Is It A Curse To Be A Nigerian? A Lamentation Of An Unemployed Graduate by KMJY(f): 4:22pm On Sep 28, 2021
Straight to the point:
1. After navigating the huddles of the intellectual temple, transversing the valley of industrial action that keeps you in school more than the stipulated year, you graduate and the government and private companies tell a job seeker that:

a. Don't apply if you are above 30 years

b. Only those who graduate in 2017 will be employed. Graduates from 2016 downwards need not apply.

c. Who is your God father? (You must know a senator or any politician for that matter) if not, you stand no chance.

d. You must pay a huge sum running into hundreds of thousands before you are considered. In the process of bribing your way through, you sometimes fall into the hands of corporate fraudsters.

e. No matter how intelligent you were in school, nobody will look at your certificate twice (after all people buy grades in school).

IMPLICATIONS

1. Graduates who came out with First class, second class, upper credit division (poly) students are rendered useless by the system.

2. Some youth go into crime out of frustration just to meet ends meet.

3. The number of unemployed graduates keep piling every year.

4. No future for the youth.

VERDICT
1. Why are our politicians so wicked? Why would they allow us (unemployed youths) to be at the mercy of self-seeking, selfish-centered/avaricious heads of government MDAs? The president cannot claim to be ignorant of the high rate of corruption going on in this MDAs except of course it has chosen to let the youth remain where we are.

2. If at all politicians have hijacked recruitment processes in the country, would it be out of place for government to at least consider graduates who graduated with flying colours from various institutions of learning? The way government treats outstanding graduates in this country isn't fair, I must say that it discourages hardwork since mediocres believe they can manoeuvre their way through irrespective of the grade they graduated with. Personally, I have reached a state of dispondency watching the guys I was coaching in the university backing juicy and lucrative jobs while I am fading out as class teacher receiving a paltry sum that cannot even sustain me for two weeks.

Please tell the president to come to my aid and those in a similar situation as myself!

I will never belittle or mock anybody, but i think you deserve whatever you are going through in life with this sort of mentality.

Though you listed some valid points with the corruption crisis facing Sh*t hole Nigeria which is disaster, still From your writeup and IMO, you sound like an envious & entitled person. Also, you seem proud cause you apparently got a good grade from the University and feel you are better than the next man because of that feat.

If you had the power tomorrow who knows if you would act worse with this discriminatory outlook.

Continue to live in your fantasy bubble, friend.

After you graduate with First Class Uppers, you will now go and learn barbing.

Sir, I want to believe you read where I mentioned all graduates who are in the same position as myself. I was never speaking for myself alone but for everyone in my shoe. Stating that I feel entitled is a misnomer coz I believe you'll neither want yourself, your brother or son be in a similar situation as most Nigerians are. It's unfair to attack a person who wants a change for the system that abhors hardworking people. With this statement of yours, you've given me every reason to believe that you and your type are the reason why this nation keeps deteriorating on a daily basis.
