yame014: Good one...I was about to raise that observation. The guy probably didn't school in Nigeria and if he did, he probably went to a private university. What Jp phillips should know is that not all Nigerians can afford d tuition in private universities. In my earlier post on this topic, i made mention of someone who finished secondary sch at the age of 17, got admitted into the university (federal) at 19 and graduated at 24 after spending five years with no spill over but due to ASUU strikes. By the time he was mobilised for service, he was already 25 and finished serving at 26+. Now are we going to say he wasted 26yrs of his life schooling? or he didn't make the right choice of school?

what kind of admission took you 2yrs to secure? do you realize those 2yrs of your life will never comeback?
what skill did you acquire within this 2yrs? or you went home to eat mama 'thank ma' in the name of 'waiting for jamb' after which you pounce your self inflicted frustration on PS3?

are you aware that some of your mates while waiting for jamb run Microsoft professional certifications where they cant afford it they go to local computer centers to learn basic computer appreciation?

how long do you think it takes to learn how to overhaul phones with competence certification?.this same skill your mates at alaba use it to feed their families.
how long does it take to be proficient in design? do you know the demand for such skills? even if you dont make money from it, your ability to design your own house will save you a lot of money and wahala in the future.

do you know that 60% of Nigerian graduates dont know how to use computers?
meanwhile this same people had years with ASUU strikes and jamb, today, they are blaming employers.

these designers that have made it big, are they not tailors? how long does it take to learn to make clothes? or you dont know the demand for such?

what about event planning? you think they are all big deals? because your ignorant mind spent two yrs at home playing ps3.
do you know the demand for making weaves and beads?
primivera, SAP are very lucrative applications one can learn in a short period. how many undergraduates are doing it?

come to the depot, some undergraduate s are there learning the trade some of them are even praying for ASUU to remain on strike. after now, they have a skill and they look for sponsors, while their mates are feeding fat at home watching pooorn on the internet.

why will someone sponsor an empty head without skill?

those are the real issues. our youths need to wake up real fast

bishopjoe02: from your post, i doubt if you are in Nigeria, at what age did you graduate, dont be a kettle that is calling pot black, entreprenuer, hw many of them are making it in Nigeria, were is the funds, not everyone have it all go as your friend, do you knw d cost of USA visa, u nid to wake up and face reality, Nigeria Economy does not encourage private venture, all-else you have someone that will bankroll your idea.

you just spoke like a lazy uninformed youth wallowing in the gallows of ignorance, when you stop watching big brother and take a time off to research on real issues, when you spend weeks online researching global opportunities, then you may see a place or Window to catch in.
it is only an empty head that sees the challenges of life, the moment you pre occupy your head with real solutions, you will never have cause to complain.
how would you find a way outta Naija's problems when you spend 3months on BBA?
how will you know how many people that graduated early when you spend the better part of your life on kalo kalo?
look at the world top musicians, most of them start from their church choir as child choristers, our youths after wasting years of their lives on marijuana, dey dash off to the studio to make noise, tear their shirts and call themselves 'stars'.
is this life?

our youths finished themselves before the govt buried them.

RedBenson: YES he's among d top 10 jobless pilots in d country. Infact, of more than a yr now, Omosexy had been feeding and even dropping him some pocket cash.

that guy you are insulting is running a flight academy as we speak, his own private buisness and is making serious money from it.
it is better to have a kiosk of your own than to be working in someone else's mansion.

ITbomb: I'm still waiting to see an unemployed Doctor

the ones recieving 45k a month are they equally employed?

franksunny: Bet me, some of you make this noise probably you have some little capital or you have who you fall back to for it. Some of this graduate don't have a dollar in their account, where will they start from? if you are given equal opportunity with those graduate, you can't beat them. non of them want to be idle; the system produced them the way thy are"garbage in garbage out" so if yu want to help them set up skills acquisation center where you train them and give them soft loan. stop all these your unprofited contributions

university education is no longer necessary in Nigeria, whoever fails to realize that is a mugu.

no be money he used to pay school fees? that money can set you up than wasting it in one petty academic jamboree

size38: I have said it time and time again. Everytin happening in Rivers state is being engineered by d president. If not, why will those other 5 law makers not face trail as well? To me, chidi llyod is a defender of democracy. Rivers state has not known to be having financial crime, how come d EFCC has to come in to investigate their financial book if not for political witch hunting? D fuel subsidy crime is still there with d same EFCC turning their eyes away from Otedola and Farauk Lawan. Its mere political witch hunting on Amaechi. And we will resist it to d last in Rivers state.

who are the ''we''?

ogaju007: @JP Phillips: There is no law that says uni at any age is an opportunity... I do understand ur thoughts might be limited to your immediate environment which is why you feel that way however, my opinion is anybody that has a quest for knowledge can decide to go to UNI when he/she so desires. I can decide at 45 to go and studt Medicine, will that be a bad decision? should i be discriminated against because of my Age?

if you read that post properly you would have realized that you are missing the point, but that is Nigerian youths for you.

sholay2011: What is wrong with this one? Ranting about because he got lucky or fortunate in life? Smh.

those things you call opportunities are abundant for everylife that is God 's promise to us, if he could fend for grasses in the field much less you made in his image.
the question is; what did you do with yours? or you want to blame people for your own failure?

the Op here is blaming an employer who gave him an opportunity where his govt has failed.
22.5m Nigerians voted this same mess of a govt, yet not ashamed to complain where it has failed, does it make any sense?
what goes around comes around.

bishopjoe02: fresh and younger graduate? It seems u are still in school, majority of Nigeria, graduate between the age of 24-26, due to some economy reasöns, like Jamb, ASUU etc, plus the compulsory one year service, for those that have a spill-over (extension) d story is different, with these factors, how many Nigerians do u think will meet the age requirement set by most firms.

stop talking nonsense you graduated when you did as a result of the decision you made and the opportunity you have, re you cursing people who are more privileged than you are? must you go to university to make it in life?
how many experts in Nigeria have a University degree?
did you see messi or samuel etoo in any university?

how can you throw away 26yrs of your life and want to be pitied for your error?
wen we left sec. my friend's dad told him that he is good at fixing things that he want him to learn automobile mechanic, he refused insisting on mechanical engineering, but when waec result came out, he narrowing passed maths.

father made it clear that he cannot waste his education trust fund on someone who wants to be an engineer with poor mathematics, den we were just 17.
his dad enrolled him with a 2yrs internship programme with denso in US, these guys are no close to be rich, they spent little for that 2yrs, accommodation provided by the aunt who lives there, tuition free but he cleans and arranges workshop and the company provides his food.

Denso at the time has a big contract with Toyota and other car companies so his training was intensive.

armed with an automobile competence certificate, he returned to Nigeria at 19yrs.
his father used his trust fund to hire his first workshop, by the time we were 25yrs this guy is already a multi millionaire, by the time we left the University he was already invested heavily in real estates, parts importation and auto sales.

by 29yrs when we met last he has 6 mechanical engineers on his payroll and an expert.

a lot of people have similar stories the problem with our youth is too much noise, ignorance and acute buffoonery.

you waste 30yrs of ur life trying jamb yet u blame govt, when will you give up and face your talent? when your sponsor retires and you sing to the world you have no privilege?

my first employer was a french guy with a competence certificate nothing more yet he paid my bills for years before I came to my senses.

blame blame blame! that's wot we are good at, no work at all, today is blaming employer s for their own jobs? gimme a break!.

this lousy mindset u have is the reason we have very high rate of unemployment.

turn on ur tv what do you see? our youths are watching big brother, maltina dance show, stuupid things, that contribute nada to their wellbeing, they are so poorly informed, once they open their mouths they ooze of emptiness.

Nairaland front page is not left out of this anomie im talking about, tonto today celebrity tomorrow.

How can you expect good decision from an empty head?

PHIPEX: The earlier this issue is settled by the court and prohibited the better for Nigerian youths. Months ago I was invited by KPMG for an aptitude test only to be turned back at their gate because according to them they just realised that am a year older than their cut-off age. Even though am out of the group of unemployed youths but many people are still constantly frustrated for reasons that are not of their making. Now ASUU is still making matters worse for our undergraduates tomorrow they will tell you our graduates are unemployable.

These are the kinds of bills those senators who couldn't sponsor a single bill in 2 yrs should catch in and make impact in our lives.

have you launched a campaign recently to create awareness for senators like Ngige to sit at home?
we talk too much in Nigeria

ogaju007: This shows how backward Nigeria is in terms of Human Resources legislation. What has age got to do with your ability to perform? this kind of discrimination does not support nor help the poor. how about people that could only afford to go to uni after 30? Later some people will be comparing Nigeria to UK and US? hmmm i rest my case.

if you are opportune to go to uni at 30, then you have made a poor decision unless u ve established a career before then.
not every event is an opportunity, uni at 30 is not, 17 it is.

adconline: What did you accomplish at 21? What was ur greatest accomplishment at 25?

at 21 a lot of people are graduates or have defined a career path for themselves, the fact that you went to coma doesnt mean the world went to a pause.

chukwuinya: are we talking about d constitutionality of age limit,if i may ask is there anything done in this country that is within d dictate of our so called constitution?sorry to say this but we must start somewhere probably from here

you see how deluded our youths are, they wont vote for a govt that respect the rule of law but they want it to apply to the employers lol.

pappilo: You think you are clever but you are extremely dim. HR decision or not, it is illegal! If a slowpoke like you had any authority, black people would still be sitting at the back of the bus! Puta!

the guy made a post and says the employers see it as valid, for every staff you hire by the same law u referred to, he or she have entitlements, one of which is health benefit.
things are hard for not just the employees but for the employer too, what economic challenge do you encounter that a company doesn't?
if diesel is selling for 160/l the same price is sold for both the employer and employee.

now, 7.5% of your monthly salary is what your employer pay as ur pension then another 7.5% is deducted from you making a total of 15%.

as a graduate engineer with no job experience meaning zero productivity how much do you want to be paid? 200k I guess and 7.5% of that sum must be paid multiplied by number of employees.

here is a graduate trainee position where you are not yet making money for the employer, he coughs out another 60% of your annual salary to make sure you are fit for the job, studies have shown that an employee's psychological disposition is a function of his productivity.

then to be fair, you hire a 35yr old man chances are that he has a family, in other words, his health benefits have increased by another 4people.
this is a person who is not making money for you.

to bring him up to speed of course the same govt failed to provide training facilities for the employer so he is forced to sponsor you to either Aberdeen or Houston texas at a huge cost with no guarantees cos he can leave at will.

now the same employee is entitled to over one month annual leave. at 35, he has blood pressure issues, he has hiv, there are others in his group with Asthma all these are no fault of theirs and to be fair the messiah employer has to carry all.

meanwhile out there, there are some people at 25, ten years younger than that man who expect to be hired for equal opportunity reasons, 10yrs within which he will be productive who will you hire? im even suprised its the men that are complaining wot abt the women whose employers tell them when to make babies?

will you be pregnant when u re not yet entitled to a maternity leave? abi you will take three month s maternity leave as a trainee? or you take every yr because u re close to menopause?

these are the real issues here and I pray that as soon as the govt does something for the employees the employer will be carries along in the spirit of fairness.

what about the under paid employees? that is the biggest problem, age and employment criteria are secondary.

IM employment? those are the real issues not giving concession to someone who decided to repeat all his classes, write jamb in 9 sittings and expect the world to congratulate them for graduating at 40yrs.

xykms101: And what exactly are you insinuating?

...What do you want nigerian youths to do? ...they should stop thinking about going to school or what?

No one is to blame for this but our present government.

ASUU has been going on strike before ur father grew pubic hairs, you dont have a point. btw, how did jamb collect 2yrs of your life?
you wrote jamb as a career and you blame Govt for that?
yea yea, I blame the govt too each time I get a hard on.

[quote author=P.Stacks]Ok. Let's even say the constitution says minimum age limit, does the constitution provides for incessant ASUU strike?

Now ASUU is on strike, who pays for the 5 weeks wasted in these students life. Time is of the essence, when ASUU strikes, JAMB takes 2 years from you and you end up graduating 27 and still compulsorily have to give 1 year to NYSC, who is to blame for that. Or are they expecting my age to stand still while ASUU is on strike. Time waits for no one you know.

I can't suffer from the Country's in-efficiency and still get discriminated against by an employer on age grounds when my head is bubbling with ideas. This is a real serious issue that must be looked into. Infact the country must be looked into.

Nigeria and her plenty never ending problems[/quote]give me 3 reasons why you did not consider ASUU strike when you made your choice of university? ?
should we fight for an error in a decision you made?

xykms101: Stop spewing rubbish dude, no matter how you prepared yourself for the future in nigeria and you stil have no ladder, believe me there's no how you will get to the top.

Or are you telling me that most of our jobless graduates also toyed with their future?

....Democracy is the biggest mistake nigerians ever condoned.

Let's all stand for disintegration or the return of the military regime, if we can get this done believe me, everybody will definately get on top of his/her situation.

you are free to take your fight anywhere nobody will stop ya but the moment you become an employer your mindset will change, you start seeing things differently.

you think you have a point simply becaus you're the victim here, lol

[quote author=mr_king]We can start by signing a Petition!! Honestly! This madness must stop!! Due to age factors!

do you expect everyone to wake up with you because you confused 9am with 9pm?
I don't think so

lagerwhenindoubt: The Truth is a lot of us made big mistakes early in Life for which we are paying the consequences.

The period in your life when you make the most of it is between 20-30 years old, after that you finish the race between 35-50 years old, from that point you prepare for retirement and God-willing, you party-hard, go on holidays and prepare your will because God can be a party-pooper at that age.

Most (Majorly Most) people play with their lives at a time when they should be learning, growing and making the best of their time preparing for the future. you can see it in our youths today. making mistakes that will be costly in the near future, they will come to nairaland then and complain

exactly my sentiment, you see someone staying at home for 5yrs trying to be admitted in one university his father told him its old generation, meanwhile he is applying for another 5yrs programme.

when the reality sets in we begin to hear craps like this.
as you make your bed, go lie on it. the employers have spoken its either you do it their way or create your own job.

how can someone go to a private university which will cost an ave of half a million per annum for 5yrs a total of 2.5million for a 5yrs course with no relevance in the Nigerian economy?

in the end he or she joins the queue of jobless people because even the course itself is a recipe for joblessness, why not go for a 1.5yrs or 2yrs vocational programme and start your own stuff with a capital base of 2.5million, lemme see if you wont be better off than someone who went to covenant to study physical education.

Xzhibit: dis is d typ of bill dat should be presented in d floor of our house proper delibration.

bill? when the poster is pointing at an illegality? I tell you what; most job seekers are as ignorant as they come, how do you expect an ignorant man to fight for something.
This is the real issue with Nigerian youths.

kenjudy: I think first of all, d legal practioners in d house here should start dis war for us to follow. Many jobbers will be afraid to join without proper foundation, as they stand d chance of not been employed as well after d fight or whatever name u chose to give it. If d law takes it up, we can then find a solid ground to stand on. Becos as job seeker, fighting ur supposed employer without proper foundation and hope of winning at last as in a country like naija where anything is possible, u'd be surprised things might get worse after d rally cos dis country has made it clear dat d more money u possess, d more power u weld. Imo tho

you wont be employed if u ve exceeded the age limit anyways, so its a win win situation for the victims

Lexo22: And the revolution has just started, how? By copying and pasting this article on your Facebook wall, WhatsApping /pinging it to ur contacts by so doing, you have participated in the revolution and I believe they will still pass the information across...

then what?

so,,,,?

ileobatojo: 95% burns? There's hardly any surviving that. Poor child!

What kind violent psycho sets a child on fire for eating meat? May she burn in hell.

People! Learn and teach stop, drop and roll to minimize burn injuries.....

they are the same people who claim to be descent on Nairaland when beverly osu strips on BBA.
this goes to tell you the kinda animals in Nigeria yet they will tie their brain every sunday morning to worship God.

Asiwaju9ja: Here Goes another dysfunctional child(Them Plenty) on Nairaland. 4king on Live Continent wide television is PROGRESS!

george clooney fvcked severally on live screen and ended up with a nobel peace price, best actor awards not on your disease infested African continent level but on the world stage at large.

are you more famous, influential or better in any ramificatiin than the likes of Sylvester stallone, Michael Douglas, halle berry and sharon Stone?

are they not entertainers?

mr Asiwaju9ja who are you in Nigeria? what is your influence in Nigeria I dont want to mention the international scene?

you are just a fvcking, jobless hating nobody.

when sharon stone strips on screen she recieves awards but when beverage osu strips, then she lacks moral. o yea! Mr Asiwaju9ja can you prove to us that you are not a pedophilic armed robber on SARS most wanted list?

just as you are faceless on the internet keep you morality to your God.
what I see in Nigeria on a daily basis tells me that decency is dead a long time .its either you live with it or you commit suicide.

texaco1: For where?even if the wanted to use one she didn't allow him ,she was virtually attacking him,the guy just simply played along

good to know but I didnt see any letter I inside any toto?
it seems she just rode the letter I to come, she didnt even make an angle dat depicts penetration.

I am not convinced there is penetration what I saw was mere smooching.

but that beverage arrsse is tight, better than those stretchmark infested demons who claim to be descent here on nairaland.

I am sure the likes of ogugua and Mamacita007 will be bestowed with terrible aarrssee, yet they get mouth dey talk.

make una dey dia dey misyarn when she wins that money, ur husbands will be begging you to leave the house for her.

Mamacita007 show us ur arse before you make a sound on beverage again.

ujchief: Once again, isn't this a reality TV show Last time I checked, fvcking is part of the realities of life. If this is truly a reality TV show and Beverage fvckked on it, then she should be getting close to the cash prize; innit?

I wonder why the rouse! If you fight in the house, you will be disqualified. Nando threatened to stab someone with cutlery, Big brother sent him packing; as if stabbing and fighting isn't part of the realities of life. Is this show truly a reality show they want it to be a staged show

And why the hate on Beverage? I'm sure if it was a Nigerian guy (Danzel) that fvcked someone in the house, you lot will be hailing him as the next big thing! Such discrimination isn't fair!

Go Beverage!!! Fvckk any dckk that has weight and can occupy space!

when you hear Nigerian cretins talk, you will think all Nigerian gals are virgins, only on the internet ashawo dey call her fellow ashawo wwhhoorree.

all the open cvnts on the streets of Lagos wetin open am? dagger?
anybody who has committed either adultery or fornication on this thread and has posted rubbish on Beverage, may all of you die untimely deaths.

na so una go dey distribute HIV under the staircase come dey form holy one thing rubbish!!!

Mamacita007: Ashawo kobo kobo. runs girl will always be a runs girl. mshewww she cant even pretend to be decent for one bit. wat a disgrace!!!!!

and you are?? you pretend to be descent yet all the gatemen in ajao estate know the color of your pant.
its understandable when depressed men talk thrash about women but when it comes from bingos like you who cannot even afford to be a wwhhoorree then I get worried.
you have never been to bba, u no manage graduate from school, one naira u no get even ashawo na still bad market you be so why cant you shut the hell up.

someone like you have not had sex in years not because u dont self-service your sorrows away but becos nobody is asking you.

she fvcked for a chance to win $300, 000 , wot do u fvck for? bouncers to come dance in a club?
or ur landlord to get rent discount or ur brown tooth old lecturer for an E in a course everyone made an A?

learn to be shutting up because ur own pvssy equally stink.
