Useless vacancies

Useless how?

GidiWoodsMan:
They could've insisted they wanted a 'graduate' for employment as chauffeur, like the other company looking for a despatch rider earlier.

You are on point. That dispatch driver stuff really got me disappointed.

Most especially the Tuesday healing service. Free body massage.

I remembered when I was still little we do attend his adoration all the way from Lagos to ifo. His is very funny and always ready to his your problems. I can't forget the sweet he always gave me when I was opportune to see him in his office. You always be in my heart with all the advice you gave to me. REST IN PEACE your favourite song.

ALL OF MY LIFE I WILL PRAISE THE LIVING GOD MY HEART FEEL WITH JOY I WILL PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

That was always the ending hymn for the mass.

[color=#1980BC] I rather live in a world policed by a nuclear armed democracy than be policed by a regime filled with Islamic fanatics....Better still, I like to live in a world policed by those who have used weapons of mass destuctions to save the free world than those who would like to use these weapons to enslave others,go figure. [/color]

Please this has nothing to do with islam stop been short sighted. Is Saudi not Islamic state are they not in good terms with America?. Are China Russia India Islam please don't put this on religion. I am a full Christian, Catholic to be specific. But I don't support what USA is doing. When something is wrong you condemn it. You aren't saving the world by blackmailing and take advantage of countries that don't want to be friend with you or don't support you.
Some one asked a question who have used nuclear weapon before Iran or USA?

ichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Yeah...But the drone was minding its own business and you decide to shoot it down far from your air space...If Iran was so strong why didn't it attack American warships operating very close to its waters? its like you picking a fight with your opponent's dog instead of going face to face with your opponent[/color]

Minding it's business in there airspace. Why are you people covered with hypocrisy like this but if it was Iran that did the same you come here criticising them

Devgod:
fear of wetin.. all these small boys on nairaland, US with their eyes closed will combat and cripple Iran in a conventional war in just 48hours

Please spare me those story, you are the one talking like a kid. Cripple iran in 48 hours, even as Nigeria is in doom and weak our military are right now they can't cripple Nigeria in 48 hours.

Now US are violating there law looking for trouble you won't say anything because they are God. But if Iran had done the same you come out hear ranting. Us are just too troublesome and I bet you there cup is already getting filled, I guess they know that's why they are taking caution on every step they take.

Everytime they claim victim use the media to dent the countries image. There noise is really getting irritating now.
What did trump do about the killing in Turkey at the Saudi consulate, how many times did American media air the news, the never painted Saudi bad because of the 100 billion trade deal, even with evidence the American did nothing, all the say is UN this UN that.
But you accused Iran of attacking a ship without evidence, Iran claim the where not the one yet you spread false news about them looking for the little chance to go to war with them.
To me US is nothing any more than an empty can making noise they know this reign is getting to an end they just want to be relevant, they are really scared of China, Russia even Iran those countries don't make noise like them this is 21 century countries have wisen up. Us should just trade carefully because the will lose big time.
You are with dispute with China, India, Iran, Mexico and Russia. Better face your country before melt down hit you people again.

nairalee:
I have never understood why Nigerians like bringing age to any matter.

Whenever you have issue with any dull Nigerian and they run out of something reasonable to say they'll start saying "I no be your mate" Like wtf.

And some feel entitled to many privileges like collecting daily greeting from the entire neighborhood.

Who has age ever helped? Them dey use am collect money for bank?

They should go and ask Methuselah what he did wit all his age. If Methuselah were these Nigerians I'm sure he'll declare himself king of kings

You are getting it wrong it's not about Nigerian bringing age matter. That lady was wrong and arrogant by sitting in some one else sit. It's our tradition to respect elders that the white don't greet doesn't make you to copy them and throw your tradition away. They earn the greeting because they are your elders it's sign of respect it's how culture . The same way we have arrogant youth will all so have arrogant elders. White don't see anything in age differences or greeting its there culture it is not our culture. So please don't use this medium to look down on them.

What is yhe minimum wage in your country? How much does the average graduate get paid? Even a law graduate is collecting 40k as pay. Let us not pretend there aren't Nigerian graduates that go abroad and do what Nigerians consider menial jobs like cleaning, taxi driving, babysitting, and other such things, so, let us not make blanket statements.

I know a Nigerian graduate in USA who has over ten years working experience in Nigeria, but works as a concierge in the US. When you want to say graduate, what are you talking about? You think someone having a BSc automatically makes them worthy of a white-collar job? Is it not your BSc holders that cannot construct basic sentences? BSc pass BSc, so, when you want to mention your friend, please, add things like hos course of study and skillset, because International jobs are easier to get for graduates of sciences and IT than a graduate of Arts and Humanities

Is this why you think it's normal to employ graduates as dispatch drivers. You said all this and still you didn't get the point I'm driving at.

You said "Nigerian graduates that go abroad and do what Nigerians consider menial jobs like cleaning, taxi driving, babysitting." all this jobs you mentioned, over there do they require higher institutional certificates? In America will graduates be requested to apply for a dispatch driver?

I understand things are hard but don't see it as normal, why is it every day Nigeria keeps losing her integrity, why should our graduate be taking serious internationally when in our own country graduate is been offered to apply as a dispatch drivers. We have to set our standard right from the educational root. If not I don't see reason why we waste money send our kids to universities and polytechnic only to be subjected to dispatch driver the western world don't recognise it so tell me what's the point been a graduate.
Graduate I know are of different categories yes I know even at that how many first class are employed how many are recognised internationally with Nigerian university certificates how many have reasonable jobs here in Nigeria. So yes I know there are graduates that went to school to catch fun.but do you mean the over 2 to 3million youth unemployed are dumbs.

It is RIDICULOUS it is appalling bsc holder to be subjected to dispatch driver. Even if it's 1milion a month.

GidiWoodsMan:
B.Sc is not a guarantee of responsibility. This advert only highlights our misplaced priorities as Nigerians and the never-ending waste of our human resources.

Why spend billions of naira running universities when the end-products will end up doing jobs that ssce holders can do just as well?

Thank you, 3 bottles of chilled beer for you

safarigirl:
you understand

Those complaining and thinking a BSc holder is too big for this job are ridiculous. If BSc holders work as sales persons at malls, then how are they too big for this job? Is it because of the mode of transportation? If they needed a driver, would the reaction be different?

The clientele is obviously high-society, so, even the caliber of people they will be interacting with and delivering to are not just youe average Nigerians. Some BSc holders won't even be good enough for this job, because their general countenance and mannerisms will be inadequate.

You country made you see it as a normal thing. It is RIDICULOUS. We just don't have option that's why we take anything thrown at us.
I remembered one certain time a nairalander wrote how he got a contract job from international firm. The company said they would pay 30k for the job but in there country there employee get paid 5 times of what they want to pay him. Why is that so because they know unemployment rate is high so they want to take advantage of that . He declined the offer. Please don't allow things happening in this country make you change mindset that is normal.

frenzyduchess:
It was never my intention to imply that,just looking at it from the point of the company, whether people like to admit it or not,good communication skill and customer feed back is important in this line of job. I am sure the company has big clients and are looking for employees that will match with the image of the company and can be easily trained to improve their brand.

If not that I dont know how to drive ,I for even apply sef.

My dear there are many people out there without Bsc and Hnd and they communicate well some are even well presented than some graduate, this job are supposed to be for them if they can't get this kind of jobs which one will they apply for. It's because of lack of jobs that is why most employers don't value or know what is been a graduate. Graduates went to school to help think of knew ideas and put that ideas together to solve problems not to be a dispatch driver.

Note.
Nothing is wrong if a graduate wants the job but for them to set that standard is to show the level of unemployment. In the next few years you hear bring masters degree for dispatch driver then, maybe you understand how the country has falling short of her glory

What's the hullabaloo about?
N150-N200K, how many graduates earn that in this country?

This job obviously goes beyond pick and drop, the employer obviously needs staff who can do beyond that! It will probably involve effective communication and intelligent decision making, analysis, tech savvy, etc.

The comments on here it's an indication that most folks (both the educators and the educated) still have their heads stuck far deep in the old ways of how the world works.

Businesses now run online, and smart delivery/sales guys are the fulcrum. Get in with the program!

BTW, how are they supposed to deliver on time in a place like Lagos if not on a motorcycle/bicycle.

Some graduate folks criticizing this offer earn less than a 100K a month with a wife/kids to feed doing some redundant job with no job security -- some far less than that! While these dispatch guys will go on to learn the trade and start something of their own in few years from now.

The point is not all about the money. If they employ graduates as dispatch drivers please wish job will the secondary school, Nd, people that didn't go to university do. All we are saying is Nigeria is messed up. In other countries this job is not for graduates they are for people that just have basic education to read and write. That doesn't mean if you are graduate that you can't apply, you can at your will. But to specify the job to graduate standard men this country is doomed . Very soon even house help will be required to bring bsc.
