This is a kind of story that is typical of a Nigerian graduate. I have been giving advice here on nairaland for quite some time. But I noticed that most youths just brush aside many of the advice and continue chasing shadows. When one feels like commiting suicide, then it is time to look elsewhere. There is always something good out there which will help you out. You need to change the focus. Maybe you have been looking at the wrong direction. To call a spade a spade, you might not get a job in this present day Nigeria. I don't need to tell you the reason, I think it is obvious. My advice now is this: Start or do a business (There are some that do not involve money. For example making money online with your skills on sites like fiverr etc). There are many threads that have dealt with this making money online with your skills on nairaland but youths will just brush those aside as if it is nonsense. I have a thread where I discussed varying business ideas and all that. It is a thread which has been functional since 2013 and up till date, very relevant. I made a best-selling ebook out of this which is available for download online. Visit the thread here: https://www.nairaland.com/1163912/funds-not-business-actually-need Secondly, I will advice that you broaden your horizon...Travel out of the country! There are countless threads on the travel section of nairaland where you can get advice and all that. I also made a mobile app to this effect. It contains the right information you need at this time. The app is available for download online (Not free for obvious reasons). I believe, this is a mobile app that all Nigerian youths should have on their phone. For example, Canada government needs skilled workers to come into Canada to settle down and they do this through the Express entry program. You can see threads about this in the travel section but Nigerian youths seeking unavailable jobs will not go there. The travel abroad app contains all the information you need, straight to the point (For example Canada Express Entry, Australian immigration programme, and educational sites where to study abroad; Germany, Canada, Norway, South Korea etc). You can read some of my old threads here: https://www.nairaland.com/3564483/jobs-not-coming-why-dont 4 Likes 1 Share |

Fellow country men. It's with a broken heart I write this today. Consider this an SOS. I don't want to die of depression in this country. Somebody should please help me with a job. I am a masters degree holder in environmental technology from FUTO. I haven't been able to nail down a job in this country since 2012. I hope a kind soul will help me and not mock me. 09027846955 |

okoliexpress: No one it's easy. It's never easy, but one needs to start somewhere. You can't just start from the top without bypassing one challenge or the other. I used to carry about this mentality of "once you're a graduate, a mouthwatering job automatically awaits you". This wishes hardly come to pass and the more reason why we need to map out our future clearly just in case things go sour. you cant see someone clearly sounding suicidal and this is you advice to him...

[quote author=secretsuccess post=56981696]my name is joshua a chemical engineering graduate. it is so difficult to survive as a hardworking, honest and God fearing person here in Nigeria. After my NYSC i have been struggling from place to place, looking for opurtunities. i always shuttle from lagos to portharcourt...thinking that one day it will be well. i just discovered that it will never be well.. When we were in secondary school we were told to get a good course..my parents were happy when i got chemical engineering..then in school it was get a good result..that was no problem, i got a second class upper. Ater service it was get certified..ahh, no wahala.. i got my NEBOSH certificate..then again some said it was connection..ok, i joined lots of proffesional whatsapp groups after much work, i even had to pay for some...funny enough the so called proffesional group failed woefully. twice i was called for a job brief..twice i was rejected..the first reason was because i am igbo the woman saw my name and her countenance changed though she dashed me 2k and told me the usual words i would get back to you..ok, fair enough. The second was in portharcourt i was rejected because of my church..Roman catholic.. hmmm. A young man was also rejected for same reason he kept on complaining while i was just laughing..though later i begged him for #100 for my TP, he gave me sha.. he is a nice man. ok. i had to go back to the drawing board..met some people and they said i should just do further courses..oooo! course again, ok.. no wahala. i begged my mum to sell her bike for 110k so i can add 30k and do process safety and loss prevention..she accepted.. i sold the bike and did the course.. yet, no interview call. i said ok let me visit companies and give them the cv..my brother no show. i sat still again..and then reviewed my cv..paid 2k for push CV to review the cv..still no luck.. downloaded CV review app used it time and time again. same results.. no calls. the only thing i get everyday is insults from my Father and some relatives of how lazy and weak i am...this is not fair life itself is not fair..is it not better to die? after working hard in school and after school for about 8-10 years no result for it.. People will always say dont be tired but my brother i don tire... i know many of us have same story, but for me the only thing i can do to make the pain easy.. is write.. Nigeria is not worth it.. did i tell you i briefly went into business?.. but how can you do well in business without long time experience.. it is always difficult..well, the pressure is much and i see that breaking point is close... only God knows Tomorrow. These days the only thing that comes to my mind is suicide..i have downloaded lots of books to see if i can find a solution.. but none yet.. please if you have good advice for me i am willing to hear it. thanks E Joshua [/quote Let's talk if you know you can manage with a little until something big comes. |
Re: Hope For A Graduate by sholaj2003(m): 2:38pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
my guy don't give up on ur hussle. see itself as passing through a phase in life. now a days being a graduate doesn't guaranteed that job u need. I am a living witness. i graduated since three years ago n when d job isn't coming I have to leave my comfort zone. To the glory of GOd now, I can boast of my own personal house and at least a gud account balance. ignore the suicidal plan n start from d little u can get. my one kobo bro |

Re: Hope For A Graduate by Nobody: 2:45pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
Easy bro. I understand what you are passing through but I wont let it mar my future. It is a bend, not an end. I will advise you to use this opportunity to pursue your passion and forget the job issue, it will come definitely. See, if you kill yourself, Nigeria will continue but the country needs you. What you are passing through is called waiting period. It will come to pass. You can go and volunteer for NGOs, it may sounds stupid but I enjoyed it. Your Breakthrough is Not on the WAY, it is at the DOOR. 1 Like |
