GeneralShepherd:
Just when I thought I had seen the worst take yet, you come out swinging with 'unis are the backbone of unemployment'

You fake hustlers peddle so much nonsense and give hope to Nigerian youth where there is none.

If your country is poor (which Nigeria is), and lack basic infrastructure like electricity, good road networks, security, and quality education, it's young cannot hustle it to prosperity without the right leaders.

Show me one country that when became rich just because here citizens hustled

YoshihideSuga:
Successive governments have done that only for POS and other mushroom businesses to spring up.

The enabling environment needs to be created so that FDI increases just like in Vietnam, Thailand, India etc., security of lives and properties etc. Investors need to be assured that their investments are safe. The other day, a private equity investor in the agribusiness sector was lamenting that his company has to provide security to protect staff in his portfolio companies when they go to cultivate crops and monitor their farmlands. So tell me, isn't it better to invest in Chile or Brazil where such isn't rampant?

Another is electricity. For crying out loud, why can't Nigeria ensure constant electricity in 2023? At least for businesses to use. Another is ensuring ports across the country especially in the south south work efficiently so that they serve the north east, north central and south east.

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.

MrBroke:
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.

ecomalchemistt:
Life e no easy my brother you duey find your own, me i dey find my own...

No one is coming to save you , you either Hustle or you come here begging for urgent 2k.

If you are currently unemployed or underemployed, you might want to check this out.

Bro can we talk on WhatsApp

Find someone who is doing a business and making sales offline. You’ll find many of them in Onitsha, Computer village, Aba, Alaba, Aspamda, Idumota, etc.
Most of these people have no idea what goes on online. They also do not care what goes on online.


All they care about is making sales and getting
money flowing into the business daily.


This is how i made my first Million selling speakers >

https://www.nairaland.com/7403742/zealot-s67-wireless-speaker-60w

I am not a motivational speaker, I'm a thoroughbred hustler. 💯

I can sell water to a well.


Be their online person.

Bring their business online, and advertise to those who want what they sell.

You will make money doing this.
You’ll make a lot of money doing this.


As a woman, you can open an online shop for that woman selling lace in Aba, and add money on top onto for yourself. That’s your own profit on every sale.
As a guy, you can open an online store store for that man selling computers at Computer village.


Read information from Google and publish content about computers and what people should look out for before buying a laptop.
More people would begin to reach out to you when need laptops.


Reach out to that guy who makes shoes and footwear in your neighborhood and be their online guy.
Promote what they make online and add your own profit.

Look around you, look where others are neglecting, you’ll find a gem.

You can’t afford to be idle for long.
You can’t afford to stay broke.
You can’t afford to continue earning a meagre salary every month.

You don’t need to be a genius to make money online, and have a better life.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

You will make a lot of money.
Not just money...

You will build your confidence.
Your influence will grow, and...
You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself.
You need to start operating smartly.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.
Thank me later when you hit your first M.


I'm giving out some links to free online tech courses , do reach out.

My number in my posts.

nurey:
Infact you are number one

wink2015:
The intelligent way to go is to study for a degree in a university or polytechnic but create time to learn vocational careers in Baking, Tailoring, IT, Carpentry, Manicure and Pedicure, farming, etc

If a Bachelor degree in Business Administration, Public Administration, Philosophy can not earn one a job then face vocational skills.

Parents should not wait for government they should send their children to study for a vocational career while studying for a degree.

If the degree could not give you a job or a decent job then switch to vocational skills.

mikebabs101:
I so much dislike people like you . You want someone on 20k monthly salary to save for the next level or a business right? Seem you are lost touch with reality. That 20k or 30k will barely feed a man in a month , not to talk of transportat, data , rent and other expenses. The sad thing about Nigeria is even if you learn the IT skill, it's no guarantee you will get job anywhere. The best option a sensible youth has got is to learn an IT skill and find a way to move out of the country . Dey there dey give advice of saving for a business or mansion with 20k salary like say you no eat or transport , Abeg comot

Nwaotu10:
Yea. My remuneration is meager and regrettably does not commensurate with the level of education and expertise I possess.
Na 30k i dey collect.

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.

iHart:
You have a skill and you are looking for a job. Why not start a business with the skill?

mikebabs101:
Sorry to say , na rubbish you dey talk . Where the job dey ? Nobody go give you job if you enter bank go dey look for job , they will treat you like lepper. Let's be realistic abeg

AntiWailer:
What skill do you have ?

Let us take you as an example.

If your skill is useful, i wont mind your frustrated 'rubbish u dey talk post'.

i will get you a job, minimum 150-200k per month.

QuinModah:
How much savings do have?

iHart:
Most Nigerians are not broke. Businesses are thriving oh.

judedwriter:
Exactly.....

In Nigeria, we are trained from school to be job seekers not entrepreneurs.

That's a major reason for the mass unemployment and poverty, many are seeking non existent jobs.

GeneralShepherd:
It is an objective fact that more than 50% of Nigerians live in poverty, it's not matter of opinion. Your anecdotal evidence is living in denial. Look around wherever you live, do you think it is normal for underage kids to be hawking goods in traffic?

Ajehkpako4naija:
Bro I feel your pain, I was once in your shoes when I was job hunting in Lagos in 2014. Until I met a friend from the EAST who advised me to go into Biz. I went into agro biz and today, am a millionaire. Most of those guys that interviewed me then and turned me down @ UBA, UAC feel guilty when we meet in traffic's. Bro self entrepreneurship is Key to wealth. Salary peanuts is that form of enslavement that will blind your eyes to financial freedom. Drop that certificate and look for something doing. The labour market is saturated and the few juicy job offers have been hijacked by the ellites. Agro biz is like oil money.. Everyone must eat eggs/chicken, animals must eat and take vaccines and drugs, d

mikebabs101:
Agreed, we should stop living in denial , submission of CV is starting to look like a waste of time. Most youth that seem doing well are living on scam proceeding. I fear for the future of Nigeria
