The rush for greener pasture has becloud the vision of Nigeria Graduates to the extent that most believe nothing good can happen owing to the deplorable state of the country's economy.

As a result of negative economic situation, some have travelled to the overseas in search for good jobs but it's unfortunate that they eventually secure shameful occupation which they can't even wish for their enemy to do.

Therefore, 8 Annoying Jobs Nigeria Graduates Do In Order To Survive At Overseas Countries

1. Cleaner

It's so demoralising to see a PHD holder cleaning toilets, streets, floor of hotels, bars and offices. No matter how terrible Nigeria economy is, a graduate of such calibre cannot even think for once in picking such jobs in this county except if his/her village witches are at work.

2. Security guard

I have heard cases of professors in Nigeria University been employed as security guard in overseas countries because his quality of education and expertise cannot even match the skills an employer is looking for. What could be so agonising to see your celebrated professor as puppet in another country?

3. Washing dead bodies

It's rather an insult upon injury to see a Graduate of this country washing dead body in another man's land to make end meets. The most annoying thing they claim to be working as forensic officer but what happens when they contact a deadly disease during the occupation, of course prophet T.B joshua will be at their rescue.

4. Prostitution

I don't know why some ladies who are graduates has completely lost self esteem and integrity hereby resorting to prostitution career when they travel to overseas. This is a common act in countries like Italy and Brazil where they have sex with all sort of men, dog, horse and monkey in order to make money. I am sure that people must have heard the story of a female Nigeria celebrity who did this act. I pity the guy that will marry her.

5. House maid

I believe that the highest qualification to select a house maid suppose to be someone with O level certificate but the case is different in overseas countries where some Nigeria graduate make mockery of their selves to work as house help.

6. Refuse and Sewage packer

Honestly speaking I pity the life of refuse and sewage workers because they are marred with poor health condition which is as a result of the bad stench oozing from the waste. Let's be frank here, can a white man work as sewage worker in Nigeria? Abi no be the same brain God give us?

7. Drug smuggler

Smuggling cocaine, hemp, marijuana and other hard drugs is not a legitimate occupation and it can never be. Greed and desperation to become wealthy fast has ruin the destiny of so many Nigeria Graduates whereby some have rot in jail while others has received death penalty.

8. Undertaker

There is dignity in when a graduate of this country patiently build his/her career at expense of picking a job that will never add value to his resume. Imagine a graduate working as undertaker (lifting corpse in coffin) at overseas countries because of the money attached. Is that life?

Aside the Drug Pushing and Prostitution, i see nothing bad.

The other Jobs are totally Legit, and as long as it is an Honest Job and pays the Bills, i see nothing wrong with it. To the OP, have you lived outside Nigeria?i am assuming no, and that is why you came out with this list.

Life Outside Nigeria is not the Bed Of Roses, people portray it to be. If you have lived outside Nigeria, and you are being picky with work, especially if you are "SQUATTING" somewhere, then in a short time you will find yourself homeless and foodless.

You work because you have bills to pay. More over, some of the Jobs on your list are actually high paying Jobs, like the Mortician and the Security Job, especially if you are employed by a High Profile Company.

Your mentality is exactly why there are plenty of unemployed graduates in Nigeria, as they are always picky and choosy with what they want, while squatting somewhere eating free food, and coming to the pages of Nairaland to complain how their hosts/Brother/Sister/In law and friend is treating them because they are Jobless.

Bros, I quite agree with you but doing such job for a long time is not something I will recommend for because some of our graduates possess complacent attitude hence the drive to clinch career development dwindles.

Aside the drug trade every other jobs listed there pays more than the average white collar jobs in Nigeria, including the much admired banking job. Though not the finest of jobs but if it pays the bills why not?

And about Nigerians working in mortuaries I think that's untrue and an unfounded notion. Nigerians don't work in the mortuary abroad as being bandied about. As a matter of fact I don't know of any Nigerian or ever heard of one who works in a mortuary. Even if do they then it's on a proportionate scale as other foreign nationals including the natives.

It's not like we're doing anything stellar to survive in Nigeria either.

Same country where graduates are forced to settle for stipends as salaries and where skilled professionals are forced to work outside the course of their study only to have ends meet.

That's more annoying.

So the news about Nigerians working in mortuary is false? Does that mean people spreading this information are lying?

Anyway what about the other listed points brother?

I'm not entirely dismissing the claim that they do work in a mortuary. I'm only saying it's not as common as being paraded about. It's on the lower range and personally don't know of anyone who works in a morgue.

If it's that common at least I'd know at least one person who works there, just like I know many who do the other jobs you highlighted. And all your other listed points are accurate and on point.

But there's a reason why people who do those menial jobs do it. First is that they are uneducated and have no technical skill. And the last and most important is that they are living illegally and don't have the required legal paperwork to aim for better jobs.

To me, there is nothing wrong with what they are doing in except for drugs in as much they do that to survive.

Even in Nigeria, we have UNI graduate doing kabu kabu.


OP, the cleaner there is richer than bank manager here if the person can invest the dollars here in Nigeria

This life e no easy
So much hustling and bustling
Everyone is struggling
So make you no dey believe say
Since everyone is chasing
You never gonna make it...lai lai
Never say No uh
Never give up
Keep your head up
Standing tall
And for sure uh
You go turn it up becos hustle most pay
I don’t care who you are
Where you from or what you do
Just as long as you chasing money
Do what’s right, never give up on it
Bring it on
Nothing comes easy, and behind every success
are hours of plain hard work. Sounds intimidating.
Let the hustle be pure n right.
