kudinkarfe:1. Inflation: Nigeria has a history of high inflation. High inflation did not start with this govt. As long as we import dependent country, with attendant demand for more foreign currency than available, we will always have high inflation. Solution: Govt is already encouraging local production using various supports. So what else do you want govt to do to bring down inflation? 2. Increase in fuel price: The fuel subsidy has not been removed, so you can't claim it contributed to high unemployment. Fuel subsidy is being penny wise and pound foolish! Why should we use all our income in subsidizing consumption instead of investment. Imagine using all the money used on fuel subsidy on infrastructure? The most painful part is we are subsidizing consumption of fuel in the whole of West Africa! Not just our country. Yes, if fuel subsidy is removed, it will lead to higher inflation in the short while, if the savings is well invested, Nigeria will be better for it. Same issue with subsidy on electricity. I have not seen a serious country that subsidize electricity! Even Saudi Arabia has removed subsidy on electricity. No solution will be provided for this as this is not yet a problem. 3. Taxes on small scale business: Wow!!! FG has given small scale business with turnover of less than 20M tax holiday! That is any business with turnover of less than 20M In a year is not expected to pay Company Income tax! So what exactly are you complaining about? If there are still taxes, they are leveled by States and LGs. Go and meet them to stop such charges. In addition, how can you expect govt to invest in infrastructure if taxes are not collected? Nigeria has the lowest tax to GDP ratio in the whole world! In the whole world. So Nigerians both as individuals and as companies need to pay more taxes. So this is not a problem, so no solution will be provided. 4. Security: Govt is working on security! We can see equipment bought and we can see BH surrendering. Bandits are being pacified too. The security is still bad, but govt is working on it. BH is not active all over the country. Bandits too are not active all over the country. Serious investors know no investment opportunity is risk free. Solution: Govt need to do more. The level of insecurities is still unacceptable even though we know govt is trying. Twitter ban in Nigeria: which one do you think is more important. Security or employement? What Twitter did in Nigeria can not be accepted in any country in the world. None!!! In fact, I fully support FG's stance on Twitter. Since the ban, I have stopped using Twitter. How can any govt allow any foreign company to interfere in the internal affairs of the country? Even in the US, people are convicted and sent to prison for working with foreign interest without registering with govt as a foreign agent. Many Trump people were affected. Before Twitter, there have been other means of connecting with your market. Facebook is still there, Instagram is still there. What is special with Twitter? So what govt policy is contributing to unemployment? 1 Like |

Limassol:According to NBC 33.3% thats equivalent to atleast 70 million Nigerians are unemployed. Ask yourself those unemployed are they eating sand? Or how did they get food to eat? If they didnt eat how come they are still surviving? By that assessment if we share equally it means 2 million people per state. I challenge you to bring a single picture of 10 really hungry people in your locality. As far as one can eat and have energy that person is not unemployed. Whoever is an artisan, farmer, trader did not qualify as unemployed. What we have is under employment and high ambition by the job seekers. under employment in the sense that the pay is too small compared with same qualifications. and high ambition especially by the graduates. every graduate is expecting hundreds of thousands per month plus 4 beadroom flat + 5 million naira car + driver and retinue of househelps. that is realistically impossible. Let me tell you one secret. if you want to be rich go into Agriculture. either crops or husbandry thats where the real money is. but unfortunately our youths only want white collar jobs. Let me give you example. Muslims use to go for hajj as one of the pillars of religion. did you know that every single person that go to hajj for just 30 days or less must have paid at least 1.5 million naira? From Nigeria only more than 60 thousand people use to go every single year apart from those going for lesser hajj if not for this pandemic. Out of this number 90% are from villages only 10% are from the towns and cities. out of these 10% only about 4% are civil servants. it is very difficult for a civil servant to save and go for hajj as every month the salary will be almost 99% spent so no savings. Those 90% from villages are farmers. they will toil the land or raise their livestock and get their millions one time. Now the funny part is did you know by NBC standard all those villagers are unemployed? You will also see a begger on the street and give him 10 naira. unknown to you that begger is richer than you. he owns fleet of trailers or herds of cattle somewhere in his village. and you will be pitying the stupid man begging. i have no sympathy for beggers. they are not poor just that they consider begging as a source of livelyhood 3 Likes |

Most reason why I would not let my child imitate the same process of education acquisition as my lots has been doing.. The lack of basic technical schools in our states contribute immensely to the lack of innovations year in and out hence, unemployment. And government and our educational parastatals don't want to see this as a case. My child wil ofcourse acquire education but basic, goes to technical school where he/she can be independent post-training and from there, the circle will continue. I think that's how u run a society to be potent. |

To solve unemployment problem in Nigeria we need to revamp our educational sector.. that's the first thing to do...not really creating employment by government |

Lamanii22: Those were PDP days remembered with nostalgia, yes they stole money but jobs were reasonably available especially in outposts like Ibadan (not only jobs available, food and transport was cheap too and most of the country was relatively safe), this can be confirmed by looking at the job threads especially in 2014, that was a great year for employment in Ibadan (ShopRite, Foodco hiring then). Now, to see jobs in Ibadan outside of Teaching or sales girl/boy is like finding a needle in a haystack! Well-done to APC! The demonic party steals money and chases the few jobs available out through its anti-business and anti-people policies! SMH. It is for this assertion I made that I have promised even if PDP continues to present goats as its presidential candidates, I will continue to vote for them! They can steal as blindly as they can, it is none of my business as long as the citizens continue to make a living and the cost of living is cheap which PDP understands unlike that demonic party called All Progressive Criminals - APC! 2 Likes |

Bigfish121: It is government duty to provide the right environment for business to thrive so they can create jobs. That's the truth. It is the quality of government policies and the depth of their implementation or non-implrmentation that differentiates winners from losers. Many of Buhari's policies are horrid. The worst policy are his forex policies which screams economic illiteracy. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Princeps: You also forgot you have to be like them too! My mishaps in sales (I worked as a Credit Officer marketing group loans basically) here showed me Nigerians are way more particular with the person and personality than the message unlike in saner climes! I was a salesman abroad and loved it! The whites don't care if they hate you, once there is something in it for them and you are very honest (honesty is not too sure here for example), they will patronize you! We can even see the effect of that marketing with most voters in the last election between Buhari and Atiku, one was billed an incorruptible man despite seeming security challenges then (you remember the Benue massacre of 100+ people? I did then, that was why I supported Atiku, my fear was that it was going to be nationwide and that is exactly what happened! Unfortunately, Nigerians don't learn SMH) and the other a thief. Nigerians didn't care about what messages they gave and who had better ideas and we are suffering for that shallow thinking currently. I rest my case. 1 Like |

dblock: To be honest, good grades do not count for anything in this country anymore... only long leg. Most people are better of using that time and money to start a business, ideally manufacturing. We don't make enough, and we have too many people trading (mostly selling things made abroad, which drives their economic growth). Trouble is any type of manufacturing is risky and takes a lot of time to become established and profitable, given the climate, but I would like to suggest our youths go into things like food packaging, dress making, shoemaking, farming. Yes, I know that farming has become quite dangerous under PMB, but for instance, Gov. Okowa in Delta is actively training and empowering youths in various agricultural and livestock endeavors. One example of what can be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2hoQxJJly4 start around 8:11 |
