The issue is, most graduates including the PhD holders are not creating jobs by solving problems. They just want to go to school, pass exams and 'look' for jobs.

Nigerian graduates should think of what they can do for Nigeria or humanity and not what Nigeria/humanity can do for them.

Kindly confirm the transfer,,,and keep the details private, pls. I'm sorry I couldn't afford more than your request at the moment

You are correct. But at PhD level, you are expected to have some skill. However, I dont know if it is the same with PhD graduates in Nigeria.

Bornfool:


Rubbish because na only school u fii get educated.

School no be scam if you know how to use your degree and education is not about school, you can get education from anywhere even from a person that doesn't even go to school, even from a animal self. Open your dictionary and check the meaning of education.

Wahala dey o, I remember how some of my lecturers advice me to put in for Masters immediately after NYSC, there reason is that i could secure lecturing job, then afterwards enrol for Ph.d. My worry was that, I've not put my undergraduate knowledge into use, but to them, it's about getting the JOB.
This is the mentality of most lecturers doning our citadel of learning, it also explain why graduates are often running after getting job.

With this your grammar, I don't think you are a graduate

Ventura1:

A PhD holder should be able to find solution to a problem, but in Nigeria, it's like an academic exercise.
You cannot get solution to a problem that affects mankind and still be searching for job, it's impossible.

All what it takes is mindset bro. Read books that will open your mind.. That salary of 500k you are dreaming of is something you can actually create yourself.. Wealth is about the kind of problem you are solving and time.

Hmm since the day I experienced how third class and second class lower candidates were picked against Distinction candidates for employment due to link/connections with big politicians in Nigeria.

E shock me. My fellow nairalanders I gave up on Nigeria.
