I got an offer before I finished my service and another the second month after my service. I have an online business I do, I invest also in agricultural products. God is faithful. Please plan well and God will give you success.

Wo... with all these motivations ,I still don't have one. Am at the point of depression, no job no money to start business , I even learnt barbing during Nysc saed , wen I finished I went further with the skill after I finished learning, no money to set myself up. I studied Human Resource Management 2nd class up division. I got many advise to proceed with m.sc but no money to proceed, what will I do? This is already 6yrs of graduation. No job no money to start a business,no money to get a shop for my skills. It's disheartening, I cry silently everyday.

If you graduate from a university and you come out looking for someone to employ you, then you are one of the problems of this country. With the knowledge and enlightenment you've gained from school, you should be the one employing and empowering people.
There are several businesses one can start building now which requires little capital but with a potential for massive returns in the long run.

You de mind the guy? I can boldly beat my chest,that the said guys making everyone look like a lazy person,is still stuck with a 7–5 job!.
When 90–95% of people in a country are struggling despite efforts made, then the problem is no longer with the citizens, but with such a country (NIGERIA).
It is even our hustling mentality that has kept us going this far! IF NOT!!!
check sef, most of them that do rant like that don't even have a job. They just say all those things to sound smart. Someone who struggle with this harsh economy of a country called naija and make it successfully won't be so guilt-tripping with their words to others

if you've been doing something before gaining admission, it will be much more easier to assimilate back into society if not na back to sender except if your parents knows someone that knows someone. It took me 1 week to gain employment after school.

Finished NYSC in October 2019, got a remote job barely 2 weeks after POP. It's not a salaried job, coz you get paid based on your work rate with a minimum of $30 (I have no idea of the max).
I didn't make a dime from the platform until December (around $50 or so). I've been on an upward trend, ever since then.

I started a retail business in January 2020, but I think I've lost interest in running the business. I'll most likely close up at the end of my rent

I guess that's why all the graduates in the developed countries are the ones employing and empowering people immediately they graduated from the university. Some people are not in sync with reality.

@House1411: it took me 8 years after graduation before I finally became employer

Even some employers started from being an employee and there is nothing wrong in being an employee neither is it a crime to be an employer . . . .If everyone becomes an employer, who will they employ? Which of the said business that requires little capital do you know, please list them and let's debate this

its not like graduates don't know what business to go into,it's availability of funds to start,if I had 400k back then,I would have employed like 10 people at least whom I will pay at least 50k per month in palm kernel business

Your course?
WoundedLamb:
Can't remember but it was almost one month counting from the time I actually started searching cause I'd earlier gone on vacation to cool off after my final exams. Some of my classmates were picked by on-campus recruiters that arrived after I had already traveled. I felt bad but today, I'm happy things went that way. Years later, I was back in search of talents.

7 years later..got my first 6 figure paying job. All those years of experience on low paying jobs eventually paid off.

To those saying start a business, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Some people do better as part of a system!


Some people do better as part of a system.
Can't agree less.
