Nigerians and Their Graduate Mentality

The title of this write-up might sound absurd, but it remains the fact. I have discovered that most
Nigerian graduates (even the ones that graduated with a 'pass') rates themselves so high and depends so much on white collar job and when you try to introduce them to little business or jobs, they wouldn't hesitate to
remind you that they are
graduates... If you are a graduate and so what?
They don't think of any thing apart from working in a big company with fine office and a company car lol. I think people
should stop this mentality of believing that going to the university is to gain employment because its really not it. Going to
the university should be to broaden your thinking faculty, enhancing your person/personality, equipping your mind set and acquiring leadership and entrepreneur skills.
Who says a graduate can't be a shoe maker, tailor, vendor, small scale business man/woman,
caterer,etc? A graduate can do all these because the purpose for your education is to help you add swag to whatever
you want to do so as to
differentiate your style and that of an illiterate.

A graduate can be selling
"moimoi", yes you read it right "moimoi"... Just add a little swag to it and you will see bankers, doctors,
engineers, politicians, etc rushing to eat your moimoi... Everything in life is all about packaging, how you package yourself, how you package your business, your relationship, relationplane, relationboat, relationkeke, even relationbarrow, u name it cus all hands are not equal!

White collar job is not meant for everybody, so the earlier you get that into your head, the better
and faster you get yourself self employed and start making it for real and big. Your going to the university is
also to make you an employer of labour. There are lot of people that made it without seeing the four walls of the university, so you that's a graduate should do very much better than them.
The truth is, I don't believe that there is no job, the only problem is that people are sometimes too selective because they see themselves as graduate and can't see themselves collecting peanut as salary. But the truth is, that small job can be what will expose you to the big job you dream of.
Instead of sitting at home, why not just manage it. You sit at home and complain of
how the govt has not reduced unemployment and your mates are busy establishing themselves
in one way or the other.
A graduate can be a hair stylist, just add swag to it and you are good to go.
Some will say they want to start up business, but they are looking for millions to start it up as a
'graduate wey dem be naa' lol. But you can actually start up a small business and grow from
there... Most billionaires started small.
You are a graduate and you have been jobless for years, please take that your certificate and
hide in your box, ask the illiterate millionnaire how he made it and start up something. Stop waiting for the govt, the Nigerian govt that I know will
not change unless God sends a Messiah and I know the Messiah
has come and gone since 2000 years ago. It will not take you time to learn tailoring, baking, catering, trade, Machenic,etc... Imagine all the years you have wasted looking
for a job, you would have started counting at least in thousands by now if you decided to get
yourself self made. Even as you are learning that trade or handwork, you can as well be looking for a job.

So my fellow Nigerians, undergraduates, graduates and postgraduates is time to get things done, become financial independent and goodbye to our greedy and selfish politicians.

Summary; Explore other avenues even as a graduate and Never despise the days of little beginnings..

education doesn't only broaden our knowledge but brings us to opportunities

white collar jobs inclusive

Dem know say to graduate from nigerian university no easy. I graduated this year endin may, havin spent 5yrs studying a 4yrs course due to strike and crisis (Jos). But u ve a point, a graduate shld think beyond having a white collar job, more like his plan B if the plan A which is gettin employed doesn't work. But its not easy starting something cos of capital and the nature of the Nigerian environment and market.

Hmmm...

The white man says "catch them young"...we might say education is not jx for u to get white collar job but to make u stand out of the crowed.the other truth remains the system made us believe education is the key to geting on top.

It won't be very easy for some1 to graduate nd go back to learn road side mechanic but some1 who has learnt that frm child hood can always cOpe.Mind u is not cos of pride but adaptation.The system can introduce vocational school and technical schooL to help the youth frm tender age.

Why shouldn't they,graduating from a uni,poly,etc. isn't that easy

True talk

Please tell them o..I saw this article "Why you should not go to university". I was skeptical at first but I totally agreed. Read the short article Here.

Whats bad in dat

hmmm

Prepare to be abused. It's entitlement mentality we suffer from

Meaning ? Next

when GEJ said that unemployment rate has reduced , some was like "ah but I'm still here 'GEJ don lie again ooo! " but the fact is most of those that came out with good result are well EMPLOYED!

Not all graduate in a particular discipline may make it but if God does not build the house, the laborers labour in vein. God help us all.
