This really hits the nail on the head, and am sure this will serve as a touchstone for grads to evaluate themselves when faced with the dilemma of being a fool or a wise man. Anyways av as well fell in the category of the wise one's and i understand wt it looks like all the way up. Bigups @kinibigdeal !!!

It means you dont know the scope of your job. Let me give you a tip, what do you know about Facility management in the context of your discipline? How does your discipline relate to the construction industry? You need to know more about your discipline before complaining of opportunities. You have no business with marketing if you know the question why, where and how! thanks
We are here to educate one another and not for ostentation. Now, tell me what I don't know about the scope of my job. Tell me how facility management and construction relates to my field. Tell me anything you know about my field that you think I don't know; since you have decided to ask me irrelevant questions instead of facing the hard facts that I raised above.
We are not victims of the challenges of this world, but we are victims of how we see and react to the challenges of the world. Unemployment is currently our major challenge in this country. But If educated young people like us will fail to see the beginning/cause of this problem, then we can't expect to see its end. You disappoint me so much by insinuating that a marketer knows more about my discipline than I do.

Our regular dictionary explains a fool as ''someone who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person'' while same dictionary explains a wise man as someone ''with experience, knowledge, and a good judgement''.

Before i elucidate further, take a look at the following statistics in order to have a clearer picture of where am heading to. A research was carried out by ''Jobstreet journal'' to determine the core reasons why ''Fresh graduates are finding it hard to get a job'' the respondents employed for the research were majorly ''employers of labour''. The findings from the research reveals that 68% of the employers agrees that ''UNREALISTIC SALARIES AND BENEFITS, BEING TOO CHOOSY ON JOBS'' were the two major reasons why fresh graduate couldnt get a job.
http://www.jobstreet.com.my/career-resources/employers-fresh-graduates-unrealistic-expectations/

What then is my points regarding the topic?

I will classify 90% of unemployed graduate in the category of a ''wise man'' while the remaining 10% are the fools. Why? Because a fool will rather dine with a pig to get fed while a wise man will rather go hungry than to dine with a pig. I'm not saying there are jobs in Nigeria but i'm saying many of the unemployement situation in Nigeria are ''Self afflicted'' How? Recalling the findings of the ''Jobstreet journals'' you will discover that many of our fresh graduate are being too choosy on jobs.
Everyone wants to work with Dangote, NLNG, Telecomms etc to boost ego's but no one is ready to start with ''Kabiru's Incorporated''. That's the problem! Everyone want to start with fat salary, impress their peers on instagram, Nairaland and show fleets of current ride's on facebook but no one is ready to sacrifice. Am not saying is a crime to be ambitious, but am asking if such ambition can work in a ''rotting system''? See i started my first job as a 'Fool' with a pay of 25k while many of my colleagues were mocking me and waiting to submit ''applications' in the next job adverts in Dangote. Yea, the mocking is for real when your monthly transport fare is around 15k and you are earning 25k, of what benefit is the remaining 10k? But to me, my aim was beyond the firm! I wanted to build a platform, i wanted to gain experience, i wanted to build a ''referral''. Ofcourse it did work! It was from the low paying firm that i connect to a better paying firm. Today, i may not be earning as large as the guy's in the oil sector but am 'confortable'' while those that mocked me then are still jobless after 5years with no experience. Who will employed them? The truth is, no firm is ready to train any fresh graduate any longer because of the present state of the economy. So be a fool!

Conclusions

The best ways to fight unemployment in Nigeria is to seek ''experience'' where ever possible and forget your own ''intuition of wisdom''. How do you get the experience? Start from somewhere even if the pay is not encouraging, focus on developing yourself, use the influence of the coy to 'Network yourself, sell yourself'' and most importantly, make sure you build yourself to a level where the low paying coy cant do without you, they will be forced to review your earning. A fool will rather go for a job of 15k while a wise man will insist on a job of 1m (while staying inexperienced), at the end, a fool would have gathered enough experience to remain ''distinguished'' and employable while the wiseman will remain inexperience and keep blaming ''employers'' for seeking for experience. How can you study marketing and be scared of ''Marketing' position at Chukwudi incorporatd''? How will you know your strength and weakness irrespective of the salary? How will you study insurance and you cant apply at ''Hassan's Assurance'' because of the low pay? You can only help yourself before the government helps you. I know is not easy but we have to keep trying

This one is your cup of tea oh. The problem with you nigerians is that you want to deny everything even in the Face of daunting evidence. Forget this your preaching, the short of it is that there is no job. Why must you always make excuse to justify everything. So I should go and take up a job that pays 4000 a month, just because I want experience. My friend the short of your long tale is that people should get these experience from school. Why should you even work for someone if you are so smart

If you have certificates without skills; THERE IS NO JOB.

If you get handwork; you will be begging your job to give you chance to do other things.

Argue with clarence peters and footballers, even aba bag and cloth tailors or nnewi fabricators not forgetting your daily food sellers, drivers.

[/b] No matter how big or small or how Posh or dirty the job looks. Handwork is the future. It is everlasting.[b]
