Physics and electronics, yet has no practical knowledge of electronics, apart from teaching physics in sec schools, i dont see where she ll fit, no employable skills.

The degree certificate is good, but for some people, it is the reciept for selling their dreams and visions, hence all they ever wanna do is to be a servant. Civil servant, cooperate servant private servant etc.
For others, it is the currency they will use to trade their God given potential for laziness. While those who haven't gone to school are out hustling, the degree holders are sitting at home waiting for jobs.
For some again it is the document giving them the complaining rights against the government for not providing jobs.
For some, it is the garment of pride, and they will see themselves as being to big for certain kind of jobs or better than others.
My brothers and sisters, put your certificate to one side and get your hands dirty.

100% agree.

hmmmm.....who first class don help?i will advise her to start a business

Use your first class brain and think what you can do. Beside no company will employ you without application, go to website and search for vacancies from all companies home and abroad, attend interview and be employed no company will come and give you employment letter by sitting down at your home and boasting first class when your father is not great politician or chairman of a company.

Some issues here:

1, She graduated in 2015. So the earliest time she completed her NYSC programme is 2016, if mobilized in 2015, or 2017, if mobilized in 2016.

2, What the above means is that she may have become eligible for labour market in 2016 or 2017 which means she may not have spent 1 year at home post-NYSC.

3, Not getting job within one year of completing NYSC is not a critical situation as presented here. Even some recruitment processes take one year.

4; She did not tell us whether she had been invited for job tests before and how she performed. Has any company invited you for test since you graduated? Did you pass? First Class doesn't mean being handed job automatically.

5, I also suspect her school may be a factor. Ajayi Crowther is a Tier 3 private university. Many good employers only reckon with Tier 1 private university graduates. Less than 10 of such schools.. Some of these private unis are not recognised

seyirock:
so what are trying to say?...studying physics is d problem abi?.

First Class Nigerian Graduate
A first class Nigerian graduate has taken to Twitter to openly beg people to help her get a job. Odufuwa Sola, 22, from Ogun State, has remained jobless since she graduated in 2015 from Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State.

“I’m Odufuwa Sola, I’m a First Class Graduate of Physics with Electronics from Ajayi Crowther University,” she tweeted on Tuesday from her handle @MzKansola. “Kindly help me retweet. I need a Job.”

Ms. Sola did not just make a First Class but was the best graduating student in the university for that year with a 4.83 G.P.A. She had the honour of delivering a valedictory speech in the school.

Ms. Sola’s appeal for help has been retweeted more than 3,000 times by other Twitter users.

But that is just the best she has gotten for now as nobody has asked her to come over for a job interview.
Ms. Sola, who said she was amazed at the rate people retweeted her post, told sources she was inspired to resort to Twitter for help having seen other people with similar situation get help through the social media.

Ms. Sola said she has applied for employment at the Ajayi Crowther University, but that she was yet to get a reply from the school.

She has also submitted applications to several companies and organisations within the country.

“Most jobs I apply for are graduate trainee slots that are science-related,” Ms. Sola said, adding that she was not feeling sad at all that she has not been able to get a job.
“I know the situation of the country, though I didn’t expect it to take so long,” she said. “But I trust God.”

Also, she does not regret studying physics. She said she would do it again and again if she were to start her university education all over. “Physics is fun,” she said.

Ms. Sola’s dream is to work someday as a renewable energy analyst, she told sources.
Meanwhile, she has started learning tailoring at Ijebu-ode, Ogun State, where she resides, while waiting and hoping to be called up for a job interview soon.

“My family has been supportive, everyone around me is just wishing me the best and praying I get a job soon,” said Ms. Shola who lost her dad in 2015, few months to her graduation ceremony.

“My appeal to Nigerians is to help me get a job of my dream and passion. I know it’s not easy out there, but with the help of God, I know something good will happen soonest. Nigerians are good people, it’s just the situation we find ourselves in as a country,” she said.

When Sources contacted the spokesperson of the Ajayi Crowther University, Alvan Ewuzie, he said that giving first class graduates instant employment in the university depended on the availability of space in the department where the student graduated from.

am not sure she actually applied for a job in the school. I am an alumni of the school and I can say categorically that Ajayi Crowther University gives preference to there students who seeks employment in the school. The best graduating student in my set works in his department he even did his NYSC there.

it was because she was looking for chevron work

Did she apply for jobs at all?

She has everything needed to be employed.

Studied a quantitative course, so she should ace tests.

Had a first class.

She is female, so she would be slightly favored in recruitment processes.

She is just 22. She has no age related issues to stop her.

So my guess is she isn't applying enough. One or two applications doesn't cut it just because you are best graduating student from a B class private University.

It could also be that she is targeting upstream petroleum companies. Not only are those companies very difficult to get into, they don't recruit from Twitter.

You also failed to ask her if working at her alma mata was want she wanted initially, she just wanted that has a plan B, you don't go into teaching as a second option you have to have the zeal to impact knowledge.
Secondly you don't know maybe she is in the category of those first class graduates that are only good with theories and her poor when it comes to praticals.
Thirdly, it's rude ti refer to the school as been a third teir school there are some graduates of the sole called first tier schools who are not as sound as the graduates of the so called third teir schools.

All these first class graduates flying up and down should be job creators and not job seekers.

Waitooo are you going to be employed by a job created by a third class graduate or by a job created by someone who even never went to school?

Nigerian first class graduates eeh, I tire no bi small.

Meanwhile you can go to www.opportunityfor africa.com and find what you can do.

Thanks.

Forget about employment, i also grad. in 2015 finished serving mid this year. During which, i took time to understand cryptocurrency and now am living large in it. Think crypto-think life. 07060977723 whatsapp only.

She's speaking the truth. We served together at Ondo state. We're B15. She was in stream 2. Oyinkosola is her name.

God bless u suraj.

the only analysis i got thats catch my eyes here.

she may be a first class in ajayi which is a tier 3 university.

the likes of Lasu and lautech and ekiti are rated tier 1 and 2 respectivelly.

whats is her performance in all the interview she went for.

is she the type of first class electrical engineer in private school that was ask to define electricity and all he can say is Nepa.

i disagree,some schools are tier 3 and ajayi fall into that category.

so for me jarus is correct here.

They have only three lecturers in that department, Dr.Olowookere, Mr.Paul, Mr. Adeyanju and one technologist

boiz2men:
exactly what happens when your hopes are on your degree. i stopped being a scholar in 300 level when i realised there was no job out there. got into business in school... i was selling kerosene to hall 4 in uniben.... i was buying a litre then for #50 but selling la casera bottle(half a litre) of kero for #100.... i just stopped visiting classes regularly... then there was that 6 months strike... i learned programming during that time on my own.... today i am helping myself with that programming skill and i dont hav a comp sci degree... and to think that i am a licensed health care practitioner and still practising. despite all that, i graduated with good grades.. altho not with a first class since my discipline isnt classified...


if you are still a student and you reading this.. u better pick up a skill along side ya education.. PREPARE FOR THE WORST AND EXPECT THE BEST

the irony of life is that "A" students almost always end up as employees to us who were "B" students...



if you are a scholar and dont have an inkling in doiingg business and you dont have uncles and aunts in high places.. my dear, suffer dey ooo

Pls, how can I learn this programming..probably teach me if you can..My email-angelezeus@yahoo.com

I cry for the future of youths in Nigeria.

My advice, get the hell out while you can!!!

Please start with anything you can find for now. Apply in those little Primary and Secondary school around you. As for most of our academic institutions, the Principals (V.Cs) are not ready to help the young and brilliant ones so long you are not connected to them nor any of their allies, but I know one thing, God will always make a way where there seems to be no way.
Remain blessed.

But she said she has done so, for your information, I can tell you categorically that, many academic institutions don't employ their best graduating students anymore, and it is pathetic.

U can learn it online for free. All u need is electricity, a laptop and internet access.

shankara7:
What skill does she has to offer to employers? Having a first class from one mushroom university is not a big deal.

Being a First Class does not really mean she has all the skill required for employment, but rather, it means she has the capacity to comprehend easily and also acquire the required skills if not more within a short period which will add value to the organization.
Have you ever worked with a First-Class colleague before? If No, then don't jump to conclusions.[color=#990000][/color]

This is CHANGE

she's speaking the truth. we close friends. we've known each other for a long time now and all what she posted is the truth and nothing more. she served in akure, at the federal university of technology 2015, batch b. she lost her dad few months to a convocation in November 2015 and since then, things has not been rosy. also shes actually 22 according to what she posted, thats her real age! so please, instead of chastising her, if you know you can be of help in any way. she will appreciate it. if you need any information on how to contact her. please, send me a pm. thank you

Y cnt she use her"1st class" brain 2 create job for herself & others?

I spoke out of experience as someone who has been involved in a recruitment process. Professional skills are very necessary if you wish to get a good job.
