If you graduate from a university and you come out looking for someone to employ you, then you are one of the problems of this country. With the knowledge and enlightenment you've gained from school, you should be the one employing and empowering people.
There are several businesses one can start building now which requires little capital but with a potential for massive returns in the long run.

Well...

I will give you an advise.

You have to be strategic in your search.

If you think you will get a job just by posting your CV on every job application advert and site you find, trust me, youll never get a job

You need to be strategic.

Truth is there are jobs. If you know how to find them, there are jobs.

You just have to be strategic


mehn I so much love your words....especially the last part.... see ehn dont be deceived when someone tell u there isn't job in Nigeria...they are...u just need to know where to look jare...this is what have been holding on to sha

I don't know what to say to you.

Just because you passed through a University does not mean you are a bred entrepreneur. A University does not teach you to be one. I dont know what knowledge or enlightenment you are speaking of.

Every entrepreneurial knowledge I have today was garnered outside of the University through years of repeated trials and error. Not everone is cut out for that. Not everybody has the stamina to endure failure.

You talk of starting a business like its going to be profitable right out the gate.

A good job is subjective, when I finished my NYSC, I was staying with my uncle in Ikoyi, I got a 30k job with my OND, (I have different level cv's then) I started, though it lasted for about 6 months, got a 50k job, did that for another 6 months, got a 70k job till I got my present job and I finished NYSC in 2016, the point is you can't stay without doing something, no body is going to hold you if you decide to leave a job after 2 months, the problem is staying without a job for a long period, you will begin to feel like a woman who her menopause sneak up on.

As a matter of fact, if you have a 250k a month job I am very interested, I am still looking for a good job (Whatever that means)

No jobs you ganna wait until Buhari is out this is the problem we the Nigerians is facing today

I don't know if it is me but I hate it when people say things like this. Starting a business in Nigeria is not easy and the educational system of Nigeria didn't design graduates for such.

A female or male graduate can go into small scale food businesses (like frying akara).

This can earn you a daily profit of between N2000 to N3000

You can start this business with N10,000 to N15,000

This is even better than a monthly salaried job of N20,000.

You can raise the capital for your next level of business from 1 to 3 years.

This is how some of the big businesses started and raised the needed capital for their next line of business.

Graduated since 2015 and got my first and only tangible job experience in 2018 with UBA. I worked for one year and had to resign because my contract ended and there was no hope of being made a full core staff cry cry. Since 2019, I have been jobhunting seriously and I am so tired. My side businesses are nothing to write home about as I get low patronage despite my many adverts and co. I have spent so much traveling for test and interviews at different locations and I am feeling so frustrated. I don't even understand what's going on anymore, I don't know which way to face again and I dare not rush into marriage without being established a little to avoid more problems. Abeg if anybody is led by the Lord, please assist a young lady in getting a job undecided undecided. Jobhunting has drained me. Just today, a certain recruitment agent told me I don't have experience for a 40k job o as a Front Desk Officer/Customer service officer. Mehn I weak finish undecided undecided undecided. Not to mention getting 3 regret mails back to back. Right now I am learning Website design courtesy one empowerment agency in Benin but I am getting tired cause I don't have personal laptop to even practice what I am being taught at home.
Sorry for the long post sha, I just needed to vent out cause I am tired cry cry.

embarassed
SAD!!!!!
Anyone who doesn't understand this post should play▶️ Akon's "Ghetto".

Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto, ghetto we livin'

These streets remind me of quicksand
When your on it you'll keep goin' down
And there's no one to hold on too
And there's no one to pull you out you keep on fallin'
And no one can here you callin'
So you end up self destructing



I just wish I can give you a job right away... but I haven't such power yet.

Millions of graduates in Africa are in similar situation with the poster.

My advice: Go radical.

Also pray and tell God to elevate your attitude and locate you with a great job or idea!
Pray and scream and cry to God for favour and watch what will start happening.

When the advice of God hits you or his favour rocks you directly both your attitude and altitude will change.

Some folk will try to deceive you, but God answers prayers... Especially someone in a situation like this. GUARANTEED
Talk to God and listen carefully and humbly.

Final Word: LADY, NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
