I've shared this with you before. I remember vividly !

spyglaxx:



I sold my phone to learn solar installation then, and the rest is now history.

AhmedEmeka:

If you can't even source for capital, what makes you think you could make 100k monthly?

Continue dey clean that bank floor, maybe you go help them detect criminal one day.

Nigerians are the most politically savvy people in the world

I'm different, bro. The fact that you bribe me 8s more reason why I will vote against you










...until they see N2000 cash and 3 cups of rice.

No exception.

What's your contact, got a repair job somewhere on the mainland

Guy this is not funny. What is the population of New Zealand, its just about or around 6m. Unemployed figure in Nigeria is higher than that. Israel at less than 10m, is still less than unemployment figure here. Meanwhile those are advanced nations not to talk of countries in Europe. We have an army of unemployed capable of dwarfing the population of a number of countries around the world.
While it might be an asset to the polity it is at the same time a time-bomb. Have you asked yourself what if things don't change for the better going forward, what will give? That is a million-dollar question laden with anxious expectations! Pathetic really

Clinolit:
Skills trump degrees, any day, anytime!

It is expected that with your advanced degree, you should learn or hone industry-relevant skills, supposing a job is your end game. In fact, if you've planned it out right, you should even be an employer of labor/top consultant following a PhD for instance.

But... My people won't hear. That advanced degree, except it can be directly translated into measurable value, is WORTHLESS, even in academia. Faculty openings are reducing by the minute, going by the current statistics. At best, it's a new line on your resume. Shikena!

I usually wonder why there's so much fuss about bagging advanced degrees, with no emphasis on the employment landscape.

No, a lucrative job is not waiting for you after your PhD. Not even in consulting. It's a harsh world out there. Plan ahead.

I don't know about your area, Nigeria right now has gotten to a point where if you ask 20 people for just N5k, the chances of succeeding is near zero. Why? Many are just struggling with loads of responsibilities. If you are fortunate to be the only employed earner among your folks, remember you are not just carrying your load alone, to some extent you are carrying those of others.
The ugly side to this spate of joblessness is the fact that it wears heavily on the purchasing ability of everyone, the little left for you, and the little you are able to give out to others will not be substantial enough to meet the cost of any tangle item - living from hand to mouth - a cyclical circle
My guy has 5 of his siblings who have graduated without a job. He said most times, he is not able to wait for them to ask before giving some assistance - is it transport fare to attend interviews - or for some kits as little as toothpaste/brush! You see them hustling everyday - but nothing. Anyone taking his laptop to fix is held by ignorant police who think possessing a laptop turns you into an automatic yahoo. Now you have to pay hugely to bail yourself or wait at your own risk to get justice that will never come. Who pays to bail? Still the employed brother. Nigeria is simply hard. It is a near impossible country!

Rgade:

Time bomb indeed!
With our population Nigeria is this close to being a failed state.
If things don't start changing for the better,omo the future is bleak o.

Carmal90:


Who are those you guys??
The earlier you know your story is different from other people story, you will learn to be humble even if you are arguably rich..
Don't display your low reasoning on public forum..
It will cost you nothing to respect others

AhmedEmeka:

Can't find substance in this write up.

CodeTemplar:
But whose job is it to provide employment? Govt is only to create enabling environment. We are to act.

Carmal90:

Yes,
It is beyond you.

Carmal90:


He should source for capital from heaven shey??

AhmedEmeka:

Yeah right, and you can't come up with basic solution on sourcing for capital. The only thing that could come out from that empty stuff you carry was

Carmal90:


Tell him the solution of sourcing for funds...
Stop displaying your stupidity on public forum.

seanwilliam:

Education is a job training, not a magic bullet—something Nigerian government has failed to communicate to the public before every Nigerian begins to acquire all the education.

In Nigeria, students graduate from schools with absolutely no job experience and expect to get hired. No, it is not going to happen. It is happening in Europe, North America, and Asian countries.

In Europe, North America and most Asian nations, people get jobs soon after they graduate from schools because they have existed private sector businesses that offer students opportunities to work when they are students and gain job skills. In Nigeria, such opportunities do not exist.

And here is why

Nigerian government does not have a national policy on restaurants, clothing stores, groceries stores, shoes stores, barber shop, etc.

At the heart of the problem is tribalism. Every tribe you go to, people there have their own foods, dressing code, customs, and so on. That makes it difficult for Nigerians who graduate from schools to obtain jobs skills that they can transfer. It also makes it difficult for jobs to be created in a large scale to hire school graduates.

Solution
Nigerian government should propose and pass a national policy on restaurant busines, clothing stores, barber shops, shoes stores, convenient stores business. All tribal restaurants and associate business should be shut down. This will allow Nigerian to work in any business and transfer skills gained to other business.

Education is job training. Try to get a job while you are a student to gain job skills. Do not wait until after school graduation to look for job to acquire skills. That way you don’t start at the bottom or sit too long to find a job.

trutht828:


You are describing what I'm experiencing bro. You will be surprised that even those who are supposed to know better are too mentally poor and blind to know that people can make money without going to an office or opening a shop. As far as these mentally blind people are concerned, anyone using a laptop or working from home is a scammer.

Dangrace01:
God

Since I graduated no job I sell cars please support my hustle. Nigeria no easy.

We sell excellent cars

seunlayi:
Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria are scams, what you've bn taught up to waec standard is enough to sustain many.

And the worst part of it is when you decide to work digitally on your own online. You are automatically tagged as "yahoo-boy"

Do you agree?

Stop being a "Bornfool" give yourself a rebirth and reorientation

slydog:
Underemployment is another serious issue.
I have a PhD in Economics, but I work as a marketer in a commercial Bank where your certificate really don't mean anything.
Hopefully by first quarter of next year, I will resign and look for something else to do. The banking system just dulls one.
