OP:

The main issue is the neglect of technical education in Nigeria.....and the way and manner people look down on them in this country.

Everyone wants to be a university grad. As a result...we have too many university grads for too few white collar jobs. And you have to skill up to even have a chance of getting a job.

Meanwhile...we don't have enough technical people.

I like your post...but who do we blame ..The society or parents..The truth is that so many Nigerian youth have been brain washed...They thought having degree is going to bring them money because of the campaign from parents..Nigerian government also neglected and never embrace technical schools...Have you ever thought of it,why the Japanese,Germans and so many western countries economies are doing good...simply because they value technical education than white collar jobs..

Someone who studied Industrial chemistry or micro biology in Nigeria or even psychology tell me what do u wanna do with it in that kinda society ...?

Education is key.Stop complaining, boss up and face reality. When life get tough, get tougher. Everyone starts from somewhere , it was not suppose to be easy.

Hi, I am just a graduate in Nigeria. I will come back to what my name is; but right now, I type with so much anger. I guess you must have read;

http://topwritersden.com/open-letter-of-a-working-graduate-to-his-jobless-past/

I thought to be a graduate was great and the best thing that could happen to anyone, but was I right? I look back and wonder what the average life of a graduate in Nigeria is all about.

I guess we all heard “Go to school, graduate, get a good job and live the life of your dreams.” My mom always reminded me of that every morning just before I headed to the school bus that took me to my primary school back then.

I always thought that going to school was the best thing that happened to me as a kid, but I guess it wasn’t all about going to school. All my days in school, I always read hard just because I wanted to create a bright future for myself. I topped the class in brilliantly and felt that all those who performed poorly were all gonna be failures in life.

I passed my entire primary school exam and found myself entering the secondary school in style. I faced a battle of never failing in secondary school, or else I would fail out of the most prestigious school in the city. I struggled and passed all my papers, after which my only hurdle was the WAEC exam and the JAMB exam. I told myself that the good life that mom promised me if I could pass my WAEC and enter the university was getting closer, and all I needed was the focus. I motivated myself and I cleared the exam.

I kept awake all night preparing for my jamb exam, and I never allowed the midnight candle die down. I finally made it to the university; let us say a private university. I couldn’t make it to the federal or state universities, so I had to settle for something bigger.

“If you don’t graduate you will become a failure in life” was the anthem always played by our lecturers in school. I never allowed my GPA to go less than a Second Class Upper. Not because I wanted to be the best, but I just wanted to get that dream job the moment I set my feet outside the school campus.

I finally graduated, went for the National Youth Service, under the rain, and in the sun, with dedication and selflessness, I served Nigeria.

Just when I was done with my national youth service, I had neglected every call to add a skill to my life. I picked up my expensive suit, shoe, tie and a Gucci bag to compliment my dressing. Just as I was about to set out, I was reminded by someone that there are over 2 million graduates searching for the same job I wanted to set out to search for.

With my mouth agape and my eyes widely open, all I could ask was “Are they also graduates like me?”

Sorry I forgot to introduce myself; “I am just a second class upper Engineering average graduate in Nigeria”

I am so sorry that my title is long; it is only replacing the long salary I anticipated as an Engineering Graduate in Nigeria. I will be right back to right more, but I need to search the internet for new job vacancies.

THIS HARDSHIP NO BE JOKE O!
See a recent application letter from a friend..
No.3 ekpetu street
P.o.Box 172,
Ijola,Lagos,
Nigeria.
9th may,2017.
Dear Sir,
APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT
I refer to the recent death of the accountant at your office and hereby apply for the job as a replacement of the dead accountant.
Each time I apply for employment, I get a reply that there is no vacancy but in this case, I have caught you red handed and you have no excuse because while I was in my hometown for holidays I heard the good news about his death so i quickly rushed back to attend the funeral to be sure that he was truly dead before applying.
Attached to my letter is a copy of my CV and his obituary sticker,his obituary T shirt,his death certificate,his obituary poster and the picture of his coffin as proof of vacancy.
You can't lie to me this time. GIVE ME THE JOB.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
Chukwuebuka Ayo Umar

Abeg you too,stop your informal gloating of being more enlightened or should i say educated. understand the writer's point before correcting all his mispelt words,he could be using the auto correction features which are relatively common.

Being a graduate isn't a guarantee for wealth,especially in a country such as Nigeria. I'm sure that's his point exactly. Many of us are guilty of such notion,that you'll be wealthy when you become a graduate,thereby neglecting other opportunities whenever they may arise. You can't learn from others,when you always find fault in whatever they stipulate. Always look at the positive side of a story,most of us aren't dumb not to see the few errors,but the wise one tries to understand the full picture before making insinuations.

em pishure of you giving one before or idonbliv you

First we need to change our orientation in this country
Secondly, our problem in this country is selfishness.
Orientation about many things ranging from
1) discovering what you hav passion for
2) university is not for everybody(mainly for researchers)
3) government cannot provide everything
4) everything is not all about money
5) invest and give the investment time to mature bfre expecting great fortune
6) support partnership, sole proprietorship kills business after the death of the owner.
7) Add urs cuz they are enormous.
Selfishness cuz many people will advice you to learn something and they still want to get free services from you.
goto graphics section and you will c lots of pple looking for free services for their business. imagine looking for free service from someone's business to promote ur business that you want to get profit from.
in fact that's wickedness.

Come to think abt it, Hw fa d Mouth Gig na

Who thief you bread

My dear I am not finding faults with you, only making you come to terms with reality

You better learn from people who have better things to say and stop confusing yourself

The poster above for instance is making a sense!

What are you even saying?? I never said you are making faults what what i'm saying,rather i'm staying stop correcting the poster with the notion that you know better than him. We all saw few errors made by the poster,but we chose to be silent. I supported the poster's ideology,that being a graduate doesn't mean you'll be wealthy,not bashing him the way you did.

Remix10:
why are engineering guys usually jobless? or most of them in banks?

They were engineered to be employees rather than employers..

Hmm

alaricsaltzman:
Learn a skill, develop yourself and employers will be looking for you!!

Like seriously

alaricsaltzman:

They'll employ you alright,but be ready to recieve peanuts without a proper qualification

Shame on you

You are a graduate of Engineering and you are still complaining of inadequate power supply in the country

Sorry OP

I wasn't talking to you

I am actually talking to myself

You see, I too, I am a Nigerian graduate of Engineering

Electrical Engineering to be precise

Nigeria can be better. We are rich enough to be better...But the cowardice of you youths is just too much. Too foolish and too docile.

Why can't you fools organise a massive protest and demand for a good life..No, cowards.

One nairaland created a unique topic "9ja has killed me or something like that"...a perfect opportunity for youths to join hands and take over their country...what did you fools do, you started begging like beggars.

Tuface attempted the same thing, but what happened, the spirit of cowardice raised its ugly head again.

Unemployment is skyrocketing, there is hunger everywhere..frustrations everywhere...95% of Ngraduates are either unemployed or underemployed...and you active youths are there behaving like goats and gambling away your futures. Pigs!

You know you can actually give your advise neatly, without name calling or insults?

The problem is that Nigerians especially the youth can't/don't think, Everybody is busy going to school because they want to graduate and FIND A JOB and that's mental slavery on its own..we have more bankers than banks,more teachers than school and so on

Find something you're passionate about then get educated about that thing....that's all you need to survive,we need to start producing leaders( creative thinkers) and not followers( job seekers carrying cv from one office to another)

Shikena!

Nice comment, permitted to copy?

God has been good to me. I never stayed at home for up to two months before I landed my first job after NYSC. Though I started small with a small private school. Today, I am with a big boarding school. I made a CGPA of 3.42 in my first degree.

If you don't insult Nigerians..they won't move..

Experience taught me that..

Who told u that a person cannot get an education, a passion or skill at the same time.

U guys should stop blaming education for ur lack of foresight to see that the world has evolved.

Having an education, a technical and needed skill (not just any kind of skill) in ur choosen field is the best thing that can happen to any engineering grad.
