If those with good grades can't secure jobs in Nigeria, what hope do graduates with average grades have? Read below the shocking and touching plight of a First Class graduate of the of the University of Greenwich, London, UK -who had to work in a motor park to hustle for cash....

This was shared by Abdullahi A Abdullahi on Facebook on June 1, 2016;

I have been feeling sore since yesterday following a heart-breaking scene I witnessed at the popular Area 1 Park. Struggling to stop rains of punches on his face was a young guy in his 30s. He was being mercilessly mobbed by two other guys who were cursing, using all sorts of obscenities.

I don't want moved me sha, but I had to alight from my car in rescue of this guy. I managed to stop the guys from their vicious dexterities on this guy but not without getting a slight scratch on my left ear.

In between shoving, I managed to push this guy into my car as I drove away to a distant into safety. I could hear the guys shouting after us, threatening to end his life if he dares return to join them. Distant away to safety, I asked the visibly shaken guy what the problem was and thus went into a heart shattering narrative that left me perpetually sore.

"My brother, what you just witnessed was one of the trials of life oh. Sitting with you here is a first class graduate of the University of Greenwich, London, UK. (September, 2011 – July, 2014)

BSc (Hons.) Business Information Systems. I am jobless and stranded. I came into Abuja yesterday for an interview; I finished the interview and ran out of cash. Because I didn't want to be seen as a beggar, I decided to join this guys calling for passengers. In three hours, I made N800. So I decided to gather at least N2000 that can take me back to Lagos. That was when these guys pounced on me, demanding that I register as a union member with N5000. I told them my predicament but they insisted of taking my phone."

"My name is Abimbola Kareem, married with two kids from Lagos state. Im not just a first class product oh but a proficient person. I am highly dedicated Business Systems Analyst with working knowledge of Business Intelligence, Web and Information Systems development and general products marketing. My understanding of system analysis got me the scholarship from the NNPC to study abroad. My brother, I came back and still can't get a job oh."

He saw the tears in my eyes and he too joined in the cry. It was an emotional time for me. In my car is a total stranger pouring out his heart to me. I stopped my tears and decided to give him hope. I could see hunger in him but he swore he wasn't hungry. With the little stipends on me, I drove him to Jabi Park and he boarded a vehicle going to Lagos. We exchanged numbers and I left him more shattered.

This morning, He called me to show his appreciation and his wife also prayed for me. I asked that he send his CV, which he eventually sent this evening. As I type this, I have his very rich CV with me. I don't know where to take it to but I have this strong feeling that if I share this story here, someone somewhere may help somehow. We can't afford to waste such a product. Share this story as far as possible until someone employs Abimbola.

Pls if u know the guy, tell him to apply KPMG or PwC. If he is very good, I believe they'll recruit him.

Dosn't mean people with average qualifications arn't getting jobs, everyone's lucks varies. It's little about qualification

Yeah, village people at work, because been sponsored by NNPC and graduated with that feat is enough to grant him automatic slot BUT maybe he didn't spread his tentacles ontime, at the sametime,...He should pray hard..."Oju eni mala, ariyonu"

Create job for yourself with the knowledge you've acquired

He should go back to d village and apologise to dat mad woman

.

If u hear some pple story ehn,u go know say God really bless u

Kpmg or pwc wud have bin a perfect fit for him to start his career but I doubt if age is still on his side

Chukwudi Come Home to the Village

Bros i know i met a guy in bayelsa who is a first class graduate in accounting in uk but he is in the village no job

Sad story. But when will you learn? Even those who have jobs are losing it, being retrenched almost everyday. And yet people are still coming with BIG degrees feeling as if the society OWES THEM a job just because you have a big degree. With his field of expertise and professional training, there's a lot he could do for himself with it. But they'll never learn. Many are still going out to get BIGGER AND BIGGER degrees and then come back DEMANDING for a job!

When are you going to get it into your head, WHAT WE NEED NOW ARE SKILLS AND ENTREPRENEURS, People who CREATE JOBS not people who are looking for jobs. We don't need BIG DEGREES anymore. We need BIG SKILLS and JOB CREATORS

Buhari is just a failure ahn ahn! This never happened when the HERO OF OUR DEMOCRACY was in power. Buhari sef

Hmmmmm, no smoke without fire. There must be something more to the story.
Even people with 2nd class UK degrees are managing to get jobs.

This is mental laziness jare, you have a first class, yet you cannot create a small scale job abi? You wasted your years in school...now I know why Brymo gave that epic advise...brah, start a small business while you wait for something 'big'. Please, don't rant about capital, you must have saved up something little from your 20 hours a week job ( we all did it, no be only you school abroad).

Men so sad
Reading in uk only to have them ttell u to go back after all money spent is npt worth it
Ok he said he got scholarship..... But UK is scamming nigerians
