why don't you just bell the cat, you know the cat already.

This cat is a big one, I can't do it alone.

We need to pull together.

know that you must have had some clichés like

"Nigerian graduates are unemployable"
"In life you need to work smart and not hard"
"Your network is your networth"
"You should have made at least a 2.1"
"Get hand skills"

To mention but a few.

In extreme cases, people have told you that you are not employed because you are in a local church, you don't meet the high and mighty, you don't fast and pray well enough. To mention but few.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here to tell you that's all wrong. It's crap, BS and it's a narrative formed to keep you from looking at the main pic and asking the right questions.

You may or may not have heard about the recent discovery of how Fmr Governor of Abia state: Gov. Theodore Orji with his sons plundered Abia for 8 years. You may or may not have heard about the recovered loot about to the repatriated back to Nigeria from the famous Abacha loot running into close to $4 billion.

I promise not to make this post lengthy so, I will go to the salient point.

You are jobless because your Government had, has decided to keep you there. With my little knowledge of the circular flow of income, if you understand it, you would agree with me that the Government is the first on that diagram. The Government is the recognised authority to collect income/revenue and distribute it to other channels in that flow chart. When there is a disruption, a variable suffers for it. That variable is you and I. The civil servants, the public servants, the employees, the biz owners. That variable is all of us like kids looking up to our elder one to send down our share of the cake.

What the Orjis did for 8 years was deliberate and systematic to keep over 3 million people in different classes of poverty. Some where unemployed, some where under employed, some where under paid and some where never paid. 3 persons, deciding the economic fate of a whole state.

That's just 1 state in 36. Abacha was 1 president in 10. What about the others? Nigeria is being looted daily, every minute, every second. Someone has to pay for it, unfortunately, it's you and I.

The experience is Lagos, Abuja and Ph is relatively different because of certain factors but not immune to this disruption or disease. That's why everyone from everywhere flock in these places especially Lagos. Maybe FDI have helped but the challenge is still there. Lagos should be paying 50k as minimum wage.

You have a degree, probably a masters yet, no job or you are under employed. You decide to go into a biz, yet, no patronise. You can't rise above ylthe economic situation of a plays long as you are in that circle (the circular flow of income)

What do some do? They relocate, get out and start making a living in countries that work. So they send remittances and by pass the Government. Some get foreign aid through their NGOs. But you buy goods here, you pay for services here. When these monies get to the Government, instead of that flow to continue, they withhold it or send it down in trickles. So you are broke again, your biz is not moving anymore, you ask those outside for more funds, they are surprised and tired and the circle continues.

Having a Biz won't completely solve it. Less than 1 million people have pushed over a 100million people to different form and classes of poverty.

Going for masters and adding more qualifications won't solve it. Best is you will be under paid.

You are not employed because those responsible for distributing income have cornered it.

They have refused to build hospitals and equip them thus, the doctor can't find any job. They have refused to award road contracts, thus, the engineers can't find work. They have refused to pay the civil servants their salaries thus, the market and biz persons can't sell their products and services.

It's a circle and one side is enjoying the benefits alone in the form of embezzlement.

Two options, leave this country or fight to get it back.

To those who have miraculously manage to escape the unemployment, under employment, under payment, low wages and no wages/salaries. I emphatically say that you miraculously managed to escape, what about your kids, your grand kids? What future do they have?

It's a rat race, and you have been the lucky rat. The hammer can fall at anytime as long as those monsters continue to short change us.

Nigeria is a country with abundant resources, yet, it's people are in lack.

Who will bell the cat?

Tell him to watch Breaking Bad. He won't smoke Crystal Meth ever again......













....... Unless he wants to end up like Mr White.

@lalasticala

I don't like the movie, maybe I don't like the actor but congratulations to Mr Phoneix.

That was a deep speech.

Alooone:
Your mum advised you with the wisdom of elders but you didn't listen.... 70% of what you are facing now is because you are living alone...this is just the beginning. Is when you now want to get married you will know how far

I wanted to say this but decided to keep quiet.

By staying alone, she has opened the Pandora's box.

I hope she she has the strength to take what comes with it.

It's a major flaw in "man" that he must do what he thinks people want not what he knows it's good for him.

The day you stop giving a damn what people think and do what it's right in the sight of God and man, that day you become free.

After all, the law was made for man not man for the law.

Who was the dude that told us our tfare would be 20k? Forgot his moniker.

This guy?

But he was technically incorrect.

Shame on all Lagos Joggers, Joggees and Joggists!!
Na only God go save una for my hand if I ever see una for third mainland bridge jogging when driving. I go jam una enter water.. ndi iberibe!!

Una allow a foreigner to come collect our $50,000, Lazy youths!!

Be careful what you wish for, you just never know. Words are powerful.

Look at how you young men are toying with your destines with reckless sex..

What happened about you seeing visions and dreaming dreams. Everything doesn't lie under the skirt of a lady.

Seek things above. Stop having irresponsible sex.

I have watched a lot of Series.

While watching 90% of these series I could easily predict the plot/storyline especially after their first season.

Breaking Bad and perhaps Prison Break are the only 2 series that each episode of each season kept throwing me off balance.

For Breaking Bad, till the final episode, I couldn't foretell sh*t. Infact the final episode was the one that threw me off balance the most, didn't see that finale coming. Mr White just took it to a whole different level.

GOT tried to pull off same stunt with the final episode/season but it didn't generate that applause they sought.

Modified:

If you are a big fan of Mr Bryan Cranston aka Mr White and you would love to see him in something away from drugs and co you can check out "why him".

It's a lovely movie

BetWinners:
@Emboldened Baba,whomever you are having issues with on this thread,I wish you goodluck in the ensuing battle

Lol. I'm a peace maker, I detest battles.

BetWinners:
As a fan of breaking bad myself I will state this fact again, BREAKING BAD IS INCREDIBLY OVER RATED & OVERHYPED
The fact that I like breaking bad does not mean I can't crticise it's flaws & it has many
If breaking bad was as good as everyone is now proclaiming it to be,it would have been a hit as soon as it appeared on tv in its very first season in 2008 but the show started becoming popular with the advent of the part 2 of its 5th & final season in 2013.That was when everyone started getting on the best show ever bandwagon.
You all should give it a break already

Despite being a big fan of the show I am sensible enough to know that everyone has a right to own opinion and this is yours.

There's actually no need to call you names, I can debate respectfully unlike one animal on his thread that thinks anyone who has a contray view is "mad" like the people in his family.

I'm not going to quote you or mention your name but if you think me having a different opinion about a series neither you or your mentally insane family produced is absurd, then you are the MAD one here.

Rubbish!!

I have 3 friends who are also APL hopefuls outside Nairaland, infact, the only time they remember anything NNPC is when I mention it or give them latest info from this thread.

They have all forgotten about this recruitment.

Now, the funny/strange thing about life is that, their names may appear on the list when eventually released, while me that wakes up with the thoughts and high BP of APL gets nothing.

On this one I completely agree.

number5

Thanks for the mention. The pleasure is all mine and the respect is mutual.

Regards.

Another fake story by a mod

I just read d story comot face. Very fake.

Human beings want many things, I'm not surprised by the comments here.

My advice: Don't take everything you read here too serious. If you know how the human brain works then you would know that a lady that wants an older man may actually marry a younger man.

There are needs, there are wants, there is demand and there is effective demand.

Only the wise will understand this.

Why is that it's mostly females who seek to rent apartments at Lekki, Ajah and environs?

Even guys I know that work there and make big bucks don't want to settle there.

Hmmmmm. One day, person go wake up realize say, Lekki is just a piece of land surrounded by water.

Nothing more.

Really? What's creepy or scary in Get out. Maybe another get out.

The same one, I guess I'm not in scary movies like that. I was just tensed throughout the movie.

XANDERBOY85:
This US govt don’t know the type of bigoted and crafty crooks they’re dealing with! It’s very easy to claim the money has been sunk into those three projects and they’ll go behind their backs and use it for something else....or pump most of it into one or two regions while giving a pittance to the third!

Anytime they want to talk of projects in the south-east, it’s always second Niger bridge...second Niger bridge! That’s their ‘get-out-of-jail’ card when asked what they’re doing in the south-east! Very easy to claim billions upon billions is being spent on this bridge...money from SWF...money from Abacha loot....money GEJ admin’ paid as gov’t counterpart funds....all into second Niger bridge that will be tolled by Julius Berger!

God bless you brother. You see the deceit and highly divisive and tribalistic government of APC.

A bridge and road which isn't up to 10km.

Wicked souls (spits!!)

On daily basis, Nigerians consume lots of water and soft drinks in PET plastic bottles which are thrown away to litter our environment. Plastic wastes are increasing day by day and our environment is not spared from pollution. These plastic wastes being thrown away are not really waste as we termed them but can be effectively recycled into useful various industrial materials. Hence, with adequate knowledge and recent technology, these non-degradable materials can be recycled into high strength bricks or interlocking stones that possess thermal and sound insulation properties and reduce the overall cost of construction.

In the forth coming training, we will be discussing recycling processes and conversion stages. The acceptable outcome of recycled wastes such flakes, pellets, etc. A detailed process of converting waste plastics to interlocking stones and blocks will be unveiled including machine sourcing and sources of raw materials.

Will love to be one of the facilitator if don't mind. I have an extensive experience in Nylon and Plastics Recycling, extrusion and moulding.

Feel free to send me a mail on camillus.mba@gmail.com

This film is overrated jòó! I regret wasting my time, I had to stop at Season 2. Go watch "SEAL TEAM" you will never regret it.

Thank God you said it. If I did, one guy here would have come for my neck

I saw the series 3 years ago upto the beginning of season 2. As boring as my environment was then, I stopped watching it.

See eh, if anyone wants to watch a good series, start from behind 2014, the series being made now are just quantity.

To tell you how good series were back then, I followed Desperate Housewives so keenly even though I wasn't a big fan for that genre of motion picture.

"I am Captain bla bla bla......... The United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists bla bla bla"

Rubbish!!

U guys are not ok at all.

Just saw the movie "Get Out"

It's so creepy and scary.

murmee:
That's the whole idea. Lagos is too congested as it is now!

Oga, I will be back soon

Except, I end up making really good cash where I'm going.
