Unemployment in Nigeria and the way forward
Two sets of people exist in life:
- Masters
- Servants.
Every year about 200,000 students graduates from the university and 90 percent of them jumps into labour market the aim of getting a job, less than 25 percent of them will get jobs. That is about 50,000 will have jobs, 15 percent of them will earn between 15,000 Naira to 30,000 Naira monthly.
In fact, reliable statistics have it that we have more than 40 million unemployed people in the country today. It is a pathetic situation.
The major reason why there are so many unemployed graduates in the country today is because the available jobs does not equate with the number of unemployed people. They are no jobs out there , and there is too much demand for the little there is.(Remember that tragic immigration Department recruitment 2014).
Most unemployed people are proud people. No one should call himself unemployed, if you are not employed , then deploy your skills; they are unwilling to start small.
Some market women sells vegetable leave in the market and build houses, even send there children to the university. You are saying, you cannot sell fuel because you are graduate! Imagine if you sold fuel but this time with style, packaging and intelligence.
Many motivational speakers teach people on how to create a standard CV, package themselves for interviews and all that but the bitter truth is that THERE ARE NO JOBS OUT THERE!
Today, " There is a Clarion call ENTREPRENEURS" Nigeria as a country needs you to begin that business no matter how small so that you can help reduce the number of people in line for job interviews and aptitude tests.
Looking at the life of the Chinese, a chinese man goes into a new country, he looks for business, opportunities he can take advantages of. But a black man goes into a country to look for a job.
There are two important elements here: A Job creator and a job seeker.
We have 40 million job seekers in Nigeria, and very few employers.
The moment you let go your pride, you can start where you are with what you have and get where you want to get to, remember YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH UNTIL YOU TRY.
