So, this handsome guy was at my place of work looking for an opening. After he was told that there was no vacancy, he practically wept, while begging those of us on the front desk to assist him with transportation to enable him go back to Ajah area,where he said,he has trekked halfway while coming.
To be sure of his identity,I curiously demanded for his credentials and to my surprise, he brought his original NYSC (indicating 10years )and other credentials and his NIN slip.
I pitifully gave him my little change. And promise to let fellow Nigerians know how graduates are roaming about in search for jobs.

Lol . Your skills are not sufficient enough to be above 50% of the persons that are seekin for job. You wanna get employed? Skill up and they will look for you instead of you for them. Learn what's difficult to learn and you'll be a sort after. Cheers 🥂..

I will start with what I have: embedded systems skills/ioT I'm a full stack software engineer but like you all know that part is becoming too saturated. I started my IoT journey at the moment I have persons coming far and wide to give me jobs. I've been contracted by two profs to teach them.
Another skill I'm pursuing now is machine learning the core parts. Not the common web developer skills that every dick and harry can do.
Although I cant do everything I am planning on doing cyber security for fun it pays a huge deal to be a professional here as well. My friend was pain 1.5m to tutor someone and certification on cyber security/ethical hacking professionally cost at least 1000usd.
Lol 😂 I failed to mention networking computer networking. Most persons don't know how this works neither do I. But I know someone that makes millions from it.
People are learning programming languages like JavaScript and Python lol 😂 people that have that skill are too much guess what? I've learned c++( maybe cause I need it for IoT and firmware development) and now I'm using Rust ( another challenging programming language to learn.
Don't learn what others are rushing to learn!

Now these are skills that are very difficult to learn but I find joy in pursuing them.

first of all, am sorry to use the word "LUCKY" because is not entirely revolved around luck. Hard-search/work, diligence, non-relentleness, connection are all involved before luck comes in. But let me tell you something, there are dozens of graduates who've done all these things even harder, better and longer than you/us and yet nothing to show for it. So not all "jobless" graduates are lazy. Personally, till today i hav'nt did my clearance and am not even borderd about it because i have seen/found a way, infact a better one. But suprisenly, there are many graduates who are more brilliant and hard worker than me on the street. Why? Because our luck and time are different. MY OPINION THO!
