Haven't you heard of a Youth Corper from one of the Eastern States some few years ago who couldn't express herself in English language? It's that bad for some of the people we have parading the streets as graduates today.

If he has such confidence, he should have channelled it into marketing a particular product and he'll certainly make a hell of money!

That pic is old. I saw it several months ago on Linda Ikeji's blog. Anyways, in regards to the picture, I guess that is what Nigeria has become. A country where many of the youths are unemployed. Sad.

Must we all look for "white collar job" ?

What about farming and other necessities people can't do without.

The thing that is often neglected or looked down upon pays very well in the long and short run.

Actually, the young man can be employed by my Coconut Oil company provided he has good marketing skills added to his qualification. We are looking for a Sales and Marketing Officer that will help meet up our target allocated to him monthly and the salary is 25k to start with other good benefits. If the poster have his contact, he should send his cv to sebasicoconutltd @ gmail . Com and he will have an edge if applied before July 30.
The problem with Nigeria is that the entrepreneurship revolution by young people just began not more than 2 years ago. The govt and even banks are not encouraging small businesses. It is well and it will be better one day. Only we don't know how soon..

Somebody needs a job and you're all spewing nonsense about starting a business. The following is the perfect answer for you guys.

nchewi:

My dear, it's easier said! Not everybody has access to the kind of information dat u have and not all is that knowledgeable/smart to spot opportunities. Yet, we all have our purpose.
All that guy wants, is to be useful 2 his society! He wants to earn his meal!! Is that too much to ask for? grin
And I'll have to add that he might not have the training or the skills to run a business.

No sob story. He just wants a job and he has listed his qualifications (an indication of his skills), contact details and is probably standing in rush hour traffic. More effective than giving cvs to receptionists or posting CVs all over the internet that potential helpers might not see or bother to read. The guy is very enterprising, resourceful and is thinking out of the box. He already stands out from the army of job seekers in Nigeria. I don't know many recruiters who will not want to hire a guy like this. I'll hire this kind of guy any day. I'm not surprised that he got a job as a result of this. It is just so unusual that it has to work.

Why didnt he learn from this guy who sold Charcoal? http://iafricash.com/i-sold-charcoal-and-firewood-in-my-dream-egunjobi/
I SOLD CHARCOAL AND FIREWOOD IN MY DREAM – Egunjobi

NIGERIA – He got tired of the white collar job and picked up the black collar job. He is Egunjobi Olusoji Olaniran, a graduate of Business Administration, Lagos State University, LASU, Nigeria. He spoke with I- AFRICASH. Diamond Brain in this interview captures his travail and success story in Charcoal Business as well as the meaning he makes from what some people may call demeaning jobs.

Egunjobi Olusoji Olaniran is a citizen of Ondo State, South West, Nigeria. “I received a lot of inspiration from my mother who will always say, even though you want to sell pepper, have a good Education.”

He has worked for 6 companies as a casual worker but ended up being frustrated out of them.

He recalled the story of his turning point in 2003 and he shared it with I-AFRICASH.

“In 2003, my boss gave me a query when I got to the office saying that i was late to work. It really touched me, so I asked myself for how long will I continue like this – serving under people”

Egunjobi saw the query as a challenge. This spurred him to do a reality check of his life. He eventually made up his mind to face life from another dimension which is to dare the charcoal business.

“I left the office that day. So on my way, I saw a woman trading charcoal and I began to give it a thought. After this, I remember that I dreamt that I was always selling charcoal and fire wood.”The dream to Mr. Egunjobi was a clue of what next to do.

Expectedly, every business has its teething period. As for Mr. Egunjobi Olaniran, it was not a different story. He explained to I-AFRICASH that a lot of his friends were displeased and wanted him to continue with the white collar job.

“But today see me. I did my wedding; cater for my family and I established my wife for her Fashion design business. With charcoal business, I take care of my children and even meet other people’s needs”

He joined the Charcoal Suppliers Association of Nigeria (CSAN) as a Marketer which allows him to sell in retail after giving N7,500 and some token food and drinks items to the association.

Few years into the business as a Market, Egunjobi took a giant stride of being a large scale dealer popularly called Supplier. He joined the Suppliers’ team and his knowledge base expanded much that he makes more return from sales. Also getting quality charcoal at a pocket friendly price becomes easier.

2 years after he joined the Ebira Firewood and Charcoals Sellers Association of Nigeria (EFCSAN) precisely in 2011, his proficiency and contribution was identified in the association and he rose to the position of the National Secretary of the EFCSAN.

“ Ebira people have been in charcoal business since 1932.” he revealed.

But is charcoal business really that lucrative in Nigeria? Mr Egunjobi answered it. “It requires wisdom, perseverance and experience to survive in the business.” He explained that buying in the dry season to sell in raining season makes more business sense.

Explaining the process that makes a charcoal, “A hole of 6 feet is dug and we burn the wood there. We cover it and light it up. It burns until it becomes red and then to black. And we package it as charcoal. When you are using it in your coal pot or whatsoever, it turns to red, then to white and arches. It has no side effect, unlike firewood which affects sight especially at old age.” he explained.

“Choosing the right location, capital and experience will give you more sales in charcoal. A good customer relation has helped me.” he said.

Egunjobi admits that he has gained and sustained more customers by carrying their goods for them after purchase.

“My most embarrassing moment in this business was a day after my birthday, 4th of June 2008. The woman did not know that I understand English. She came to buy, but she called me all sorts of names” Egunjobi lamented that the woman talked him down and abused him with disapproving words, but he kept mute.” I was sad much that I shed tears that day.”

“3 months after she came back and apologized for her mistake. And today she still buys from me” he added.

Mr. Egunjobi sees himself as the number one exporter of charcoal in Nigeria in the next five years.
