cheddarking: Another thing is....

Nigerians also need to stop studying stupid Mickey-mouse courses...

A lot of people go in to study Theology, Philosophy, Fishery, Public Admin, International Relations etc...

These courses are simply not relevant in Nigeria today..

A word to Nigerians: Consider your University Degree as an Investment Opportunity, A sound investment produces sound returns.

isleman: Its a pity but the real question is are they employable? I was a member of a team that interviewed some set of graduates a year ago and a graduate was telling she is from Abeokuta state. She didn't even know she was wrong because she said it over again severally. Out of about 200 applications i went through only 42 could write a sound C.V and i could only recommend 12 satisfactorily. it was an easy interview for me as they failed woefully.

Why must you be contacted? why cant you share is on this forum and help your brothers. Atleast nobody will take your business idea from you. SMH

Anubiri: Dat is y I wana join d illuminate...any connection abeg hala me @07031062129

hasyak: unemployable? i believe that should be the correct word.

Here people are lazy and dont want to think and work hard, always looking for shortcuts.

As a graduate, you should be able to "USE YOUR HEAD AND THINK" and do something no matter how small and grow, most you work?

You can create jobs from your head, Nigeria is still a virgin market for lots of ideas. You can improve on a service thats is already there or create something new!

Jobs should be a stepping stone to your dreams not your dreams, so start THINKING!

Even on Nairaland here, some people make money by selling their services or product. You dont need to have the product yourself, but have a relationship with the owner of the product/service and market it and make some commission. Many will rather spend their time here posting nonsense from one page to the other, if that time is used for promoting your service or product i believe you will make money.

I think trust is the issue

DailyNews:

You are right on point there, and I did pointed that out, but then, there must be someone you can trust amongst your friends and siblings...try and find one out, believe me, partnership is another way out for Nigerian unemployed graduate youths.

slimming: If the allowances been paid to politicians are reduced employment level will increase.

Godogwu: Well it's easy for people to blame the government for not providing enough jobs but frankly crime is not the only thing to turn to. There are so many factors involved in the unemployment of the nigerian youths. First of all, a handful of them are lazy and are not willing to go through any sort of struggle; they believe that since they have graduated a job should be waiting for them.....err it's not that easy. Secondly, some of them want to start of earning huge salaries and their fore turn down any job that doesn't meet their expectation, eventually they'll go back and the position is already taken.... Well I believe the FG and the private sectors need to work hand in hand to create space for employment for the fresh graduates. A high percent of unemployed fresh graduates is a problem in almost every society and country of the world. The level of unemployed new graduates in the US is about 53%,.....this goes to show that whoever wants to get employed needs to go beyond the "normal".

alameenLM: I didn't want to read this thread,i didn't read it actually but I wanna tell anyone thats among the ''60%'' this:create a job and be the boss don't look for it

Do you know what Economics is? The Federal Government controls the economy globally; meaning we can only operate within the circle they created. If they create a small circle, we share the little that is inside. If a bigger circle, we have more to ourselves.

The fact is that our economy has shrunk to an unbearable level. What can an individual do in the economy? Can you farm? No. There are no implements. Even ordinary fertilizer you cannot get. Animal feeds are hardly available. What about Financing your business? Even medium companies find it extremely hard to source credit in this economy because of our government banking policies.

Legally, there are no grounds to do business in Nigeria because there are no laws. If I defraud you in this economy, you can't get back your money unless you are more connected than I am. If I invent anything in this country, no one can protect my invention. All the business in Nigeria is mainly about stealing and copying other people's invention.

Tell me who you can run a business in Nigeria than by stealing.

That is the problem. Our corrupt government is the problem.

Our people are not lazy; it is the systems that encourages laziness.

Inasmuch as you have some point, it is important as well to make sure that the playground is levelled for everyone . . . if the important things are not provided as the basis for what they have to build, what else do they have?
Some might wanna start a business, no bank to loan them, no money, and no light to power any machine, ordinary call center will have to get a generator to power a shop where they make peanut . . . and on their way home, no guarantee they will reach home with the little they have made, and yet we wanna blame the people?

Godogwu:

Yes, the playground isn't leveled for everyone but that's the same thing in every part of the world, some try to level it up a bit but there are still cases here and there. A loan you say?, if you have the collateral then why not....you don't expect to walk into a bank and saw a few words and they drop N100m for you without having an assurance that they can get their money back. In the US you need a good " credit" to do virtually everything, like!..people live on credit here it's crazy. Generator you say?, you make it seem like you don't pay huge electricity bills in the first world countries with 24/7 light. Again, you make it seem like everyone knows how their day would end from the start.... I might just drop dead as I'm typing or on my way back from my intern job, I could have been crushed by a drunk truck driver, please don't make it sound so bad, yes there is unemployment and yes there will always be unemployment, what matters is reducing the percentage of the unemployed.
