Westlord: @Covop...... where & how did U get d@ authority or fact. Secondly wh@ is Ur qualification.
Scruitinise wh@ U say because U just might b a victim or will somehow wish U neva said somthings

Hayjaycity:

Help me tell am o...even with his fellow "professor too know" that was taking his sides. The OP was jst constructing his write up based on his imaginations..is that how he was taught in school, if he ever went o...

Professor2know:

@HAYJAYCITY & OTHERS,
Could u all please tell me and other Nairalanders, who may want 2 gain from your wisdom, one offence of covopfinconsult?

Unfortunately, he has not come out 2 validate his stance. Nevertheless, even though I'm not holding brief for him, i won't equally hold back from d fact that covopfinconsult pointed out facts that are inalienable: whether imaginative or speculative.

Now, let us put sentiments where they belong (in the mud), and sincerely take some time to analyse those 10 reasons above. I know if you are still jobless u probably fall short of at least one of them.

Westlord:
Alright Prof. I agree with U and I also want to let U knw d@ sound & healthy opinions & judgments are based on facts & precision.
Talking about analysis & placing sentiment whre it blongs, U have a point & also an unfinishd work else U just might scale those 10 reasons to 100.
Hint, an Unemployed (wh@ U mistake for jobless) person is differnt 4rm an Unemployable person.
Cheers

@Westlord,
i'm pretty sure that factors responsible 4 unemployment or joblessness in this country are far more than just 10. Even the government policy is not spared in it too.

But, what do we say to some graduates that were found unemployable, even at the point of getting the jobs?

u talked about sound & healthy opinion that should be based on accuracy & precision, forgetting that even computer also has some percentage of inaccuracy. no matter the extent of inaccuracy in covopfinconsult submission, he has made a valid contribution that should be corroborated for all of us to learn

1forall: I agree with the OP to a large extent though I'm not sure the 80% statistic is based on research or just an arbitrary figure.
We see a number of the listed reasons on this Jobs forum too for example:

Laziness: Some people come here to enquire about potential employers without doing even a little google search themselves beforehand. Some complain that a post is too long and can't be bothered to read it. Some see an advertised vacancy and still post "Can I apply?" If things like that are not laziness then I don't know what they are.

Wanting to get rich quick: Someone would post an obviously dubious post offering the world for nothing, and you would see people falling over themselves to drop their email addresses, nearly begging to be contacted. The desire to get rich quick impairs their sense of judgement and later some return to complain of being cheated or scammed or stuff like that.

And now that someone is nice enough to point out helpful & obvious truths like the OP, some shall still prefer to reject the truth for reasons only they can explain (or maybe they feel indicted).

OP what's your number 4 reason 'wrong public opinion', can you explain that?

Covopfinconsult: Recent findings from public surveys conducted in Nigeria reveal that over 30 million young Nigerians (below 40years) are unemployed or under-employed.
Why? Many people say government caused it all. But i disagree with them because even in developed nations of the world like UK, USA,Germany,Spain etc, there are still millions of jobless youths.Though, past and present Nigerian leaders have failed us in the area of job creation but the truth is that over 80% of reasons for joblessness are personal. Then, what are the real reasons for joblessness, here are 10 of them below

(1) Lack of discovery of individual potentials
(2) Wrong choice of academic or career pursuits
(3) Low creativity and innovation
(4) Wrong public opinion
(5) Personal sentiment
(6) Laziness
(7) Over dependence on corporate jobs
( Get rich quick syndrome
(9) Unwillingness to serve others or start small
(10)Ignorance of available job opportunities.

Are you presently unemployed or under-employed?Conduct a thorough self examination to see if one these reasons is the cause.
