As I much as I advocate for skills acquisition, I believe the major impediment that most graduates with vision are facing is lack of funds and sponsorship. It requires bulk money to acquire those IT skills and most graduates can't afford it and also to finance some business ideas.

This is not a matter of finance to learn a skill here or capital. Use your Data and learn that skill, nobody is asking you to pay a dime in learning YouTube skills

Your ideas are good except where you talked about soft skills. Nigeria is still a developing country and production level is still low hence we need hard skills if you get what I mean. We still import furniture toothbrushes even toothpicks. Every one has generator yet we can't even manufacture I pass my neighbour. It's in advance countries where service sector is largest that they need more soft skill. Apart from metropolitan lagos where else do you need it?

Cool. But soft skills is the internet where you need no capital to start. All what you mentioned requires capital to kick start it. In fact With the soft skills you work with it, make reasonable sum and invest in those hard skills you pointed. That's the brain.

I am of the opinion that anyone who is not earning up to N200,000 in Nigeria is below the poverty line. I mean how could anyone survive with less especially you have kids to feed and send to school?

Another thing Nigerian youths must learn is work ethic. I'm an employer of labour and I tell you some youths can be too annoying, they just work for the sake of working and yet possess a high sense of entitlement without improving thing better than they met them. When you confront them and scold them, they'll tell you 'no be my papa business'. How do you expect an employer to treat you well if you don't care about his business? You don't care but you want to get paid from a business your lackadaisical attitude is helping to destroy?

A change of attitude is needed. Every employed youth should see his job as a training ground or internship where he can acquire the skills to set up his/her own venture. If they don't immerse themselves in their jobs they'll most likely fail when they set up their own. Work ethic is a virtue that grows over time like a habit. You don't learn it in a day.

Seriously, we have a long way to go no be small as

Anyone selling upwork review.. Abeg pm me

Lalasticlala do the needful. This is front page worthy. Save our graduate and potential ones from this menace.

Finstar:
Tell me you're joking.. While an undergraduate like me is earning 6 figures monthly doing something I love.. The internet is my home..

Bro no joke here. This is real.. Bro thank God for your life for giving you such wisdom early enough.

selfwife:
help me preach the word to them o.Nigeria is no longer by grade but by skills

Seriously is not funny for graduates. I saw a friend earning 13k and the other 16k. For a whole month..I was pained to the bone marrow.

I mean these guys are university graduate of the 21st century.

Pathetic I say.

Nice one

It is very pathetic to me each time I see different jobs seekers moving in helter-skelter for interview invites that only needs few person to employ. These job seekers spend thousands daily on Transportation in a state like Lagos where there is hike in transport fares. The state of the nation is not helping us rather, this further buttress why "Job Seekers" needs to put their destiny in their hands. Recently, I went to meet a former colleague of mine at Workforce office, the population of job seekers trooping in and out was a hit back to back. This sets of graduates cut across all the disciplines and grades like 1.1, 2.1,2.2 and what not. I wept inside of me,and asked myself; Is this the true purpose of our acquired education? My answer is CAPITAL NO!
Dear Nigerian Graduates,
This is the time to wake up from your slumber. Awaking the spirit of I can do in you. Take your destiny into your hands. Face your worst fear and conquer it for good. We are not to attend Universities, paid fees and be a slave of jobs with our education. I thought they say education is LIGHT.
We have Army of unemployed graduates littering everywhere now. This is no joke. In fact is getting more higher daily with new sets of people joining the already saturated market and THE Universities keeps admitting. Gosh! I feel like dropping right now.
The only solution to this problem bedeviling us as job seekers is to look inwards and be REALISTIC about our life. We are in the IT era where you can learn so much skills and be comfortable with that SKILLS for life. I mean a skill that can generate you 6 figures. You heard me right. 6 freaking figures!!
Make a research with your internet, go to YouTube and learn a hot skills by your research . How can a graduate be driving OKADA in this Internet age WHERE soft skills rules the world.
Don't die in servitude all in the name of I'm a BSc holder and be paid pockets sized sum as salary . The truth is jobs are scarce now! Take your destiny and build it to your taste.
The ball is in your court today. Take Charge!

Oops!
I'm here to make common sense.

kehinde1588:
I can tell u categorically that majority of the westerners have no hatred for the Easterner. The little ones that hate do that for political reasons and the hatred is unnatural. And I also know that the igbos hate no Westerner too but the kind of comments I see online that the Easterners make about other tribe is detrimental to the harmony of this Nation

Sharap. Igbos hate westerners no be here. We hate yoruba people. Who na too dey two faced, rowdy and and dirty

amakoro:

What did you put for?

Let be optimistic while preparing for the worst too. Life itself has no assurance. If you get it, you thank your star... If you don't, you look forward to the next. Life is short

mrstanley1:
they were all sent same acknowledgment mail.

So we that haven't gotten reject mail. We should probably be expecting the invitation soon.

Hope they are not trying to distinguish people from the other ones because I was sent an email 2weeks ago about the application acknowledgement.

Why haven't I see anything.. Not even so called regret mail

mrstanley1:
Couple of friends, just received a reject mail. No I haven't

Reject mail.. Which position did they applied for? I haven't seen anything here

mrstanley1:
