Dangote, the richest man in Africa. He's now investing in Nigeria like never before. He's investing in agriculture. He's working on building new refineries. He's among the 6 big investors that will start mining companies in 2015. If that kind of man can confidently put his money into Nigeria's economy, then who are you to say that the economy is not growing?

Why not go update your knowledge on the Nigerian economy before continuing this discussion with me. Let me make it easier for you. Visit this link... http://exploreanthonyobuegbe..com/2015/01/9-smart-ways-president-jonathan-is.html

nonny001:


You see! That's one thing i love about GEJ. He's not about settling those that can make the loudest noise. He's about taking an holistic approach to solving Nigeria's Numerous problems. How i wish those poor village farmers can be savvy enough to use the internet (and be in nairaland). I'm sure this discussion will be different.

By the way, how come he succeeded in fertilizer distribution but not in Agriculture. If you can successfully get fertilizers to real farmers, what do you think will naturally happen to their yield? Think about that. All that is required is just COMMON sense.

yusufbida:
Dude we are not talking abt per4mas all we are saying is Employment rate, Are u sure u ve credit in English.

udeh3:


Nice one joor. People these days especially youth don't even have facts, they complain too much and becomes blind to seeing opporturnities. They tag every opporturnities created by the federal govt as a scam. Where are you facts to justify our argument that obj's regime did more employment dan gej. Let me start from here: 14 universities wherr established during GEJ, at least one of those universities has a working capacities of 750 direct staffs, not even d indirect staffs. What about the on-going NNPC recruitment which has already entered the interview stage. My fellow youth, I've nobody there, bt by the grace God I was shortlisted for the interview. Did any of you complaining here or comparing here applied for d FADAMA loan, YOU WIN and SURE-P? So painful because you just follow d multitude to comment because you just want to. What about the power sector, agricultural sector, today Nigeria is one of the exporter of cement, are they not people working in d cement or sugar factories. What about the automobile sector?

Get your fact... Information is power, what kills the nigerian youth is that they spent tireles time chating and not digging out information. There're more jobs now if only you can dig them out, nobody will bring any job to your door step. The world is al about choice, choose yours now!

God bless Nigeria!

Kingspin:
Which past leader has perform more better then Jonathan. Jona all the way joor.

kloride:
Did you guys consider economy melt down during this regime? Base your benchmark on this factor alone then you'll understand who have done more. My 10 kobo opinion though

realbomax:

get ur fact right b4 castigating someone. everything might nt be right with job searching but surep GIS has been fair in selection for d past 12 months eventhough it is nt permanent job but it's mission is still on course. GEJ has nt done well in stamping out corruptn finally but many pple who castigate him are as bad as he is. my experience is with state civil service job which fed govt is nt handling,can someone tell us how fairly has recruitment been conducted in his state without nepotism recently be it pdp or apc state?

jmaine:


Lovely submission . . . . . . .

iresearcher:




Guy park well joor.

What do you know about impact Analysis.

How does the rate of business registration translate to enhanced livelihood, job creation etc.

All for what you will eat, you cannot reason well.

Between 2004-2008, I had over 30 job invitations even when I had a good job.

Now I have so many young ones around me, i cannot even get them invited for a job
text unlike that period.

Guy, no let me abuse you oo

Obiagelli:
Let me invite my good friend barcanista to this thread. Thank God this thread is from the job section, no propaganda.

9jatriot:

One at a time, How do I know most coy have not paid? Peer group discussion.

Number of registration does not translate into development. Let me burst your bubble, some of those registrations are hurriedly done to siphon money by politicians, by awarding fictitious contracts to themselves. The oil subsidy investigation revealed as much. Businesses have been complaining, but 2013/2014 were particularly bad years for company. December 2014 when the dollars left 160 to 200 crippled the others who were floating. The worst of that has not even been heard yet. For emphasis, similar to Abacha days honest businesses are not smiling.

You guys keep referring to Dangote as if the guy suddenly got rich in 2013. That has been making money even when GEJ was probable sourcing for materials for his MSC or PHD. Moreover, he is not an SME.

Swiftboy:
Well we need more private investors like Dangote to employ more people. With more companies coming in there will be more options to choose from. The man you quoted have better arguement than yours. The said institutions that you rubbished means more indirect jobs as businesses will rise to meet needs in services and goods. Yes to transformation! Yes to Goodluck!

fm7070:
There is employment opportunity for those who care to embrace it.
AGRICULTURE! AGRICULTURE!! AGRICULTURE!!!
There is no perfect government anywhere in the world that can provide adequate employment for her citizen
Let's have a paradigm shift from looking for a job to creating jobs.

Because you are running around Bird flu you think you are doing something, Jonathan has killed the ambition in the youth, imagine this one, don't you want to be among the govt employed veterinary team to be inspecting poultry and emergency response for epidemic diseases? Why must you be the laborer packing sh!t in the poultry? he actually thinks he is self employed at an SME level with small scale farming . Have you ever asked yourself what your credit options are in a corrupt Jonathan's Govt? One bad Govt policy, you will not remember where you started from. damn!! so many nitwits in this space.

Jonathan shared SMS fertilizer you are dancing, meanwhile behind your back yard in Ghana here, they have Agro Cargo export zone, with full storage capacity in most of their international airports, wont you like to be employed as an inspector for export agric products?
Damn! the average Nigerian on the street is not better than toad in reasoning.

chinose:
It very unfortunate that we play politics with every topic, NNPC has employed graduates under GEJ,employment in the Banks which we tot was a good omen , sanusi came and showed that the boom in the banks under OBJ was fraud, now the local content bill wic has empowered local contractors wic should inturn create more jobs is not because of our black nature.GEJ is setting up processes that we will reap in the long run.channel just aired live SURE-P score card yet those that are afraid to write aptitude test by runing away from any structured employment exercise are talking any how.

barcanista:
You noticed that I've not said anything on job creation? This is because we need to get our fact right and not say my neighbour was employed by NTA under Obj, hence he is better than Jonathan. Let me restate that Jonathan often times goofed in his handling of the economy especially the free role given to NOI, that doesn't make his predecessor Obj better. Nigeria as at today is moving towards capitalist economy, this means the civil service will continue to experience a downturn in employment while the private sector will employ more but admittedly the process is slow due to corruption in the system. With the exit of some rogues and the availability of FOI we shall continue to push for the War against corruption and will continue to disgrace corrupt officials, while we appreciate the government drives in his expansion project of the economy. The Agric, transport and manufacturing sectors that are expanding is capable of creating lots of jobs that will make our country progress and not civil service redundant jobs. Should the government up its power reform effort and pursue the provision of relevant infrastriucture as well as close up in fighting corruption, the sky will be our starting point. Thankfully, we are witnessing signs of seriousness, all we need is continuous support of the Government and criticism where possible.

With respect to Obasanjo, he KILLED the banking sector and almost destroyed our financial market, Sanusi Lamido had to clean up the system from scratch. That is why their jobs weren't sustainable. I am watching the new CBN boss and the Trade and Investment Minister closely.

Of course submission we can't measure will be lovely for you. Ordinary people are talking about results they can see and measure, you are talking about CAC

Obiagelli:


All i see here is processes, processes and more processes rather than results.

No one is discussing civil service jobs here and obj's government wasn't even about the civil service.

Obj created a boom in the telecoms, banking, mining and insurance sectors, like this thread has done perfectly, more than 60% people in those sectors got their jobs under obj.
You can do a quick research on unemployment figures under obj and gej by the NBS and see for yourself.

Obj created jobs by building sectors of the economy. This is what gej should have consolidated on, he should have focused on the mining sector that was picking up, they should have significantly transformed the power sector to provide jobs like what happened with telecoms.

There are many ways ways to get our economy booming (that ordinary people feel and benefits from) but this government is far too clueless or just lazy about it. Rather they prefer to dash people peanuts with sure p.

Youwin?
Fantastic idea but little impacts, we should have at least 200, 000 beneficiaries every quarter.

jmaine:


Ordinary people are talking of results using a myopic yardstick to judge. The earlier people understand that entrepreneurship is the way to exit the bondage of unemployment the better for them.

Nigerians are going the SME route in droves which is a welcome development. Such low scale wealth creating opportunities if sustained will go a long way in destroying our certificate culture of always seeking for white collar jobs when we can be an agent of curbing the menace of unemployment and poverty.

Dey there dey carry CV about . . . . .

Obiagelli:


Like there were no entrepreneurs before, where are all the taxi companies springing up before? Where's metrotaxi, redcab, citytaxi, and the like. That just another sector almost dead.

Kingspin:
Which past leader has perform more better then Jonathan. Jona all the way joor.

barcanista:
You see why I don't like arguing this subject? Many of you people like a quick fix rather than real solution. I want to assume that you don't know what was going on in our financial sector and stock market as exposed by Sanusi. You don't just destroy institutions to create phantom growth, you consider the process to get real solution. If Obasanjo had done so, Yaradua would have consolidated on it and today we should be talking about expansion. How can you say you are creating Jobs without expansion of the economy? How can you create jobs without provision of relevant infrastructure? How Can you create jobs without provision of power? How can you create jobs without the Manufacturing and Agricultural sectors? How can you create sustainable jobs without stabilising the financial sector? The problem we have in this country is that we don't look beyond the surface. Jonathan ideally should have done enough but again his reforms need to be pursued. As for the Telecom sector how many of them were sustainable? Will you blame Jonathan for the failure of Government before him to provide relevant infrastructuress for all these sectors to be sustained? Let us work with facts and not sentiments
