Wait oh, is the job really a sweeper/street cleaner kind of job?

pocohantas:


Why on earth would a 2.1 graduate of the prestigious UNN go for this? I understand that the country is a mess, but she can do better.

Please how old is she, what did she study and where is she based?

kingsfire:

She's 22
Based in Enugu
Studied Science Education
Please she really needs a job

I am willing to pay the salary for one year of any kind English teacher who will volunteer to teach you good English for at least, four months... depending on your learning progress.

Nonsense.

Oyimeoyimemua:
The level of joblessness is rising, qualifications don't even guaranty u will be employed... I advice under graduates to learn a skill while in school.

Luvlyna:
Omo people should be learning trade or professional skills on their own.
We can't continue deceiving ourselves, there are no jobs in this country

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Nothing wrong with being a road cleaner seriously.
Nigerians and entitlement mentality- (name a better duo)..

PS= their work is not tha much.. i think dey do clean the road once or twice in a week.. more of part time job. You can still do other work

SIRTee15:


Oga a graduate isn't trained to be a cleaner...
Be it naija or USA....
It's called underemployment and it's a sign of slow growth and lack of economic opportunity....
Why should someone waste 4 years of his life if he knew the certificate is only worthy to secure a cleaner job....

Now u mentioned dignity in labour....
That's statement doesn't exist in nigeria....
It's only valid when the wage in such labour is enough to take u home and meet your needs....
In developed countries where minimum wage ensures a sufficient basic pay, then u can talk of dignity in labour....

What's dignity in a graduate earning 21,000 a month...
Nonsense....

afroniger:
And what is wrong with being a cleaner? There are barely enough jobs to go around yet some people are looking down on some type of jobs. Smh. Nigerians and their entitlement mentality. Una no mind to go do cleaner work and other so-called 'dirty' jobs abroad in spite of all una university degrees but here in Nigeria una go dey form. There is dignity in honest labour biko. It's better to work as a cleaner and work your way into something bigger and better than be crying about being jobless and hungry.

----
And for the rest of you mentioning me and talking crap, y'all are free to stay/remain broke while complaining about being jobless and still eating your parents' food as unemployed glorified graduates, waiting for that 'befitting' job that will never come while you grow gray hairs in your father's house. Na your choice but don't come here knocking other folks that are more pragmatic about the job market and are ready and not too proud to work to earn a living no matter how small.

Mac2016:

Dude forgot that some jobs are better left than taken else they shut down your thinking faculty apart from other grave hazards attached to being on the road with little or no safety gadgets to avoid accidents.
When I was jobless I quickly started teaching. From one tutorial to the other. IJMB to SSCE/JAMB to Cambridge exam prep class to private tutoring. I did this to free up my time with enough flexibility to look for other means while the former suffices.
Graduate shd think out better alternatives than taking up hazardous road cleaning jobs. Rank nonsense

Mac2016:

I cringed at your mention of "entitlement mentality" in your article quoted above. Is this what you called that?
Well that aside...

You clearly forgot that some jobs are better left than taken else they shut down your thinking faculty apart from other grave hazards attached to being on the road with little or no safety gadgets to avoid accidents.

afroniger:


You are a perfect poster boy for the entitlement mentality I spoke about. Nobody owes you any job with a fat paycheck just because you have a university degree or simply because you are a graduate. Not in Nigeria, not anywhere else. But if you think you deserve a fat paycheck then go ahead and create opportunities for yourself rather than sitting on your ass waiting for savy entrepreneurs to go through the grind of building their successful businesses just so you can stroll in and take a plum position in their company simply because you are a graduate. The world has evolved beyond that my guy so you better wake up and smell the coffee. The Masters degree of today is the Bsc of yesterday because there are way too many degreed graduates than there are jobs to absorb them so quit flattering yourself by looking down on those that are realistic and not too proud enough to get something doing to earn a decent living.

I know graduate females who drive 'hazardous' keke napep today and are taking home no less han 5k per day and meeting their financial needs while other able-bodied glorified graduates are still roaming the streets or sitting at home lamenting and sulking about lack of jobs as if anybody owes them a job. Like seriously.

If you really feel entitled to that great job with a fat pay because you a graduate then be man enough to CREATE that job and pay yourself what you feel you deserve, because nobody owes you a job my friend.

9jaRealist:


NO job retards your so-called "thinking faculty" (unless perhaps it was not there to begin with ).

Many of our parents' generation when they first traveled abroad engaged in all kinds of menial jobs (janitorial, wiping ass in nursing homes, security guards, busing tables, etc.) until they were able to secure the credentials and/or certification for better jobs. EVERY job is a LEARNING experience, and if you are compelled to become a cleaner try to be the BEST darn cleaner there is. Not only will you develop great work habits but you just never know who is out there watching or whose path will cross with yours.

This is like the best job anyone can do.
A 2hours job (4am-6am). 30K monthly salary

You don't necessarily have to build your attitude with denigrating items you called jobs, bro. There are many other dignifying means of achieving your out laid "learning experience". If you think hard you will discover there are other better ways of bettering your life than picturing abroad menial jobs as pleasant jobs to build your character with. Reach for the stars and stop living on a low mind. I detailed my experience with you but you generously skipped it as expected. Kindly rethink your process and you will get better for it.

My dear Nigerian tertiary education is becoming useless day by day. Many regrets wasting their time and money in university for nothing to show up and even considering Igbo apprenticeship/skill learning as better options for livelihood in this era. Too bad for 9ja..

On a fact check. How many job creators do we have? Even in the countries you would like to use as reference. If we all create jobs who will now do the created jobs. And if what you called entitlement mentality is when someone gets qualified, get hired and delivering quality service then you need a rethink. In my opinion you have committed no crime if you render quality service and get paid for it. Stop glorifying a failed system!
