Fucking liers, this isn't Eksu. This us FUTA

kpele!! And you think the OP has something to gain by changing the school name?? The message is not about the school but "the student" and the situation at hand.

Mind you, that's an ETF building beside 3000LT and a stone throw to the school library. I wrote few of my papers in that hall.
While do you think everyone would be lieing? On nothing! may be it looks so much like that of Futa, bro that's OSUA/UNAD/EKSU.

summary??

.

Smile! In summary: That in today's country and world at large, Success is not by Educational status (Graduates or No graduates) and Until we start creating jobs for ourselves, loads of present and unborn illiterates would continue to employ university graduates, pay their salaries and dictates to them what to do and what not.

Good Day Fellow hustlers and job searchers in the Nigeria. How Market? Any Progress? How many CV have we sent today?? Countless many would say. Well, we would all get there.

Today, i was on Facebook when my very good long time friend posted a question, he asked; Education use to be very important until Graduates started working for illiterates. Why?

I felt like bye-passing the post but feel concerned to lend my voice. Below is my Reply to him.

Dear Ore mi (My Friend),
Oma to jo meta ( Quite a while)! How has it been? (Se ko koja afarada). Well i was moved by your post above and feel like sharing my experience.

You see Ore (My Friend), Graduates would continue to be working for illiterates if we continue to be searching endlessly for unavailable jobs.
Illiterates and businessmen now create most of the jobs we all crave for, yet many of us feel so unconcerned to start something. We either complain of no capital or no idea. These illiterates embark on many unrefined and crude adventure, they turn it around in the nick of time and we started feeling jittery about their success even when they don't have certificate.

Ore mi, Let me give you a test sample, try and post an unavailable job online, get a venue, print pages of Gmath Question, find like 3 of your friends that look cool in suit blazers. Wait till after 2days, check and read CV's from people applying for jobs they don't even know what you do, do they even care? They just want you to employ them, as long as you can pay them peanut that covers feeding and transport. That's how bad the job market is, so flooded. Many in their thousands move to Lagos and Abuja for sales job, Internship (At least i knew how i begged people to employ me few months too, so am a victim of this),office boy in the name of office Assistant in lekki owned by a smart guy who could have employed an SSCE boy or girl but wish to employ graduates just to either help to reduce the job market or to make him a big boss. Hmn!

Ore have you ever wondered why baba morilii (olokada) beside your house or baba esther the panel beater has built a house yet we have many school teachers or even principals that are chief tenants since 1979.

Let me share my experience with you, While i was serving, in the bit to augment my alawi and taking into consideration that NYSC would be over in a matter of months. I intensified my job search, luckily i applied for the post of an administrative assistant from an advert i saw online.

A friend and I were lucky to be selected, we kitted up in suit with our pali well arranged and neatly filed. What we saw at the interview venue was one experience that would linger on with me, for long.

We are about 58 applicants competing for 3 positions (the company secretary and HR) inclusive. We were asked all manners of questions ranging from who was the minister of agriculture, who was deputy gov of kwara state, questions on hygiene and environmental management..In short, all kinds of irrelevant questions just to waste our precious time, all in the name of conducting interviews.

But who are we to complain? Bunch of clueless and jobless youths we were. Did i mention that the company also recruited for marketers and labourers with HND or Degree? How demeaning and undignifying you may say.

Let me now paint the part that surprised me most, an OND graduate from Kwarapoly owns the small company. He has 3 management staffs already, with few field workers. He told us, he was employing only 2guys and 1lady.

He also told us the history of his company. He started in 2011 with pure water factory as machine worker, he started doing overtime, he saved and started buying cashew nuts across ogbomoso and minna. He suddenly become a big boy, bought cars and started a small farm and waste control and management company.

I felt sorry for myself that day, i should be older than the guy self, i was like imagine this "thing ooo" employing Bsc and masters holder.. Oga ooo!

I sat down and felt the guy was indeed smart. A lot of us would complain from today till 2020 basking in the euphoria of our 2.1 in Microbiology or Sociology. We have ideas, we have initiatives and technical know how than these illiterates but "ego" would not make us attempt to do something.

Until we change our attitude about success, making a living and placement of values, these unlettered guys, risk-taking dudes and the "never mind guys" would not stop employing us. Am telling you this as a good friend of mine, life is not as we think.

Today, my father seldomly send me 5k or 7k per month. Many friend would say, haa but ur dad is a chief now. I asked them, which "Chief"?? A village Chief who still go out to cut bush as a surveyor? Funny enough... The economy is now harsh, no salary for workers ,no body to buy land or do survey.

Ko wa tan bi?? (Can you now see), that No be wen u see people buy land u go see money?. Now is that the kind of father i would rely on? People would promise you jobs, when you go there from January till June, eyes go push you sote, one day your brain go tell you say they are not willing to help. Then, you talk to your leg and look else where.

My broda, i may not have been gainfully employed o, but have been blessed with ideas that paints a beautiful picture with god support. I may not have done so much for myself o, but at least have had a change of attitude, that it's not about what you study, what you graduate with or even whether you are an illiterate or a graduate. "Atelewo eni kin ta'ani je" (Believe in your hustle).

Am on the street hustling big time, have packed my 2.1 for one corner, and trying to see if i could have make sense of my life and act as if i didn't go to school. Today i have a friend of mine, a first class scholar, in final year of a Federal University, studying mass communication and learning shoe making. many have condemn him but i applauded the move, its a good way to start. May be in the future he may be the richest journalist Nigeria ever had with a shoe-making company.

Kunle, we would all make it, if we start something and start anyhow, selling recharge cards, making pop-corns, plantain chips, business centres, rearing animals, fish farming and many others. It may not do much, but it would pay our bills while we keep looking for that job if we still feel the need.

Remember, this is my friendly contribution and it's in no way to demean us but to awaken the giants in us. I leave you with this quote that says,"For better or worse, our future will be determined in large part by our dreams and by the struggle to make them real".

Thank You for your Time, we would all make it by God's grace, it's only a matter of time before we supplant the forces that is impeding us to grow.

MBA

eagleccentric:
I presume those 2 are professional courses, meaning you cant follow up to get a Ph.D on either. Why don't you do something that will stimulate ur desire to go higher??

But in any case, if u have to chose, better you do an MPH. It'll open more doors for you especially if you want to work in an international ngo

You can do a Phd with MPH. Make your findings very well.

I advice you guys to check last year thread. We wrote entrance exam July 5th. the first set of people to be admitted got mail Oct 5th/6th or so. I got my admission exactly Nov 5th but the admission letter was dated Oct 8th for all unilorin applicant.

To avoid Unnecessary headache over message, i advice make una put mind for First week of Oct. From Oct onward, u guys can now be having sleepless night. but for now, make una go dey look for school fees and house rentage. lolz

Wishing all the best faa

Aregbese!!! Okunrin meta....keep flogging your people

Godsonkemz:
South west and ritual killings/crimes na 5 and 6. Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Lagos and its surroundings. Some months ago, a female corp member was reported missing and was later found dead in the street of Ibadan. Ogun on its own has always been on the news known for armed robbery, rape, ritualists hideouts, and so many other social vices.

check most of the robbery case in the places you mentioned, its still your brother from the east

Clifford Orji comes to one's mind. Greatest Nigeria cannibalistist in History.

mail dropping as demon mailer. Help us check the mail

Kayla12 sorry ooo.........hope u don find place now? It is well.

One of the many problems of Lagos life.. U get a job, where you go sleep na whala, while ur papa may get duplex for another state. This particular girl may be earning close to 80k oooo, yet would be suffering like person wey rain beat. I tire for Lasgidi oooo... JOB STRESS+HOUSING WAHALA+COST OF LIVING + TRAFFIC HULLABALU= "Lagos na wa oo"

These would continue if every youth feels his or her glory is tie to a 50 or 70k office assistant job on the island.
Ise bi ago, jije iliri"- work like clock and eat like pauper.

If every emeka can stay in aba and learn spare part business even with his Bsc sociology, and tonye feels life can be better with fish farming in PH , while gbenga would stays in ekiti and start little business centre in ado-ekiti.. May be life would be meaningful..... And in actual fact, these folks in the next 3yrs with hard work may get married, own a car and a house and be better off than an island office boy who is busy jumping from one flat to another.

Once again, kayla12 i sympathise with u ma. It is well, if only u could come to osogbo, i have a free self con u can manage at no cost, but unfortunately, u are a lagosian. Epele!!!

Funny enough, now that this kind of thread has been created, i trust nairalanders, they would start opening a typical of this.. Please ooo, i dey collect 60k ooo, living in okota, working in ikoyi, i need squatter..

Falz is my favourite anytime any day.. I love him most because of the way he makes the flows very funny in local yoruba accents, even as the son of the Nija famous Femi Falana!

LOVE THIS LIKE KILODE IN "JAMB QUESTION"

This your Confident level gan is so extreme
Do you relate to kafaya iyen aburo tesleem
You think am getting more bully **
*Or am i the kind of player to ti hang jersey
Am only starting conversation moti wa jebi
Why do you take it personal, ose wa’n te p'

anyone offered sociology?

yea! checked for a cousin now! admission offered 49% and 199. While the one that scored 48% and had 223 has not be given admission...... Such is life, it's a game of luck and favour.. I was in your shoe 8yrs ago looking for medicine @ OAU here nd there. But thank God today..

Congrats to those that have been offered admission, the journey has just started, its a milestones but surely have an ending, a long walk you have got. Prepare for school life and keep at the mind of your mind, how it all started and while you are there. God bless!

To those that are still waiting, what else can i say than to brighten up your hope, like Thomas Edison and Albert Eisten or PMB, who never gave up. Indeed, the scorching sun outside is enough to dry the badly wet cloth.. Faith and hope does it.

I know how u are feeling right now, cos my blood brother who i thought as a predegree student would be given top priority as also not been admitted. Irony you may say!!!

God bless UNIOSUN!!

Thanks, but my sister gained admission to English last year, she told me math was also required. Somehow disturb, though have told him to go and get NECO GCE But wasting the PRE-DEGREE SCHOOL FEES, a year AND that Jamb school is why am so embittered. Thanks once again bro, much ado.

Hi guys, I just checked 2015 NECO Result for my junior Brother but sadly his mathematics was "cancelled". He had every other subjects except math even last year, where he had E8. My plight now is that he had just finished Uniosun Pre-degree programme, and had 223 in Jamb and 48% in PUTME. Going for Industrial Relation and Personnel Management (IRPM). Can he be admitted? Any Remedy?

Please i need your sincere contribution, particularly Ex students and Experienced undergraduates of this ivory tower.

aptly said, but 7 out of a randomly chosen 10 Nairaland visitors will prefer gist to those aforementioned sections you want given front page priority.


you know the whole "one man's food, poison, bla bla"


I agree with you 100%... but I'm afraid things might not change... just let the few that enjoy those sections with the real worth and benefits enjoy it all alone. it's not for the crowd, no come spoil market for us.



SHOCKER: NAIRALANDER GETS LIFE BAN FOR ADVISING FORUM OWNER AND MODERATORS

lol

I love your spirit adeola. We are on the same page! Nice stuffs

Mr scarplanet, I appreciate your detailed analysis.. If you take a cursory look at what i wrote, wasn't saying the likes of Politics and celebrities news shouldn't be aired, what am driving at is that it's being paraded above others.. Of a fact, i love politics more than any thing and i do enjoy the umpteenth news update. that nairaland is known with but then some news sometimes are not frontpage materials especially in the celeb section. U would see like 3 news about a particular celebrity in a day on the front page, making people to just go to their instagram and twitter pages for updates and bring it here most often.

Beside this, every other sections has a role it plays and i believe your words, but then, too much of everything can be bad. Again, I reiterate that most often, stories coming from celebrities sections are not always news worthy. Thanks.

Op, how old are you? At your age, you should've known that above all, controversy sells. You called lindaikeji a gossip site yet it is the number one blog in africa. Corporate institutions are paying her millions for advert placements. Now tell me, do they love gossip that much?

Smile, and you think by asking my age is the best way to address an issue? It doesn't add up my brother. All am saying is this, a forum is different from a blog, where everything goes.. Adverts is being displayed everywhere on a blog site to draw traffics but as the name implies, a forum is : a meeting at which a subject can be discussed: a place or opportunity for discussing a subject. I think you get my drift sir.

michoa:
Good day brodas and sisters. Please I need your advise. I put in for public health at d Osun State university through JAMB I'm also an aspirant at Obafemi Awolowo university buh itz tru Direct Entry(agric extension and rural development). Both admission is sure...buh I'm bothered considering d career opportunities in both- public health/agric extension. please advise,me which one is better. Thanks in anticipation.

Which of the two do you like most? One factor is the duration, Agric is 5yrs in Ife while Public health is 4yrs. Another factor is that you pay like 150k yearly in Uniosun while OAU goes for maximum of 50k.. Career wise, both have good prospect but only you knows what you want. Do you like farming? or You would also like to be seeking for jobs after 5yrs. Also another thing is that Uniosun, Babcock and FUTO are the only 3 schools doing PH at the Undergraduate level in Nigeria, much as it is also an opportunity (because it's still a fertile land withe few entrants), my fear with Uniosun is accreditation by NUC, I hope it's not disacredited while you are at it just like the did to their medicine students. Though, they are still have nursing, my prayer is that they should be able to ensure it's continued accreditaion. The ball is now in your court to juxtapose and take a decision, am close to both schools.
