Because they failed to engage themselves to something productive while studying, hoping that govt will provide which is irrational in regards the economic situation in the country. I have said this time without number that what every reasonable Nigerian should learn is 'Igbocracy'(no sentiments please) which i defines as 'an economic system in which individuals engage themselves in progressive activities, regardless of the Government support'(which rarely comes).

Its funny how people talk about Agriculture like its easy..

What incentives does the government offer to farmers?!

What loan facilities are open to intending farmers and how acessible is it?!

How do we encourage local farming when produce is being improted from abroad?!

Frozen Chiken is still being imported into Nigeria till tomorrow..

Dangote sells rice in bags daily, same as stallion, yet these companies dont own a single rice farm in Nigeria.. Yet Abakiliki rice is in the market..

One OLODO African lady was brought to America after her African Husband went to marry her in Africa and when she got here later moved out of their rental apartment to be with another man who wears tie to work every morning!

it turns out later that the new guy often complains about money when the old husband did not and she finally asked why this is the case since you wear tie to work and my husband did not, how come u never have money n workd in the office?

the dude asked her what her x husband did and she said he is a construction worker and didt wear tie to work and i could not settle for that...i think you must make more money based on how you dress to work!?!

needless to say the guy was just a front desk clerk at a cable n phone retail giant and makes less than half the salary of the x husband who works as a skilled tradesman!!

o, all naija boys and girls keep lining up for university and then all the graduates should continue to line up for office jobs, k people

Every economy, Great, Small or Clueless will only survive and Grow when people start creating Jobs rather than looking for one....
The US economy is highly supported by self employed, entrepreneurs and small Biz owners....and the best part is that majority of these Biz owners are either drop outs or pure illitrates.. So, ur question should have been, "why do Copers lack creativity and initiative"?
My dear, No economy will ever grow if everyone look for Jobs, economies only grow when People Create Jobs....

True story. We wanted corpers posted to us and went to NYSC to speak to some. We were ready to train them and retain them if they did well. Most of the corpers considered us too small. They were waiting for banks and oil companies. Some of them wasted that year of service just waiting for the right company...now after more than 1 year after service they are considering working with us!

Lessons
1. Corpers, please make up your mind early enough on what you want during and after service
2. Look for potential, and not necessarily after big names that wont retain you
3. Never consider your NYSC year as holiday. It is a time to prove your worth and get something for yourself! In a more competitive world people would rather employ corpers who gained some experience during NYSC and they would like to avoid loafers.

4, Dont wait to get something as good as your friend...fingers are not equal.
5. Remember, some people start big and end small, while some others start small and end big. LOOK AT POTENTIAL!
Re: Why Do Corpers Lack Employment After NYSC? by sexiestharam(f): 5:31pm On Sep 04, 2012
I think the answer to this question is quite simple. There are no enough jobs! NYSC discharges over 70,000 corpers to the labour market every four months. Means in a year, over 210,000 youths enter the labour market. Also, they have people who have been unemployed since previous years competing for the same jobs. Imagine the number. Do we have up to 210,000 jobs for young nigerians? Companies call for test for employment
and over 50,000 people apply for 9 positions. Imagine! I know self-employment is the answer, but what about people who don't even have the money to start a business of their own? Nigeria, I hail thee...

Yello1: It is no longer news that corpers do go from being employed for a period of one year by federal government to being unemployed after.

why?







Simply, there are no job opportunities in Nigeria to absorb all the available workforce (corpers included). Its only Lagos, PH, and little from Abuja that mostly absorb most graduates in Nigeria, whereas other states that even have more higher institutions churning out graduates in mass have no single job opportunity to employ the mass of graduates they produce. So to say, most states in Nigeria with more number of higher institutions have no job opportunities coming from their end. for example, states like; Osun, Enugu, Imo, Oyo, et al, have more number of higher institutions in Nigeria when compared to other states, with few employment opportunity there, tell me, how do we balance the number of graduates they produce with the little opportunities there? So my brother, Nigeria have no even job opportunities to employ 30% of graduates to talk of all! We need all possible job-creation strategies in Nigeria to curb this cos its affecting every other thing in Nigeria from relationships, marriages, dating, crime, security, way of worship, entertainment, etc. Very bad condition. NNPC is recruiting and Honeywell is also recruiting, try them ok? Good luck, God will see you through! Sighs

The truth is that a lot of corps members are lazy, they want to serve in private companies where they will be well-paid but yet,they are not ready to give their best. I find it rather annoying to see youths walk into my office looking for a place to serve and when you give them simple aptitude tests, they fail woefully. Yet they come here to type rubbish and heap all the blame on the government and their "wicked" lecturers. This doesn't mean that some are not good enough, but majority of the "corpers" i had contact with recently were big disappointments. Mind you, i served too and was retained.

My sister, being lucky doesn't mean that you are the best, just give the glory to God for giving you the grace to make it cos there are thousands if not millions better than you during and before your set who couldn't find a place to work or even find a dime to start a personal business. Pls blame the corpers not, blame the Nigerian situation, if we had a good government and balanced economy, what is job? people decide where they want to work, so dear, you were only lucky, not that you are better than others roaming the street, so be kind to job-seekers coming to your office cos it is not by your making but of God that showeth mercy!

People dont let us just talk any how cause our government are the cause, but we people have to be blamed largerly, if you ask me why i will say the following:


1)We are too relaxed
2)We are not ready to challenge our self
3)We wait to be spoon feed by people around us etc.

So my fellow people let not wait for our government nor people before we make stand up to do what is expected of us.
Re: Why Do Corpers Lack Employment After NYSC? by demmie1: 5:55pm On Sep 04, 2012
But seriously Nigerian graduates are trained with the mind-set that a job is waiting for them somewhere after they graduate, so they don't see education as means of developing themselves to take up challenges to be self reliant. the nysc even compounded their problems with raising their false hopes with frivolousness instead of training them to develop entrepreneurial skills (and i'm not talking about beads making)and becoming job creators instead of job seekers.
If these views are not corrected, then employment problems will persist.

Just what i thought! I think you didn't read the part where i said i've met some extraordinary graduates. I agree one needs God to get a good job, however many corps members are lazy. Maybe if people start thinking of ways to develop inner skills, we won't be here blaming our government. This govt has failed the youths, its high time we stopped trusting them cuz our leaders have nothing much to offer. Its totally wrong to accept corps members just because they are roaming the street, thereby, increasing the level of mediocrity in your organization. If someone deserves a placement, why not? But its sad to expect that you will get a good posting just by weeping and carrying a sad face about.
