Nigerian companies don't really know the value of LinkedIn. Only a few companies use it and only a few people get job through it

Get a good shoe and walk around. God shall bless you with a good job. When God picks your call, sign up again and show off. Remember to upload office selfie on daily bases, every board meeting u must snap and upload, if you get close to any offshore facilities whether for excursion just snap, I mean snap and snap and upload.
Watch how ur connection will grow and ur inMail will increase geometrically.
People come there to talk about their 'whocaresabout' achievements and wouldn't care to help an applicant looking for job.
I've used that platform for long, I even activated linkedIn job alert notification and applied for almost all the jobs yet no success. The last one I applied for made me buy e-book for the exam and was also successful in the exam yet nothing happened.
I don't go there again, still hustling despite my 2.1 one day I will go back to upload my own work selfie. They are intimidating me joor!
This is the truth
Nothing one can get from that place
Maybe only beautiful ladies using it as means to advertise themselves
As for guys, it is a waste of time

I can relate to this.
I have been there and not even one invite came through but now all that has changed since I got my current job April last year the offers have been steadily streaming in and guess what I don't even post pictures there safe that I updated my profile...
The blue chips have their scouts scurrying ever corner of LinkedIn looking for people with catchy profile to snap up whilst ignoring the up and coming who in my opinion are the ones who should really be looked at.
Unemployment is really not as big an issue as underemployment..
The biggest problem with most of the unemployed is not the want of opportunities but unemployability.
Keep at what you're doing brother... You will smile sooner than you think.

the way so many people hype linkedin, dey make it seem as if once you have an attractive profile and showcase your skills, you will have job with Shell or Chevron.
fa fa fawuuul. no lie. yes, there are some cases here and there where people get jobs via LinkedIn, but those cases are very very few, say 2% . it's not that easy.

People still get jobs via Linkedin. Personally, I've been contacted by recruiters through Linkedin asking me to send my CV to them, after going through my profile. I did an online interview with Diageo recently, after their HR asked for my CV on Linkedin.

Linkdin is meant for high profile skilled jobs not cleaner job or low level jobs..

I have seen people who got foreign jobs via that platform

You are totally correct.

LinkedIn is of more value to highly skilled professionals.

I got my present job in a LNG plant in the US through linkedIn. I was contacted by a recruiter who looked up my profile and he organized a telephone interview with the company. Long and short, I got the job and relocated to Texas, USA.

Thanks to God for giving us LinkedIn.

Yes and no! In Nigeria, I think it is an advantage in special skill sets as the people you're associating with are your colleagues in Nigeria and around the world, in other over saturated disciplines it makes only a little difference
