Dumbohari and the midget commissioner don finish this country. They need to go.

Unemployment rate increasing by the day and fg is doing nothing about it. There was a country

Chai God which kind of punishment is this? Buhari is an embodiment of failure. He failed in 1983 he has failed again.let's vote him out to secure our future

Sai Baba till 2050 !

Awon Werey

Buhari must go Shikenan!

When will Nigeria be great,people are dying, minimum wage is less than $80, Nigeria debt is over $10billion, people are loosing their jobs, graduates are jobless.
We have to choose wisely in this 2019 elections, let us forget about ethnicity, religious differences and political influences. God bless all Nigerians this coming 2019.

Actually, if working age population grew from 111.1m to 115.4m, it means 4.3 people entered the working age population

But unemployed grew from 17.6 million to 20.9million which is 3.3 million.

Meaning in the time frame, 1 million jobs were created in the time space but not enough to absolved the growing population.


You people need to ease up in the unprotected sex I swear

Why are you afraid to call "Otoro" by name?
We all Know how these Almajiri's Multiply like yeast cells.
Why, they could almost set up a Republic here in Lagos.


Anyway, I wonder if they are included in the unemployed figure.
If they are, We are in deep sh*t.
If they are not, we are in a deeper sh*t still.

Bubu should just resign

Na wa ooo




And as I dey see 2019 election,baba go still win ooo

We shall overcome.

Informal jobs and self-employed are not captured in this data.

Judging by this:
“Working age population up from 111.1m in Q3 2017 to 115.4m in Q3 2018 = addition of 4.3m to the Labour Force

And "Total Employed persons(Full+Partime) up from 69.09m in Q3 2017 to 69.54m in Q3 2018,” = addition of almost 46k jobs.

So, it's a net gain!

The headline is very misleading.

Asshurbanipall:

Shut up

How did the yorubas vote for this uneducated man to lead the largest black nation in the world?

The Yoruba's are an embarrassment to the word education.... Infact, Yoruba and education should never be in the same sentence....

Sai baba is taking us to the next level

But I thought Buhari created 500,000 Npower jobs?

Why are we having over 2 million increase in unemployed people? Maybe they didn't apply for Npower.


But Buhari is working sha....

And some people will still want to vote buhari abi na jubrin...

You will see the children of hate who are always waiting for any iota of negative news about their country masturbating all over the thread like gays without reading the main story.

Entrepreneurship is bae mehn!

These are kind of people who are MOD, extremely myopic.

This dude once said that he doesn't care the method used to free Chibok girls.

Nairaland needs a total overhauling just like the Nigerian government.
