The last time I check my records as a Nigerian I was never address as a shithole citizen nor my family members. So will running out from Nigeria solve our challenges our great country is facing?.

Currently I'm already solving unemployment issues by creating & empowering youths within my territory & you can do more better than me Sir.
Nigeria will be great again
Thank you Sir

Solution to what? Solution that our previous great politicians can’t give, the likes of azik awo etc. Are you expecting to get such from this present political class of theives who are self centered.

Anyways, only those who don’t they have no choice or means/resources of leaving this shithole will always say “I’m not going anywhere” those who have the means/resources to leave this country and have travel to other country will appreciate good life.

Looking for a solution to a failed country! When you find any solution don’t forget to write nass. Solution indeed.

Threads like this are very dangerous. Because you devalue Nigerian salary more for foreign investors and others who use the internet to guage what is acceptable and what is current practice.I have seen situations were foreign firms who have agreed at partnership with 450k for fresh graduates renegade based on analysis from stupid internet here say such as this. It is unpatriotic to share half truths and you worsen the problem. I will attempt to address this here by saying:

1)Only a inexperienced graduates in a professional job setting/firm earns less than 200k.

2)it is the equivalent of an internship abroad as most Nigerians start work post NYSC with no experience.As in cannot type ordinary minutes of a meeting

3) Salaries start to increase with positions for those who take their careers seriously give or take 2-5 years

4)there are MANY jobs in Nigeria been filled with expatriates because Nigerians for some strange reason I am still trying to figure out do not apply for them. Others just settle without professional improvement or attempts to reach for a higher position or another job so you see the same fellow at the same position,salary and organization for 10 years complaining about poor salary and unkind boss.

5) there are no jobs in Nigeria (myth)



6)There are few high paying jobs in Nigeria (myth)

In summary Nigerian youths are professionally lazy.If you count hawking gala on the streets hard working ,or fake ass entrepreneurial ventures do not complain of a low income. Building a carrear on the other hand takes time ,sacrifice,dedication and God's grace.it may require holding a 40k job for 2 years while building experience to strike out when the time is right.Those who sweat investing in themselves and spend time doing so reap great returns even in Nigeria,small minds sit back and grumble watching those with focus build their way through

Nigeria will fail you if:

1. You dont think of what good to do for your country.

2. You keep supporting rulers like Buhari/APC/PDP thieves, even when it is evident that they have failed. BMC's take note.

3. You collect stipends during elections and vote for thieves. E.g. in recent elections in Ekiti and Osun States.

4. We continue to vote for recycled, tested and trusted old thieves

5. We fail to take cue from Ghana and Rwanda.

6. If we fail to put aside tribalism and religious bigotry, thuggery, nepotism, inpunity etc.


In all these, the masses, who SUFFER the most are to be blamed.

"Better to love Nigeria from outside"
She is spot on.
I have friends who left the shores some 12 years ago, they are done building their private homes in the their villa and are now buying up properties in the city. It is no easy down there but if you are focused and hardworking, you will surely have a decent live. In Nigeria, it like pouring water to basket, waste of effort and time. Every indices stands against you whether as an entrepreneur or employee.

No electricity, business killing bank loan interest rate, multiple taxation, bad road, disillusioned work force, unstable government policies etc
As an employee, harsh work environment, low take home, low motivation, Shylock employment terms, porous labour laws etc.

We were thought that Saving = Investment.
How can you invest when all earning are spend on providing those items government should provide; quality school for the kids, electricity, private security, good home. etc

The economic would not grow without a vibrant middle class.

All graduates can not earn the same monthly. It depends on the industry or company where you work or the kind of business you do. Because of the ever increasing population of graduates churned out yearly, the chances of getting a job reduces yearly as well.

Not all graduates will get employed let alone earning more than N200k monthly. If you can't get a job, start a small business and with time it will grow and you will no longer be interested in looking for a job. But whatever you do, whether you are working or doing business, remember the PARETO THEORY.

Why stay at a position for 11 years at less than 100k and then blame the organization. Be truthful banks also pay some graduates over 12 million per annum true or false

Is it the same degree certificate from Nigeria you want to go and use overseas? It’s obvious why we are here. Who says good grades will give you good jobs? Neither B. Gates, A. Ortega nor Jeff Bezzos boasts an MBA Degree, but they have MBA Stardust of Mindset, Behaviour, Attitude. You all have the wrong mindset already. Who told you Nigeria owes you a job? Jet out and be nuisance on the street of another man’s country. How many of those people jet out? Do you solve your problem by running from them? And yes many of you are unemployable. I wasn’t an exception.It took self reflection, identifying with the truth, self development, deep research to land a juicy job.

I learned that in countries like U.K or U.S a total illiterate with no waec cert earns an average of £1200 and will conveniently save like £500 if he manages well after living quality life but in Naija a graduate with MSc will give testimony in church for securing a job of 100k appr £220 and may spend all in one month to buy quality life.

Even more. During holiday when I Studied, I freelanced for ubereats (food delivery service) with my bicycle and earn about 800 euros weekly. In one month, I easily cross 3000 euros (over 1.2M). And it's a low skill job that people look down upon. You can put ubereats on YouTube and there are riders who earn more. Imagine earning that as a student.

Truly, Nigeria failed it's youth.

How do we begin since some of us here take it for fun? We the youths need to pause and ponder and then apply our YOUTHFUL intelligence to think and make clever decisions even if we don't fully manifest in time for this election, before next election we are already a force. The reason why we are still like this is because we fail ourselves by shying away from things we need to do. Let's THINK, THINK,THINK and STRATEGIZE on how to move forward. Look at how creative, innovative and clever most of us are but still specialize in 1. Bring him down syndrome 2. Tribalism 3. If not me or us, no one else 4. APC or PDP 5. Lack of result oriented movements/plans 6. Caricatures, uninterested in national discourse etc.(No disrespect) For instance, NOT TOO YOUNG TO RUN BILL has recently been signed. That means we must be a force by next election. Our time is near.

If these guys can do well in other people's countries why can they do well here? Reason being the quota system (that's destroys creativity ) will never allow them. and this system is controlled by the Northern Nigeria leaders.

whether you like it or not Nigeria is controlled by northern Nigeria, which means if northern Nigeria is not ok, the nation as a whole will not.
Expect for what we are seeing today where southern Nigeria is far developed that northern Nigeria.
Why because southern Nigeria encourages everyone to think for himself, attend school, very little quota systems.

Let the Northern Nigeria leaders change their leadership style from selective quota system to an inclusive democratic Islamic system like United Arab Emirates, Qatar and what the newly Saudi Arabia crown prince is doing to Saudi Arabia now.

Not the leadership system of the Pakistani, Yemeni , old Saudi Arabia Islamic government, that favour's only a few.

What happened to the Alimajeri schools that Past President Jonathan built? Inside those Alimajeri boys lies the future billionaires, captain of industry, that can change Northern Nigeria.

You call some states educational disadvantage, giving them low Jamb marks to enter into university, where by killing their brain power. That's why its hard for them to succeed in private enterprise ( every country grows on private enterprise not government funded enterprise ) that involves heavy competition, they only succed on monopoly and government favours. These can't help them become a global brand. Because all global brands must face tough competitions, the world is a global village.

Every developed country has developed based on the development of the people, human resources not natural resources.

That's why with all the crude oil in Saudi Arabia it can't be compared with Israel that has zero oil deposits.

Until the northern Nigeria leadership change from quota system to full human development for all northern people, where everyone is equal, has 100% right to school, where birth control is put in place, where Islamic teaching that said u can only marry more than one wife IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT!!.
Where making sure that the educational budget is higher than going to Mecca budgets etc.

Until these happen, the development of Nigeria as a whole will not be there.

If you check, the statistics, All the poverty, sicknesses indices are very high in northern Nigeria compare to the south.

Today the GDP that made Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa, over 90% of the Non Oil sectors are controlled by southern Nigeria. Is it Nollywood, Music, creative arts, banking, services etc.

These 're what you get when everyone is allowed to think for himself and given opportunity to succeed in respective of your religious view.

Get this, if you allow a person to develop his brain during his youthful days, when difficult times come in his adulthood, he will devise a positive solution but when you give a person too much waivers during his youthful days, where by making his brain power ineffective, when he faces problem in his adulthood, he will devise negative solutions like depression, suicide bombing etc.

Since 1967, northern Nigeria has been controlling the leadership of Nigeria (directly / indirectly ), yet the region is the poorest of all the regions. Why?? leadership systems.
Well said sir!
