So according to the OP, he is saying all Nigerian graduates are unemployable? Never minding the ones who are gainfully employed?

How about

And here comes some of the so-called graaduates....

This points are absolutely true. No doubt. But while we ascribe the avoidable but pitiable unemployment rate in our nation to these excuses, It is my informed submission that all graduates are employable but the conundrum is identifying where such graduates are needed to fully maximize their latent potential. And based on this premise, it is a problem of lack of sufficient employment opportunities. Even in the best universities in the world, we still have dunce there and some of their graduates are also incompetent but that is not to totally exonerate some of our schools from the blame. Our curriculum needs to be reviewed because sometimes they load our brains with courses that are not related or useful to our course of study.
The university/college only guides an individual to achieve a well defined controlled behaviour called discipline but how far you develop yourself is entirely your own volition depending on how voracious you are for more information and knowledge. Thanks to the Internet.
Our government should create jobs for everyone because I insist that all graduates are employable in some areas across all the sectors of the economy including agriculture. Government should stop hiding under the cloak of unemployability to justify the lack of job creation.
Most importantly, while everyone can't be entrepreneurs, our graduates should consider self employment. Have you ever wondered why there is no employee in the list of the world's richest persons?

I never mentioned that though

tuoyoojo:
ok

we were made to believe that once u get good grades in school that a job would be waiting for u....in so doing the innate entrepreneurial traits is then allowed to die.
this i believe is the reason for the quagmire we are in now

..so hence this over dependence on jobs...

i believe there should be change in school curriculum to include business management which should be to incorporated as part of the courses which is mandatory no matter what course one is reading in school

so that when students graduate, they could stand on their own

I definitely hate idi.otic condescending threads like this. It just shows how wicked & unfeeling some of us become when we become fortunate in life.

How about saying Nigeria graduates are unemployable because of lack of jobs & failure of governance!

I dont think the job application is ridiculous. I want young sharp minds towork for me. I graduated at 21 from UNILAG and at 28 I had 6 years experience outside NYSC.

I believe the OP, especially on the first point.

One of the youth corp members, that just finished their service year, worked in my office. He got a job last two months in an oil company in PH while in service. This is not a case of how connected you are...He was offered because of the skill he exhibited when he was doing is I.T with the company. In fact, they told him to finish his service before resuming...They knew he was serving.

He told me he was asked what skills he had and he told them he could make an architectural design of buildings just like architects do. He told them he learnt it when he was in JS3 and it thrilled them! He was asked to do a design of one of the offices which he did excellently. I equally ceased the opportunity to ask him to make a design of my house (I just finished building it), and he did it so well.

The OP is really right on that. Take a good sampling of the graduates we have today...They have nothing to show aside the certificate they have. Honestly, it's always difficult for people like that to get a job. Majority of the companies will see them as people who lack initiative... people who are so 'monologue'.

Just recently, I was given a slot by a friend who heads the health department at PHCN to bring a qualified nurse, I sent the name and CV of my candidate...the rest is history. She has a good CV but in the interview, she was a disgrace. She lost the opportunity of earning #250k, excluding allowances. I was not bothered by her lose but for the embarrassment it gave me that she was my candidate. Infact, they were wondering if that was her CV or we made it up.

I am not saying that everything the OP posted is correct but many are. We need to stop the victim mentality and begin to live positively. There is no hiding the fact that many who are in school are just there so they too can say, 'I am in school'. Many do not even have a good idea of the course they are studying. They are just there because it is the course the school gave them. Another danger to this is the fact that many go through school but the school does not go through them... ask our 'aristos' and 'play boys'

OP, I can't read this because your TOPIC alone has been nullified.

The only HUMAN that is UNEMPLOYABLE is a SICK Chap and it still depends on the degree of ailment.

In CHINA, HP COMPUTERS manufacture 60,000 LAPTOPS on daily basis.

Most of the EMPLOYEES there were taken based on EFFICIENCY and SMARTNESS and not on academic grounds.

In VERNICO street in ITALY, most FOOTWEARS made there, were done by hardworking VILLAGERS and not graduates.


Such shoes are worn by prime ministers and world leaders.

In OSLO and SHANGHAI, Fishing alone can move a country forward.

As NIGERIANs, We always believe that U Can only make it if u get EDUCATED.

We NEED POWER, good roads and railsystems and INDUSTRIES.

This is why a particular TRIBE in NIGERIA, will keep GROWING from strength to strength despite GOVERNMENT neglect.

I won't mention the name of the TRIBE
