coolestchris2: the sadly dire quality of most Nigerian youths is aptly captured in the above post. I read the OP's post with great interest. That interest quickly gave way to despair reading the incoherent, unserious and frankly poor quality responses that followed. If this thread is a microcosm of the level of intellect that our youth possess, then its no surprise that Nigeria is set for a few more decades in economic obscurity. Its a shame that such an interesting post is followed by nonchalant attitudes. 2 Likes |

The OP is so on point. Imagine some in their CV they wrote the university attended and didn't write their course of study or someone that wrote his CV in writing and snapped and sent it to a company recruiting. We really need to check all this things. |

"Seriousness" is not in their dictionary.....anyway I expect noting less from "copy pasters", they miss lectures then copy paste fellow course mates note books and just buy handouts (as if they'll read it)..during exams they per up with effiko's just to copy paste,even while seeking for job, common application letter they copy paste, cv nkoor ? they copy paste. The system is a reflection of our youths |

This is just one if the reasons. @ Op Your Article should have read "One of the reasons (Nigerian Youths are Jobless). Agreed, we do not have the required skills organisations like yours could place demand on. l agree our Facebook profile is a total embarrassment. But that's not the whole truth. Haven't you employed someone worst than what you just described on the recommendation of one OGA AT THE TOP (Connections things based on "Man know Man" or Sex for Job with our future wives?). Most young men are finding it really very difficult to get jobs these days. And the young men and ladies without decent jobs these days are not ONLY unnecessarily those without skills but also those WITHOUT connections. You just must know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody...who knows you. We know why we are Jobless, its because we are Corky and Proud to try other things other than white collar jobs. My friend who started photography after failing to secure a job because of his background now earns over N500k per week from covering events for big guys like you. Another one who started tilling job is now a specialist in floor tilling and gets good contracts across Nigeria. Another one at Mushin went into paint making and distribution. Ask of Him at Mushin just behind GTB, he just built a 4 storey building for his business. One even quit his Job at FCMB and is now a famous photographer please check him on Google, akara_photography. In Summary, most (NOT ALL) Nigerian Youths are Jobless because of: 1. Lack of Skills (Like you wrote) 2. Lack of People Skills (Lack of connection) 3. Incident of Birth (Men are in trouble) 4. Pride (Forget this white collar jobs and do something) until hopefully it comes, and when it comes you would find it is not worth it Apologies in advance to anyone who finds my comment offensive. jtjohn: 3 Likes |

OP... I will totally agree with you. Just of recent, my company needed the service of an electrical engineer to oversee and maintain our power house and carry out all necessary electrical and maintenance work.... I personally sent the job advert and CVs were trooping in... We made our selection and the shortlisted were called for interview. I happened by chance to interview them and there is this graduate of elect elect... He was a flood... He bleeped up big time. I personally had interest in him and he let me down.... Na certificate and English he dey carry about, no practical knowledge....when I finally handed them over to a top supervisor for assessment... The supervisor reported back to me that the guy has nothing to offer us cos he didn't know anything.... He called a 500kva diesel gen 800kva (smh), it was the second interviewee who attended a technical school that got the job... And mind you, the second guy English is not well polished like the other guy..... So Nigeria youth should develop themselves and stop deceiving themselves. There are jobs opportunities out there, but for the most qualified ones. 2 Likes |

I can totally relate with this. My first interview, I was asked basic questions relating to my field, and I failed woefully. Our educational system is like GIGO. It is a system lacking practicals but just theory. .a system of not TOTAL EDUCATION but PASSING. That is why a 400lvl student can not remember a 100level coursework. we need to overhaul our system. 3 Likes |

jtjohn: Very good advise, but it's not totally the fault of the youths, but a problem with the system of education itself. It's garbage in garbage out!!. The whole institution called "education" in Africa is a scam by the colonialists, and it was deliberately meant to create what we have today. That's the only way we will continue to look up to World Bank, IMF, and white expatriates to solve our core problems. If we continue in this model of education, I can comfortably predict to you that our universities would become nursery schools in the next 80-100 years, because the standard would continue to fall. When we were in secondary school they said secondary school students could not write letters. Now, they say university graduates can't write a letter!!!. But, there was a time in this country that a primary school pupil could do that. Education is still slavery, because we didn't create it. It was given us by our captors when we were slaves, and until we understand that, discard the system of education we inherited from Britain, create our own system of knowledge acquisition, we will continue in this state. 2 Likes |

[quote author=telim post=53252902]Alot of Nigerian youths have nothing to offer in the real sense, there future as being bleeped off by the society, the useless federal, state and private universities in Nigeria. The university System in Nigeria is a scam, a total waste of time and resources. Our universities are non to celebrate incompetence, unemployment and poverty due to zero skill, increase cramming power, graduants with good grades that are of no use to themselves and the country. There are plenty of jobs in Nigeria but we only have few Nigerians competent enough to handle the available jobs, this is why the country depends on the so called Indian and Lebanese expatriate.(quote) True talk..I worked at an automobile company as an automotive trainer to be precise with expertise in Mechatronics systems both in theory n practical engagements.when i left last year n advert was placed online for a replacement. The company could not get someone competent to fill in d vacant. While l have been rejecting some offers n interview invitations. |

If you are heaping all the blames on student, what then would you tell a lecturers who will not go to class until he is told on a friday that exam comes up on monday and he tiptoes and says let me go and teach them. They are contributing to the students failures becos they can't give effectivtely what they don't have. This story happened in my presence and not hearsay. This happened at a number one state university in ogun state, mass comm department. |

Thanks for that written work but I stand to disagree with you. You don't have any rationale to question the employability of Nigerian graduates because its what they where given they are given out, rather question the system that produced them and government policies. That you are lucky to have gotten a job doesn't make you better. Analysis: There is no job in Nigeria that's why employers of labour say all kinds of trash about our youths all because they advertise for 5 positions to end up getting a million applications. When this Nigerian youths travels out of the shores of the country, they get jobs and are doing very well and these are same people that may have stayed up to 3 years in Nigeria without a job. From survey, you will know the standard of your organization in countries like US, Germany, UK, Canada etc to advertise for 5 positions and get up to a hundred applications. Finally bros, sexual life remain personal and has little or no role to play in determining how much command someone has in in certain areas and doesn't affect the output. In a but shell, employ a Nigerian graduate, train him and he will deliver. Train him because he got no such training in school. For you that thinks you are employed, I bet you you are under employed which is because of Nigerian factor. Thanks. 8 Likes |

At the level we are in Nigeria now, with overpopulation and more, what Nigeria need now is not how Nigerian youths can get job or what Nigerian graduates should do to secure job fast, but we should be talking about how Nigerian youths can create viable startups powered by internet that will create jobs, not just fish farming, snail farming, palm kernel, etc. It is high time Nigerian youths start our own industrial and business startup revolution to create plenty jobs for those coming behind us. It is high time Nigerian youths start thinking of creating solutions to global problems using the internet as an avenue, and this is what will liberate Nigeria from youth unemployment. We have plenty startup ideas yet to be explored in Nigeria and globally....seun osewa (seun) you ought to pioneer this revolution using your great platform and write your name in the sands of history. America is great today with lots of jobs is as a result of startups. I can work with you seun and we work out plans on some great startup ideas that will engage the Nigerian youths and also help ginger our youths and give them a place to start this internet startup revolution! Yes we can do it! How to secure a job isn't our problem in Nigeria because there are very few jobs to secure so employers create so much unnecessary rules making it difficult for graduates to secure jobs. Who said you can't train your employee to your desired skill We need to find a way to create more jobs in Nigeria so there will be enough job for everyone and the rules of employment won't become as difficult as it is now for our young graduates. 2 Likes |
