Someone with a PHD should be creating a different kind of value in innovations , research and development and not diving into an over saturated job market .. Till date most Nigerians dont know the power of college education

PhD, abi?

Go and lecture, naa.

Congratulations!

OboOlora:
Sentiments apart, why have a PhD and keep applying for jobs? He's just too greedy to believe the qualification will make him more employable forgetting over qualification is also a problem and most PhD holders are academicians meant for classrooms and research labs and not offices earning huge salaries.

thank you so much for this. Even first class graduates ought to be teaching or settling down for lecturing. I wonder why they be dragging jobs with us that got 2nd class upper, lower and third class degrees

Most people with Ph.D are lab rats. They cannot think beyond being employees which is why drop-outs and B.Sc holder entrepreneurs hire them or best case scenario, they end up taking teaching jobs.

true talk! They can't think outside the box

Hmm! Was he really counting? I have a feeling this man is just adding ajasa to the story so as to trend.

Understanding the chemistry of life is the as aspects being an alchemist. So why will anybody in that position want to work anybody in a dark world like africa where the concept of the periodic table is still very much a mystery to the wider society?

True education is the beacon that shines the light in the darkest dungeon.

Pls what's the meaning of this PHD?

He said he had no work experience, so no wonder. But 110x is too much; something must've been wrong somewhere (his resume or interview skills, perhaps).

May be you dnt know anything.

Too much of education is bad, that is why most of them that have PhD etc end up working for people all their lives and teaching in Nigeria or stroking or selling handouts

While the little educated people will just open up business and employ the much educated ones


Irony of life

Even as an under graduate I'm making plans to launch my own mini ICT firm by and a PhD holder dey beg for job

No be by PhD oo.
Nigeria jagajaga jari.

This is not new. After I graduated from a PhD in Economics. I applied for many jobs before I got one.

NwaAmaikpe:


Zero work experience and you already have a Ph.D

He honestly was too over qualified for the jobs and no right-thinking Human Resource personnel in any Corporate organization will employ him as a fresher.

But who needs a Ph.D these days?

I doubt Bobrisky, Daniella Okeke or Mompha have past a basic college degree.

You are right. The dude was obviously over-qualified for the jobs he applied for. No outfit will be willing to employ such a person as a new staff considering the high remuneration for the holder of a PhD.

Unfortunately, you do not understand the passion that drives them.

You go school na wahala
You no go,na wahala

Webman007:
Why is the focus on getting a job rather than creating one even with PhD?

that's the problem...

How many jobs have you created?
Most people are employees even in developed
countries and will continue to be.

PhD's everywhere in the world are mostly workers. They are not some magicians.
Even most MBA's who are trained for business end up working for others.

This your myopic view na wa oooo, Nigeria cannot develop like dis na!
Oya you, what does our society demand? Kindly answer this fundamental question before i write you an epistle.
Thanks.

johnnyvid:
so so pathetic situations. even at PH.d level, he didn't get the job on time. not to talk of b.SC level. God help Nigeria graduates.

People should get this, a b.sc holder has a better oppurtunity of getting a job quickly than a PH.d holder. PH.d is for those going for higher professional jobs like lecturing e.t.c that required deeper knowledge..I only have b.sc but i almost get invited for jobs interview regularly, because of the skills n experience i have...

When most of us no even take tally again Jah will help us out, Amen!

If your idea of doing a PhD is to get a job that will pay you billions, you better use your time for something else!
As you can see, employers are more inclined towards work experience than certificate. He clearly stated that he had ZERO EXPERIENCE!!!
With a PhD, lecturing should have been an option.... even if it is plan Z. He also didn't think of doing his own stuff. Haba.....PhD research is solving a problem, filling an industry gap. His attitude too.....na today!

yes everybody shd keep reading till d highest level is attained b4 u seek a job. Do all menial jobs to keep going in d mean time.

With PhD you should be knowledgeable enough to create jobs
