"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.

Yes I do, keep your opinion to yourself. Moreover, he won't come down, he will use men to do it.

Is Nigeria population greater than that of India or China or Brazil?

In case you don't population is economy, strength and positive factor towards development.

High unemployment rate: My opinion


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.

Fact!
My neighbor (a driver) that lives in the security house that my greedy landlord converted to a single room apartment (not sef con) just gave birth to his fifth kid. I was wondering how they did the do that led to pregnancy while living with four kids and a 12 yr nanny ( the wife's younger cousin) .

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.

Leadership is our problem

Namibia or Equatorial Guinea with just 5 million population yet high unemployment? What you wrote is not the reason.

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.

In the 21st century, you still expect God to come down and develop your country for you.

Wonders shall never end.

Acidosis:
You want programmers to start earning 15k monthly, right? It's not bad enough that some website and graphics designers now live from hand to mouth? A profession that used to be "hot" in the marketplace and still hot in many countries has now turned to "pure water" in Nigeria because of our reactive tendencies.

Nigeria is not ripe for these things bruv. Industrial revolution is what we need at this level. Lets learn how to feed, and provide our basic necessities - toothpaste, toothpick, tissue, notepad, satchet tomatoes, bags, etc.

You see this digital thing everyone wants to do because they saw piggvest, cowrywise, abeg, Kuda's model, would soon destroy the country.

We should be learning from China and Taiwan at this level, do mini manufacturing, produce chips for bigger manufacturing companies, wires, plastic, tissue paper, pen, notepad, shoes, wigs, wristwatch, wall clock, window blinds, textiles, plastic, electric bulb, etc.

Please Google "manufacturing companies in Taiwan" or check China's Alibaba. Most of your phone's components were made by locals in these country, from Samsung to Apple, etc. Just mini companies doing great stuff for the bigger companies.

These are tech stuff our people can/should do, not push everyone to learn graphics or website development. After hustling for crumbs and competing with Indians on freelance websites, what next?

To save Nigeria, graduates must massively delve into manufacturing. Website development won't feed the country. It would only take a single soul or at most a family out of poverty until the profession "cast" like POS business. Oh, we don't produce the POS machine by the way.

Imagine 20 companies trying to produce different automotive/automobile components, e.g. gearbox, tyres, car seats, etc. all doing their stuff for Toyota in Nigeria. This is the Taiwanese secret.

onyegwu:
You made so much sense. Though due to our lack of basic amenities like electricity it can be a little difficult but not unable but all the same I love your take on this one. Thank you.

Nickymichy:
I saw people talking about population bla bla... people should give birth to the number of children they can cater for... that's nice....OP is right...our problem is not population...our problem is what OP just highlighted...see ehn, Nigerians lack focus and ideas..take for instance, a guy opened a POS boot in a pal e and to God be the glory, the guy is making it. B4 you know it, about 15guys will go and open boot close to him..it's so sad...our reasoning ehn, i no fit explain...the population of India is more than the population of Africa as a whole..les not talk about China...out population is not our problem honestly

Dailyparrot:


It's not about the population but the per capita income which is gross national income divided by population size.


The countries you mentioned especially China has a higher GDP to population ratio than Nigeria.

Selfmotivated:

Nigeria do not make use of it's enormous manpower rather they prefer to hire expatriates. If the government care, they will train personnels thereby creating jobs for many people. Vast arable land where people can be employed as farmers to boost agricultural production, they refuse; build refineries, manufacturing industries and food processing industries they are reluctant. This is pure wickedness. A blessed country wallowing in poverty.
