Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Can You Accept A Job Offer For N18,000 In This Present Economy? by Lighthouseman: 8:06pm On Sep 10, 2016

Sezua:
a graduate once came to our office for an interview and she couldn't use MSword. I couldn't believe myself that day.

I had one some time ago. The was given an opportunity to recruit a replacement for myself since my time almost up... I searched until I found a graduate with a 2.1 and that was all he had to offer while the job requires a graduate who could drive... They guy said he could drive automatic. I told him sorry... If I saw another with a pass and could drive, I'd rather pick him.
Funny enough it was at nysc camp... I said to him, look around... Everyone here is a graduate and their certificates would be enough for camp fire... So, it's not about certificate and certifications.... What can u do? The present job I'm doing, I got an edge cos I could drive because companies are cutting cost and can't afford to have a driver and a graduate in their employ....

It's not enough to be a graduate! Graduate na name jareh... What can u offer?
Have u improved yourself?
What skill do u have?
Can u drive?
Abi Na certificate u had dey call ur self graduate?
Graduate us overrated in Nigeria.
For them to offer u 18k is what the employer feels you are worth.. Meanwhile, u could pick it up while u improve your self and have a higher offer once the economy bounces back...

The long and short of the matter is the guy is confused. The economy has grown and gone beyond his control... He is still in a wow situation.
Kudos to gej who managed the richest man in Africa, made Nigeria the 3rd fastest economy on the world and a darling to investors.
Immediately bubus came, dangote started diversifying out of Nigeria building plants in Cameron, Zambia, Mali because bubu might just come for him over import waivers granted him because bubu is very vindictive and any successful man around him must be kwurrupt.
He isolated the igbos who hold sway when it comes to industry and smes, let's see how far he goes.... He wants to bomb to submission the part that lays the golden egg and expect to get the golden eggs from the dead goose.... That's brainless!

Banks would soon go under.
Buhari is to be blamed. The biggest spender used to be government and the largest depositor used to be banks. But with the immediate implementation of the treasury single account suffocated banks with the attendant fines imposed on banks on the name of 'a new sherifat is in town'
The devaluation abi floating of the currency by this government made the banks take huge losses since most of their debts were dominated in dollars and we're given to oil and construction companies. With oil market unstable because of the militants and this government not awarding any major contracts to big time construction firms, the loans are turning to bad debts.
Less money in circulation means people have less to spend and just go to bank not to bank but to transfer to a relative or friend that is hungry on the other side who goes to withdraw immediately he receives alert.... So, how do banks survive?
I have the answer but that's for another day or when asked

You people use the word corruption wrongly...
What is corruption?
Corruption is a deviation from normal behavior or prescribed rules... It's not about money which in most cases is extortion.
What do u call it when a neighbor steals a neighbors ' pot of soup? Has it always been like this?
One thing I like with the hardship in Nigeria is that the igbos dictate the price of what you buy and when and how you buy... You guys from the brown roof region lost it in all ramifications... Politically and economically hence, punchng.com has turned to a wailing news paper. Osun is a pointer to were the brown roof people are headed towards.
We might have lost politically.. But not economically... U guys lost in two fronts...

Nigeria needs oil to sell at $100 to break even.
Secondly, what is the quantity being exported?
Either way, we are doomed. Buhari should realise we are living in a post oil era. Oil just like palm oil started the industrial revolution is being phased out.....
Human capital is what Nigeria should work on. Forget oil. The demand for forex is more than supply. What we have can take us almost to December after being all accumulated deficits to air line companies, foreign investors who wish to repatriate their monies, Nigerian import bills etc...

This visits are about the economy I think... The government is broke and buhari is seeking advice whether to borrow from Islamic bank or not and what would be the backlash form southern Christians against any form of Islamic bank loan.
Noticed the president of the Islamic development bank paid a visit recently? Remember El rufai outburst against the cbn interest rates and the infamous quote of "we would have to legislate against it...... ".
A major decision is about being made.
But the whole truth is that baba I'd confused about the economy... He doesn't understand what is gdp, gnp, demand and supply, etc.

An economy in recession instead of fixing it the president wants a law for more powers to be divulged to him while most reasonable Nigerians are asking that power be decentralised.
A repeat of 1984 essential commodities is looming when soldiers would be sent to the markets to enforce prices of goods. Let's say you buy rice at 20k, the army would force u to sell at 11k. This his policy sent companies like leventis underground to this day and many others had to pull out of Nigeria.
He should seek for help... This stubborn man will never.... He is too proud to be a president. A president who has never visited the economic capital of Nigeria in two years doesn't care about the economy.
Who has seen bubu in Lagos? And he has no intentions of going there.... He is holed up in Abuja by the cabal telling him he would be assassinated if he leaves Abuja. But has been to kadunA and katsina, zamfara and you think this man cares about the economy?
A flourishing economy has now turned to an eyesore in less than 2 years.... The worst is folks can't feed!
