Ebierensima:
As a tired Nigerian youth, the issue of unemployment in Nigeria is not just a topic, but a harsh reality that affects my daily life.

Despite having a good education and skills, I struggle to find a job that matches my qualifications.

The high level of unemployment has left me and many other young Nigerians feeling hopeless and frustrated.

It seems like no matter how hard we try, the system is rigged against us, and opportunities are scarce.

The government's efforts to address the issue have been lacklustre at best, with policies and programs that have not produced tangible results.

It's time for the government to take real action and prioritise creating job opportunities for the youth.

Schools should change their academic curriculum to include more subjects in entrepreneurship so that in the event of not getting a job after spending years in school, one can still survive and make a living.

Until then, we will continue to be a generation stuck in a cycle of unemployment and poverty.

Talk about Lack Of Skills too.


I go online and I see tweets and see how plenty youths Lack Critical Thinking in the things they believe or Jubilate about.

There are jobs every where. Skillset to fill the jobs are not available.

With the level of Japa in the banking Tech industry, you can literarily walk into their IT department and get a job immediately.

Try and acquire skills.

The course u study in school does not matter, If you acquire software development skills, quality assurance, data analysis, business analysis etc and any skills in technology, u will get a job sooner than u expect..

When everyone in a country needs to be around IT to make a living, then the country is broken.

I am a software engineer by the way but you folks should stop these individualist ideas we need systemic changes in Nigeria.

We need to demand good governance, that the little money we have as a country is not looted by the few. We need to stop celebrating people like Obi Cubana, Elumelu, Dangote etc.

Not only that, we don't have a judicial system so issues like fraud sink business as they have no legal recourse. We don't have security, so crime sink businesses. We don't have electricity so the extra cost of own and maintaining a generator sink businesses.

Ona too sabi blame government, you think going to school, getting a degree or looking for a high pay job is the solution to financial problem? But hell NO. Work hard, there are people with no degree working on some low pay job of 20k - 30k monthly and as time goes by save up to start as little as minimum and with time you see dem getting the bag, you think life is easy. People start from bottom to top and nobody is responsible for anybody. If you have to mix cement, fuckin mix cause the government ain't your family and even your family members gat their personal shit going on too. The most problem with people (1) is fear of failure (2) not wanting to start small.

Nigerians like you are why the country is in the gutters. When there is no electricity, no portable water, no roads, no trains and no security, how do you think businesses will grow and thrive?

Do you think we all need to hustle more to fix roads and buy trains for the country? Get real ogbeni

Posts like this boil my blood. The unemployment rate in Nigeria is at about 29% , it is about 3% in Canada.

Tell me something, you think that young Nigerians don't think outside the box but Canadians can?

As long as we have people like you that don't recognize we have a systemic problem, unemployment will only continue to increase

At the end of my post I acknowledge the fact that gov, inflation and other economic vices is a challenge but while advocating for better governance we shouldn't sit down and fold our arms, the struggle must continue and hope one day for break through

1. It's not government job to provide you jobs rather government is supposed to provide enabling environment. Waiting for government is tantamount to failure.

2. Majority of youths in the 20th and upwards generation don't want to learn a trade, go to those during handiwork you rarely see them have work boys the youths don't want to get their hands dirty.

3. Many of us refuse to learn from our parents. My mother owns a shop and I served her 10years I have 10years experience in marketing and human relation, I can sell shit and feaces to anybody from what I have learned.

4. We blame everybody but ourselves, government no give me job, why are my parents poor, my school refused to give me necessary skills etc. Stop complaining go out there and fix ur poblem.

5. Unable to think out of the box. I don't take nonsense from any employer I am ready to resign if the working conditions aren't favourable because I learned 3 trades I can venture into, I can also use my handiwork to make a living.

6. Fear of the unknown. This has incapacitated many people, what if I fail, what if I loose well there is a saying "no risk, no reward" try to take risk and God willing even when you fail you have learned to do better again.

7 certificate. Many graduates think because they went to school they can't do a certain job, because people will.laugh at dem. My first million idea came from paupers who showed me a problem and I decided to abandon my certificates, got dirty and today it's a success story.

8. Not moving with the right crowd. Stop I want to go to unilag, and work with Chevron and start thinking about problems in your society and solution you can provide and cash out from.

There are others, the country is hard and inflation is biting hard, white collar jobs are diminishing but their are opportunities available all around us, find a problem in ur immediate environment and a cost effective solution and cashout.

These are theories. Easier said than done. One singular government policy can crash whatever business idea you come up with. That is the reason we clamour for good governance. Just as an Example is the POS business that was almost destroyed as a result of the recent cash confiscation policy.

Now let's go practical and be realistic. I run businesses in Nigeria so one of the biggest problem we face is government policies. If as a man in Nigeria you finally have a business idea today. The government will tell you in plain terms that it does not have any policy or plan in helping you start out. Not even with the assistance of low interest loans. So you are left to sort out cash from God knows where. Say you finally somehow got assistance from a Family member and you open the business. In a week time, government officials will come there and tell you your business is substandard and they will threaten you to shut it down. How does the government expect someone without government assistance to start up a standard business in today's economy? This cut across every sector. As a result of this problem people resort to bribing the officials so their business will not be shut down. There is a solution to this problem. Fortunately or unfortunately, it is a political one. And the earlier we all realise the government is the cause of unemployment the better. Government ( state government) can create Jobs by making the environment friendly to business just starting up. This will motivate people to start up jobs

The same reason I will never let my born or unborn child step a foot in Nigerian universities. After the struggles I underwent yet no befitting job was ever secured.

I always advice people to let their children go to an institution where practical training would be made a priority to pure theoretical part, like school of nursing for girls child, IT Tech schools. Etc. so that they will not need to be struggling for unavailable jobs after graduation. They can establish and become legal stake holders in the country on their own. University is just uni on paper.

It's going to get worse. US just announced that those on visitor's and tourists visa can now seek for employment and interview for Jobs. If successful, you now have to change to work visa.
Anybody that has opportunity to travel to US on tourist visa should utilize this opportunity before it cast o. I have already told my unemployed nephew to apply for visitors visa and pray that it becomes successful. He has been at home for more than nine months after nysc. The unemployment situation in Nigeria is becoming an epidemic.

Stop advising people to go abroad. USA, Canada and UK are finished. Ask Nigerians there, just ask them. They're suffering. They can't even find proper job, most of them work in petrol stations, they're cleaners and mortuary attendants. The few that do have jobs are taxed heavily and after paying so many bills, there's NOTHING left. That's why people in those countries have ZERO savings. Go and ask o, abroad is simply a living death. Ask anyone of them to bring out $500 and they will start crying.

Nigeria is the place to make it. Just pick and master a good skill and within a year you will be swimming in money. Oga abeg, no let soap enter you eye as you de swim inside river abeg.

I always say that the first help gov renders to you is enabling environment which Nigeria gov has failed partially, then tax policy is how gov officials greet you, multiple taxation in all forms.

But people still succeed against all odds. The country is not too favorable but we must surge on and do everything to succeed

The day FG introduced the program called SAED (Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development) to Graduates to do during their one year compulsory National service, that was when I knew there was no hope for graduates in this country again.


These are Graduates who have spent minimum of 4 years in higher institution getting a B.SC/HND, that was when I knew there was no hope again.

Some in the Health and Engineering field spend more than 4 years, yet the FG shamelessly came out to tell them that they have wasted their money, time and effort and they should go and learn baking and sewing.

E no go better for our bad government.

Yet some unemployed graduate youths still went and voted for APC

That's true but you can anchor with someone to raise capital.

If you are true to yourself, there are many ways to raise a capital.

For instance : A friend learnt a trade. After, he went to the village and his dad sold part of their family land, gave him the money to start the business. Today, he has his own land and house in the city.
