A friend of mine is willing to reduce the level of unemployment in his own capability, so If you are tired of sitting at home and ready to start a new life, forward your cv to him now on oyeyemilukmon@gmail.com
Just give it a trial.

KPhantom:
before starting that business, you should ask yourself questions like
1) am I passionate about this particular business? many choose to start a business just because someone else is doing it. If you are a teacher, there is every tendency u love imparting knowledge, starting your own school will be a hit since you knw everything about it. If you are crazy about sports, starting a viewing centre or a bet shop is also a gud idea, if you are IT savvy, you can learn how to be a programmer, if you love fashion, you can learn designing.. don't go and open a school just because john is making money from his school oo. success in business is synonymous to passion(because by the time you are not making any reasonable profit after a year, it is only the passion for the business that can keep u going till you hit your breakthrough), and every area in business is profitable if you are passionate about it.
2) do you see yourself doing this particular business for a long time? ever wondered why first bank have the largest customer's base? They've been in the industry for decades, so the longer the existence of your business, the more profit and patronage you are going to have.
OP hope my talk dey OK? me sef na university aspirant(uniben), and I dey reason viewing centre for school.
Your talk make sense wella bro

Realunclej, this is a brilliant and insightful write-up... I doff my hat for you bro cool
Thank you. I was inspired by some of the recent experience and discoveries I saw when I visited many industrial areas in Lagos. It shows 'boys are not smiling' in the words of Olamide. Many of the companies are living in their past glories. In fact, in many of them the only functional workers are the security. I just feel sorry that many graduates who are 30+ and are still hoping to get a well paying job from these companies should start thinking outside the box and look out for what they can do themselves.

Truckload of motivational crap!!!

You are either born rich or born struggling...First conditions matter a lot! In a country where we say there are no jobs, some young under 20 graduates are getting jobs as soon as they leave school while many who burnt the midnight candle, developed themselves and are doing what they can to break out of lack are still struggling. Why? One of the reasons is that they come from well placed families in the social strata.

Time and chance happens to us all...You can follow all the motivational theories, that's what they are 'theories', and still be as poor as you were! Uncertainty is high in this country and ever since the thread this country has been hanging on, oil, started having issues, the uncertainty has risen to astronomical heights.

In a country where rules are not just bent but broken, survival may imply not just breaking the law but grinding the law to power...So you either stick to God and be the patient dog or you play by the unlawful rules of the streets and get rich quick. Both paths have costs and both have rewards...

You have a really strong point and I agree. However you could have started out without the crap bit.
Search facebook for "Job Links Nigeria" and find current recruiters. Information is key.

Yes. No immigration officer can check the knowledge in your head.No armed robber can steal it.While you can't transfer your certificate to your children you can transfer your skill. Try and sell your certificate now!

That's true talk. I kept my certificate long ago but today If I lost everything, I can start with nothing. Thanks to the investment in my personal capability. At least, in the past five years, I have spent minimum of 5 hours reading or writing or researching everyday. That volume of book will become a walk in the pack especially if you enjoy what you are reading.

4k per month for me oh.But i loved the job seriously. I was able to do a lot of practicals with his vsat and that was where i learnt networking and some hacking. I later got a job with the state government.The only question i was asked during the interview was "what can you do with computer"? and i just poured the whole experience.But i must start my own biz seriously.

To me I will take it like you were more like an Apprentice while your uncle was just reimbursing you. It is possible you are getting other incentive from him. That was a nice way to get valuable skill for less because you will likely pay to learn that elsewhere. Meanwhile you will need entrepreneurial experience and knowledge to start your own business. You can start small but you can get to your desire height if you are smart about it.

I have come and cross a lot of graduates, they don't want to start little. Everybody want to work in Shell or Mobil. Even though they didn't study anything that relative to oil. Where I am now, the pay is not too much but I need the knowledge to start up my own automobile company after spending six months or a year with them. I will employ a lot of graduates when the time comes. just in the next 7 years
Re: 10 Reasons Why You Should Stop Looking For Job As A Graduate! by EdoBoy90(m): 10:02pm On Aug 16, 2016
I am a mechanical engineer but someone that studied automobile engineering can't dare me in ICEs that is vehicles. I have the practicals as a hands-on mechanical engineer with the company I am working with now and Google is my friend. It has put food on my table a lot and my boss like me a lot because I am informed. Some engineers will just fold their hands and be shouting no jobs.
