The ugly unemployment statistics of Nigeria has been highlighted by the number of applications from higher degree and first degree holders who sought employment as drivers in Dangote group. The staggering figure stands at 13,000.

Of the 13,000 applications received by the Dangote Group for the Graduate Executive Truck Driver, there were six Ph.D, 704 Masters and over 8,460 Bachelor degree Speaking during the mentor-ship meeting of the World Bank Youth Forum, Chairman of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said that the company only needed 100 drivers, but received the overwhelming applications.

According to Dangote, most of the applicants were from reputable universities and had the needed quality.

He said: “All these things are verifiable, and they all graduated from reputable institutions which is satisfactory; and our plan is to eventually make them self dependent.

“Despite the fact that the drivers get trip allowances on each trip along with their salaries, the arrangement is that they will own the trucks at no interests or repayments after they must have reached 300,000 kilometres, which is about 140 trips from Lagos to Kano and a hard working driver can complete in two years, while lazy ones can take maximum of four years.”

Analysts believe that the three tiers of government have not done enough to create employment or create enabling environment for the organised private sector to employ more Nigerians.

In a growing economy, it is rather shocking that Ph.D and Masters degree holders are seeking placement as drivers.

Martin Onyilokwu of Media Development Initiative believes that the revelation is a wake up call for government to go beyond rhetoric and start the implementation of credible programmes to improve the living condition of Nigerians.

He said:“It is no longer enough to claim that the economy is growing by this or that per cent. The truth of the matter is that Nigeria is not witnessing appreciable development. We have a situation where the living standard of the people is at an all time low as exemplified by insecurity, poverty, unemployment, massive corruption, executive and legislative recklessness. There is a need for government to wake up to its responsibility.”

It would be recalled that in the course of last week, thousands of young graduates staged protests at the Ministry of Interior in Abuja when officials denied them access to submit application forms. The ministry has since claimed that no employment was on-going.

Wherever rumour of employment is circulated, thousands of duly qualified candidates turn up to participate.

No shaking....up united. Man U hav got enough players on the bench to deal wit dat.

Over embellished....she is not as endow as this, however she is pretty n Relatively talented but is too early to compare here with d sharks in d industry.

Barack Obama’s half-brother George is speaking out about his relationship with his older brother Barack Obama. In his film debut he talks about his non-existent relationship with his relative who is the most powerful man in the world.
George Obama, 30, lives in Nairobi, Kenya and first came into the public eye in 2008 when his half-brother was a rising presidential candidate. George hold’s little resentment towards his half brother but acknowledges he is not sure why Barack does not reach out to him.
In the interview George talks about Colonialism, and his view on how the Kenyan’s were better off when the European’s were in Kenya employing Colonialism. He drew from the example of South Africa to make his point

Rest in peace..Mama

If it were mtn dat fuckd their custy up lik dis.. Nairalander wld hav rained all kind of abuse n derogatory statemnt on mtn. Now dats is glo u guys were able to bear wit them.....mtn all d way.

I c no reason y people r always complainng about mtn, is a matter of choice, afterall there r numerous network to choose from. If u cannt afford mtn then try other network. I wanna believe u guys cannot jst keep ur eyes off mtn bn an amaible n most reliable in network in Nigeria...no wonder their rates r expensive.

Congrats serena, luv u and proud of u...a nice come back, keep it up maam.

Fhemmmy: Lol . . . I think this is more to compete with Amazon Kindle fire and not Ipad.

Joey82: not hating but d banj dosnt look like the african music messiah.
his lyrics lack substance and that is what wins u an award.
the only grammy hopefuls we have in naija right nowis either asha or nneka or maybe darey!
nice said we shouldnt doubt him, he'll bring those grammies but i doubt

guy terminate ur doubt, is all about entertaiment, lyrics aint shit. Dbanj is an entertainer...ar u not entertained? One luv dbanj.

Joey82: I think like some one mentioned earlier, its very important to monitor our banks.
Boko haram is a pretty rich terrorist group, with the kinda high profile bombings and terror they unleash, its safe to say they got sponsors and no doubt from within.
There must be some bank where moneys are changing hands, accounts of all suspected sponsors should be monitored.
I also think a new minister of defence with military background and respect should be appointed, the defence ministry is way to sensitive to be politicised,
last time i checked, the minister of state for defence was a female politician - surprising.

i think u r right, but this people were never directly involve in any monetry transaction. They pass tru diffrent parties n representatvs who front their transactions for dem.

the solution to dis bokoharam insurgency is as thus, mr president shuld call dis people he claimed to knw to b thier sponsore n negociate wit them, similarly, the so calld bokoharamist should embrace dis gesture of dialogue.
