budaatum:


"A job" is something you do for someone else in order for you to earn a wage to earn a living. I give you a job to do for me because it is profitable for me to give you the job. I pay you for the time and effort you exert on my behalf in order to earn me a profit, and not so you may have a job!

If you can not first do a job, what please would anyone hire you and pay you a wage for doing?

That is why I first get you to apply for a job by showing me what you can do for me, and I interview you to ensure you truly can do what you say you can do.

I do not owe you a job. I give you one because I will earn more by giving you the job. And do note that if you can not do the job, or if your country is not suitable for my business, I will go elsewhere and find those who can do my job so I can earn a profit because I am not in the charity business of feeding lazy fuqs!

If you can't pull my cart I will get someone who can! So first learn cart pulling so I can bring my cart to you to be pulled. But if you intend to stand in front of my cart and expect it to be pulled, I, the cart owner, can not possible be so ignorant as to be waiting for my cart you are standing in front of to get to where I would desire it to arrive at! As Fela might sing, "cart pullers who stand in front of carts, na swegbe and pako!"

Job creation is a must for the government.

TheGoodJoe:


Disagree. There are job employment process for even people with menial skills. Just as painting, farming, even refuse disposal jobs that can improve lives.

budaatum:
Nobody will invest in a country it's citizens call a zoo, because it is very obvious that the animals will break out of their cage one day and turn the country into a jungle and eat up all one's investments!

But I guess you don't quite get the fact that if Nigeria is a zoo, as some claim, we the Nigerians are the animals in the cages in the zoo that will one day break out and turn the zoo into a jungle.

Deceive yourselves some more, I say, expecting to reap without first tilling the ground before sowing!

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree. Jumia is selling loads. Our challenge is our economic climate that have kept loads in the state of poverty. The government working towards improving the wealth index will boost a better business climate.

Magnoliaa:


I don't get who are speaking to here. Nigerians, as civilians? Or the leaders?

budaatum:


So you agree that Nigeria has it's Jeff Bezos already in Jumia? Is Jumia goverment owned? Did some people not stop waiting and wailing for government and go and create Jumia in order to provide a source of income for themselves and the thousands they employ?

Meanwhile, you are here watching the weather of government who you blame for your own inability to sow your own seed?!?

I hope you know my sympathy for you is nil, as in minus zero!

budaatum:


There is no excuse for you not to go and paint or farm or collect refuse in your neighbourhood. There are already thousands of Nigerians doing those jobs and creating employment opportunities for themselves and for others instead of wailing and waiting for some government to create those jobs for them to do!

They are responsible for the food on their own tables while you expect government to be responsible for the food on your table. Who's starving and wailing, you or them?

budaatum:


You keep believing that the sweat of the brow of some government will create a job for you to do. When you start to starve you will get off your ass and create your own source of employment or starve to death I promise you.

The statement below is not a curse, but the obvious factual undeniable truth of human existence. If you do not sow you will not eat, is what it basically means.

budaatum:


There is no excuse for you not to go and paint or farm or collect refuse in your neighbourhood.

TheGoodJoe:


Because Jumia is growing, does not mean the government should fold it arms. Even the nollywood industry, music industry is going. That does not mean the government does not have its responsibility to create jobs and support growing local industries.

finito.

How should we behave??

Sign of a failed ruler!

ThumbzTNA:
As elected leader, you are mandated to provide jobs for the populace. In civilized countries like the USA, one of the indices used to evaluate the performance of an administration is the number of jobs created. Going by this statement, what this means is Buhari has intentionally chosen to fail the masses.

This man is the worst thing to happen to Flora Shaw's Nigeria.

Sebastine1994:
Last time Buhari said Nigeria youth were lazy.

youths were angry, I too was angry.

but as an objective and rational person, I went to search for the video, I found it. replayed it almost 500 times, in slow motion.

guess what, the man never made such statement, we were putting words into his mouth.

No wonder the man has been avoiding interviews

I would not comment on anything until I watch the video for myself.

God give me data

TheGoodJoe:


If Jeff Bezos and I had started Amazon.com in a poverty-stricken corner of Africa, there would have been no job creation because there would be no people to buy the stuff from Amazon.com. The difference here is the American middle class, which is by every measure the most extraordinary economic achievement in the history of the world. Nick Hanauer

So understand that it is not about intelligence alone.

Magnoliaa:

So what if you had the ability and have sowed, and the weather (which the government can control and regulate in this case) doesn't favor you, then what? You're assuming people are not doing! You're assuming people are wailing and complaining because results (success) is not being seen. No, success is not "totally" in your hands. Do you know how many start up businesses that have crashed as opposed to Jumia? And because of some governmental policies or lack of it? Businesses the naira devaluation has affected? You're looking at this from an individual angle, but outside of that there are things (policies, laws, bureaucracies, systems) that'll affect and condition the choices you'll make.

Magnoliaa:


Lol. Sorry, but is this what you do? Is this what you also expect people who went to and graduated with degrees to do? All of them? If the government is not meant to provide jobs that'll put food on people's table, then what's their purpose?

dairykidd:

Leave that dimwit to be posting nonsense bro.. na to ignore those types sure pass

Who is swallowing? Is it not us Nigerians? Are we not the snake, the monkey, the government, the law enforcement agents, protester - peaceful and unpeaceful, the professor, the pamperer and the terrorist that is killing people? Are they not all Nigerians just like you and me?

Buhari is saying nobody will invest in us if we continue behaving like animals!

Is it a lie? Can you not see for yourselves that nobody is investing in giving you a job?

Psoul:


Now, you have come in terms wt we are saying.
You have just admitted that the people in the country are behaving like animals.
