The 3m spent by your papa wasn't at once, so don't expect to get a job that will fetch you that amount at once.

na 75k my papa spend lol

Rubbish, leave me with my wisdom...
Why won't you accept a job at Kabiru enterprises, when you don't know the difference between ''I'm and Am''...

Sebastine1994:
This one is your cup of tea oh. The problem with you nigerians is that you want to deny everything even in the Face of daunting evidence. Forget this your preaching, the short of it is that there is no job. Why must you always make excuse to justify everything. So I should go and take up a job that pays 4000 a month, just because I want experience. My friend the short of your long tale is that people should get these experience from school. Why should you even work for someone if you are so smart

IF EVERYBODY BE OGA, NA WHO GO SERVE THE OGA? REMEMBER ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL. SO DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. DONT BE TOO WISE?

IF everybody be oga, we would find an alternate. Like robots. This is the excuse some of you use to console your self. You become wage slave all your life. Why not own the company that creates the job. People who are your oga dont have two heads

the first experience as a Nigerian should be ''school industrial training''
In a country where companies refuse to accept students just for I.T....where will they expect u to grab d experience from.
Please....the best way for us is for God to destroy Nigeria and rebuild it.

I beg to disagree. The.word FOOL is relative. Most of the brilliant innovations and inventions were marked foolish, but today we all celebrate them. I can tag ur idea foolish, but later i may celebrate its success.

Hello i av something for you. check ur mail.

Not really

Goldenheart:
So I ve been a fool

kinibigdeal:
Our regular dictionary explains a fool as ''someone who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person'' while same dictionary explains a wise man as someone ''with experience, knowledge, and a good judgement''.

Before i elucidate further, take a look at the following statistics in order to have a clearer picture of where am heading to. A research was carried out by ''Jobstreet journal'' to determine the core reasons why ''Fresh graduates are finding it hard to get a job'' the respondents employed for the research were majorly ''employers of labour''. The findings from the research reveals that 68% of the employers agrees that ''UNREALISTIC SALARIES AND BENEFITS, BEING TOO CHOOSY ON JOBS'' were the two major reasons why fresh graduate couldnt get a job.
http://www.jobstreet.com.my/career-resources/employers-fresh-graduates-unrealistic-expectations/

What then is my points regarding the topic?

I will classify 90% of unemployed graduate in the category of a ''wise man'' while the remaining 10% are the fools. Why? Because a fool will rather dine with a pig to get fed while a wise man will rather go hungry than to dine with a pig. I'm not saying there are jobs in Nigeria but i'm saying many of the unemployement situation in Nigeria are ''Self afflicted'' How? Recalling the findings of the ''Jobstreet journals'' you will discover that many of our fresh graduate are being too choosy on jobs.
Everyone wants to work with Dangote, NLNG, Telecomms etc to boost ego's but no one is ready to start with ''Kabiru's Incorporated''. That's the problem! Everyone want to start with fat salary, impress their peers on instagram, Nairaland and show fleets of current ride's on facebook but no one is ready to sacrifice. Am not saying is a crime to be ambitious, but am asking if such ambition can work in a ''rotting system''? See i started my first job as a 'Fool' with a pay of 25k while many of my colleagues were mocking me and waiting to submit ''applications' in the next job adverts in Dangote. Yea, the mocking is for real when your monthly transport fare is around 15k and you are earning 25k, of what benefit is the remaining 10k? But to me, my aim was beyond the firm! I wanted to build a platform, i wanted to gain experience, i wanted to build a ''referral''. Ofcourse it did work! It was from the low paying firm that i connect to a better paying firm. Today, i may not be earning as large as the guy's in the oil sector but am 'confortable'' while those that mocked me then are still jobless after 5years with no experience. Who will employed them? The truth is, no firm is ready to train any fresh graduate any longer because of the present state of the economy. So be a fool!

Conclusions

The best ways to fight unemployment in Nigeria is to seek ''experience'' where ever possible and forget your own ''intuition of wisdom''. How do you get the experience? Start from somewhere even if the pay is not encouraging, focus on developing yourself, use the influence of the coy to 'Network yourself, sell yourself'' and most importantly, make sure you build yourself to a level where the low paying coy cant do without you, they will be forced to review your earning. A fool will rather go for a job of 15k while a wise man will insist on a job of 1m (while staying inexperienced), at the end, a fool would have gathered enough experience to remain ''distinguished'' and employable while the wiseman will remain inexperience and keep blaming ''employers'' for seeking for experience. How can you study marketing and be scared of ''Marketing' position at Chukwudi incorporatd''? How will you know your strength and weakness irrespective of the salary? How will you study insurance and you cant apply at ''Hassan's Assurance'' because of the low pay? You can only help yourself before the government helps you. I know is not easy but we have to keep trying

I see the point you are trying to make but I don't completely agree with you.
I am a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from a reputable Polytechnic in the country. I was lucky to get adequate working experience in my field through IT. But since I finished youth service 2 years ago, our economy has been quite unstable(to say the least) and jobs that can give me more experience in my field are not easy to come by as it was some years ago. The only job opportunities that greet us every day are mini marketing jobs and teaching in mini private schools. I have rejected many of such jobs in the last 2 years and I don't regret it.
Apart from the poor pay, which doesn't really bother me, what experience can mini marketing and teaching job add to my CV as a mechanical engineer?
If we must tell ourselves the truth, our big men at the top are the major cause of unemployment in this country for 2 reasons. One of the reasons is unrelated to our topic of discussion so I will only say the other reason - They keep putting square pegs in round holes because of who they know.
How will an engineer like me get working experience when my friend who had a pass in Marketing was picked ahead of me to be trained and possibly employed as a pipe welder just because he knew someone at the top? When a marketer runs away from his field and is being employed to work in an engineering firm, where will the real engineers work to gain the much needed experience? Do you expect me to take the available marketing jobs? I can't be that kind of of fool. I rather venture into business and advice others to be self employed because the greatest of all fools are those who still spend their time and money going to the universities only to come out and look for jobs in this era of no jobs.

u people be shouting experience up and down, who will employ those who dont have experience when most companies are always looking for 2-3 years experience in similar role?

Dude ur pitch is poor.. Sounds more like poetry.

Software training means what?? Be specific, especially in the first few lines.

Too many skills means ur proficiency is probably only average in all the above. List a few skills and defend them with industry related acronyms and terms. Be explicit about the depth of knowledge u have.

Computer Appreciation, wtf Saying sh*t like that automatically invalidates ur degree.

General perception: No industry experience. Never touched a computer.

It means you dont know the scope of your job. Let me give you a tip, what do you know about Facility management in the context of your discipline? How does your discipline relate to the construction industry? You need to know more about your discipline before complaining of opportunities. You have no business with marketing if you know the question why, where and how! thanks

I bet he has none,we in a computerized Nigeria,private schools are established daily and they need website designers so what the heck?why u still unemployed?

As far as this thread is concerned am a fool..... This is my story.... Even b4 my NCE I was already doing some small small teaching jobs, as such after my NCE days I continued teaching in a small sch with little pay but was gathering experience and some training.... God blessed with a Job that paid more than with connections with the government. Well I left the job after a year to concentrate on my BSc program even though I Nw regret it cha... Nw am back and straight on I took a teaching jab... The pay ain't gud but it OK..... In just a month I was promoted to d secondary section from primary 2.... I have a private lesson that's same as my salary..... The truth is that am enjoying myself while my mates re at home waiting for service..... The worst part is that most of then Dat wouldn't wanna teach must teach in service..... But my advantage is that b4 they round up and come back to face the Labour market I would have stepped to a level that I wouldnt need to go abt looking for jabs up and down..... So in the actual sense I may be a fool Nw but will be proven to be wise later..... Thank u op..... I nid to show my fiancé dis write up..... Her yanga concerning jab search wan dey too much nw

You're correct. My first salary as a graduate was 7000 naira. I needed the experience so had to stay, then 12000 and now 20000. We will get there. Better than staying idle o.

Hello i av something for you. check ur mail.

Thanks much

Do I agree with OP? No!
Reason: when the "wise" dumps a job, a "fool" picks it up from the pool of unemployed. Nothing really changed.
Summary: the number graduates by far surpass the jobs available.
But notwistanding, that does not overule the idea of adding value to oneself in the present situation, the truth is you may not find the kind of job you desire career wise, but you can create a lifelong livelihood for yourself if you push beyond your comfort zone.
