Let's us all use our immaginations and set ourselves free from the shakles of unemployment in Nigeria
Absolute victory awaits us all

Ehis Abuya

Excellent move: thief, ole, barawo, ino.

Why the name calling please?

If molestation victims,gays and lesbians could come out to voice out their minds,my heart bleeds for those that though jobless finds it difficult to identify with a group with the idea of kicking against unemployment

The desire to form an association that is aimed at kicking against unemployment commenced yesterday in Lagos despite discouragement by some Nigerians who probably might also be jobless yet decides to "package" their problems
They are the CEO's we see on facebook yet they still depend on their parents for recharge cards.

"Kendric Tejiro resides in Delta state yet he came down to Lagos,battled with traffic, slept in a church, had very little for dinner and no breakfast the next morning just to attended the first meeting"

Barrister ikeri okey took a flight from Imo state left his chambers,his family and clients graced the occasion and returned that same day to Imo state,

Oyo-ita effiong came all the way from benin to Lagos despite he's tight schedules
Sandra kayero,John odianose came from Ibadan,
Dammy from Abeokuta Ogun state , Oni Michael from Sango otta ogun state. Just to mention a few.
So many young men and women left their wives,kids and families just to make history
Well,all I can say is nothing but every man would reap according to what he sows!!what else or what more do we want from patriotic Nigerians.

The meeting was held at Unilag sport centre as earlier announced.
It commenced about 10am although we didn't allow the media into the meeting due to the fact that it just the first meeting, offices were assigned to willing and ready member
Posts include(all interim)
National coordinator
Three PRO
Two Secretaries
Four Mobilisation officers
Administrative officers(Facebook,twitter handlers,website and blog managers)

We concluded on 3 names to be forwarded to the cooperate affairs commission as the official name of the Association

Amongst the criteria for registration includes trustees selection(2 each from each geopolitical zones) which we did and hope to contact them
A constitution committee was set aside to work on the constitution and report in 3 weeks
A lot of issues were discussed,resolved,added subtracted and we all saw the meeting as a huge step in achieving a socio-economical height in the nearest future. The National coordinator gave a wonderful opening speech which was like a blueprint on which the hinges of the meeting turned.
We were blessed by the presence of wise and fast thinking individuals
Ayodeji babalola was a great contributor, oyo-ita Effiong indeed is an orator
Kendrick Tejiro took everything to another level breaking down plans like he has done the appraisal before,Men were more than women

Oni michael added a whole lot of wisdom and experience to the meeting giving several ideas on how to go about tackling our problems in Nigeria.
Shomoye Damilola gave the closing remark and the long waited item 7 followed.
And I must mention that am not impressed by the Lagosians turn out....
Nigeria is the only country we have
Youths must stand up because we are the leaders of tomorrow
Its time to come out and claim what's rightfully ours
Let's reason together, we have no money and we don't intend soliciting for money at all,our strength and confidence is in our number
Let come out in mass and let our voices merge into one and speak in onenes. The world must hear our cry and know what we fighting is a for the betterment of all Nigeria unemployed and under employed graduate.
MISSION/VISSION(summary)
NB(still working on the constitution)
Boosting Agriculture and industrialisation,
Ban of any goods that can be produced in Nigeria,
Pushing of memorandum to the house of assembly for the payment of unengaged nigerian graduates,
Influencing government policies to improve the job market for graduates,
kicking against sales of jobs,
Kicking against ambiguous and frivolous criteria for job recruitment eg Age, working experience,Tribalism,state of origin,Language,

Thanks to all those present and those who couldn't make it because the are far away and those who where unavoidably absent..
Thank you guys so much
From the National coordinator
Ehis Abuya

With reference to the minute of the last meeting.

[size=14pt]I carefully read thru with glint of smile and accomplishment glaring through my face and heart.
I know it wasn't an easy move as the first step is usually the hardest but all thanks to God for haven made it a success.
The out come of the meeting is a huge success beyond my expectation considering the listed accomplishments. Kudos to all who aided it directly or indirectly.[/size]

However I still suggest for a slight change in the "name" cos from my observation, its a huge turn-off as most interested persons wouldn't want to identify with such as it is.
The facebook page has less than 1000 persons and most interested individuals wouldn't want to like the page so it dos'nt send notifications to their timeline where the world could see it. The general notion about "unemployment" is joblessnes and most people wouldn't want to be stigmatised with such and the pity that comes with it.
So please mr ehis abuya (national co-ordinator) do look into it.

Thanks.

If only the National Directorate of Employment could tell us how they arrived at the conclusion that just 3.3 million Nigerians are unemployed out of a total of 170 million people.
If only the National Directorate of Employment could tell us how the census was conducted,and the people that were counted
Nigerians need answers to how many youth coppers were retained after service

NDE Director-General, Mallam Abubakar Mohammed said the directorate had in October last year introduced the scheme to create jobs as well as “solve the national malaise of mass failure in public examinations’’.

According to him, the scheme is aimed at helping candidates with deficiencies in public examinations, such as West African Examinations Council (WAEC), National Examination Council (NECO) and Joint Admissions Matriculation Board(JAMB), to improve their grades through proper coaching.

Has he forgotten graduates are jobless
Why not help those qualified graduates to get jobs than coaching WAEC and JAMB failures

We want to know if there are NDE Co-ordinator in all 36 states of the federation and what they have been doing to solve unemployment!!!
Tell us, we need to know
Thanks
Ehis Abuya

My special appreciation goes to the trio of Ehix, Yinka and Damsel for there relentless effort in the cause of humanity and in making this country a better place to live in, may God almighty attend to everything that concerns you guys.

Let me also use this medium to thank all the people that presented themself that day in making history and ensuring the meeting took place as scheduled coz without you guys all our efforts would have been futile and to those of us that wish to come but couldn't make it due to an unforeseen circumstances may almighty Allah bless us and crown our effort with good success..

The BBM group is still functioning, the FB is having more popularity and our Twitter Handle too is gaining more followers by days, so for the people that neither possesses a BB nor a twitter account we now deem it fit to create another group on Whatsapp so that we can get much people involve and carry all of us along without leaving anybody out.

So if you wanna join the group add me Yusuff (08064677418)....

#peace

@ehix, you did mention of abt three names set aside to be registered with CAC in respect to the name change of the association. May we know those names you people selected at the end of the meeting? Thanks.
