Are you saying construction of roads is not a way of job creation? What about the contractors of these work?

Topic: The government is solely to blame for
high unemployment rate in Nigeria.
Stance: Oppose

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, “each year,
about 1.8m young Nigerians enter into our already saturated labour market.” This incessant increase elicits a lot of unanswered questions as to causes and consequences. I took an envisage look from my vantage points into the situation and came up with these points but before unleashing my convincing points of view, I must register my sincere greetings to those whom it's due.

Chairman of the occasion, inexhaustible moderators, unprejudiced judges, distinguished co-debaters, my untiring readers and audience, ladies and gentlemen, good day to you all. My name is Abdulkareem Abdulmumeen Omotosho, representing the prestigious better by far University, Unilorin in this debate. And solidly opposing the motion which states that the government is solely to blame for high unemployment rate in Nigeria.
To shed more light on the topic for easy digestion of the discourse, some of the wordings in the topic is defined comprehensively thus;


Government; The body with the power to make and/or enforce laws to control a country, land area, people or organization.
Blame; censure
Unemployment; state of joblessness.
Firstly, dismal performance during undergraduate. A graduate wandering endlessly about the streets for job but unfortunately couldn't find any. He became frustrated and started blaming the government for non provision of job opportunity. And do you have any idea to why he wasn't able to secure any? Because this person graduated with a Pass grade. The point here is that before we blame government for unemployment, let's ask ourselves what we are coming out with from higher institution. There's no way one will graduate with first class or even second class upper and won't be preferred to the other who graduates with a Pass grade. We have chance to determine what we want for ourselves after school right from our tertiary institution because despite the ever increasing rate of unemployment, handful of graduates still get good jobs immediately which is as a result of their unmatched performance. Take for instance, in my school, every first class graduate is retained as lecturer. This development goes a long way in reducing the rate of unemployment.


Secondly, sheer dependency. Our youths are over depending. When a baby is born, the responsibility of his proper upbringing is sheerly saddled by the parents till he attains adulthood. This time when he should be independent on any and thinks how to fend for himself yet he still wants to transfer his welfarism from his parents to the government. This is totally uncalled. If we cannot learn to depend on ourselves, if we cannot cater for ourselves, if we see our own duty as the responsibility of others, then, we are beyond doubt, getting involved in the unemployment problem in the country.

Thirdly, laxity of entrepreneurial spirit. Graduates always crave to be someone else boss albeit they should be their own boss. Some argue that they have no knowledge of what it takes to be an entrepreneur. Others digest the fact that being an entrepreneur requires a lot of patience and taking risks which may not be bearable sometimes, coupled with the bottleneck of its yielding. Being self-employed and self established so that one will be self sustained is one of the yardsticks for reduction of unemployment in the country.


Fourthly, nonchalant attitude to petty business, Me? After these stressful years in school, I will now start another suffering by engaging myself in one small scale business. God forbids!! This is one of the causes of incessant increase in unemployment rate. Every graduate needs to be aware that little drop of rain, makes a mighty ocean. They need to know that Rome was not built in a day. Great things are not done usually in a twinkling of an eye. Today, every graduate wishes to work with Dangote. They forget he also started as an ordinary small scale businessman. Had it been Dangote never indulged in small scale business then he might not be as affluent as he is now. Petty trading doesn't only make one to be self efficient, it also endows one with self reliance.


In conclusion, I crave the indulgence of all. Having highlighted the ways the people and not the influence the most the high rate of unemployment. The panacea for the mentioned pitfalls are for students to strive hard for a an exceptional grade during their undergraduate years. Students should also be equipped with good knowledge of entrepreneurs and what it entails during their undergraduate years. Graduates are also enjoined to imbibe the ideology of petty business and stop waiting for white collar jobs which they have no idea when their wait will be over. People should also learn to take responsibilities and stop the being total reliance and dependence on the government because as there are civic rights, there are also civic duties.

My unbiased judges and my distinguished readers, having read this, you must concurred with me that for unemployment rate to reduce to infinitesimal and negligible rate, people not government should be blamed and called to order.

Can we partake

Wow! It's quite laughable that you didn't complete the sentence from which you extracted that question from.

I said why do government promise roads, bridges which they do not eventually build.


In as much as construction of roads tend to provide jobs for the populace but most times, the government do not eventually undergo those constructions as promised.

Tourshaw:



If USA and other developed countries can ensure that their citizens are gainfully employed, what stop our country, Nigeria from the following the same footstep knowing quite well that reduction of unemployment will play a lot of role in helping our economy and seeing to the betterment of the citizens.

This is a blatant lie bro. There's no country, developed or underdeveloped that makes provision for job to all its citizens. Not even USA. Please, if you have evidence for that first statement, it will be appreciated, if not strike through it Sir.
Thanks for your anticipated response.
but if you need proof for mine check out that

As if none of the construction is implemented. Laughable indeed, despite the fact that I tried not to complete the statement because I knew it another flaw from you. You are arguing blindly bro. How could you jump into an incorrect conclusion that they don't finally construct the roads? For your information, endless construction is on going, check out some here.

Hmn, embezzlement may occur in most countries, but that of Nigeria is quite pathetic. Take a look at the recent arm deal scandal, missing NNPC $20 billion and many more corrupt practices. If this funds embezzle were used to improve our industries, like our refineries, Ajaokuta Steel Company, Delta Steel Company etc. I believe the unemployment rate in our country will reduce drastically because jobs will be available for the populace.

There is one thing that we must note is that Nigerians are not lazy. Let's take a look at the number of influx of candidates who applied for the immigration service jobs which led to some of them being stampeded and that led to their death. If Nigerians are lazy, most people would not apply for the job instead they will depend on the government for their food, clothing etc.
Also, Nigerians are not lazy, the incident of Ph.D holders being reported to drive Dangote trunks comes to mind. These are people who have spent their time reading and involving themselves in a lot of research but stoop so low to accept the employment provided by Dangote since they have no means of survival and they can't afford to steal and involve themselves in criminal activities.

Endless construction is going on all thanks to the current administration.

In as much as I will agree with you that construction works are going on but we all know and it's quite obvious that in our county, the government just construct few out of many roads that need repair and possibly construction again.

Can you deny the fact that countless number of people die everyday due to the poor state or condition of our roads. The recent case of Mr. James Ocholi and his family who died in auto crash due to the bad state of our road comes to mind.

Tourshaw:


Are you saying without government provision of employment, the nation will starve to death or what? Do you realize that as there are civic rights there are also civic responsibilities? And you keep repeating line of the government loots as if that really amounts to something. If leaders loot and care less of the welfarism of the common men, won't you do anything. Ok, I understand you, we should just fold our arms and expect manna from heaven
