Now look at this statement very well and you will discover what it means. Most graduate can not be employed, not because there are no jobs but because they are simply unemployable. Imagine interviewing a suppose graduate from a good nigeria uni and he or she cant make a complete sentence that makes sense. if you dont have the connection needed to get a good job in nigeria, then you can try to get some simple certification to help you. Imagine somebody graduated with 2 2 or 3 rd class, carry his file and start advertising is cv, then after 5 years of trying he says there is no job. The point am trying to make in simple terms is that your uni degree is no longer enough in this present nigeria especially if you dont have a good grade and yoi gat no connection. If you have the opportunity get your hands on some few cert ranging from oracle dba, java, microsoft various cert or finance like acca, aca, ciso to mention a few, just anything added to your degree. You dont have to wait to finish school, do it along side your study. just thinking out loud and hope somebody wi benefit from tnis post.

You're spot on when you say Nigerian graduates are unemployable. You don't need to be an employer of labour to know. It stares you right in the face in the NYSC orientation camp. Interact with some of 'em and you begin to wonder how on earth they passed through the walls of a university. The general dearth of values has also made the average graduate intellectually lazy, and entirely reliant on connections. It is too much of an effort for them to string together a stand-out interview winning CV. No organization worth its salt will ever recruit more than 30% of its workforce via connections at any point in time, unless its prepared to sink. Thus making that route to a job highly competitive.
