Stop patronising me; Otobo was on online last night telling the whole story all over....your idiotic pastor has been shagging all the Oloshos - Iyabo Ojo, Chioma, Daniella Okeke etc The mad man is being exposed daily with his crazy wife as an accomplice.

Those videos are fake. Anybody can cook up a story just to trend on social media. Most post on social media are lies

LilMissFavvy:
This one has lost all respect in the eyes of people due to past life and scandals. He's just lucky enough to have members who still believe in him and listen to him.

He doesn't need your respect

AKWATGOLD1:
Nigeria is gradually moving out of CERTIFICATE country.

You are right

matm:
If you married because of what people will say and not because you wanted to marry, and u haven't built ur own house, up till now thereby bringing kids into the world to face untold suffering with hopeless future, then u need a serious deliverance.
For it is better not to marry,than to bring kids into the world without equipping them to survive from cycle of poverty .

Coco cola bought limca. They still produce it

iramure:
There are a lot of religious teaching that are wrong. My advice is just apply common sense in what you feel is right and live to bear the consequences of your action.
Today, a lot of marriages have been destroyed by some teaching they get from religious houses. To me, co-habiting is not s big deal. I don't care what any pastor views it as.

Even our culture frown at cohabiting talk more of religious beliefs

OBALOLA55:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TESTING

Check whether your bride's fertility via sex, It is wrong though

The only thing which is reasonable is their theme, changing from everywhere you go to Yhello ,since they didn't cover everywhere in Nigeria.

Some university are yet to join

kingjiss:
This is how far black people stupidly can go

Blacks like you

Shame on you

Shame you for believing in lies from those lazy journalist

Tumbulum:
oga shut up. My friend a first class engineering graduate who couldn't get job because he didn't have connection to get a lecturing job in the government owned university acced the interview in landmark university ( another school owned by winners) and today he is lecturing in the school and is doing well for himself. Oyedepo is a visionary and the lord will continue to bless him for all the things he has done. You may call it tithe( no problem) but remember you are paying tax to your government and they can't even provide ordinary good road nor security yet you hail the governors and praise them doing nothing.

You friend passed through school not school passing through him. He told half truth

IAMLIT:
Between ₦100 000 or Canada, I go choose ₦100 000, comrade. We gats finish trans-generational unfinished business.
But shout-out to those in diaspora though. Keep laying down good foundations. No offense meant.

By the you experience life threatening situation, you will retract this statement. Most of my friends that encouraged to stay in Nigeria are thinking of leaving. They all have retract their statement of a better Nigeria.

God1000:
I fully understand the despair and all the challenges at home which is largely responsible for this ugly situation.

But why going through so much just to cross to another country, they will gather a lot of money, movement from one African country to another before embarking on the dangerous journey of uncertainty.

They will finally end up sleeping on the streets of European countries after getting there, some of them hawk and sweep to make ends meet, but back at home they won't do those things because of pride.

Why going to another country to become a third class citizen?

There's this wrong notion that as a graduate you must work inside one fine office with suit and tie, live a lavish lifestyle and try to impress men and women.
Nollywood movies and Nigerian politicians encourage this a lot.

We worship people that return from abroad, even if they do dirty jobs like drugs, all our people want to see when you return is beautiful car and house and they will worship you automatically.

Are Nigerians outside even enjoying? Because some bad ones have soiled our reputation badly, we don't have good image anywhere in the world, even within Africa, nobody trusts a Nigerian anymore, so why going through so much just to become an object of ridicule out there? They end up doing those menial jobs they won't do at home.

We look down on people that make legitimate ends meet in Nigeria through menial jobs but worship and glorify Yahoo boys and corrupt politicians! Something is indeed wrong with us.

No society can make headways with this kind of mindset and mentality our people have.

The bolded text is too generalistic. This statement simple implies all Nigerians look down on menial jobs which is totally false. You concluded by saying that Nigerians worship yahoo boys and corrupt politicians. That is another lie from the pit of hell. In one of your paragraphs, you said Nollywood contributed to the lavish lifestyle of some selected Nigerians, this is not true. There is no empirical evidence to prove this for now, it is mere speculation borne by perceived perception of certain behavioural traits. There are verifiable studies as to why most Nigerians travel out of the country. One was conducted by a researcher who was interviewed by channels TV. In his report, he gave a detailed reasons there is high migration.

CUMIN:
He would have learnt a lesson that has never been taught in school from that.

You have to strategically mingle with people you like and dislike

There is nothing special about mingling

UzomaFC:
I like staying alone oooooooooooo, at least it has saved me so many troubles.
My wife at times will be talking and I will be looking at her, well she knows me very wella.
We are 12years this year and we don't go out.

This year marked my 19yrs at my work place.
these are my stats:
Company Party: 2
Company Bar: 2
Weddings: 0
Burial: 1
Birthday party: 1
Others: 0

Even were I work, they know me that Igwe does not go out. but funny enough when they needed someone to represent them,
they will call me.
My own is Work/Church and nothing.
I don't even like staying in crowd talk more of inviting anyone, Nna men the lower or fewer the better for me.
Low headache, low troubles to attend to, infact low everything.
infact if I have my way, I will just go inside the forest and build and live there.

You did well. You just saved alot of cost

MufasaLion:
Lol

Don't be disturbed by that. Mingling is good but it should be limited. I like being private but I still got some real ones that would pull up for me if I wanna organize something. Although, I don't even like parties, so there's no need for their gathering.

I can go months without contacting people. Even my social media accounts are as silent as a grave yard. I'm sure many people don't even know my whereabouts except people in my neighborhood here and I ain't got no friends among them. Crazy!

I share similar thought with you.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
my father is not a slave and empty head like your father

Your father does not know if you exist. He regretted even bringing to this world

kingjiss:
Mumu thousands of people

Can you name five persons he has empowered?

Ignorant fellow who is too lazy to see things but rely on half baked journalist to feed him sugar-coated news Go to Canan land instead of relying on half baked journalism

Haters can hung transformer since many are having heartache

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
No matter how you sugar-coat it, Oyedepo is till remain thief.

But he is better than your father.

kingjiss:
It belongs to one of nigeria's greedy pastor

The greedy pastor is far better than you. He used his greediness to empower thousands of persons.

boladale123:
Is write-up is very correct.
I had interviewed many unemployable graduates,and they are characterized with all the writer mentioned.
No intuition
No native intelligence
Lack of economic emotions
Addictive to backward social interest and so on.
Most people don't know how a capitalistic system works,hence they are quick in mentioning the western world.

Who will pay a lazy ass grad in Canada?
Who will employ somebody that can't think on their toes?

Companies spend on you because they know and see the value you possess.

Oyinbo Sabi that you are lazy ,so they have you Cam.
If you don't want to be poor even in the so called "self employment" ,you better change your game.

How many graduate did you study to draw conclusion?
How states did you study?
What was the population of study?

N2B2:
An interesting write-up, @mollie2.

It presents a few hard-hitting questions.

Unfortunately, it also reads like a tirade typical of the average low-paying Nigerian employer with a god complex.

The rant starts from your title: "Are Nigerian graduates employable?"

Fresh graduates have little to no experience and will typically seek entry-level jobs to gain experience.



Are these hiring managers looking to fill vacant entry level positions? Because there's no shortage of young graduates out there searching for their first jobs.

Let's look at some of your points.



Yes, a can-do attitude is a mindset valued in the workplace.

However, you mention nothing about can-do attitudes here.

Instead, because you had one bad experience, you jeer at the unemployed who lament Nigeria's failed employment systems.



That's what the job requirements section of your job posting is for. No research needed.



What interviewers think of such candidates is irrelevant.

How is wanting to go to church on weekdays religious fanaticism?

You seem incensed that applicants want to maintain lives outside their workplace.

The title of this point should have been: "A lack of workplace fanaticism."



A lie cleverly intended to mask the ridiculousness of the next statement you make.

See next quote:



I said it - a typical low-paying employer, seeking "rockstar" talents to pay peanuts to.

For those reading, never let anyone convince you that you aren't worth reasonable pay, even if you have little to no experience.

Employers don't only pay for your skill; they pay for your time and effort, too.



It is called slave labor, indicative of the terrible workplace you run.

Conclusion:

This rant-like write-up is just a demand for employee subservience.

Unpaid internships, peanut-paying yet high-demanding jobs... all unreasonable demands of fresh graduates.

And unreasonable demands breed hostile workplaces.

Try again.

This time, try to put yourself in the shoes of the unemployed when you write.

God bless you for this

You compare a country that has the influence of the white? You didn't even compare Nigeria with Rwanda or Kenya, na country wen Oyibo pipo dey control?

SultanOfPuna:
Nollywood is not the problem

The main issue here is NEPA

When you watch nollywood ritual boys movies.
They show 4 stages
1. The initiation
2. The enjoyment flexing stage
3. The Everything starts crashing stage
4. The unhappy ending (Death or madness)

in all these movies, directors make sure to show the rise and unfortunate end of those ritual boys
If you are watching film and Nepa will not allow us to see the unfourtnare end of this movie. They just take light during the enjoyment phase of movie. Leaving this boys with the idea that ritual is enjoyment.

If NEPA can give us light 24/7 then youths will be able to watch the movies till the end and see the unhappy ending that befalls anyone that want to venture into rituals

Can I copy this?.

iswallker:
Nollywood is to blame

You didn't become Rambo or an armed robber or soldier because the movies don't portray those characters as people enjoying life to the fullest and having deep pockets whereas Nollywood does portray rituakists as successful people

Also the politicians themsekves are to blame because politics makes you suddenly wealthy and the youths are watching - they themselves need to remove the huge monies paid to them and show us example that one needs to work hard and wealth doesn't show up suddenly

That is not true. At the end of the movie, the ritual either dies or looses his wealth. Movies like billionaire club is perfect example
