I started with a job of 13k. It was from there I made friends and build relationships that would later lead to better jobs and opportunities.
Sometimes you look beyond the money. Build network and gain experience sincerely 25k is better than sitting at home

Eriokanmi:
How do you acquire skills when you're not financially buoyant? This advice could appeal to those from average homes who can afford to acquire some. The larger percentage of graduates in Nigeria today struggled to pass through the university system. Many have been home for years, waiting for that job, even if its less than 25k but never found any. Why do you think lots of graduates went for shawarma business and napep riding? Anyone who had the opportunity of getting a job at all, should embrace it for some good reasons...


1-your experience is adding up and this brightens your chance of getting a better offer elsewhere

2- you can even make much more money while on the job legitimately, just like I did and use same to advance in your career. Within a year on an 11k job, I saved for my foreign degree, paid my flight ticket by myself, etc. Meanwhile during the interview, some willingly withdrew on hearing the ridiculous salary we were goingto be paid. I met one of them recently asking me to help him for a job...almost 15 years after we lost contact ( during which I had travelled to US for my masters and back).

He went for master degree after his first degree, I'm sure you know that he spent money to acquire that second degree. Even if it was a scholarship which I really doubt, nonetheless he spent his own money too. That money spent to get second degree could have been used to acquire a skill or start a business.

That was what I did in my own case. Instead of going for the second degree, I started a business despite the advice from left and right to go obtain master degree.

Do you know that lack of jobs actually makes unemployed graduates to go back for master degree with the hope that their chances of getting jobs will increase with master degree? And that's the mistake many of us are making.

Will you take the job if you can't find a good paying one or move on?

Baba do it for a while as that could be a stepping stone, as a graduate I did factory work even though it caused me serious marital problem, wifey always complaing

Will I put needles in my eyes,I really can't say

He should first show you his account balance.
He should also be able to show you his monthly earning (not Photoshop ) pictures of his earning on the online affiliate marketing platforms he uses.
If not e go end in tears.

your right

tradepunter:
Guy go get a skill, I gave friend who is a graduate some cash to go learn mechanic work for car and generator instead of settling for a 30k job.

Now he's done and he is getting 4-6 repair jobs daily.

Don't limit your mind and yourself, there are some type of money you shouldn't touch because it will affect you psychologically.

If you are in Lagos there are many construction sites, lifting block or sand will earn you 2-4k daily depending on location. This is lot better because you can package yourself with proper working gear such as helmet, illuminated vest and construction booth.

You are a fking master's graduate, education should be about your thought process in finding solutions not confining to the norm.

Think deep and find solution to your problem rather than begging for alms in form of job.

you ain't told no lie bro. I usually tell people that after uni in Nigeria is when you will know the true definition of "SO HELP ME GOD" at the end of the national pledge.

No joy for Nigeria at the moment.

But if you can equip yourself with 21st century hot skills or handword then you will live fine in Nigeria.

If you are jobless, go and learn importation here www.spreaditglobal.com, combine it with facebook and instagram ads...find a hot product to import into the country, brand it and start selling....no time to check time.

Diversify profits into logistics(2 bikes can fetch you 10k daily in Lagos) and food business.


In Nigeria, don't try to re invent the wheel, just do brick and mortar business... No time.
Na you go tired to make money.

Use your time to watch YouTube videos from 12am - 5am...stay hungry...stay foolish...

There's money to make selling products and offering services....

Throw that certificate away and hustle like an orphan.

walkwithgod:
I don't know where you at, but you need to understand that in Nigeria, your location / environment is a major factor in how your life will eventually shape out financially.

Either move to lagos or abuja, e get why.


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat, ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...

How do I contact you bro?
This sound interesting to me to start up something

Mr seer. Happy seeing ooo!

FalseProphet1:
By 2023 the Nigerian government will no longer be able to effectively pay salaries of civil servants due to corruption, I see more than 80% of Nigerians being jobless because the private sector cannot absorb them all. This I have seen.

Between 25k and nothing , I choose 25k

Your qualifications qualifies you to be a slave.

Some qualifications are skills on their own.

Randy100:
Any Msc holder that is receiving 25k as salary has no respect for himself and the degree he holds.

You absolutely right.

You have a point in that case...starting a business after a first degree instead of going for masters. I was only saying instead of acquiring skills as suggested, if you had the opportunity of a 25k job, why not stick to it and see more opportunities could come your way? You could even save to acquire the needed skills while on that 25k job, as in my case. Most of those little paying jobs you see have some hidden opportunities

On the job training would be a plus as far as experience is concerned and it brightens your chance of getting a much better one elsewhere too

This job I am on currently paid me 60k even with my MSc for starters 5yrs ago.. and I stayed on that pay for 2yrsz working over 5roles at the organisation..

At times, you'll have to leave that MSc glorification and hustle like you have nothing.

With this present economy, don't take that job please.

25k wouldn't last a week

I can never take such job but would accept the offer just to gather an experience that would be beneficial to me in the nearest future.
