If you have tasted unemployment, you would say the move is better than nothing. Don't forget that every job in this country except very few, are slave jobs. I watched the other day on tv how young lawyers were complaining of the poor pay the receive from their bosses which ranges from N15,000-N25,000. Good job in name but no fulfilment and no good money. How do we see this? If we can ride cabs in abroad and be respected and make good money, then it behoves that we change our attitude/orientation and accord every job the respect and pay it deserves. what is important is how to keep body and soul together.

Personally, whilst this is not the most ideal situation, I believe it is better than having no job at all. I do not have the overall picture and facts of the matter, however I live in the UK and there are graduates doing all sorts of menial jobs, although I concede they are doing it grudgingly.

Look at it this way, if they get this taxi job and save most of their income, in a few years they may be able to start a business in their 'read' field, leaving behind taxi driving. Like the graduates abroad, they save the money they make abroad and when they return to Naija, they use this money to establish themselves.

Another point is that there is honour in labour, no matter which kind. It is more honourable than looting Nigeria’s coffers, like our so called 'leaders' do. Another point is that a graduate who drives a taxi will more than likely treat their passengers with more respect, this may change the taxi industry in that state for better, to the surprise and benefit of everyone.

It may be an unpleasant situation now, but this is an opportunity for the future.

However what I do not agree with is selling some useless form to them for £1700 and not even trying to create jobs that correlate to their level of literacy, he must go further and create jobs befitting of graduates.

I don't think you get the point.

It is the lack of ingenuity demonstrated by this slowpoke despite sitting in the midst of an avalanche of possibilities andopportunities.

The slowpoke is visionless, incompetent and illiterate (you can rearrange all 3 in any order you wish). The 3 are the ingredients of him coming up with such initiatives that is too poor to applaud.

His mindset is too basic, underdeveloped and backward.

Don't be surprised if his next big project is to provide loans to females to go to Dubai and buy gold or go to India to buy bleaching cream for sale in Nigeria.

May the graduate collect am fast fast, at least they de lucky to lay hands on a part of the national cake. I strongly advise them not to make returns, na their own b this. After all, the contract must have been inflated and money stolen in the process.
