Since this trend is breeding.. Let me drop a few.

- I have pals who studied Pol. Science, they both got a job through the graduate trainee scheme in Zenith Bank and Access banks. Both have progressed so much career wise, and by net worth they are multi-millionaires and established.

- I know a bunch of guys who studied architecture, administration, soil science, animal husbandry and some 'perceived low grade social science/art courses working in KPMG, PWC and EY. Oh yeah, and they have progressed so much, bagged professional courses and masters alike even in newer unrelated fields.

Emphatically,
Upcoming graduates need to understand this simple rule.

There are actually jobs here in Nigeria and everywhere!!!

But the most significant characteristics every employer looks for are:

1. Aptitude
2. Capability
3.Competence

Anyone who has developed these 3 variables will definitely be gainfully employed when the opportunity comes knocking regardless of whatever course they studied.

Definitely some courses have more preferences than others but on a balanced scale employers are looking for candidates the 3 features above.

So what's the problem

1. How many graduates spread across all courses in Nigeria can easily ace GMAT, SHL, psychometric/ability tests and well structured oral interviews. Oh yeah, you would say people with majors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) have advantage because of their backgrounds in numerics, but these questions are structured to check your problem solving, verbal, critical and visual intelligence.

2. How many graduates take time off school to attempt IQ Tests, job tests and practice before and after they graduate. So many graduates lack simple social and communication skills, many lack basic computing knowledge and can't use basic MS Office applications - there are actually people who can't open a word document and type.

3. We can easily say that many graduates in Nigeria are seriously unprepared not actually 'unqualified' to get jobs. Get to social media like Facebook groups and your eyes would hurt so much from grammatical blunders written by 'graduates'. It's not the school's or course they studied but an 'individual problem'

Anyone who "genuinely" made at least 2.1/Upper credit from any top tertiary institution in Nigeria actually has special skills and unique capabilities they may not even know about.

School is not Scam, and there are JOBS!!!

There are just a handful persons who have paced themselves up with the relevant skills and knowledge to grab them!

its this the new trend?? we all know that its only in naija that a graduate in agric can endup working in the bank because of "strong legs" and the course you studied do not determine what you would endup with..
my cousin dts a graduate in economics is currently an agent in bet9ja shop, a colleague dts also a graduate in economics is currently a pump attendant in a filling station but am a still a student of economics and am still praying and hustling dt i dnt endup as a terrorists bombing sites with my laptop seeking for greener pastures in this harsh economy because man must survive..

This is why they summoned him to Minna? His adherence to the northern agenda was the main reason few people from the east worried about his case when he was locked up the other time... Next will be Okorocha to tell you that "competence" is what matters, as if there are no competent people elsewhere... Two judases. It's an old trick of using southern characters created by the northern oligarchy to further the northern interests/agenda.. They should try a new trick because this one is worn out and very predictable..

Married folks,
What was that thing you later realised you wasted your money on during your wedding ceremony?

For me was Wedding IV. Spent money printing quality IV. I should have just used WhatsApp, Facebook and SMS and people would still have come. My mums friends and associates was enough crowd.

I travelled with my woman to UK to shop for wedding gown, shoe and wrist watch. Spent £2,200 on gown. £800 wristwatch I cant remember the price of the shoe now. That's for madam alone.

Madam now forced me to buy wedding suits for me and my best man.

Looking back, I would have built a bungalow with this stupid expense. Even my madam now regrets spending such money on wedding gown that she wore for 2 hours and that was it. The gown is wasting somewhere now.

I know I wasted money unnecessary. My only joy is the good wife I married.

Share the mistakes you made in expense planning wedding

Luckydubby7:
Nigeria covid19 version is what I still find difficult to understand.
Now, you reduced testing or not testing at all and you are claiming the number of cases are reducing.

backnbeta:
Was there a real curve in the first place? Other countries had a bit of consistent high figures that showed what looked like a peak, then a descent, not the up today down tomorrow, up up again, down, up, up, down, down, up...sort of graph our figures will show if plotted on a graph sheet.

Young042galaxy:
Accademic Staff Union of Universities is in loggerhead with students over on going industrial actions by the union.
As seen from Twitter, ASUU is trying their best to educate Nigerian students on the benefits of the strike but students seems to have lost hope and trust on the Union.

zaza999:
Sorry I did not see it as unnecessary. Love making is more enjoyable especially when the partner is showing interest. It can even make the man perform more. But when it's you all the time, it reduces the urge as you may feel you are always disturbing your partner for what she don't want. Most times I may decide to stay on my own since she seems not to need it but when it takes long and she don't even care to feel it, I will still go back and initiate when the konji is much on me. Such act doesn't give me joy and a sense of belonging

Kendumazy:
Love the fact that he didn't blame or accuse anyone. Very nice interview. Weldone sir!

Aliyu10562:
How many tests were carried out today?

They are also conducting more testing now amid the increase in the number of molecular laboratories across the nation

✅This is when all schools will be re-opened – FG makes fresh updates(Read full details)
����������������


The federal government on Thursday, August 13, gave an update on when all schools across the country would be fully reopened for academic activities.
RoyalNG reports that the minister of state for education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, said during the daily briefing on COVID-19 that once the PTF assesses all the data, it would inform Nigerians when it is safe to reopen schools.


The minister also noted that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) is still on strike which was started before the lockdown in March.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and chairman Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said that presidents, prime ministers and other top personalities have contracted COVID-19.
He warned that people must protect themselves against the coronavirus pandemic, adding that people should not assume that their friends and families are COVID-free.
"Presidents, prime ministers and other top personalities have contracted COVID-19. We must protect ourselves. Don't assume your friends, families are COVID-free; wear your masks before going out. We must remain alive and safe until a vaccine is found," he said.

Speaking on channel Television yesterday he said:
Once the PTF assesses all the data, it will inform us of when it is safe to reopen schools but the resumption imminent hopefully nextmonth- Minister of Education (State) - Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba.

What she initially wrote was 'pussy', she edited it to 'heart'. Imagine that.

paulolee:
it seems thats happening in S.A because our naija girls would never have any cash to help u with in the first place...they spend soo much money on thierself bt always complaining being broke whenever you ask for help..
was with a bea last year that was working and earning nice cash, asked her to lend me 10k to add to mine so i use to pay bills for an interview in another state that i budgetted 40k because i planned stayin a week, days letter she miraculously gave me 5k maybe because of the fasting and prayer i did and GOD touched her stonned heart..
went and the interview didnt work as planned but i meet an old Friend in the same hotel dt jus came back from u.k and he transferred 100k to use as t.p bk to my state and to offset bills, only for me to return and the idiot girl was accusing me of cheating on her with her own money because i stayed longer than planned..
I explained to her what happened, then transferred 10k to her and told her dt i dnt wana ever see her wicked face again in my life..
my perception for girls changed from then up till now..

frozen70:
You guys are getting it wrong pls

When a woman gives you money, it's a borrowed money because its necessary at that time for you

She does that because you needed it and out of nothing she has to do that because she doesn't want you to be in distress

But bear in mind that you are with her money and don't ever think she has forgotten it

As a matter of fact, a woman keeps more of financial records than abuse records

Just respect yourself through out that period she gives it to you

She also believes that she can't give you her heart and gives you her money, no naw, haba!!!

Any day you frustrate her, she will remind you of every kobo

Anthony4578:
I will ask a simple question
what do you have to say about Oyo state that reopened schools before the FG?

fayded:
Oga, I can assure u that this is not fake news, and that the school is opening on 13th August..
If u want on 13th,i ll mention u and send u a link to confirm and see pics of students attending the school.
The news is not fake, Oga.
Desist from Name calling, otherwise u go just look stupid.

Anthony4578:
Common sense should also tell you that the national response gave every state the right to say when schools will reopen. You no de read book, na to de type wetin u no sabi

Anthony4578:
ANSU/COOU Resumes school for all First years & Clinical students.
Others to follow in a month when these set have taken their exams.

Recall that Anambra state Governor was the first to relax Lockdown restrictions & open markets, churches, etc earlier in May.

We hope that other schools would follow soon, although ASUU is the main bone of contention but ANSU has as of today, decamped..

Expect divisions in ASUU soon.

NGpatriot:
Who is Tinubu leading and what are you going to hold him accountable for?

Is he a public official?

Is he a governor or minister or senator or reps?

Is he collecting allocations or responsible for you or your state?

When was the last time you demanded accountability from your own governor?

You need to include yourself because you sound like a kid.
