Ephemmm:Wrong.. We all do. It just depends on if you want to develop that spirit Or not. Entrepreneurship is for those with determination And risk bearers. Most of us are just too lazy and afraid to develop that spirit and potential. |

You are not alone. I currently run an IT firm with my bro. We both graduated top of our classes. After about two years of futile job hunts with interviews in companies like shell, NLNG, Mantrac etc. we decided to quit the rat race and create jobs for ourselves. Today, we are employers though getting here wasn't a walk in the park. For those screaming oil companies, we can't all work in oil companies. I dropped the 'oil company mentality' after being interviewed twice by NLNG (Trainee Electrical officer position in 2011 and Trainee Operator position in 2013) without a job offer. While chasing the oil companies, I rejected some offers especially from some start-up factories at Agbara looking for Trainee Engineers. It takes more than just good grades, professional competence and experience to land a job in oil companies. You need luck more than anything because you will be competing with the best of the best and those with formidable connections. I'm not giving up anyway because I still have a pending interview with NNPC. Since age is still on your side (I presume), I'll advise you give the oil majors some shots. You might get lucky and if you do, it will avail you the opportunity to raise the much needed capital for your business(at least 60% then you can use your landed property as collateral to secure the remaining 40% as loan). However, I won't advice you to go into small scale manufacturing or production. The risk of failure is very high in that area with power and competition with imported goods as major factors. 4 Likes |

Bravo! I'm also a graduate of PTI, effurun (m10/PEG/HND). Best graduating student in my class as well, I've been in Lagos hustling like an average Nigerian graduate out there. I'm still optimistic though, with my head held high. I started a business last year which I'm still growing from the scratch. It's been tough though but I believe say God go do am. like an average PTI student, I still hope for an opportunity in our oil sector (at least to compensate for all the struggles in PTI - I'm sure you know how it is over there). Abeg no forget to share any job link with me when you see any. marvelemporium@gmail.com God bless your hustle bro. 1 Like |

I read and my heart skipped, Apart from the good write up, OP really inspires.... The FTC too :good response but bent on security. If the OP could raise some capitals, approaches banks and investors, if only he knows how to harness Other People Money or Talents, if only he could deleted the idea of working physical for money from his brain and think deep about these golds lying around in every corners waiting to be picked ...He would be much more greater. Because of our entitlement mentalities(Believing government or a companies should give us Job, pay our pension and give us welfare---Like the world is owing us all) Nigerians these days have closed the doors on creativity: we rather crowded a limited option than opt for unlimited opportunities. All in the name of security and not taking risk. I don't see myself bossed around for any million and if you re thinking not taking Job and focus on raising capital for your empire... You will remain a king in the mist of Man. To those of you who are hell bend on financial securities and high paying jobs rather than FINANCIAL FREEDOM... Just know that no amount a SLAVE earns from his MASTER, a SLAVE IS ALWAYS A SLAVE. Thanks 3 Likes |

Fynpatra: Yeah! I am very sure of that: she should be happy wherever she is now. But to be candid, life without mum is like running a race with handcuffs: one can only come out as the best though the help of God only. God bless the proud mother of my unborn children. |
