But wait o...what is the aim of going to study in the higher level and can't produce anything. I am talking to my friends in sciences. If you are a graduate and you have pass through school for about 4,5-7 years, why would you come out to lament that there is no job out there. I believe that if you know what you read in school and you are sure you can defend it anywhere, you shouldn't be scared of getting a job. 3 Likes |

nwaimostate5: I opened this new moniker just to lay my frustrations as typical Nigeria youth who is tired of the whole system.
when I was in secondary school I was among the best in my class,is either I came first, second or third I never had any position below them. my parents were so happy and proud of me and vow to train me up to University education even if it will cost them starving just make sure I attend University because they were poor. After hearing this from them I became so happy and elevated (remember those feelings then that u will go to University, those feelings no be here) at that time I don't think about anything else except University, jamb,post utme , life in campus and any other thing relating to University. I wrote my first jamb in 2009, scored above 260, then score relatevely high post utme but I was denied admission in one of the federal University in Nigeria not because I didn't meet the cut off mark but because I don't have money to runs the admission,I lost the admission that year and became so frustrated and dejected. let Make it short, i have been writing jamb from 2009 till lastly in 2013 when I got admission to study marketing in one the state University in South East. I,m in my final year now studying marketing just few months for me to graduate. You may be wondering while i,m writing this,now let me tell you. I,m writing this first because ...... 1 I,m frustrated right now because after graduation I will start roaming the streets looking for job. 2 Had it been I use those time I spent in writing jamb and do business by now I would have been s millionaire by now. 3 Had it been my parents advice me to learn trade by now I would have been my own oga controlling millions. 4 I have to start afresh and enter the streets for hustling because there is no jobs out there, so why the certificate when I can read and write with secondary education. Then, why did I spent all the years looking for certificate that I may not use tomorrow because streets pays more than salary. I remember how I hustle during holidays to meet up the needs in school thinking after graduation good jobs are there waiting for me.

Op, Nigerian universities are time wasters and a total scam . Most students will graduate with the hope of securing a good job only to end up unemployed for years. Take a look at the salary structure of the half baked useless lecturers in the universities, they all earn stipends as there monthly take home. The best thing for now is for you to learn a skill and monitize it but unfortunately Nigerian universities does not enocourage skill acquisition they only encourage cramming and issue certificate that is of no use to graduants and the society at large. 7 Likes |
