Many of them are here being a constant nuisance daily.

But really, there's a lot of avenue to make decent living in this country because it's a large market. Just have a good trading idea and follow through with vigour and not be shy with it.

I SEE THE FORMATION OF UNLC (UNEMPLOYED NIGERIAN LABOUR CONGRESS)
I SEE THE DISSOLUTION OF NLC
I SEE DESERTED COMMUNITIES AND HOMES
I SEE COLLAPSED VALUES
I SEE UNSAFE AND IRREGULAR JAPA
I SEE MARGINAL JAPADA
I SEE HARD DRUG BOOM

THESE I HAVE SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

what is the working population of Nigeria and how many youths are in Nigeria?

Well all political criminals in the name of politics and politicians should see to that, than just thinking about themselves and their families alone.

Hmm, that's a cause for serious concern.

A keg of gun-powder. No wonder the level of insecurity is increasingly high...

Personally I feel the figure is even more than that. I am one of the unemployed youth of this nation. It's very sad finding ourselves where we are.

See what the federal government in power has caused..it's a pity

Big2nelson:
How will they be employed?
Most of these geaduates lacks what it takes to be employed.
I conducted more than a thousand interviews in the last one year and I feel sorry for the future of our country..
Imagine telling applicants to write something simple and they are using abbreviations!
Phones are supposed to be a blessing but curse to most Nigerian youths

Oga, rest! For every unemployable 6, there are 3 employable applicants. You are only focusing on those that are unemployable. Take a walk down your street and see the number of brilliant minds without jobs.

What is happening to Nigeria is beyond unemployability; the problem is that the jobs aren't just available. I don't even want to talk about the number of people doing their second-best jobs.

This Tinubu government believes that all is good.
80 million youths unemployed!

This APC government dey increase tax on everything.
Borrow and thief the money.
Policies wey dey tighten the noose of hardship for the common people neck.


Tinubu nor dey try.


Seun!
You fit ban me for saying the truth.
I nor send.

And this isn't funny but who are going to hold responsible for this?

Very important to look for genuine alternatives especially from online. In this computer age, many legit ways to earn online. Some youths are not ready for this

The usual suspects will still come and defend this one.

Many of them are here praising their oppressors and urging them to pilfer their resources. Oshodi axis use to have many industries, most of them today are churches. Same with Otta, bad roads has forced them to close shops. Every junction in LAGOS now have young men doing and drinking their futures away, collecting owomida.

True but it's not only southwest Lagos butost busy states in Nigeria, especially onitcha

This is one of the evils holding Nigeria to ransome today. But paid online supporters like Reno will not say what they are doing to remedy the situation. Only loans so more unemployed youths would be churned out and join the already intimidating numbers.

Entrepreneurship is the way forward , don’t dull yourself looking for white collar jobs.


You’re only okay yourself and setting yourself up for destruction.

The birth rate in Nigeria has to be controlled.. youthful population is getting high ..a country with overpopulated youths whom majority are not engaged or working it's not good for the country

You mean one helinues like that?

No wonder we have so many Armed Robbers and Kidnappers in Nigeria

Faulty dataset.

How do they track unemployed youths in Nigeria?

They just pulled data from the air to deceive gullible Nigerians solely for political reasons.

That is why Nigeria should be a producing economy.. government should provide a conducive environment for businesses, companies, industries to thrive and also attract foreign investments.. provide constant electricity light supply to boost businesses

Hmmm ....must everything be exaggerated? ...80 million youths unemployed. At what age does youth end? ... because Obi is considered youthful ... Tinubu described in his campaign as still having a lot of youth left...so who really are these youths? When we look at our youth leaders and representatives .... potential grandfather aged people . One may think in this case youth means like under 25 . If so ...population of 240 million ... 80 million youths unemployed....how many are employed?.... 40 million?.... that's 120 million. How many are at school? ....110 million?.... that's 220 million . How many are below school age? .... 10 million?...240 million. How many adults are employed? ...40 million? .... that's 280 million. How many adults are not employed? ... 20 million? ....300 million. So what is our population? These people cannot make a point without exaggerating numbers....just be pulling numbers out of thin air.

It's more than 80million if you factor in the ones doing unstable jobs that can lay them off any day or time.


The figure should be around 155 million Nigerian youths are unemployed, and around 10 million underemployed.


Even people like Peller are unemployed, if you add such youths and those employed by Yahoo Yahoo to the number, you maybe arriving at 190 million unemployed youths.

If you laff for this kind matter again, we go call those pipu you dey talk about to tie and flog you o.

Yéyé man🤣🤣🤣

And the useless ojuyobo keeps travelling.The useless man in Aso Rock has made 15 foreign trips in 2025.What exactly is he travelling up and down for?If the idiot use the money build factories across Nigeria,tackle insecurity so farmers can go back to farm,make power steady and bring down the price of fuel, things will have been far better.Pastors too dey one side dey misbehave.All those big churches wen dem dey build everywhere why not use it to build something that will benefit boys on the streets.The country is in a complete state of quagmire.It is not well at all

Maybe true....

But I'm sure more than that number are currently underemployed.

But the same people go abroad and are getting jobs and also performing well.

Quick Maths but a Caveat to note before procession; this isn't an attempt to rubbish the claim of unemployment.
The figure right there is unrealistic and an hyperbolic aggrandizing mammoth. What's Nigerian Population according to census to now claim we have over 80 million unemployed youths?
Abeg easy with the exaggeration.

If Nigeria has up to 80 million unemployed youths, Nigeria as a country will collapse in less than 3 months.

This information is not only unrealistic, it is annoying at the same time.

What is our total population.

How many are within the working range, after removing the elderly and those below 18 years, do you want to tell me one third of the population dont have any engagement to acquire funds.
This is a big fat lie.
The society would have collapsed if this was true .
Incase you are not aware self employment is employment

But out of that 80 Million plus, recruit 50 Million Youths into the Army

What they will eat?

Cassava, agbado, corn in the morning, Yam in the afternoon, it's growing here.

You create demand and consumption.

Problem solved

Menopausal women like Abike Dabiri are everywhere now ...so sad that they are shouting sophisticated progressiveness aimlessly.

OnionBandit:
Definitely exaggerated even though I agree that the number of unemployed youth is alarming. It's a serious problem in itself, with far-reaching effects including an increasing number of single women in menopause and rising crime rates.
