There are over 60 Million unemployed and soon-to-be employed youths in Nigeria... How many of them are in tech that's making you create threads?!!

Do you know how many Asians and Americans are into various areas of tech, yet their tech industries are nowhere near saturated?!!

It takes more than trends to excel in any field, and as we speak there are more fields springing up... The revolution hasn't even started globally.

I agree that Nigerians tend to bullrush anything trending, but the weeds will always get separated from the wheat.

Only those truly gifted and passionate about tech will succeed there.

You have a point concerning the type of people that have success stories in tech.

The nature of the tech industry of any economy is linked to the nature of the economy itself.

Advanced economies such as those of Asian and American countries are really diverse hence they have more areas tech can be applied to, hence less talent saturation.

Barywhyte:
Why should tech employ every unemployed Nigerian? Is every unemployed Nigerian/individual interested in a career in tech? What about other industries? There is nothing like the "best of the best" in many careers that provide job opportunities, save for a very few ones in embedded engineering and maybe semiconductors (microchips). Nigeria needs to fix her extremely poor and virtually non-existing infrastructure and that means getting the politics right first. And fixing politics means electing the right people into elective positions and respecting the rules of law.

With electricity and road infrastructure fixed, those two alone can help reduce this "humongous unemployment".

You and i are exactly on the same page.
I wrote the article to highlight the unrealistic expectations people place on tech as a solution to Nigeria's unemployment crisis.

In my conclusion i suggested that other measures such as what you suggested should be put in place by the government.

Csami:
How many of these unemployed Nigerians can use Microsoft Word?
You’re making it sound like everyone wants to be in tech in Nigeria. Like I said, you are either good enough for the role or not, no in-between. And to be that good, you’ll have to put your time and resources, eg. money for data and electricity. Finally, Tech is all about creativity.

We're saying the same thing.
My point still remains that even if a large majority of unemployed Nigerians had decent tech skills and could compete on with IT folks from advanced countries, the problem of unemployment would still be the same.

Tech cannot simply absorb all the unemployed youths we have

Csami:
I disagree with everything except the infrastructural gaps and where you’re implying that Naija isn’t big in tech as the West and Asia.
Tech is very wide and there’s no in-between. You’re either good enough or not, and you’re not limited to Nigeria. Decent tech guys in Naija are not that much. Tech skills take time and resources. The question is this, are you decent enough to land that tech job?!

Your opinion is valid and correct but you're coming at it from an individualistic standpoint. Of course any tech-inclined person who knows his onions cannot complain about lack of jobs (poor pay, maybe; but a lack of jobs? nahh).

I'm just saying that tech (both domestic and foreign roles) cannot absorb the humongous number of unemployed Nigerians.
The entire nature of the tech industry is designed to only favour a select few deemed the "best of the best".

In recent years, the world has witnessed an unprecedented surge in technology, with innovative startups and tech giants captivating global markets and imaginations. This tech frenzy has sparked hope for many developing economies, like Nigeria, seeking solutions to their unemployment woes. However, beneath the façade of success, it becomes clear that the entire tech boom is more of a bubble than a long-term solution to unemployment in these areas.

Without question, technology has revolutionized sectors and created various job opportunities around the world. Yet, the notion that technology alone can sustainably solve unemployment in developing economies like Nigeria is fundamentally flawed. Several things contribute to this challenging situation

Limited Inclusivity
The tech industry, particularly in Nigeria, favours a chosen few with specialized skills, leaving the majority of the workforce out. The demand for a highly educated and competent workforce creates a huge hurdle for people who lack access to decent education, aggravating inequality and unemployment rates.

Automation Threat
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence and automation technology may streamline business operations while also displacing traditional jobs. In nations like Nigeria, where many people rely on labour-intensive jobs, the automation wave could result in massive job losses due to a lack of alternative employment opportunities.

Infrastructure Gaps
While technology has enormous potential, it is primarily reliant on sturdy infrastructure and a consistent power supply, both of which are frequently missing in many emerging economies. Nigeria's IT sector confronts problems such as inconsistent internet connectivity, frequent power outages, and inadequate digital infrastructure, limiting its ability to have a long-term influence on unemployment.

Vulnerability to Market Fluctuations
The tech industry is no stranger to market fluctuations, and developing economies like Nigeria may find themselves exposed to the volatility of the global tech market. Dependence on this industry as a primary solution to unemployment leaves these countries prone to economic shocks when the tech bubble inevitably bursts.


As a response to these factors, developing economies must adopt a more comprehensive and diverse approach to address unemployment sustainably.
This includes investing in education and vocational training to equip the workforce with a broader set of skills and ensuring that these skills are relevant to the local job market. Additionally, governmental policies that nurture traditional industries and encourage entrepreneurship in non-tech sectors can provide much-needed stability and opportunities for job creation.

In conclusion, while the tech craze has indeed shown its potential to generate employment opportunities, it cannot be the sole solution to the deep-rooted unemployment challenges faced by developing economies like Nigeria. A more nuanced and multi-faceted approach is imperative to build a resilient and diverse economy, ensuring that the benefits of technological advancements are accessible to all and not just a select few. Only then can these nations safeguard themselves against the bursting bubble of the tech craze and build a more sustainable future for their citizens.

But let me know what you think, am I being pessimistic towards the possibilities of tech? Or do you have reasons to believe the tech industry can usher Nigeria into a new chapter of economic prosperity? Kindly drop your opinion in the thread below.

lol, I wonder how cash-strapped the FG must be for it to make such a fiscal policy.

people in general are always skeptical about vaccines...

but that's what happens when you aren't trying to survive against smallpox, polio and the bubonic plague;
it gives you plenty of time to discredit the importance of vaccines.

Zeddyzed:
I would like any finance expert to explain this to me like a 5 year old. In 2021, there seemed to be a lot of money in the world, stocks and crypto were all doing well. Now everything is doing badly, where did all the money go? In 2008, when there was a global recession, we could blame the collapse of the US housing market, what is wrong now? Why is there a shortage of money in the world right now?

first of all, you have to understand the concept of money.
money isn't real.
it was designed to be a means of storing and transferring "value".

let's chill first and look at what exactly a recession is.

in the simplest of terms, a recession is a reduction of economic activities in a country (or on a global scale in this context). In other words, a significant fall in the GDP for a prolonged period (maybe 3 fiscal quarters) technically qualifies as a recession.

Now wetin be GDP? GDP na basically the total amount of money SPENT in an economy (a simplified definition sha).
that means from the pure water you buy to Dangote building his refinery, basically all the transactions carried out in a country in a period of time added together forms your GDP. (that is why Nigeria has a GDP larger than Finland, 200M+ people exchanging money really adds up).

Anyhow sha, back to money. we said it's a store of value abi? confam.
Capitalism saw this and was like, "hold my beer" and found a way to Bleep it up; hence the introduction of stocks and crypto and what not.

unlike money which stores actual value. the stock and crypto market thrive on speculation. this essentially means that the value of your crypto entirely depends on the collective belief that it has value. the more people believe, the more it becomes valuable. creating a sort of economic bubble, eventually people realised that pictures of monkeys and coins based on dogs weren't all that valuable and boom, the value of crypto tanked a bit. the whole FTX saga showed the world the cryptoverse is just one big Ponzi scheme.

in things were going great, until COVID hit...
all of a sudden, people weren't spending money the way they usually do.
in order to maintain their GDP, countries started pumping money into their economy to stimulate them.
it seemed to be working, then Ukraine-Russia start to dey fight, supply chains got disrupted, China remembered communism and started cracking down on its economy and basically a clusterfuck of other issues brought us to the point we are.

now the main thing to understand is while some countries will definitely go into a recession, they necessarily wouldn't like they're in one because like I said, a recession is essentially a reduction in economic activities.

but other countries like Nigeria?
make we dey see sha. 2023 is gonna be a movie.

I hope this helped a bit.

lol, wow.

I can't wait till the news carries the next corruption case...

funny thing is that we all subconsciously assume that there's gonna be a case where everyone says "Oya, e don do" and rage against the abomination referred to as the Nigerian Government.

but sadly this will not be the case...
no one is coming to save us.
and from the looks of things, we sure as hell ain't saving ourselves.

fast forward to 20 years from now.
in a history class in Canada, a young individual of Nigerian descent will give a well researched presentation on the Collapse of the Nigerian State, and an apt summary for the paper will be; "they drowned, they all drowned, without even struggling."

So allah is another name for Lord Luggage?

Coward Aregbesola should nullify and say according to the Quran, those pagan days would no longer be recognized. Those that criticize him should face sharia panel.

agreed!

such pagan activities should be outlawed in our Allah's given land.

Jimmythewise:
There are societies that are better than others. The democratic ones usually end up on the least.

that's debatable...

while I agree democracy is far from the perfect system, humanity as a whole has made considerable progress under its influence.

Jimmythewise:
Democracy is the greatest sin against mankind. Once the number of fools outnumber the intelligent, boom you have a catastrophic environment to live in.

lol, cool down commie.

all political ideologies are idealistic on paper.
the insatiable greed of man corrupts everything no matter how noble it seems.
