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.


Thank you very much. Prayers and encouragement from my mum(who single-handedly sponsored my education) are what gives me comfort now. Although it is hard but I am praying, speaking with people and still submitting applications here and there.

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.
Even in the western world Graduates look for job... where you guys get the opposite mindset that a graduate ought to employ people baffles me, like why the education at all and parents spending a lot with students studying hard, better we all become business and skilled people then!

Naso una go just dey talk rubbish... If naso e be, business go don even plenty pass customer... Nonsense! No be everyone go do business or entrepreneurship. Its inbuilt, there are those that can only function in an environment where they are told exactly what to do... Even if u give them 10million cash, they'd still need someone else to tell them how to use the money. Abeg make we dey reason before we talk. Cause it was easy for you or that you were able to pull such off doesn't mean its the same with everyone.

Got my first job after 7 years,people saying you should start business ask them if they will give u capital to start.Got my first job as an officer on just 28k/month with no real experience though I added experience in my CV,i started acquiring d real job experience and luckily for me I got another job as a manager on d job in a multinational company after just a year and my salary jumped to a six figure.Note that I knew nobody in both companies,My CV and luck got me d jobs. I took the first job despite the meagre salary and d experience I gathered gave me d confidence to pass d interview for d managerial position I got later.

Kindly share some of these businesses so that others who are not enlightened can learn. At least that way, you; a graduate, would have impacted in no small way.

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.
Just read my last post.

If you are a graduate,just look for people's need to meet.

You don't have to be ashamed of what people will say.

Most menial jobs are easier to go into than salaried jobs.And most menial jobs pay more than salaried jobs.

Depends on your Field and what you can do, I am into ICT and property sales. If you can sell a unit of a terrace duplex, you are looking at between 2m to 4m.

Though at the moment we are not recruiting.

I am working presently in a Paramilitary agency after 5 years of no job but my location Abuja is an expensive town, too expensive for my income level. I am still as good as struggling. Hoping to be posted out soon. Those shouting business, if you don't work with someone and learn the tenets of running a successful business, you will be one of the reasons people fail in business. Apply for jobs and work with someone and then save up to start yours.

For me , I am still an undergraduate and in my penultimate year( Studying Industrial Chemistry) and on 4 point.

I want to plead with nairalanders who can help connect me with any manufacturing/ production company in Lagos where I can do my 6 months Industrial Training which will start from May this year.

I have trekked and trekked to all the companies I know of, but most of them always say they don’t take due to COVID. While for most one has to have connections in order to be taken.

Please connected nairalanders help a brother/son please

Look for a pure water company and do your IT joor.

It's unfortunate many people chose courses without considering the feasibility of employability.

It's only after graduation that reality sets in.

Anyway you can hustle as an agent, helping people to search for house.
