High Rate Of Unemployment: My Opinion. by damoneymag(m): 3:22pm On Sep 16, 2021 |
High unemployment rate: My opinion Current unemployment rate in Nigeria as at quarter 4 2020, stands at 33.3% according to the Nigerian bureau of statistics NBS. This simply means more than half of our working population which stands at 69.7millions persons are either outrightly doing nothing of working jobs that can not guarantee their daily survival in this hostile economy of ours. This unemployment rate is an all time high and Nigeria is only second to Namibia when it comes to unemployment. I don't think this information should come as a surprise to anyone in his/her right senses. But the baffling thing about thing is, the government have chosen to play the ostrich and engaging in cosmetic approach to solving this menacing problem. The fact remains our educational system and curriculum, are tailored to create job seekers not job creators. A Nigerian graduate after national service, is totally clueless on how to survive without a nine to five job. Hence we see all kinds of mediocre businesses spring up here and there that end up folding up after a year or two. There has to be a deliberate, purposeful and sincere move to root out this menacing giant from our society before it brings it to it's knees. There should be a total rejig and overhaul of our Academic curriculums, tailored uniquely to prepare young people and equip them with requisite skills needed to survive outside the four walls of a classroom. Entrepreneurship and skill acquisition should be taught from secondary up to tatiary Level of education. It should be made compulsory in WAEC and the exams should be exhibition based and not theory based. Every student upon graduation from secondary school should have a vocational skill, as well as an IT skill. By IT I don't mean how to turn on and off a computer as we are seeing today, I mean graphics, coding, hacking and to mention but a few. The government should establish well equipped IT centers were secondary school student spend minimum of 3months a year, learning an IT skill. The school calendar should be designed to incorporate industrial training and skill acquisition. And this centers should be provided by the government. Our subject should be tailored uniquely to solve our problem and not spending years studying things that have zero real life applications or relevance in today's society. Until then, more POS boots will keep spring up here and there and singlets and boxers vendors, will keep flooding our timeline on social media. 63 Likes 9 Shares

"The government should do dis, do dat" First Nigerians should stop breeding out kids like it's some sort of an achievement, it doesn't matter how gud a policy is, if it can catch up to population growth! This applies to all Nigerians, Small money person go just marry & start making babies...is dat our only purpose in life!. D reason it's so evident in d north is dis useless Almajiri system where they can just throw kids away to d public without any consequences. Despite d incompetence & overwhelming corruption of d leaders, things won't be dis bad if our population is well controlled maybe around 70-80 million. 118 Likes 13 Shares |

There are people and industries that are gaining from high level of unemployment in the country and even internationally. When there is unemployment, labor cost reduces. It’s because of unemployment that Dangote pays stipends to majority of its staff. During the next executive management meeting at your favorite bank, part of what they will be discussing is how to cut low level employee cost, lay off middle level staff and take advantage of the unemployment situation in the country by bringing about casualization of the staffs. A graduate who has been searching for job for years will jump at an opportunity though the employment conditions are dreadful or even degrading. 25 Likes 1 Share |

We need to trace the root of our problems first. Electricity needs to be 24/7. In that case the ministry of tourism will notice a drastic increment in yearly income thereby generating jobs amongst other jobs that'll be created as a result of constant electricity. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

Who's to be blamed?? I think one of the mistakes most youths keep making is believing that they'd be taken care of forever by their parents or whoever is supporting them financially not knowing those parents are also looking up to them in the future as some source of investment That thought of been taken care of have made so many youth become irresponsible of their life There are skilled trades all over the place with minimal competition, but most of them doesn't want to go through stress and look dirty, it's just funny sometimes when some of them sees you doing most of these jobs as some kind of shit and still have the effontry to come to your dm and beg for money 2 Likes |

Did you listen to Angela Merkel, German Chancellor's reply to Chimmamanda Adechie's question on why Siemens has not helped Nigeria to solve her electricity problem? Then you'll know the unemployment was set up to punish Nigerians Imagine the capital, technology, equipment, and experience Siemens would have added to Nigeria, which would have brought more than 10 million jobs.
