This is post is targeted at graduates of 1-10 years.

Few days ago, a graduate of 10 years threatened to burn his certificate, this got me thinking.. Is it that bad? A graduate of 10 years cannot map out a career path or business plan to follow tentatively. This thoughts actually formulated these questions..

Are you doing what you envisaged as an undergraduate, or are you utilizing your survival instinct's.
If you affirm the formal..
What is it?
What are your challenges?
Is it related to course of study?

And if the later is affirmed..
What are those things you do to survive?
What are your challenges?

Your experience will help mold undergraduates and graduates alike and in turn, deter them from towing that shameful path like burning of certificate e.t.c

Let me give you a little secret about labor market. Using myself as an example, I have worked in more than 6 companies in 3 different countries and continent. Most times after about 2 years, i just get bored and feel like changing employer or when i ask them for a raise or favor. Now back to your question, the secret is this, know what the society needs and demands, then develop yourself in that particular aspect, then you will see as jobs will be coming your way.

Ofodirinwa:
Who are these Nigerians that get excited anytime they see somebody with white skin do anything Nigerian? Has anyone shown enthusiasm because you as a black african can speak English? Nigerian social media is 50% tribalism 50% white people wearing gele.

I see inferiority complex in your comment.
1. Not all oyinbos speak english
2. There are black oyinbos who speak english so when a black african speak english it aint new
3. If black african speak chinese, russian, malaysian languages, etc, they see it as big deal

so get out of your inferiority complex or "wokeness"

There are many ways to stay back in the US besides marriage. In terms of what skills to learn, I will leave that to your passion.

dont mind all these arm chair commentators and writers who hasnt been to US

Nairalandforme:
Please,I dont know if this is the right section to post this; your advice is really needed from our guys who stays in the US.

I am considering learning a skill before going for an MSc in the US in 6-months time. I would like to go for Truck driving because my dad drives one and I know he will expose and teach me well, faster and with all his heart. He has been on it right since my birth (over 30 years) here in Naija, He has drove for many companies including don.gote, tetr.alog, and the likes. I learnt it is not easy to get a job that can sponsor a work visa to remain in the US after ones study, so if I learn this from him, maybe I could and get certified, I can get a company that can sponsor a work visa easily why eyeing my dream job. I need an advice on this if it will worth it .

Pls, I need a sincere advice from our brothers over there.
Mod pls help me move this to front page Abeggg!!!

skills to survive while in school- barbing, plumbing, mechanics, furniture or any artisan skills will be of help. talking from experience

Hehehehe

The way black people dey worship Oyinbo

One lady wey marry oyinbo travel never allow people rest for WhatsApp since she travel like a week ago.

She has been changing her WhatsApp dp 5-7 times a day.

WhatsApp status na like 38-45 (no exaggeration)

For the past one week now, we never rest 🤣🤣

Even when she never travel na like 8-10 times in one week she dey post her wedding pics with Oyinbo as if everyday na wedding anniversary 🤣

stop looking at her status so that you can rest.

Gamesmart:


Yeah, I know Maryland is Yoruba.

And I know Dallas is Igbo.

Dallas is mostly Yoruba not igbo

Gamesmart:


I really struggle to believe there are more Yorubas in the USA than Igbos.

I am suspecting maybe Yorubas just teach their kids their indigenous language more than Igbos.

There are more Yorubas in the UK than Igbo. I struggle to believe that is also the case in the USA.

I have met many more Yorubas than Igbos and i havent met any Hausa.

Realiskit:
. You're wrong. Nothing is wrong in sharing their first experience with snow. Besides here in Germany and many European countries , the natives still take out their children to play during snow falls.
So don't be hard on them, it is just normal thing during the winter season.

dont mind the wannabee fool, its obvious he hasnt been to the airport before.

Chassy03:
Spit on you and your family for disgracing us.

@Chassy03 , @benzion72, @Offpointng, @idomytin, @Rahkman, @VeryWickedGoat et all

All these wannabees who have never set their feet outside the shores of Nigeria and are suffering from inferiority complex always insulting the OP just because he is an African.

I have seen lots (i mean lots) of whites who are looking forward to having the first snow experience, i have also seen whites who travel to the North during winter just to have snow experience, i have seen pictures and videos of adult whites who are playing in the snow, but just because the OP is a black man, y'all have issues with him and making derogatory statement about his experience. Y'all are obviously envious of him and his family but because you are feeling insecure and inferior y'all wont admit that.

Do y'all also know that there is now a new trend among white families adopting blacks because they like our skin and us. but these stupid wannabees who knows NOTHING will always feel inferior and insecure.

benzion72:


I see go and ask why white American prefer Florida and California

Also find out why California and Florida are the most populous state in America

you still did not answer my question.

tinsel:

The point is the person criticizing did not practice what he was advocating.

Does the person making the criticism matter? i am also criticizing

tinsel:
In 2009, when Obi was the governor of Anambra state, his 2009 budget for Governor's office was higher than that of education and health combined.
Compare below his 2009 budget with that of Chimaraoke.
Should we discuss how, under your leadership, Anambra budgeted N5.8 billion and N5.3 billion for the Executive Governor's office in 2009 and 2008, respectively, while the total budget for education was just N2.8 billion?

The way Obi talks about health and education, you would think he spent a lot on capital expenditure for them
- Governor's office : ₦5.8B
- Edu: ₦2.8B
- Health: ₦1.5B
Compare this with
@ChimarokeNamani
2005 budget:
- Governor's Office: ₦1.4B
- Edu: ₦10.7B
- Health: ₦4.3B

so your point now is that it is right for the FG to allocate so much for frivolities

Offpointng:
Y'all matured just go abroad and act like Kids and jungle folks at the sight of snow and those dem oyinbos go jux dey look una shake head. what happens to gathering all the family together, watching from the window inside or licking the ones that fall by ur window turn by turn if u so wish

Very poor if you'd ask me

have you EVER stepped out of your village not to talk more of outside Nigeria.
now, its poor for bad belle like you.

benzion72:
Eyinbo detest winter always looking forward to summer. Ignoramus black man want to experience subzero freezing temperature. Chai this life no balance

how many oyinbos have you met that "detest" winter for you to conclude that he is an ignoramus because he is excited about snow experience. you are suffering from inferiority complex.

VeryWickedGoat:
The neighbours just peeping through their windows in disgust at the Black Monkey family acting bush.

this kind of comment comes from someone suffering from inferiority complex who most likely has not step beyond the walls of his village. Do you know lots of white have not experienced the snow before and are also looking forward to the experience and will do the same thing as he did? But because he is black like you, you think he is acting bush. you sound like a fool.

This time last year, I didn’t know I’d be married this year. A lot has happened in one year, met my wife in a strange manner, loved her and finally got married to her.

https://www.nairaland.com/7847420/how-met-fiancee


I will like to keep my anonymity so unfortunately no pictures here. But I can give you a good description, she’s the last child and only daughter, so you know how she must have been pampered. Her mum was so emotional and she had tears roll down her cheek on the D-day, it was lovely though to see such wonderful connection.

My wife is tall, ebony and in her early twenties. White sparkling teeth, bright eyes, always smiling. She’s the perfect gift to me. The wedding was simple yet beautiful. I am so fortunate to have her in my life.

And the best gift came after. Let me whisper it (I met her at home, tear rubber)

congratulations and welcome to the league of tear rubber husbands.
I am happy for you. i know the feeling

FFO, so you are yet to get your priorities right?

which priority?

Lesson learnt, any opportunity you see in Nigeria, just take it because by tomorrow, the prize would increase to 3×

do not get involved in illegality. paying to be a "dependent" is a criminal offense.

Reminderz:
you would have considered what your cousin said because to me it was the best even though it might seem expensive to you...

you'll stay with the person, learn the ropes till you stand on your feet.. also, you won't find much trouble finding a home and paying rents, taxes and all that... I hope you've learnt your lesson...

that aside, there are various business you can do with 2M, invest in food business, snacks, accessories, gadgets, a salon, POS and the likes... invest in things that are of less risks and big ROI

There is nothing right in doing what is wrong, paying to be a dependent is nothing but a criminal offense.

Hi landers, there's this thing about female handwork that I have been thinking about, while growing up male child is open to different handwork which we all know, unlike the female ones that either learn tailoring or hairdresser/makeup, I would have added catering but they don't count that as handwork because it is something they easily learn from home, so there was a day I was having a conversation with my female colleague and she said she wants to learn makeup and then I asked her why, her reply was if she did learn makeup which other handwork can she learn apart from Hairdresser and Tailor, which brings the question apart from Hairdresser and Tailor which other handwork can a lady learn?

PS: I am not talking about online skills.

If you ever traveled out of Nigeria, you will then appreciate these so called "handwork" that Nigerians look than on.

As an example, in USA, you braiding cost as much as $300, that is without any materials, just workmanship.

As a tailor, just mending of cloth, its cost as much as $20/per.

Cutting of hair is from $50 upwards.


If you want to japa, learn "handwork" even if people are laughing at you, it will help you.

she will do the needful when the need arises

with the way you are defending her, i am suspecting you.

I have a proper Canadian visa, a friend I can stay with, and some tech connections. That's it

Work visa? School visa? Visiting visa?
What do you mean by proper Canadian visa? Are you eligible to work legally when you get there?

Martha Agba was a member of President Tinubu's Presidential Transition Committee

who's she?

Bnno:
racism for those countries no be here bro

Have you been to any of those counties?
How do you know there’s racism there?

The worst discrimination i had was in Malaysia where landlord asked me get a foreigner to serve as guarantor for me even though i was on work visa.

Another one was some top banks in Malaysia refused to open a salary account for me telling me that they blacklisted Nigerians.

I sha left the country

IconicR:
I did not support any previous government
I only supported Asiwaju and condemned Jonathan and Buhari
I'm not wicked not to know the plight of Nigerians but it's rather too early to give scorecard on this new administration
Let's give Asiwaju time

You can only say this if things remind the same way he met it. but if things are getting worse, giving him more time doesn't make ANY sense. Tinubu is already making it look like Buhari was better than him.
