Ngasky:i pressume you belong to the fortunate few, probably that could explain why you downplayed the severity of unemployment bedeviling Nigerians. According to NBC,the unemployment rate currently stands at 33.3%, the second highest in the world, i belive,however,that is a conservative estimate as the accurate rate could be far higher. That said, you my friend is out of touch of reality. 1 Like 1 Share |

The truth about unemployment is 1. There's plenty jobs in Nigeria, 96% can't sustain a standard living 2. There are plenty artisan job but people dont like going into that 3. There's limited graduate jobs in nigeria and most graduate wouldn't like doing hand jobs If you need for yourself, you can learn something if you have the patience to endure the apprenticeship period Apprenticeship period might take longer time in order to master the trade Most people don't have that patience and thats why they dont either succed in the competitive economy or even have the extra skill to withstand the challenges of a mew business entry And consequently, they queue up again in the number of unemployed people 2 Likes |

You can say that again, most computer science students in this country can't defend their certificate, that why you see most of the youths copy in exam halls,, Nigeria selling the wrong education to the youths, can you imagine a really educated population now do you think 9ja would be here today? More than half of the country na illiterate and the ones that went to sch close half can't defend their certificate.. Most of the graduates can't even wait for NYSC so that small money would be entering and so that they can post on social media for people to start typing congratulations up and down , illiteracy and poverty 3 Likes |

Re: How Bad Is Unemployment In Nigeria by gabicon: 3:43pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
dblock: interesting question, there are a number of factors that contribute to unemployment. one of the biggest factors is religion influencing population growth, religion has messed a lot of things up, people who don't have the means give birth to children that they can't carter for, some of our religious and cultural beliefs frown against safe sex and contraception, the effect 20 years down the line is unemployment. Nigerians can be very religious, frowning at sex in the open but loving it in the secret. Another factor is the fact that our education system remains static, it never evolves, as of today technology has taken over most of the jobs our educational institutions are educating us on. so if one studies a course that is irrelevant to today's world, its only natural the opportunities will be minimal. We presently run an education system that was built during the industrial revolution to mass-produce people to manage mass-producing businesses, the currency of today's educational system is value innovation and critical thinking. Our lecturers teach us to cram information when we out to be taught how to think critically on how to approach and solve problems. This is the reason why our graduates are unemployable, they tell you what is written in the textbook when what you need is not in a textbook yet to be written by them. Education is key to making an impact in or world today, that bit we all know but what we are educated on is just as important as education itself, many of the courses in our institutions ought to be scraped, as of today we dont have institutions teaching software engineering, data science, user interphase design, 3d printing, artificial intelligence, bionic engineering, ballistics etc. The world does not live in the past the world lives in the future. Another issue is that we lack a concrete plan for most things in Nigeria, we plan per election cycle. we give lofty names to our plans like vision 2000, vision 2020 they all lack aim and objectives. Ideologically we have been programmed to despise small businesses, but all over the world most big businesses were small businesses that grew for over 20 - 50 years, we tend to think that if you don't work with shell and nnpc, and government or big businesses you don't have a job. Many family businesses that ought to have gone mega when passed to the next generation died. Go to China, India, the middle east, American businesses intergenerational some are in the fourth generation. So back to your question, unemployment is very high, the official numbers show that 11 of every 20 people are unemployed, I am 99% certain that that number is greatly understated. We ought to be in a civil war as we speak, thanks to our religious institutions that sell hope to the people we are still here. To exit this terrible situation we will have to retrain our people, that is where going to school comes in, it is easier to train someone who can read and write than one who can't. We need to train our people most especially to see opportunities, many foreigners are smiling to the bank in Nigeria while our people are in anguish. We need detailed national plans on the product and services we want the world to know us for and train our people to be the best in those jobs. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Employment? Do you guys even realize that Nigeria's population was projected to be 97 million people in 1991 and today it's double that figure. There was almost total unemployment in 1991! No vacancy anywhere. What do now expect in 2021 with 210 million people in a land barely bigger than just the state of Texas in USA? Good thing is that rain falls as at when due, most plants survive on our lands, no Tsunami, no tornadoes, no hurricane, no snow, no wildfire bigger than the entire southern Nigeria etc. We are our own problem and we must find our own solution. 1 Like 1 Share |

kokoboy4life: Understand the product/services you are selling Understand your target customers and their issues Analyze your competition. Create your value proposition unique to each customer Engage your customer for feedback. Modify your proposition if necessary Close the deal. Good relationship with customer decision makers and influencers goes a long way in helping to close deals. |

Limassol:What is a job, a job is what one does to earn a living, maybe the type of jobs you are referring are those top bank and oil companies jobs. without skills,you cannot fit into the job market both within and outside the country. The jobs are there but out teeming graduates cannot access them because of their poor training that is not in tandem with modern day realities. The were trained to for servitudes,to work for others, probably in a company,but things has changed. |

mfm04622: Economic policies of this FG are not working. there is high inflation rate, mass retrenchment of workers by companies, high cost of living and high unemployment rate. If the fg has a good economy policies things would have change for good. FG need to stop increasing fuel price, electricity tariff, and many taxes imposed on small scale business owners. FG need to work on the security of the country as no foreign investor will invest in a country with high level of insecurity. FG should stop attacking social media like Twitter because it create employment for literate youth. I can go on and on. 1 Like 1 Share |

Unemployment rate is presently 33%. Before PMB, it hovered around 10% which was even considered high. A good rate starts at 6% or less. It is estimated that 2 in every 5 nigerian workers is either unemployed or underemployed. 2 Likes 1 Share |
