This nation has a very long way to go no wonder we will even prefer to hire white man to come do work here because of experience.

Oga don't deceive yourself, the same people go abroad and they get employed....

If they were enough jobs, some of the criteria you are looking at may not be relevant in your reviews...
Then you ask again what are internships for?

Oga, stop deceiving yourself about the statement in bold alphabets, I know a lot of people that worked menial jobs abroad and returned to Nigeria to become highly powerful economically and loaded with resources. You just have to keep a focus and know what you are doing abroad.

You need to be schooled on earnings abroad even on menial job for you to comprehend what gap exists between the remuneration in Nigeria and USA Canada, UK and other countries.

You cant be in a menial job abroad and come to Nigeria and have economic power.

Please I want to be trained. I really want to

I have trained close to 500 in the past five years. Also majorly here too. I do not charge. I have taken some in to leave with me all end up disappointing to even stealing my items. Only very few have turned up to the moment that my work showed. Those ones have moved on to setup their own businesses. But the percentage is small. Very very small. Majority just want the results and nothing else they don't want to go through the process of getting the results [/quote]

the ability to improve your standard of living in your home country.

A menial worker in Europe can hardly do it when you consider tax and living expenses.

even the girls doing prostitution in europe, do you know how many year it takes them to complete their houses in Nigeria, at the end of the day, they live a normal life when they come home.

We put more effort in academic papers, and less effort in practical skills...
That's why it's easy for us to rush and finish secondary school, university, masters and PhD .. and yet end up not gainfully employed for long .. but funny enough, we can't spare like 2 or 3 years learning a particular skills....
And it's easier to cheat and bribe your way just to get certificate than defend a particular skill..
Many Nigerians are UNSKILLED...
If "Developed" countries sees the needs for and are looking for skilled immigrants, then Nigeria that is "Developing" are under valuing skills, then we still have a long way to go
okay

Very correct,

Even the percentage of unemployable graduate is on high side these days, as many students have mindset of getting the certificate only. Also school setting are not even provide environment to impact knowledge everything is to admit more students and ensure fast academic session.

I think for Nigeria to grow, we need our graduate to be employable and productive

Economic power is the ability of countries, businesses, or individuals to improve their standard of living - simply putting it.

It doesn't necessarily mean I have to improve my standard of living in my country.

Maybe you should have some Nigerians in the advanced countries doing brown collar jobs honestly do the maths for you. They can tell you that it is not easy over there however, life is easier, valuable and improving at faster rate than in Nigeria.

There is nothing greater about remuneration than to see the money you work hard to get translate to improved living standards for anyone.

In Nigeria, you can work so hard for 35yrs in reputable job and end up with little or nothing significant in asset and or properties.

It seems you don't understand what you wrote down.

The discussion was about the individual.

The individual can have economic power if he or she improves on himself.

When you improve on yourself, you get promotion and salaries to have a better life, that is how it works all over the world

Your last statement is a big lie. Most Nigerians that work in a good place all retired well. There are pension schemes for them.

Also when they were working, they had access to mortgages and car loans which made them live the type of lifestyle they want, many are also covered by health insurance for themselves and their family.. so stop writing about something you don't know of, Nigeria is not a perfect place but it works

Nigeria is not working for majority.

How many Nigerians have that opportunity that you described in bold alphabets?

Which ones are the good places; give examples?

Abroad, you don't have to work in good places, you only need to work diligently and you are good for life when you return to Nigeria several years later with a reasonable savings.

Stop trying to fool us.

You are the one trying to fool everyone.

Government workers and many workers in private organizations all have pension schemes, mortgage and car loans and health insurance with an approved Nhs service providers.

Infact some organizations and government institutions still provide nhs services to their retirees.

You just wrote that abroad, you dont need to work in good places and you are made for life, that is not true. You have to work in a good private firm in the western world to get a good pension.

State pension in the uk is 134 pounds per week, so how is this person going to have a better life in nigeria after retirement.

Retirees in the white collar jobs in the US, when they return to Nigeria can have a better life in Nigeria, those from europe are worst off in Nigeria, that is fact. Most blacks in Europe are working menial jobs and earnig maybe 800 euros per month. I know someone who sent 50 euros as contribution for his mother burial and you are here painting europe as heaven on earth.

If this is true then explain why the workers are still quiting their jobs and leaving the country for better life, - "Government workers and many workers in private organizations all have pension schemes, mortgage and car loans and health insurance with an approved Nhs service providers". I have seen several managers of banks quit their jobs to Japa. I have seen oil company staff quit their jobs and japa.

Car loan is still payable from your salary, in Nigeria and abroad. Health Insurance is standard practice in many countries, especially in the advanced countries (where your fellow Nigerians dey japa to reside and work) provided you have work permit in that country.

Pension Schemes in Nigeria is a topic for another day. I strongly feel it is skewed in favor of government, pension fund administrators, owners of the PFAs and banks. How do you explain someone having a lot of money in pension account that he can't access in his youthful days to do business or investment considering the time value of money but can only access it after 55 years of age upon retirement. Even if the person is out of job for long(minimum of 6 months), he or she can only collect 25% of his accumulated savings once in the period before he or she becomes 55 years. Leaving government and PFA owners a pool of funds to touch anytime they wish with some justification that they are paying a cheap and ridiculous interest to the employee on the fund. Come-on.

Do you wanna compare health insurance in Nigeria with health insurance in USA, Europe and Canada, for instance, don't just go there.

About the earnings of Nigerians in brown collar jobs in Europe, you can't compare it with earnings in Nigeria. You should check the hour rate for employment in European countries to understand the potentials in working in the Europe, USA, Canada, Australia etc.

I don't care what you think about those working and hoping to Japa. They have so many reasons to Japa; those reasons are results of the Nigerian government poor policies, management, selfishness, carelessness and failure.

Guess what? The Nigerian government is perpetually in the business of failing, frustrating, punishing, eroding the value of life of the masses.

I will no longer respond to you because you have a choice to stay back in Nigeria and live that life you so desire to live. Just don't discourage people that really want to Japa with your deceptive concept designed to keep them impoverished and unwealthy. They also have a choice to improve the standard of their lives and be equal or better than you and lots keeping this Nigeria down.

I am not against anyone going abroad.

I am actually replying you to counter your lies.

Nigeria is not a perfect place but people are also having a better life here.

Some workers are traveling abroad because they are misinformed, a bank manager leaves his job for abroad, only to come abroad and stay at the bottom of the food chain, he starts regretting and then wishes to come back to Nigeria but it is too late because he has resign from his or her job and have to start all over again.

With regards to pension schemes in Nigeria, you obviously don't know anything about it, how is it skewed in favour of the government, how?

The laws says, all employers must deduct some percentage from their employee salaries and remit to the employee PFA of their choice, then how is it in favour of the government, PFA are private firms not government entities.

Your pension isn't meant for business in your youthful days, it is meant for your retirement and you can actually withdraw some percentage of it if you lose your job.

In Nigeria, the law says a worker can access 25 per cent of the savings in his RSA, if he loses his job and does not get another after four months.

Health insurance are cheap in Nigeria, in the US, medical care is expensive, in Europe it is free but the waiting period is hell, in Nigeria,accessing healthcare is cheap and fast. During covid, lot of Nigerians abroad came back home for treatment, not only covid, many Nigerian living abroad do come back home to receive medical care, ivf is booming in Nigeria because it is expensive abroad.

On the issue of menial workers, the work rate are low and many menial workers can't afford a better life like their counterpart in Nigeria. Many menial workers living abroad have to work over time to make something tangible,also their salaries can't subtain them if they have a partner that is why they need their spouse to work and share the bills which most times bring conflict.

In the western world, if a man salary is enough to take care of the family, in many cases you don't see the wife working, she becomes a full time house wife, many Nigerians living abroad don't fall under that category,only a few do, infact for menial job workers abroad, it is hard. That is why they need a 2 income home.

In Nigeria, it is possible, a man can take care of his family with his income and the wife don't need to work.

And once again, I am not discouraging anyone from going abroad.
