Opportunities stare at so many people at different points, but there is this inability to look at that direction. Some youths in this generation are basically wasting away and waiting on white collar jobs, connect and praying the type of Olajumoke's prayers. Truth is, if you don't make efforts, you wouldn't be part of a success story. Aside jobs, some youths are wasting away by doing things that are hazardous to them and the country.

1. waiting on jobs- Truth is this, not everyone is ever gonna work in an office environment. For some, they are likely to end up as entrepreneurs, employers, staffs and so on. So many youths keep waiting on white collar kind of jobs, waiting on someone to connect them and so on. You really don't have to wait on anyone. Push yourself, start with the little capital you have,be diligent in what you do and watch how you excel.

2. Looking for easy routes- Many youths don't even want to earn through the right process. They rather cut corners and look for easy routes. Youths go into fraud, prostitution, rituals and so on. They want a sugar mummy and daddy to make their lives better. What you work hard for, you cherish it and you are proud of it. Nothing good comes so easy.

3. No thirst for knowledge- Most youths now find it difficult reading. Even when an important message, text or book is sent across, it becomes a burden to read and digest. Some youths rather go have fun than attend quality seminars, events or listen to piece of information that could be useful. There are many skills acquisitions that are free or you have to pay little, you find out some youths still wouldn't attend. Knowledge is never a waste. We don't even research on job opportunities, scholarships that could be beneficial.

4. Lustful desires- Now that there is recession, you find out some youths are still spending on things that don't add up. They try to impress those that don't matter. Spend weekly on liabilities instead of assets. Some youths just want to live like these celebrities. Empty their wallets just to stay relevant. Spend outrageously on gadgets, fashion items, trips that don't add up.

5. Wrong company- so many youths are in companies that are likely to dampen their future. They go into relationships that don't add any value to them. Relationships where you don't have a good foundation and you become are turned to a punching bag or ATM machine. Most youths are keeping wrong company with those that wouldn't make them grow. You are likely to become like the person you stay with often.

Very True. No. 1 most especially.

Hmm, couldn't agree more.

NO. 6 : NYSC

NO. 7: Drugs, Por.n and mastuba...

NO. 8: 9jabet

NO. 9: Cultisim

In actual fact, most of our young people in tertiary institutions are doing nothing but wasting thier time, better to go learn a trade, skill or hand(y)work.

My brother, if I start telling u Wat most of us have passed through to make ends meet, u will show some empathy to our course. Those that are employed now didn't even struggle as much as we have done. If u have any job at all, advertise it here and stop making the issue appear as if the unemployed like me aren't serious.
U talked of emptying their wallet to feel among, do u empty wallet that is already empty? Think of the Government that has failed us both in job hunt and empowerment. The problem with most of us is finance to start up something, not that we enjoy bn idle or that we are waiting for white collar jobs.

Going to school is a waste of time. You are likely to graduate when you are 28 or 27 without learning anything. If you must go to school, travel out of this hell called Nigeria.

Discovering your talents and building up your skills with be a very productive way to tackle unemployment.

youth empowerment

every youth wana belong to the slay queen and slay kings gang...GET RICH OR DIE TRYING SYNDROME. GOD HELP US ALL

The one that suprises me most is the youths think life starts after university. They feel so comfortable, chasing women up and down and collecting money from there parents. Pls, my dear homeboys, start your hustle as early as 15 while you school so that the next 15yrs you are already a millionaire. If you dont know how to hustle, go to Onitsha at 15 and learn trade while schooling.

Amen

infact bro you just took the words outta my mouth
I wonder how people always make unemployed youth feels they ain't doing well to help themselves.
Everyone wants a white collar job not because they wish to stay there till eternity but just to raise a capital and start up their own business.
Who doesn't wish to become his/her own boss.

Enough of all these 20 ways you waste your youth age bla bla

I get you dear, you see in the post, i kept emphasizing on the word ''some youths''. You could research on jobs, skills, just be busy. Some employers are gonna ask what you have been doing while you were unemployed, you know it speaks volume about you. it is well.
