Apc is a calamity and a disaster.

Don't expect anything good to come out from this evil government, they are just building generational wealth for their lineage.

If you are reading this my comment and you are among those that voted for this useless government....God will keep pushing you.

You are just typing nonsense

There are several 80k, 100k, 120k CALL CENTRE JOB at Ikeja, by the time he goes to Opebi, Adeniyi Jones, etc he will get a job in Lagos within 3 hours

Some of you will finish school and start looking for 200k to 500k job

Why not start from 80k monthly and stop complaining nonsense

The question he should have asked is...did I choose the wrong leaders out of sentiments ? Believe it or not,the kind of leaders any country produces determines her prosperity. Buhari may not be perfect but never a corrupt or wasteful leader like Tinubu. Those convoys and inflated contracts won't happen under Buhari's watch. He wore old babariga for months before being forced to replenish his wardrobe. Wecsaw his furniture in Daura each time.

The yatch buhari rejected was paid for by Tinubu. How many times have they used it? No meaningful programme for youths

I was without a job for seven years. My popcy, with all his connections, kept saying, "You need an MSc that's what's slowing down my efforts." So I did my MSc, and still, I remained jobless. I had to drive Uber for four years.

Eventually, I landed a driving job on a U.N./NDDC project, driving the State Coordinator of the project. Since then, the job has been lucrative truly well paying. During the interview, they asked me, with all my qualifications, if I was still willing to accept a driver's job. Of course, with four years of Bolt experience, I thought, what could be worse than driving?

The stated salary was 50k, but trust me, I earned more than 500k per month, and in some months, over N1.5 million. I've been able to buy a piece of land and will soon start the foundation.

Many graduates are waiting for Shell, Total, or a federal government job. Meanwhile, that job with a small title might just be your breakthrough.

That's the sad reality of the country

Go n develop yourself

Brendaniel:
Since you decided to use the military as a mark for the highest passion to serve the country, why haven't you done it?

Are you not interested in serving your own country passionately?

If you claim that anyone who is not in the military are not serving the country passionately, why are you you doing it?

or you don't love Nigeria enough to serve it passionately?

This above post perfectly illustrate , why majority of Nigerian youth are un employable according moniepoint CEO.

Did I say, I am Un employed, a person crying about employment and you said he passionately served the country through NYSC and iam asking to ur daft brain one more time , why cannot he passionately serve the country in military.
Instead of lamenting on social media .
Where daft brains like u gather around .

So in simple terms you are saying it is only unemployed people who should be passionate about serving the country because they are jobless?

I tink no getting a job years after school is everywhere around d world.D difference in naija situation is our minimum wage is way too small making lower jobs like bar tending,security wit security company n secretary irrelavant n unattractive. Abroad u see graduates doing waiter job n being able to rent a house n feed.everyone frm uni seems to want white collar job becos our minimum wage is terrible n most menial jobs dont even pay up to d terrible minimum wage

imagine as a barman you are being paid 40/50k how would you survive now graduate for the matter

Come to think of it even APC haven't done that much in their almost 4 years.....

Waiting for a government job is like waiting for government to provide drinking water.

You will die of thirst.

In all my decades here on earth, living in Nigeria, I have never drank a drop of government-pumped water. I either bought from Baba Olomi's borehole or pumped my own water .

Yet Tinubu thinks I owe him taxes and water levies..Laughable .

Getting a skill is fine but a graduate becoming a brick layer and Barber doesn't sound cool to me.

I read through all the comments above and I can see some meaningful and practical advice offered by those who were once in similar situation years back and are now doing better.

In the same vein, I read the comments of some people who cannot situate problems properly and will blame federal government or their village people for their inability to get their wives pregnant.

Please note, I am not a fan of Tinubu or APC, I think they have done well in some areas but woefully in many other areas.

That said, 98% of fresh graduates rarely get jobs immediately after service. We have millions of graduates leaving our universities every year and joining those already in the labour market, that shows a very tough competition. Many do not even prepare ahead by learning new skills during holidays. Volunteer to work with experience mentors.

The gentleman has not told us his class of degree and course of study, I was once a fresh graduate, an employee, i also worked in human resources dept and finally an employer.

The perspective changes as I move into each of these stages in life. And wvwry perspective is justifiable.

It is an illusion and very delusional to expect the country to provide job for you. No country has enough jobs to go round. Except where strict communism is the order of the day like North Korea and we all see the quality of life from afar. No one has a say in anything.

Back to the issue, I went through same ordeal as a graduate in the 90's. WAEC Conducted tests for over half a million of us on behalf of this same First Bank, we had several other interviews until we were shortlisted to 80 graduate trainees. and the military was in power then, The last stage of the interview was conducted at the headquarters (Asabia House). A lady ask if i know any one powerful enough to help me stay in the game. That brilliancy is no longer useful, at that stage what they require is either you can get a big business man or woman who can do mega business with the bank or powerful politicians who can move large govt funds into first bank. That was when the new generation banks like Zenith, GTB, Diamond were springing up. I had no one to help and I lost out.

The issue is,millions of graduates have a wrong mindset of what being a university graduate means. Yes, it means you are more enlightened, you can and you should be reasonable in your assessment of issues. However, it is not and will never be a meal ticket.

Most Fresh graduates are unemployable, this young man will remain in the labour market if he doesn't change his mindset, as an employer, we see graduates who know next to nothing wants to be paid 500k or 800k per month. Yet some secondary graduate will do a far better job than them, they do not take the initiative to improve their situation, They are always on Tiktok, facebook, instagram etc to consume content and while away their lives, they detest anything that will take them out of their comfort zones, they are not motivated to learn ,even if it will be a volunteer service that you can add to your CV.

They are unwilling to learn new skills, they do not want to learn any vocational skills, they just want money to spend. There are free courses about anything online, a graduate of any field can do teaching job, including home coaching, can learn new skills free including digital marketing, project management etc online. Can even get remote job abroad.

This guy lack capacity and mindset to help the would-be employer, anyone who cannot improve himself, cannot help the employer, they will be a liability. Employers do not need staff who is desperate for job, they need people who can add value to their company and take it higher. And people who can add value to others usually start from themselves.

Even if he gets a job, he is highly likely going to lose the job with his current mindset. He has a sense of entitlement, that he has served Nigeria well in 9months of NYSC, therefore, he should automatically get a job out of the millions who probably did better. For the same university education he got here for peanut, he will pay the student loan for the rest of his life if it were in America, you may argue about the quality though.

We give too much importance to govt in our lives and that makes the govt feel important and trample on our rights as citizens.

When an average Nigerian realizes that no one is coming to help him, not govt, not family nor friends, his perspective to get up and start doing something legit fot himself will change for the better.

Time is life, 24hrs is not enough to some of us, much less waste 4years waiting. I developed many skills while I was an undergraduates, I learned Hair Cuts (Barbing) for men, floor and wall Tiling, electrical technician, House Paint production and also paint houses, I learnt Aluminum window production & installation in Dopemu, it was the period of transitionfrom louvres windows to Aluminium then, I learn tailoring from my late father and many more then.

I finally went to Automedics in Agidingbi to learn Auto-mechanics even as a businessowner with 10units 40ft trucks. It was very inconvenient for me every evening, including weekends but I had to, because the auto mechanics were ripping me off big time, so to stop that I needed to know more. And the knowledge i got protected me and my trucks afterwards. I bought scanner and I could detect faults and what parts to be replaced.

My point is, your asset is what you know and you can do, not a sheet of paper called certificate. It is the responsibility of every individual to make themselves useful to the society in anyway possible, not the responsibility of the society. There are billions of people all over the world without education of any sort. If you have been one of the few lucky ones to acquire university education, is there a reasonable justification to wait for govt or Nigeria to make yourself useful to the society?

Why does it not sound cool?

What if the goal is to have a chain of branded barbing salon?

A graduate bricklayer can end up becoming a structural engineer or take further career path in any of the numerous fields in the construction industry and be the best in the market.

What is not "cool" is if he remains a bricklayer more than one or two years.

We do not need to look down on little beginning. Dangote said he worked in Kano and Iddo loading beans into trucks. A bricklayer today can buy the same mansion he built for others in years to come.

Where you start doesn't matter, staying too long there is what should be discouraged.

Most Nigerian graduates have nothing to offer aside from their certificates which when called upon to defend it, they cannot even defend it.

Ask the young man what skill he has and hear him tells you he is a graduate.
Try to hold an entrepreneurial conversation with him and you will wonder if he truly is a graduate.

He is my home town Friend ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

A man posted his NYSC discharged certificate online and asked Nigeria if he offended her that for more than 4 years post NYSC without a job., drawing people's attention and reactions to the post with many lamenting of being in the same situation.

Some even described him as a fresher with only 4 years when they themselves have not gotten a job 10-15 years post NYSC.

And I am among the people the unemployment is so affecting in the country. In my case, 5 years now since I finished school, no job. I have been running from pillar to post trying to survival with nothing to show as of today. Right now, I am completely unemployed with nothing to survive on because I lost the little contract job I was doing late last year due to downsizing. Even to eat now, is a big problem. Soap, cream, tooth paste all the very common basics things in life, absolutely everything I can't afford any right now. This is where unemployment put you and you begin to ask the same question the poster ask, "Nigeria, did I offend you?".

You can see the posts and reactions below.

The secret is not to remain redundant. Learn a skill and start off with that not so attractive job. Personally, I taught in a private school for about 4 years before my big break came. The small job facilitated the big break. So whatever is available can be a stepping stone to bigger offers.

It's the results of voting an incompetent president into power

It's the results of voting an incompetent president into power .it's a pity

better go and look for what you can do for yourself by yourself.

The reward for education is the education itself ! ..🤔

The job market in many parts of the world is tough. I am not defending this incompetent Government but these are facts. In the States, UK, Canada, Europe and even Asia, many graduates are struggling to get a job. Many have been unemployed for years before getting a paying job. The main difference is that most of these countries have a social welfare package that helps graduates to manage themselves until they can find their feet unlike Nigeria. My best advice to graduates is to think outside the box, look into content, apply to as many organizations as possible or raise enough capital to start a small business. The job market is brutal out there and it's only going to get worse due to the advent of A.I.

And he fit don collect loan from tinubu government ooh

Learn a skill.

Nigeria of today needs both education and skill set.
