Hey, don't take the job abeg and go and look for a job that fits your status.
If its me, I will rather stay unemployed, keep faith and keep looking for a good job than take that s.hit.

Depending on what you want but i will suggest you take it for now and still be seeing yourself that you havent arrived yet. it will add up to you job experience and you will definitely learn something good you dont know before.

Any man that seats at home every morning does so because he has something to eat. If things were really hard, you won't be asking this question

Not really as you think... its more to that... buh id agree that no man should seat at home, some dont but yet still find life so o difficult... but the issue is like this....there is a ladder that you climb to your desired end, while on the ladder there are challenges and obstacles, but then there is a height u aim to reach but when u look down there are oppurtunities u can engage in, only if u get down. the question now is do u have to get down to do it just to survive or keep going up the ladder till u get to your desired height?

Depends on the class of degree you graduated with. If you graduated with a 3rd class or less,then by all means take the offer. But if you have a 2:2 or above(by your effort),then it's absolutely unreasonable.

My opinion.

It is only a lazy man that will sit at home and keep rejecting job offer. Start from somewhere, everything will soon be a story and a life time experience. My first salary work in 1995 is not worth N20,000 of today, because i can remember very well that my salary then could only afford me 2 jeans and 2 tops then in a month. Now, they are all stories as I have people working under me.

Too small! You didn't spend 4/5years in the university, feeding & accommodating yourself only to be paid 20k. These employers are just taking advantage of ppl, the least a graduate shd earn is 30k.

Even NYSC is 20k
Re: A Graduate Offered A 20k Job... Ridiculous Or Well Just Manage? by Oluwaeasy: 12:57pm On Dec 02, 2016
I think the amount is small with d current situation in Nigeria, am a victim of this circumstances after my NYSC I got this teaching job with salary pay of 20k. I have to be in school before 7:30am and leave 6pm, that is not even the issue. I realise that I can hardly feed myself and everyday I spent N200 as tp. Tel me hw can some save with this kind of job?

My opinion.

Should a higher class degree automatically translate to a higher pay? I don't think so.

lwkmd...You amaze me really.My first job as a lawyer called to the Nigerian bar was with no pay..I was getting 10k as tfare and I wasn't living with anyone neither was anyone footing my bills.I took the job to gain experience but i didn't stop working and praying for a better opportunity..
And oh,by the way I made a 2.1 from university,2.2 from Nigerian law school. So pls eh...wake up!The class of degree u graduate with or what you study is of no consequence. A masters degree holder I know has been jobless for 2 years..He was begging me last week to help him talk to my boss, to employ him as a law office Liberian (25k salary).
The race is not for the swift uncle,good grades guarantee you nothing!

I'm short of words, you take it bro and atleast you will see money to buy recharge card, buy subscription to browse better paid job, barb ur hair, buy one or two clothes to look good. It is still better than to rely or keep begging your parents or relatives for all these. Don't mind those people that said you should not take it; just ask them to help u with 1k to feed they won't. Life is in stages pls.
