You missed the point, he doesn't need his first class to create a small scale job, in fact,
he does not need a degree.
While I agree that he needs to move on, it will be more difficult for him
since he was apparently more committed to his studies and has a high expectation of life.
Nothing is more painful than a shattered dream.
I just hope he has someone to tell him the basic truth.

Lastly, it is time for our society to change the mentality of "deserving a job after school" and
we should start encouraging more entrepreneurs, we don't need more graduates , we need
more skilled people because getting a degree for the purpose of securing a job is more of a
gamble these days.

well said!

I Interviewed 3 Pure Water Sellers In Port harcourt / Aba Expressway, And According To Them: Sometimes, It Takes About 6 Hours To Sell 20 Sachets Of Water Which Amounts To A Total Of N200 (1Dollar). From The N200, The Profit Is Only About N40 As The Pure. Water Sellers Have To Pay The Wholesalers Their Money Back As Well As Cover The Price For Ice Block Which Was Used To Cool The Water. The Long And Short Of It Is That Some Of Them Make Only N40 In 6 Hours Of Hustling Under The Hot Sun, Risking Their Lives On Major Express Roads And Always At The Mercy Of The Environmental Protection Board Who Whip
Them With Cane When Caught; Burst Their Water Sachets To The Ground And Fine Them N5,000. As If That Isn't Bad Enough, When Passengers And Drivers Reach The Traffic Stops, They Prefer To Dash N100, N200 Or Even N500 To Beggars And Fake Sufferers Who Sometimes Make About N1,500 A Day Doing Nothing But Begging, Leaving Them Richer, Luckier And Safer Than The Pure Water Sellers Who Are Young Entrepreneurs Serving The Larger Community With Their Trade, And Trying To
Make Ends Meet. So When Next You Are At A Traffic Stop, Please:
1. Dash The Pure Water Seller Instead

2. Buy Pure Water To Patronise Them And If The Change Is (N10, Or Even N20, You Can Leave It With Them)

3. Say Something Nice To Them. Greet Them, Encourage Them.

4. Slow Down, Don't Knock Them Down.

5. Even If You Wont Buy The Pure Water, If They Ask You To Buy, Rather Than Ignoring Them And Facing Front As If They Are Not Humans, You Can Look At Them, Smile And
Say "Thank You"

I have always aligned myself with the agitation of the Ibos to secede from Nigeria, and with the SS for 100% resource control and a very weak ventral government. This has been my political standpoint since I was 17. Now in my mid 30's my opinion on issues of this nature is changing and becoming more passive as I see spineless and almost pacifist utterances of these so called governor's. From these regions against the betterment of their own people. Okowa, Enugu state governor, okorocha et al. A case study is the herdsman issue, although the larger % of governors in the sw are apc controlled, there was a unanimity in their call out against land for grazing. The call out against these menace informally spearheaded by fayose was generally lauded by people in the region though a larger percentage were not of the same political inclination.I thought to myself finally a road map to end these scourge as proposed by the Ekiti state governor will be implemented or at least adopted in part by the governors in his party, but like the ostrich that they are, they all burried their heads in the sand. Such a shame. The se and ss should take their destiny into their own hands and elect people who are genuinely after their welfare and who would agitate or champion their cause. Kudos governor Fayose really respect ur opinions and drive most of the time.
