Sure am hopeful and optimistic on my dreams and goals but hope for this country no I don't. There is nothing to be hopeful in this country. When you hope on something you keep expecting more from it. My hope is on me my family my dreams and goals. We are on our own in this country the early we know the better. The country has failed. I'm happy you still believe in the country as for me I don't. There are two type of people that still believe in Nigeria

1. The ones that don't have source or financial capability to leave this country so they don't have choice than to accept and believe.

2. The ones that have everything but are ready to fight for the masses. This are the ones that really believe in Nigeria.

You should know that the government does not believe in this country it might sound stupid but that's the fact.

For me now is when I wake up I pray go out for the days hustle, always vigilant, after hustle get home as early as possible. Go out when necessary, spend on needs until, I get better chance of leaving the country. As of now we are our own pilot.

As of what you said starting business small and also starting without borrowing. I guess you are not into business. I would have love to break it down for you but it would be long epistle.

All in all let God keep blessing our hustle protect and guide us. As we continue to survive in this country.

Yea

But they come and blame Buhari.

As a hiring Manager, I have tried to fill just 6 roles before.

My team and I interviewed over 25 candidates and NONE was worth it.

I believe that there is only one reason why Nigerian graduates are perceived as being unemployable, it is lack of skills. The world is now running a skilled economy and not a qualifications economy. If you don't have the prerequisite skills what will you be doing in the organization?

Esseite:
It's the get rich quick syndrome that is killing Nigerian unemployed...

bonnyhope:


oga!!!!!!!!!!!! is your company a rocket manufacturing one? so out of 25, not even one is suitable for the job, which means you did nt invite the right and suitable candidates.

Op, I agree with your number one point completely!
People should choose their courses of study in line with societal needs. They should not be deceived by those who go with the mantra "it doesn't matter what one studies in the university".
Truth is that you cannot study fishery ( for example) and then expect NNPC to employ you when they have no need for fishery graduates.

The system needs to be reorganized! Vocational and technical education should be emphasized over some courses. Someone who studied graphic designing in a polytechnic or vocational institution is far better than someone who graduated with first-class in chemistry but cannot find a job in the labour market.

I agree 100%. I'd rather hire someone with skills, than someone with loads so certificate who doesn't know what he's doing.
Our school system need a hard reboot.
Emphasis should be placed on equalizing theory (updated knowledge) with practical hands-on knowledge, along with easy access to industry mentors and internships.

I was at the mechanic workshop yesterday to fix my car,and if am correct d boy dat fixed it is not more than 10 years old, he changed my car kick, and also test run d car after working on d kick, guys I was amazed and I strongly believe that kid will go places,

and I immediately told someone if every parent can give their child the quality education and place them in anyform of workshops either ict,mechanic,eleclectician, name them, they have done the best and not just rushing the children tru secondary school and at the age of 15 they are already in the university without a single idea of how life is,what they just know is hw to solve calculus, and future mathematics,

the 21st century parents have to create employment and the time is now

HeyCorleone:


So a youth, hoping to venture into some business, should first borrow money to install solar power?

You're the one with zero IQ. Idiot.

TechCapon:
Yeah you're 100% correct. Imagine someone who studied petroleum engineering and doesn't even know the process of refining petrol. Even the oil bunkering guys are more skilled in petroleum refining than those so called petroleum engineering graduates. Only professional certification can correct the problem

Godshope:
Why is it that similar stories were not told on the side of their children. They even get job before graduating.

Anybody telling U that Nigerian graduates are not employable is a criminal.
Our leaders are greedy. Most of them eat the salaries of more than 100 ghost workers. Most of them will even collect Ur certificate, tell U that the job is not successful while they will use your certificate to eat your supposed salary.

Have we ever pondered to ask why the same news of graduates not been employable is not heard of their children.

Though some graduate are not worth being graduates, but that story of not employable is sure fallacy.

For instance, last Federal Civil Service had graduates with 3rd Class shortlisted for enrollment while those with 2nd Class Upper were not even shortlisted. There were even no room for interview.

Until this country learn to be open in everything, Nigeria will continue to go backward and as well be unproductive.

Finally, the so called leaders cum politicians are our problem

I always refer to all Nigerian Universities both Federal and private as glorified secondary schools. What you hear in all these Universities are : department of political science, business administration, accountancy, psychology, marriage and canceling, philosophy, economics , religious studies, law, arts and culture etc etc with little or nothing to hear of department of pure Sciences, Medicine, Agric science and technology, Electrical , Electronic, Computer, Mechanical Civil and other brand of science and technology for good job and development of the country .
Recall , South Korea back in 1945 after the end of the 2nd world war started free education up to the University level with 85% intake in Science and technology and 15% in Korean arts and culture with no law department as they said lawyers are the cause of major problems in any country of the world. A good example is Nigeria. Today South Korea is the largest producer of Ocean going vessels in the world.

Cousin9999:


1. South Korea is full of prostitutes, men who beat their wives, and alcoholics. South Koreans don't consider any of these things to be a major problem.

2. South Korea has no natural resources it can really profit from.

3. South Korea's "success" has a lot to do with agreeing to be a US military base, like Japan.

4. One company is 17% of South Korea's GDP: Samsung.

5. South Korea is terrified of North Korea because the reality is a war would send them right back to the middle ages and there's nothing they could do about it except ask the US for help.

6. South Korea cannot attract and keep foreign professionals and great minds. People cannot stand Koreans, and their culture holds no appeal.

7. The average South Korean is miserable and wants to leave the country even if they're upper class or rich.

8. South Korea does not innovate, they strictly copy; usually Japan or the US.

9. South Koreans, like Indians, are known to cheat their way through school at all levels.

10. The work culture is horrible and backwards, and resembles slavery more than a modern white collar environment. South Koreans hit employees...in an office.

Medicine, law, engineering, and the arts are fundamental pillars of society. Saying lawyers have no value is just plain stupid. Every person in a market requires the use of a lawyer the same way we all need a plumber for our toilets to flush or a garbage man to haul stuff away. These are the nuts and bolts of business and infrastructure.
