Hi Nairaland,

Some of our posts have been deleted. We would like to know if this was deliberate or just some technical issues?

Thank you

This is exactly what we believe at Graduatepro about tackling unemployment in Africa, that every successful professional, leader and change maker must come together to reverse the scourge of unemployment on the continent.

"We must show our young people that they can stay here and find meaningful work.” There are jobs; the problem remains a wide gap between available jobs and the skills needed to execute them and the gap stunts business growth which would have created even more jobs." Word from Naomi Lucas, The Author I'm A Graduate Now What?

Exemplary Nigerians are working!

Not a lot of people would take up the expensive endeavor of pursuing their passion for collecting Nigerian historical relics from all over the world, or any passion for that matter; but not a lot of people possess the drive, enthusiasm and patriotic spirit of Amanda Kirby Okoye, celebrated Image Historian, Blogger and C.E.O - Kirby PR.

Her passion was activated by a chance online encounter with the “Nigeria Nostalgia Project” group. Fascinated by information being fed her, she initially pursued her hobby as a self-awareness initiative, but the personal enterprise quickly metamorphosed into a public awareness campaign driven by the need to educate, empower and create positive awareness about Nigeria, its history, and culture, through pictures, films and artifacts.

A graduate of Law from the London Metropolitan University, U.K, she attended her first colonial auction in Australia, that being the first of over 17 auctions attended worldwide to date. She has procured rare artifacts associated with Nigeria including first generation documents, artworks and other significant memorabilia.

At present, she is putting together an exhibition of her collection in Lagos that showcases Nigeria from 1860 – 1960, and has plans to replicate these projects in the long term across borders.

Amanda currently shuttles between England and Nigeria. She also shares her personal thoughts from time to time on her widely followed Facebook page.

Amanda Kirby Okoye is one of the narrators shortlisted for ‪#‎AfricasBiggestBookProject‬ Nigeria Edition.

A first-of-its-kind project, the 51 chapter audiobook will serve as the definitive companion to anyone who schooled and hopes to work within Africa.

Lagos, Nigeria, July 21, 2015 - Graduatepro has unveiled an audacious audiobook project aimed at addressing unemployment among Africa’s youth population. Titled “I’m A Graduate, Now What? The book will feature 55 exemplary Nigerians selected from a wide range of industries across Nigeria. These Nigerians will serve as narrators on the project, giving life to the scripts under the supervision of a Voice Coach and a Creative Director. The project will be replicated in key African countries using local influencers in the region and managed by Graduatepro’s Country Leads.

Confirmed narrators include Audu Maikori, OC Ukeje, Segun Lawal, Yemi Amusan, Dare Art Alade, Chioma Omeruah (Chigurl), Ayo Makun (AY), Chinedu Ikedieze, Jane Maduegbuna, Lanre Olusola, Michelle Aisha Bello, Kola Oyeneyin, Nimi Akinkugbe, Japheth Omojuwa, Andre Blaze Henshaw, Moses Siasia, Lydia Idakula Sobogun, Ojoma Ochai, Femi Longe, Dike Chukwumerije, Misan Rewane, Aisha Augie-kuta, Jimi Tewe, Nuhu Kwajafa, Femi Obong Daniels, Sage Hasson, Jodie Odiete, Amanda Kirby Okoye, Dayo Isreal, Alkasim Abdulkadir and Wana Udobang amongst others.

Speaking at the event which took place at Protea Hotel Leadway, Ikeja, Mr. Audu Maikori, Founder - Chocolate City Group, shared his recent experience working on the SURE-P Graduate Internship Scheme and said, “Internships and apprenticeships are part of the tools for capacity building that young people must adopt.” Chief Executive Officer - Lucere Ltd, Dr. Yemi Amusan, underscored youth empowerment and entrepreneurial funding as keys to solving the unemployment problem in Africa.

Ms. Naomi Lucas, the project visionary and Creative Director of the initiative said, “We must adopt a Pan-African approach to solving unemployment. We must show our young people that they can stay here and find meaningful work.” She further stated that contrary to popular opinion, there are jobs; the problem remains a wide gap between available jobs and the skills needed to execute them and that the gap stunts business growth which would have created even more jobs.

On what she hopes to achieve with the project, she said “My aim is to use the power of audio-visuals, young people’s attraction to the creative industries and the pervasiveness of internet and mobile technology to reverse the scourge of unemployment on the continent. Learning styles have evolved and the onus is on those who facilitate learning to remain one step ahead.” She reiterated her belief that every young person should have access to opportunities irrespective of their location, how much money they have or what time of the day it is.

The audiobook, which will be produced by Mr. Kehinde Dacosta Lawrence with Mr. Remi Olutimayin as Voice Coach, will commence on Wednesday the 22nd of July 2015 and last until mid September, 2015.
