aylagos: I don't know why these people are like this, may be its poor upbringing or they lack morals. When you see them in those countries you will they human not knowing many of them are animals and criminals Repm of benin complain of them , ivory coast also even Togo now Ghana, shame on you people from the East your parents had failed. They should just kill them or jail them life
Dying for a country like Nigeria is just a waste of life. It's better to die for the love you have for your pussy cat than to die for this country. If you die, the your remaining salary na your oga go chop am.
benedictnsi: Lol.... Na him you d talk small small
Even Domestic and wild animals for houses and bushes around Nigeria can't wait to come out en mass to vote against Ajala de junkeeter and his APC crew of propagandists
The funny part of it is that, in 2019 PDP and APC candidate is still coming from the north. Unless we are ready to vote HOPE.
Trapnews: I doubt if a sane man can do this, except for money or ritual things Women should be feared more than the devil, you see them doing the unthinkables even for nothing. That woman beside you fit strangle you one day oooo. I need to research on wetin dey trigger their madness
Hahahah! I dey tell you oh. This thing is becoming unbecoming
mrvitalis: When my Uncle was eastern director of NNPC.. I was small then... But I never forgot... He told my elder brother that's.. . Them the elite will never allow the Nigerians to be comfortable because a poor man is easier to control...
When it's time to bring money to loan to Nigeria u hear 5bn, 3bn, 3bn for agricultural equipment.. . But when the government spends on them selfs u hear hundreds of billions
This money can comfortably change the lives of over 80,000 Nigerians with 3 million loans Or 160,000 Nigerians with 1.5 million Naira loans... and this will generate and instant.. . 400,000 jobs.. And improve our GDP by over 3 billion dollars Why are our politicians wicked?? How in the name of God will someone steal 2 billion naira..?? ? Why not go into production and male cool cash
Sometimes if i'm angry about all this shit happening in this country, I try to look for someone to explain to why i'm vexed. Co's if I keep it to myself, I may have a heart attack.
Wisdomkosi: I don't care if all the politicians are in prison because when dem d collect the money d share, dem no even give me 1kb. Hunger wan kill me but dem no send. If buhari like make e send all of them go prison, next time dem go reason we poor masses. Look at that Aba Moro , get mind scam we youths and still get mind d for this naija d chop the money. Fear no catch am say many people died because of the scam recruitment. Dem won carry poverty kill we younths
.
LOL. Bro the thing pain me pass. Shishi no drop for my side.
alade112: Daz what you guys are known for. Celebrating any bad thing that happen to SW. If hausas dy suyalize una nw and fulanis dey attack una for SE person go dey pity your flat 7 shaped head
Yesterday i was in the sitting room watching a program called China24 on CCTV NEWS, an electric lamp manufacturer was interviewed together with his workers in his factory. The workers are kids between the ages or 12-18 the most beautiful part of it was that the kids can on their own manufacture same. Now let's come down to Nigeria. Nigerian students are busy searching for "x" while students in the developed countries are manufacturing things for the development of their country. In Nigeria, our engineering students spend nearly all their time solving difficult equations and searching for "x". In Nigeria, students will be asked to search for "x" I do smile and ask myself how can we use Algebra and simultaneous equation to boost the economy. How can we use the located "x" to solve the challenges facing us?
However, the above are some of the reasons why at 50+ as an oil producing country we are still importing tooth-pick and matches. Our brain has been channel to the fact that failure to go to school will end one up as a domestic servant of the educated ones which I seriously disagree with. We can't all be in the class room at the same time and expect us to catch up with the developed countries, it never done; we will keep depending on them with such barbaric idea. Let those that are willing to go into sport be on the field or track not in classroom, Christiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid FC was expelled from school at the age of 14 and today he is a world footballer. Let take those that are good in construction to factories or workshops not class room. Let's take away pen from our engineering students and send them out of class. Let's take away pen from those that are willing to take hoe, cutlass,hammer, saw, screw driver etc. Our too much dependent on pen is sending us backward. To me, spending 5, 6 or more years in tertiary institution is nothing but a total waste of time, 3 years is enough for engineering courses.12 calendar month is enough for food related courses and 3 or 4years is enough to be a lawyer. Imagine our youth spending 8years of their lives in university and still our Government don't trust on their expertise rather they travel out of the country. At this juncture, I will like to call on the government at all level to look into this and find a lasting solution to it. Lastly our government should stop sending the talented ones away by sending them aboard for training and failed to establish/provide where they will be discharging what they've learnt or the skills they've acquired upon their arrival. If we can do this, I believe that few years to come Nigeria will be the greatest country of the world while others will be on the queue at our back. But before then, I remain my humble self. God bless my father land.... Well spoken! You just aired my mind. God goo bless you. As in eeeeeeh!
Rookies always believe that if they give women "the world" it would guarantee loyalty/fidelity only to find d same woeman being "grinded" by Tajudeen the driver/Musa the maiguard/Emeka the mechanic who has got virtually nothing to offer her but attention!!!
To please a woman u need to first reason like one. Subconsciously, women cherish communication over gifts!
A woman is controlled by emotions. She will appreciate a #100 earings from a dude she's emotionally attached than a #10million car from someone she doesn't love. To make matters worse, she'll present this same car as a birthday gift to d other guy! Lmfao, Rotf.
Yup! You can buy a man's loyalty with money but not a woman! The best u can achieve with your money is her presence, but deep down, her heart is with that poor bloke!
I took time to read your message this morning and I felt very sorry for you. What if you had died in that incident, what would you tell your creator, what would have been the faith of your Dad and your siblings. Your dad would for ever regret bringing you to live, your siblings would live in shame, your late mom in her death would regret carrying you for 9months. Common man what were you thinking? Your soo soo hansom and precious to die for a girl. It should be the other way round. Co's we men are scarce GOLD. You don't know your worth that was why you tried that shit. Just try and focus, make it and you will see how girls, beautiful ones for that matter will come crawling for you including your so called lover. Abobi be strong and MAN up. Who love epp
It disturbs my soul the kind of money I hear this people steal form this country. Which way forward Nigeria. Are we going to continue with this online crying and wailing all the time? We should be finding out solution to this rubbish because as we crying now, so are this present administration are stealing there own. You won't hear about it now. I plead we should create aa youth forum that make positive impact in our country. Co's we are going to be the ones to suffer it in the nearest future.
Rayhutar: For your mind you think that you can stop importation of boxers, toothpick,hair extension etc, Nigeria dont have the infrastructure on ground to do that, NNPC boss have told you that it is cheaper to import fuel into Nigeria, you cant go into massive production without steady electricity and technological advancement. Inflation will only continue at higher rate and poverty will increase
Your right. Certain things need to be in place before we can start mass production. Electricity, most importantly . If this government can just focus on how to revive that, I think it will go a long way to help Nigerians.
oneolajire: Nigeria is a country where all big investors have no inventions (tangible or intangible) to their credit. Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Michael Dell, Thomas Edison and the likes all have products to patent, but most entrepreneurs we have in Nigeria have invented nothing and have made it through dubious means.
Entrepreneurship/vocational education is government's way of telling the youth and graduates that she (the government) lacks industrialisation and job creation strategies while the youth have been left to fate.
Entrepreneurship/vocational education is government's way of making the youth/graduates look intellectually lazy and burdensome as well as telling them that they are have been abandoned in the valley of unemployment. Unemployment rate increased simply because government owned industries and companies get strangulated by the python of corruption as well as the refusal of the government to establish new ones.
Entrepreneurship in advanced countries is about innovations, inventions, improvements, expansions, people and institutional empowerment. Modern and sophisticated skills are being utilised to manufacture goods and services which culminates into abundant job creation.
Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is of the graduate job seeker told to engage in bead making, soap making, hair dressing, laundry and so on. These businesses have neither inventions nor advancement to add to the business practice and the economy, as they also have little or no impact on the international market.
Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is also of the rich that colludes with the government to defraud the masses, destroy public corporations and infrastructures in order for them to import alternative goods. The rich set up few enterprises and often pay peanuts to their employees in order to increase their wealth; culminating into increase in poverty level and underemployment in the country.
The government of advanced countries often invest billion of dollars on education and research, so they always have intellectuals who will offer innovative products and services to the world. These products and services are initially developed into small scale businesses as they many even grow into large enterprises. While Nigeria keeps wasting hard earned funds on Small and Medium Scale (SME) development, yet the businesses are nowhere to be found.
Only an insane person will keep doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result. Am yet to see a nation that got developed by investing so little on the education of her youth and students but spend so much on SME propaganda. Still searching for a nation that gave nothing more than mere, non-professional, common, stark and non-sophisticated skills/training to her youth and achieved rapid industrial development.
Why should we buy a trailer engine, fix it in a car and try to make it compete with an aircraft? Why should we make people earn mere skills and expect them to compete with foreign sophisticated technologies? We have to know that the issue of local production of goods and services is a serious competetion with the developed nations.
Some questions for the proponents of entrepreneurship/vocational education. When will out textile, fashion and leather industry be able to make products of international standard? When will a Nigerian mechanic be able to manufacture car engines and other motor parts? When will our furniture makers be able to make furniture that will compete with ones made overseas? When will a computer repairer be able to produce motherboards, memorycards, monitors, just to mention a few?
Did America achieved greatness by emphasising on vocational trainings on how to make shoe polish, bake cake, produce detergents, event decorations , frying akara and establishment of football viewing centres? Did Britain get it right by teaching her youth how to start a beer palour and salon businesses or by ensuring technological dynamism? I wondered if it is mere phone repair training was what brought China among world's mobile phone producers. Over and over again, I see entrepreneurship and vocational education as a scam.
Take a look at the furniture industry in Nigeria, you'll discover it is almost dead because foreign furniture has flooded the Nigerian market. Foreign furniture makers have been able to introduce much variety of products with various designs, even at exorbitant prices, yet people still buy them. Imported furniture attains this much because modern machines are regularly produced to make new designs of furniture, but here in Nigeria, we only buy simple tools, we don't engage in design and manufacture of machines/tools to be used in the furniture industry, so we are perpetually making furniture that cannot compete with the foreign ones. It is only engineering that provides modern machines, stack entrepreneurship cannot.
Entrepreneurship and and vocational education has never helped Nigeria in the manufacture of modern machines for production of finished goods that can compete favourably with imported ones. The best entrepreneurship has offered us is to use social media means to engage in selling of imported products as well as setting up of few businesses with the use of foreign machines. It is appaling for government to still keep preaching the sermon that can never bring solutions to us.
Every sector of the Nigerian economy has been badly affected by the erroneous policy of entrepreneurship and vocational education. From the agricultural sector to the transportation sector, from manufacturing to education, from construction to entertainment, name it, we have rendered our nation incapacitated when it comes to production of goods and services. There can never be abundant job opportunities as long as we keep executing this lame practice.
I wonder why we have not given so much vocational training to professional operating as doctors, nurses and pharmacist in the medical field. We give this set of people trainings that can make them compete favourably with their foreign counterpart. I believe it should appear proper to the government to substitute entrepreneurship and vocational education with the training they receive in the teaching hospitals. The government (after emptying the laboratories and workshops of polytechniques and universities) substituted requisite training for our engineers and scientist with entrepreneurship and vocational training, so they are rendered handicapped when it comes to provision of modern goods and services as well as job creation.
It is high time we changed our job creation policy of entrepreneurship and vocational studies to provision of qualitative education at all levels, especially science and technology education so that Nigerian graduates would possess requisite modern and sophisticated skills for our nation and the world market at large. It is only qualitative education and intensive research that can initiate intellectual thinking for creation of innovative goods and services.
Entrepreneurship and vocational studies have been found to have contributed immensely only to economy of nations with massive investments in education and research. Singapore and South Korea are the examples of nations that have eradicated illiteracy and have invested huge funds into science and technology education, so entrepreneurship thrives there.
Let the laboratories and workshops of our secondary schools and higher institutions be adequately equipped with modern and facilities so as to provide avenues for learning practicals. We need to replicate the likes of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who utilised the qualitative education they obtained in the tetiary institutions to create worldwide business ventures in their fields.
Real entrepreneurship is when Nigerian graduates of electrical engineers can produce transformers, power generation turbines, alternators, televisions from local technologies. Metallurgical engineers must be able to produce steel for oil and gas pipelines as well as in train and car manufacturing. Combustion engines, pumps, hydraulic and pneumatic parts must be what our mechanical engineers must be able to manufacture from their companies. Businesses of agricultural science graduates should able to feed the nation cos they should empowered to do so. This is what is called real entrepreneurship.
Businesses that leads to industrialisation are offshoots of science and technological discoveries and investments. The kind of entrepreneurship Nigeria needs is one in which Nigerian chemical engineers can set up refineries and petrochemical companies with the aid local resources. I would also love to see mobile phones, computers and other information technology gadgets developed and commercialised by Nigerian graduates of computer science.
The entrepreneurship that Nigeria needs is one in which local engineering enterprises will be able to metamorphous into multinationals like General Electric, Ford Motors, Chevron, Microsoft Corporations,Tata Steel and the likes. This is how we can solve the problem of unemployment as well as put an end to the massive importation of good in Nigeria. However, with this, Nigeria will become industrialised and be listed among the developed nations of the world. Fact. oneolajire2000@yahoo.co.uk
johnydon22: This is so true.. the youths have been turned into mere political thugs and simpletons rioting and murdering themselves for fake ass old ancient politicians.
Turned to mere umbrella and broom wielding idiots standing in the sun to chant songs of praise for old men who should be in retirement homes and coming online to engage each other in some meaningless squabbles over these old men who don't even care about us.
Ever being deceived by the "Leaders of Tomorrow" mantra while the fathers of yesterdays have been ruling from yesterday up into our own tomorrow ...
It's a shame to all of us the youths, we either channel our energy towards taking the political reigns of this country or we keep chanting for old men who are robbing us of our future. I concur with you. The earlier we realise this, the better for us the youths. #YouthsInGovernment
This week's topic is how to answer the pretty much inevitable 'Tell Me About Yourself' interview question.
I've never attended an interview where ‘Tell me/us a bit about yourself’ wasn’t the first question I got asked, and trust me I’ve attended A LOT of interviews . I worked with 8 different companies during my Uni days alone. I’ve also moved on to work with many different organisations since graduation. And my experience has been that ‘Tell Me About Yourself’ is FIRST thing I'm asked at an interview.
I initially struggled every time I heard this question because I didn’t realise that recruiters are actually looking for specific information when they ask that question. Yeah, it’s an icebreaker, and an opportunity for them to get to know you a bit better BUT you need to realise that they don’t care about your marital status, state of origin, how many children you have etc (I've heard those things come up in quite a number of interviews as an interviewer).
You want to know why they don't care about that stuff? Because it’s not about you, it’s about them. Let me repeat that sentence – it’s not about you, it’s about them.
In this (short) video, I share a simple formula to help you answer the question like a PRO every single time you hear it nice
xpac01: God!! Are you kidding me. And the inscription of NYSC logo looks ever renewed and maintained. This is a pure mockery on us the youths
I swear, serious mockery. We the youths don't have a say in this country. We are been intimidated by this ppl. It's high time we started doing something about this. NYSC is the closest youth forum to the FG. When we start this revolution I bet you, others will follow. What rubbish!!
opalu: LET US UNITE TO MAKE NIGERIA GREATER! WE THE YOUTHS CAN MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!!!
.. we the youths should take it upon ourselves to put a stop to all this mess. Nobody wants to come out and start the revolution, all we do is sit back in our house complaining day and night. Nothing changes unless we change it.
There is something fundamentally wrong with the Nigerian youth
Why do Nigerian youths fail to put ethnic, religious, and every other affiliation sentiments aside and fight and defend their future!?
Can’t we think?
How long will the political class divide and rule us?
Can’t we see what they are doing?
PDP = APC = Political class
They are the same people. They cross from one to the other for their selfish reasons while we fight and abuse one another on social media they are looting us dry!
What is wrong with the Nigerian youth?
In 1989 the chinese youths and studenst went on hunger strike and they where without food for days demanding policy changes that will make their lives better - and today China is a first world country and the biggest beneficiary are the youths
What is wrong with us!?
Next month, November the electricity charges will be hiked by 40% and we are online throwing tantrums at one another
While South African youths are out protest the proposed school fees hike as I speak!
Is it a wonder that they are making progress and moving towards being a first world
what is wrong with the NIgerian Youth?
Cc Lalastica Pls let people read this
That is eeh!! Sometimes I wonder. Please I will love to know the way forward. Am ready to go extra length to see that the youths of this blessed country have a say.
engrkenny: I have been shying away from posting a reply on here since the topic surfaced earlier today, having somewhat found myself at this same crossroad since passing out of nysc two months ago, I didn't feel worthy to claim to have answers to the concerns raised by those two brothers. Albeit, mine tends to be a matter of ambivalence at the moment, wouldn't want to talk about myself here tho.
My two pence... True life story...
Last two days, I found myself inside a klimanjaro fast food, after a hot and usually exhaustive aptitude test somewhere in the southern part of the country, trying to cool off. Somewhere on the south wall of the restaurant had a board hanging, with a caption "OUR STORY" a short write up about how the klimanjaro most of us used to impress babes those days back in school was a brainchild of a few young Nigerians and bla bla, I bent down and asked myself, so why spend close to 5k on transport and almost sustained a hip dislocation on terrible roads just to sit for another frustration in the guise of a recruitment test? Coincidentally just this same week a cousin of mine quit her IT job at a local fast food place, her reason....stress, guess what, she works in the account section, on probing further she revealed this people make a subtle 900k a day, and it's just one of their many outlets, I smiled and told her she wouldn't understand, she's still in school and would definitely get cash for all her needs including hairdo by September.
Summary of my long story.......I have decided, no more job tests, no more unsolicited cv submissions, and don't mistake me, I don't despise salary jobs, I'll gladly accept to grow working for someone else, but am no longer going to beg for it. I join my voice to that of many young and knowledgeable young people out there to ask......hw can with all my numeracy, all my computer skills, all my analytical skills, good command of English, I am to be put through scorn in the name of recruitment and I have to be grateful if I get one at last?
I have decided to explore my inner self, does it mean with all I know I can't solve any of the problems I join every other person to complain about everyday? There must be something I can do to make some cash and invest same into acquiring some real hands on technical skills, which has always been my passion, while relying totally on God, the giver of all things.
Any like minded youngsters should start developing same mentality too, no matter how difficult that seems. God bless us all.
