Some people say you should not mention your name since it is written in your CV.
A kind of confused which one do we follow?

You don't understand that University training Student to becomes entrepreneurs isn't what will keep people out of job hunting.

The first and foremost thing for entrepreneurship to happen is when an entrepreneur find himself/herself in an enabling environments.

If not, you will get frustrated with time.

Government should provide basic amenities that would facilitate the entrepreneurship mindset.
if out of 100graduates 70-80 percent creates jobs whilst the 30percent get the job isn't that a fair deal and won't that lighten the government burdens?

See the thing with unemployment is that it is a collaborative and joint effort IT's not only for government and so if those who are entrepreneurially inclined produce the jobs,those who are more career inclined can do the work and everyone wins, government and the people,isn't that reasonable?

Working Under someone is my weakness, I have phobia for rules and dress code.


I think I'll ever work under someone ever again...

Yeah, it is really scary, isn't it. How do you plan to survive without that though? Will you start your own business?

I remember when I wrote my dissertation.my contribution to knowledge and recommendations was focused on the academia.i said

*THE ACADEMIA SHOULD TILT ITS CURRICULUM TOWARDS RAISING POTENTIAL GRADUATES TO BE EMPLOYERS OF LABOR INSTEAD OF JOB SEEKERS BECAUSE IF EVERY GRADUATE IS LOOKING FOR A JOB AFTER SCHOOL,WHO ARE THE PEOPLE GOING TO MAKE THE JOB*?

During my defense (to the glory of God) I told my external examiner when he said tell me how your recommendations in your theses is applicable to the Nigerian situation.he said you have 15, minutes to prove yourself and I told him every teacher and lecturer keep saying study hard so you will make a 1st class and get a good job,how about study hard so you will be an employer of labor?

How about study hard so that you can reduce unemployment rate.if you raise 50 students for example to be employers of labor,do you know the multiplying effect that will have on our economy? Look at the Chinese,look at the Lebanese guys look at the Indians that come to Nigeria to do business, some of them aren't even graduates but they're employers of labor because they're skilled,how about raising not just intellects that dont fit into the current reality of the Nigerian situation, instead raise SKILLED INTELLECT

Now look at the consequences of lecturers telling students to earn 1st class or 2.1.we have a lot of them in the labor market, some are fortunate to be employed but there's no job fulfillment and some of them are not maximizing their potentials because the academia only trains Nigerian students to be academic robots not pragmatic thinkers.i have a friend for example sir who finished with a very strong 2.1 in agricultural science he had a CGPA of 4.0 and he is working as a bank cashier.why? Because the academia only told him to get a good grade and job hunting will be easy for him.imagine about a hundred graduates from each university producing Jobs in each of their respective state that is after the nysc and the nysc gives them a start up capital for a push, properly monitored in order not to be misused, think about it sir .


The man (my external examiner) stood up and congratulated me (to Jesus be all the glory)


Cool. But there's nothing like the academia
It is simply academia. Thanks

This pattern is no longer in use, what they do now is presentation, you will be given a case study to analyze.

both individual and group presentation....it is not funny at all.

How not to stress yourself learning the tips above is to start up a business on your own.

If for example you work with Honeywell as a graduate where you're being paid 100k as salary with some stringent terms and conditions, you're far behind a graduate who grind wheat, yam flour, plantain flour and sells to consumers.

Guess what? You can be fired at anytime by the company but no one can fire you as you manage urs.

You're guarantee of making at least 3-5k daily with possibility of increase as the business without fear or pressure from anyone.

It is high time we look beyond growing with a salary job. This is not to discourage intending job applicant. But when you get one, just set up target for yourself to work with the company maximum of 5years and start with little you're able to save.

Note, I used Honeywell as case study because if you work with them you're not different from someone who sells the same product in the market. This is not meant to defame the company.
