Growing up, i seen a lot of movies showing the true reality of nigeria especially when it comes to securing a job in this country. Honestly this is something you can never understand if you dont have someone older who had to sit at home for a long time before God answered their prayers. our universities do not even help matters as most of us dont even have practical skills.

Those things we didnt care about begin to count when they enter the labour market. if you are reading this and you are still an undergrad pls try and start a business and if you arent business inclined, build your CV and do internships. if you cant do all this try and gain practical skills

There are jobs out there for undergrad please apply, if you are still serving please dont spend all your money on frivolities. try and save & invest. just try to plan ahead of time..... MOST IMPORTANTLY

1- have a linkedin profile, and connect (whether you are a graduate or not)
2- have a very well crafted CV
3- pray and work

For those who want to check if their CV will pass the popular ATS scan, please try to use https://www.jobscan.com. it will tell you the gray areas in your CV
dont despair your future is bright!!!!!

It is actually worrisome as I never envisaged this kind of predicament. I never had a skill and has no business idea. All I believed was for miracle to fall from heaven after my POP but here I am now, no job, no skill. Just sitting at, walking and carrying file from one place to another. even the undergraduate job, I no see. my advice for people out there, please make haste while the sun shines. look for a productive skill and engage yourself. don't rely on the so called "connection " they might fail you. anyways, I was able to save up to 70k from my allowee but I don't know how to go about it. any useful idea is welcomed as am eager to engage myself to doing something. time is not by my side anymore.

You've said it all.
The truth of the matter is there are little or no jobs available to graduates in this country and the little jobs that are available are reserved for those who have the so called "connections".The rest of us are left to slug it out with ourselves.
Na God go help us for this country

Yea.I learnt my lesson 5years ago ..Believe me sir I don't know where my certificate is presently.. Thank God for Covid -19 a lot of students have or are learning new skills due to closing of schools.... Learn Skills (as many as you can) while you go to school is the new Nigeria surviving mechanism

honestly i had this problem, i never learnt a skill myself. i think thats one the things we have to do in this nigeria, try and have soft skills. with 70k you can actually start a side hustle, i cant think think of one right now but i am sure other reading this can give suggestions.. i want to remember that when vardy was 25 he was still a nobody infact puyol of barcelona won his first trophy at 27... tho it seems as if time is not on your side.. i am sure your testimonies will bear witness to your hard work..
