How did they conclude. Unemployment is rife and should be around 30%
Re: Nigeria’s Unemployment Rate Compared With Selected African Countries (2024) by Martartins(m): 5:05am On Jan 22
Nigeria unemployment rate should be 50% by now. It has stood at 35% since Yar adua

Unemployment is the state of not being in paid employment or self-employment but currently available for work.

The last Nigerian unemployment rate computed almost 2 years ago, was intentionally wrongly calculated by the NBS.

Remember the country is still the undisputed poverty capital of the world
Nigerian Lecturers (professors) are the lowest paid in the world.
Nigerian Minimum wage is the lowest in the entire world.

Religious centers to industries are 10,000: 1 ratio in Nigeria

And you say the rate is still 3.5%?
You just contradicted yourself all in an attempt to bash the system.

Unemployment is being engaged.
Unemployment is not about your income.
You know it but you won't accept the truth.
Hate for truth is a general problem you lots have

He plainly stated the source, but because the figures offend your preferred worldview, you suddenly develop an urgent interest in methodology. Now it’s not just the source, it’s how exactly he arrived at these figures. Complete with furrowed brows and sudden statistical expertise.

Yet let one exasperated soul post the exact opposite on Twitter, without a source, a footnote, or even a coherent thought, and you will instantly endorse it. You’ll weaponize it as fresh ammunition to insult every living, non-living, and metaphysical creation known to mankind, all while breaking into loud hymns of praise for Pitobi, the revered Agulu oracle of unquestionable truth.
that's your IMF stats for unemployment rate in the country, so nobody should whine us.

Even you that wrote all these things you don't believe it but you just have to defend the government you support or your payment. They are different sources that gives employment statistics and I am sure that many others will give some thing much bigger than this one.

South africa does things differently from other Africans. They don't consider you employed if you are not in the formal economy where you can be taxed. Infact they pay you unemployment benefits because you are considered unemployed even if you're a taxi driver cashing in every day ,the government will pay you monthly for your upkeep.

Stop supporting mediocrity and frame it as being sensible, SA has a high unemployment because the whites made university education too cost that the blacks can't get a degree, despite this SA is a formal economy, no shops by the roadside or hawking, and most people are well employed with so many companies there.


Now in your country everyone has to build a shop in front of thier house because of no job.

Think oga Think.
U live in an informal economy, a failed one where ur senate laughs at the poor masses and the leaders care 0.000 about your next meal. Know this n know peace
Stop talking what you know nothing about.

And lastly ,South Africa has what they call Nffas. Google it. It's free education for blacks and coloreds. Infact the whites pay more education than blacks. And the South African Universities are government owned not run by whites.

Government manipulated data. Simple stats they can be real with, they will manipulate it like INEC election results. In the last 20 years, Nigeria has created zero industry, aside dangote refinery; too, millions of graduates are produced every year, in addition to non formal jobless youths rooming the streets. FAKE DATA. EVEN THE BLIND CAN DISPUTE THAT DATA. Nigeria unemployment data should be over 70%, just to be fair. This is the truth.

This are part of the beneficiarys of the useless 9 million dollars they paid to keep telling lies about Nigeria image to Trump.
Useless and baseless figures.
What you practically see in the streets is enough to tell you the unemployment rate of Nigeria.
What you see are a bunch of very lazy young people hoping to buy house in lekki without working.

Am not warped as a zombie to follow your senseless rantings. This is a social space. Face intellectual submissions with counter facts and stop acting childish. Now NBS has not released stats for a long time. So which data did ILO relied on for this ranking? Now answer before you are celebrating 2024 obs
If the same ILO had published 75% as Nigeria unemployment rate, you would have been jumping 🦘 up and down joyfully at the news.

I have said my own bro💁‍♀️. If you believe a South Africa that is more industrialized and attracts the most immigrants around the continent has more unemployed people than collapsed countries who export their people there ,then be my guest.

You call these people that left their homes to search for their daily bread on the streets lazy?

He did not say they are on the streets carrying brown envelope up and down looking for job, they are on the streets trying to hustle for their daily bread.

If you think there's no God, which could therefore make you not have conscience, or lost your humanity, you better change the mentality

That you are in the privileged 0.001% does not give you the right to castigate struggling less privileged Nigerians on the streets.

Beware, be careful what you wish for
God can just turn your own tables upside down overnight

Aside from that
There's large-scale boko terrorists attacks and kidnappings every blessed day in Nigeria of which the Nigerian government at various levels are very proud of, I neva hear of such news coming from South Africa.

Again you can hardly find South Africans in Nigeria, because they don't rate Nigeria.

Since you don't read bad news about your country I know you are sad. You don't make progress when you always look for the downfall or misfortune of others. Can't you see you are shrinking?

Please do not speak for God, God forbids that. You clearly misunderstood my comment, and Scripture warns against this: “Who are you to judge another man’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls” (Romans 14:4). Focus on your own life and speak with wisdom nexy time.

No mind the 30 000 online warriors. They don't know lying to yourself doesn't change the trajectory of the country ,it makes it worse or stagnant. Such Nigerians with such empty pride really make you less optimistic that Nigeria would be better than the working countries in Africa.

Do you know why nigeria has low unemployment rates compared to countries like South africa is because most nigerians mainly engaged in informal economic activities which can lead to inefficiency,low productivity, maltreatment,harassment and exploitation of employees unlike South africa that is mostly run by formal economic activities.
