rman: The problem with Nigerians is we think having certificates should guarantee at least a level of success in life. This is only true if you open your mind to the opportunities around you and you can add value or create something of value. Unfortunately, all the young lads that made new money in the last 25yrs are not graduates. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg etc are not graduates, they created something of value and the rest became history. But we have been so programmed to throw certificates at everything. Another issue is some graduates can not really add value because what they studied is not really what the immediate society needs, so they become disappointed after school,when the easy life expected by acquiring a certificate becomes a mirage.

What I can infer from this association is young unemployed graduates that feels society owes them jobs because they are graduates,unfortunately, it does not work that way.

Come together to share ideas, poll resources together with your counterparts in similar fields that you come across by being a member, but if it is to gather CV's with the hope of securing jobs, I'm sorry it is a bad idea. The agric graduate example the OP gave is a good example. Has this young graduate considered relocating to a LG in OYO and start small there? He/she can now bring the produce to Lagos, create better packaging and use his connections to create a niche of customers.

The truth of the matter is entry level jobs are no longer available or they are very few to come by. But, there is still so much to be done that graduates should not complain of lack of something to do. Yes, we can not all be entrepreneurs, but look critically around there is something to be done or improved upon.

As a young unemployed graduate a few years back, I was making up to 80,000 a month by being a basketball instructor to kids in private schools. A friend and I approached these schools in Ikeja and we gave the school principals our proposal. I played basketball in school and I know most of the game masters understand the fundamentals of only soccer and maybe volleyball. We were not employed but allowed to come in four times in a week and teach the kids. We had 40kids per class and four classes and we charged 3000 Naira per kid.
The beauty of it all, each class is just for an hour 2pm to 3pm. So I have time to search for work and still be a part time instructor. I know a law graduate that makes at least 150k a month doing makeup on weekends . I recently told her to build on that instead of bombarding people with she needs a job.
I will wrap it up by saying if truly you have something of value to add to an organisation, it is just a matter of time, that job will find you.

If u undastood what this guy is implying like i did...Pls more likes for his wonderful post.

Korad26: What some students studied in uniersity is useless e.g somene 1 dat sudied zoology, where wld such person work?

whats the definition of zoology?
I guess you dont know and someone who read this post might think you actually know something about it for you to give such careless adress.

FYI, that course is very rare and in high demand for someone who actually studied, understood and made it a part of him/her.
You can never appreciate the very essence of nature without going through that course and related ones to it.
Quote me anywhere.


Now, just so you know, its pronounciation isnt actually what it means per say, its much more.

Be wise, my friend.

I must confess i love your writeup however you should understand not everyone can be an entrepreneur and the fact that you're an entrepreneur doesn't mean you can't support this move. As a person right from my undergraduate days i've said i'm never gonna write application to anyone but rather be an entrepreneur yet i'm still in support of this cause. And one thing my brother if you'll want to be sincere an average entrepreneur didn't make such decision as mine of being an entrepreneur but were compelled to that because of no job.
Let us face the fact government has failed drastically. Even in developed countries there is benefit for unemployed, simply because they value their youths.
Talk is cheap you call for being entrepreneurship. Do you have statistic of small and medium scale businesses folding up everyday because there is no enabling environment. Why're even the big and established companies running to Ghana all because energy which an average business needs to survive is total failure here. Pls let face the truth and tell the government they are not performing

Lol
Make dem no go arrest all of una.....

Its a good idea bt hmm, Nigerians. If they make too much noise FG will giv d pres a good job and he will betray d rest. D only revolution 9ja is capable of is a ballot revolution. Cos if army shoot one person for leg,evry body go run enter house.

how i wish to be there but unfortunately i will not be able to attend.

Has it been registered where is d meeting point in abj

ehixking: It all started like a joke on nairaland when a post went viral about graduates coming together to form an association or movement to stop unemployment. Most people saw the idea as a very welcomed initiative that will go a long way in influencing governments policies to create a place for unemployed graduates in the National budget.

Graduates have been sidelined for years in Nigeria,jobs are not forthcoming and graduates find refuge in obtaining masters forms while some depend on their parents for daily bread and recharge card. Nigerian graduates play PS2 better than their counter parts in other countries yet some people speak about been entrepreneurs- but where can we find the enabling environment. Take for example a graduate of Agriculture that lived in Lagos all his life wants to start a poultry farm. Most definitely land would be in his feasibility study in which the land use act of 1978 is the first disadvantage, he needs funds-where would he get it, roads to transport from lagos to other point of sale are bad, electricity to power the farm ..nothing to write home about, funds in case of disease outbreak like gomboro or Newcastle disease " nba"

So how can he manage? Should a graduate start small buy rearing 5 chicken, 2goats, 1 sheep....in whose compound? Has he himself even eaten today(chance for Baba landlord to throw your things away)

In the light of these interested graduates has been mobilised from various parts of the Nation to hold the first general meeting in lagos

Venue.---Unilags sport centre
Time.--9 AM prompt
Date...saturday 7th of september

To discuss the way forward to scrap the menace of unemployment
This is an open invitation to the general public and anybody that would like to support morally or any other way you can

Make dem no go arrest all of una.....

Yes oo...
Not after what happened about 4years ago..


Some frustrated students might even join the league...and the whole thing may go out of hand.

Morever, some students of that institution were recently attacked in Asaba (during a peaceful protest about the on-going ASUU strike).. They all woke up in different hospitals with injuries all over..

and I'm very sure the security men on campus are seriously watching and monitoring all activities..

I think majorly the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENT SHOULD BE CARRIED ALONG

tony-kel:
Thank you Ehis. This is an opportunity all Concerned citizens like me have been waiting for. We must not limit it to the unemployed graduates alone. We must carry all along, people like artisans, technicians, Primary and secondary school leavers who have proven themselves in a particular field and who can contribute their quoter to national development for being engaged in any field of specialisation and who are of age say 18 and above must be carried along so as to give the association a broader and weightier image. Also,a suitable name should be carefully chosen as an umbrella covering the concerned constituent groups.

9ice idea may u walk and never stumble,

Nice move. But keep politicians from all parties far away from this. They never mean well no matter the party.

Corruption will still creep into that association,associations in nigeria only look at the monetary aspect instead of finding solution to problems they start asking fr so so funds for this and that.
