There's no two ways that unemployment is responsible for most of the crimes committed by young ones. I was there and I know it.

I used to do pilfering/petty theft to help myself. Even on this forum, I used to beg or try to swindle people to get any little financial favour just to survive because I didn't have a job.

Could you believe since I got a job (to God be the glory), none of such thought ever crossed my mind again?

With this, I wante to say every bad person out there deserve another chance with a job.

Develop the habit of saving now so that you will always have something set aside for the future either for exigencies or investment to avoid finding yourself where you are coming from again.

As for unemployment and the tendency to do crime, there are people who prefer being idle/lazy and do crime by the side than working hard for a living.

The bold part is confusing about what you mean, whether unemployment encourages crime or not.

Not at all. Forget it, lack and hunger make people do what they are not supposed to. You won't understand if you haven't been there.
Is this why crime has become worse since 2015- due to increasing unemployment, greater poverty and higher inflationhuh

Congratulations 🍾

At this new job, my advice:

1. Be open minded and learn the core business aspect of it.
2. Don’t steal and be honest in your dealings.
3. Save for the future.

Of course I know govt shouldn't be involved directly in creating jobs..they should just create an enabling environment but since they av also failed in that regard...they should temporarily get involved in job creation since they av the statistics..they know what we are consuming...they know our production limits and what we are able to produce..they have the information. They should create factories scattered all over the country and employ the youths...startimg from where criminals operate and they should monitor it..cos our leaders know how to share things among themselves. Look at what happened to the 700 thousand jobs they shared among themselves months ago.
Government is responsible for job creation. Government manages our national assets, it is their duty to provide jobs

You for use the chance tell us which scams you run for the forum. Are you the bet guy or the one who begs with a cripple’s pictures? Are you the widow whose husband dies every day and needs anything to feed her children? Are you the boy who can’t complete tuition fees and has to write an exam the next day? Are you the one who’s yet to complete his JAMB fees?

A thief is a thief, unemployment is not an excuse.
There are little things that can earn you money, apart from stealing
God bless you my brother. I don't know why people are praising him. He is a thief that just confessed to his crime. Unemployment or not, it's no excuse for stealing

An idle mind is the devil's workshop... the next battle is not getting tired of the job/pay, alongside the urge that the streets would give you better with you being in control of your time.. the urge would definitely come..
This is the current battle in my mind. Don't know how to handle it. I feel there is more out there in the street.

That's why one very important performance criterion of Government is job creation.....I mean real jobs created to feel vacancies created by an expanding economy, not......N-Power.

People need jobs, but our governments keep failing, making those who had jobs to even lose what they had.
Even government understand this. They just don't want to do it. Create employment and kill crime

Learn tailoring, you might just be surprised what it can yield. What tech? Google how many techies got laid off in 2023 and decide for yourself. Tech saturated and keeps getting even more so by the day. Most entry level jobs now require 3-4 years of experience. If contracting, you could go months without a single GIG because no one willing to pay good money will want an amateur just in the industry.
Learn handwork jor.

Sorry u have not changed a bit, the minute your situation goes south u will be back in your old acts. A true test if u have changed is to be in a bad situation and still hold on to your dignity

Nope even in a capitalist system that is why unemployed Americans get unemployment allowance, and that is so in all developed countries. Even in SA once you register as a job seeker you get benefits from the government. It is Government responsibility to provide job

. That's true but it's collected back in various ways..govt can't provide job..ppl just need enabling environment..power supply that is stable and affordable...good transport network ...security to move from place to place and a stable monetary system...all these support job creation without the govt being directly involved in job creation. If govt begins creation of manufacturing plants it would become cumbersome to manage and won't help in the long run..ordinary refinery they cannot manage...nigeria air way ls ruined etc

You stole from people. You're a thief. You swindled people and that was bad. Did you check the employment status of those you swindled and stole from?

Don't blame unemployment. You're a thief. With time you will start swindling and stealing from your employer whenever you have the time and you will always find reasons for your bad character.
