My certificates have become useless. I graduated in 2008, passed out of NYSC in 2010. Till date I have not used my certificates for anything. What I am regretting in my life now is time I wasted in the university. My wife graduated in 2015, she is now learning tailoring because she couldn't get a job too.
How una dey take marry without money, this thing still dey shock me.

I think it's time we advise our colleagues, younger siblings and friends still in Uni to ensure they learn a skill before graduating. They need to learn something that would put naira and kobo in their bank account. It's saddening that lots of them still rely so much on white collar jobs that is not available if you don't have the link except Grace.

The issue of unemployment is all over the world. Ours is just obvious due to non availability social security, soft loans etc for the unemployed and physically challenged.

Stop using your phone to post or read nonsense messages on social media. Use your phone to ask questions on Google. What skills can a law student learn? What available skills do we have in Nigeria? How to learn online business?

Stop reading front pages trending and new post on NL. Start reading recent, follow business oreinted post and ask questions.

Ensure you bury your head doing something worthwhile. If you start small while in Uni, upon graduation, you will be a Master.

You ask what I did while in Uni. I was a great hustler. Every available opportunity, I leverage on it asap. I did Jamb regularization when scratch card was still in vogue, school registration, course form, assignment, project etc. That's where my strength lies. Trust me, I was a big man. The links I created back then is still paying till date though, I have learnt new skills. All these, I learnt on NL.

Be wise
Be smart
Be hardworking
Think big and don't forget your God.

Sorry about your situation. A lot of us Bankers, Doctors, Accountants, Lawyers etc also went to the university and have never been out of a job since we graduated years ago.
This is just my opinion though, but if a person who graduated over 5 - 10yrs ago hasn't been able to find a job, I cannot help but think that there's probably something wrong with the person himself or his quality of education.

Shut the f**k up. Are you trying to belittle this young man's life experience. Who are you and how much are you even making? Rubbish

There are certain things/ information that you knew that someone that didn't go to school doesn't know....

U think it was a waste but I believe it always comes handy when u want to make certain and important decisions in your life..

The fact that you can't find a job now does not mean that all u learnt from uni was not important...
Don't find a way to paint it undecided
Is a total waste angry

Guy join quora, be an active reader 2 months nothing in this Earth u won't know about, I finished 5years ago apart from msc clearance that hasnt worked yet I never use my B.sc do anything.

I came out with 2.2 so I am not really interested in looking for job, I just want to keep expanding my business.

Right now am pursuing a new company to start up since I can't get a job and earn 400k every month I must look for businesses that will earn me such monthly and I won't stop.

You talk nonsense and lies as if you are not in nigeria.swear that you did not pay money or use connection or your private part to get that job.it is people like you that work and refuse to retire becos your children who are at home are graduates & have no jobs.but hypocrisy would not allow you to admit that theres a high rate of unemployment in nigeria.do you think someone would spend years in getting education only to be told to go and learn work or start a petty trade without capital? the reality is that its very hard to get a job without connection in nigeria.

My brother I greet you. There is this growing mentality among our youths of today, especially in Nigeria, that school is not important. One even had the shamelessness to burn his certificates and post it online and some were praising him. Meanwhile when he gets sick he runs to the doctor or pharmacist who went to school. He uses phones designed by engineers and tech specialists who excelled in school, etc. In my opinion (and lot of people seem not to comprehend the meaning of this term, by the way), school hardly fails people, it is the people who fail themselves. The syllabus or system of teaching may not be as good as it should be, but the onus is usually on the student to study and research for himself. The university is supposed to be a place of research, not waiting for the lecturer to come and dictate notes for the students to memorize and "pass" exams.
