Akan i dn t like wat u typed,dats so unfair.I agree wif wat @emergency typed,the person dat started this thread might even av a job at hand bt maybe sum in his family are still unemployed.Y Not lets think of our future,our children,they'll finish school sumday and our prayer is for them to be great and av good jobs.Even d bible says heaven helps those who help themselves,by the time u help urself by reading and practising hard for a test or interview and at d end of d day u dnt get d job on merit,then u should help urself by standin and doing sumtin like a peaceful protest and not sitting waiting for God to come down frm heaven.Sum said our youths are unemployable,ok fine,y not employ d ones dat passed their interviews and tests on merit and leave d ones dat failed to try again but no,whether u pass or not,employable or not,they have and know who they wnt for d jobs even before d tests and interviews,so wat are we talking about.Wateva it is dat can be done lets do it.God will surely grant us all our heart desires in Jesus's name.Amen

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
high paying job or not. new jobs or not. the Nigerian government and economy are not working for the good of the common man. you may say whatever you like but i think we are just too afraid to bring any radical change we so desire. stop talking about being all the same. get up and do something. if we are ready let us get organised whether you already have a job or you are waiting like myself let us do something. the time has come and the time is now.
NIGERIAN YOUTHS EXCEPT WE DO SOMETHING NOW OUR CHILDREN WILL CURSE US SOMEDAY. MARK MY WORDS.

OBJ in his time bilt himself a presidential library worth about 7billon whereas no nigerian university is funded to that tune. WHO ARE WE DECEIVING?
IF YOU WANT TO PRESERVE POSTERITY, THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW.

WHY ARE NIGERIAN YOUTHS EASILY DISTRACTED WITH THINGS THAT DO NOT MATTER? yes it is not in the bible but it is a principle that even the bible acknowledges. tell me how blind bathemieus got his sight? is it not by helping himself with the vioce he had since the eyes were gone?

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
Peace be to you all. I very much love the revolution to begin but let it be the self revolution. I tell you a fact; take it or leave it. There are some like Moses who will see the promised land but may never enter therein. First, have that inner resolution to triumph in your personal endeavour. Bring out that mighty man in you to impact your world. Do something that you could be encouraged with. I am seeing a picture of a vast number of unemployed youths-countless. Coming out to the world that "See I have graduauted two or more years ago, and I have not been employed" :o. It ridicules you as a person that you had nothing in your head. Your parents and your kinfolks may say it is ok, but the society at large expects more than that. So it is not a protest for the unemployed alone, it is a social and societal one.
Coming out to complain about employment is in the least absurd to a GRADUATE. The government is not designed to provide job(s) for every graduates that are churned out of our ivory towers, but they sure can encourage initiatives. I implore you by the mercies of God look inward and soar above the evil wind of unemployment. The goverment will always quote something to the protesters especially when such doesn't have immediate repercursions like that of the doctors... "government is not relenting in its effort to tackle unemployment and we are committed to finding a lasting solution to...bla bla bla" What will you do after the statement? Perhaps give them ultimatum... and then wait,... wait ...and keep waiting. I don't know. But one thing is crystal clear the best war you can win and worth winning is the war of self. You are a creative giant, bring it out even while looking for employment. there is no harm in it. I love revolution, maybe for posterity sake but what can you encourage others with? One love, one peace!

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
It is a societal & social revolution... It is not absurd to any Graduate.If not for any thing else, but 4 the corrupt tendencies of the so called leaders, the bankoles et al. I must state here that the initiative of the originator of this trend is commendable. while we mobilise, sensitise and get ourselves organized, we must be true to ourselves and to the course we are about to emback on. It may be daunting but I see victory coming at the end of the day. Yes many society world over has been able to effect fundamental changes by peaceful protest, ours is't different. I quit agree wit @e-diamond line as per making inner resolution to triumph in your personal endeavour, Bringing out that mighty man in you to impact your world but u will need a friendly government policies to leverage whatever u got.It is not about unemployed graduate alone. some of the contributor here are employed at least I am very sure of myself. THIS IS A COURSE WE ALL NEED TO SUPPORT. 1 LUV.

In as much as the move is commendable, have it in focus that for it to have a meaningful impact it must cut across social, organisational and business strata. A larger group other than the unemployed alone should be involved. 'Cos if you make it an affair of the unemployed alone you may not go far.Get as many pressure groups involved; Parents, NLC, NANS, CLO, unions of employees of various organisations etc. Then your voice will be heard. I am sure those that are gainfully employed with a juicy salaries will not join in the protest (engagement & commitment to work, fear of their employer or personal reason... Whatever). The impact is not in the number of the unemployed (the govt. is aware of the vast number, they are human beings among us) but in the vast segments of the people and organisations that back the protest. Cheers and one love!

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
Cowards! All of u opposing dis move are cowards. God will always pull down d walls of Jericho but it is left 4 d Israelites 2 rise n possess it. I buy d idea of prayer n fasting but dt should b b/4 d PEACEFUL protest. Some of u saying we should set up barber's salon, mechanic workshops n supermakets, I don't blame u, may b u didn't ve a vision b/4 going 2 school. Henceforth, if u r not in support of dis move, it were better u keep mute.

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
interesting moves in here... definitely has my backing, I like the comment by MosunJoseph, there is indeed a need for mind revolution first of all. The search has to start from the inside before we lay blames at the feet of the government. However I have 2 objections to why the supposed uneducated will come here and make it, 1. Their home government will give them the necessary backing and that is assuming literacy is what you get from the university walls. 2. The culture there is such that it encourages industrialization and entrepreneurial skills. Lemme ask you, is there anything in our present educational system that empowers one right from a tender age to think of setting up a venture? Entrepreneurial skills does not grow overnight it must have been imbibed over the years.... I know not too many ppl will agree with my opinion here, but that is what the house is about, all ideas are scrutinized to the delight of everyone

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
I commend the initiative and I'm in total support of the idea of transforming Nigeria. However, I see this as not a "fight" or "struggle" meant for the unemployed youth alone. It is supposed to be a fight by ALL NIGERIANS who hope for a better Nigeria.
No matter how "huge" the salary you might be earning, your have at least one unemployed relative who can hardly make a living.
I am gainfully employed, but yet the government is not accountable to me for the heavy tax that is automatically deducted from my salary. There is NOTHING I can pin-point that I directly benefit from the government of Nigeria yet I pay heavy taxes.
Is it Electricity? I have a generator for that purpose (what is the purpose of NEPA/PHCN?)
Is it Security? I have a Night/Security Guard for that purpose (what is the purpose of The Nigerian Police?)
Is it Water Supply? I have a well/Borehole with pumping machine for that purpose (what is the purpose of Water corporation?)
Is it Transportation? Many have a car or cars that costs an arm & a leg to maintain.
Wat about our Roads? We all know d deplorable state of our roads. Some residents now contribute money to repair/tar their roads (what is the purpose of FERMA?)
What about Health Care? The current few health facilities provided by the government cannot suffice for the masses, so I make use of the good but expensive private hospitals.
Communication? Of course...Thank God everyone has a GSM handset (even though they can hardly recharge) when NITEL is already dead.
Education? Nigerian education system is just running on life support. It is next to collapse. The universities are just churning out "unemployable graduates" because they've not been equiped with anything that can make them survive the challenging reality of the present business world and economy. Yet our currupt so called "leaders" embezzle tax-payers money and open private universities for their own profit.
NYSC is even a no-go area now as we all know the current realities about that.
Housing? You have to hussle that one by yourself as government no send you o.
Employment? As a lot of youth dey unemployed...na dat one even bring up the current issue wey a lot of people dey provoke. I thank God for my own situation though...sope tie ;D
Na the case of unemployment make a lot of people join NaijaHotJobs na :D
Now on a serious note, Can someone please tell me the purpose of The Government in Nigeria? cos i don't see any benefit from them ...(Angry)
...Faith without Work is dead... The time for action is now...enough of just prayers!
-
Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
This is terrible. It appears the set time has come for transformation in this nation. You should know that nothing good come to stay without violence or protest (Niger/Delta restiveness, public health bill, FOI bill et al as case studies) . So, it seems things want to change for better now by allowing those in govt know the need to wake up to their responsibility. We will surely get there.

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
Tears in my eyes my people... How I wish I could stop this unemployment issues. I really understands what it is like having no job. Peaceful demonstration, if successful and if it touches the heart of the person whom we want him/her to listen to us could only settle few people and the rest still suffers the scourges of UNEMPLOYMENT thereafter. Man has really dominated his fellow man to injury. All these has a begining and it will surely have an end. First of all, do we know that man cannot "perfectly" direct his steps talkless of controlling that of his fellow man? Do we know that man was not created to rule himself? But Man chosed to be independent from the one that that created him. Take for instance, if an equipment gets up one day and say "Mr. manufacturer I do not want you to operate me again, I can operate and maintain my self and even control other equipment", What do you think will happen to that machine? Definitely that equipment will "never" succeed. This is applicable to man. A book for all people, "the BIBLE" helped me to understand that in the garden of eden, man chosed to be independent from his "manufacturer" the greatest personage in the universe, JEHOVAH GOD, by eating the forbidden fruit. Eating from that tree means that they wanted to be like their "manufacturer". So our "manufacturer" now resolved to allow us control or rule ourselves. But has man been able to do things right satisfying himself and others? NO, instead many people sigh and groan because of the action of their fellow man.
That is to say that we cannot solve the problem of UNEMPLOYMENT whatever strategy we might use. Man has failed and that is what we all must realise. It is high time we ALL turn to our "manufacturer", our creator, our maker, our sovereign ruler and our GOD. HE has a government which is the LASTING SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS IN LIFE. We should sincerely pray for that KINGDOM to come, making the Devil a liar by submitting to the theocratic rulership of the most high GOD.
But for the time been, since the kingdom is not here today or now, all we should do is to beg GOD for our daily bread. He will NEVER forsake us. Keep our paths straight and do his will.
I am eagerly awaiting for the time when everyone will be happy. I am also anticipating this time:
17 “For here I am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart. 18 But exult, YOU people, and be joyful forever in what I am creating. For here I am creating Jerusalem a cause for joyfulness and her people a cause for exultation. 19 And I will be joyful in Jerusalem and exult in my people; and no more will there be heard in her the sound of weeping or the sound of a plaintive cry.”
20 “No more will there come to be a suckling a few days old from that place, neither an old man that does not fulfill his days; for one will die as a mere boy, although a hundred years of age; and as for the sinner, although a hundred years of age he will have evil called down upon him. 21 And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage. 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full. 23 They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance; because they are the offspring made up of the blessed ones of Jehovah, and their descendants with them. 24 And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer; while they are yet speaking, I myself shall hear."
THAT IS WHEN ALL OUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED. Let us all to GOD for he has the solution to all our problem.
So my Dear NJH, do not lose hope. Have faith. Life is not a bed of roses. This present life is NOT the real life. The real life, is the everlasting life which only GOD can give. With GOD "LIFE IS REALLY GOOD.

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
house of representative members jacked their constituency allowance from 28million to 42 million quaterly!!! Their salary and allowances mothly is about15million naira!!! We have 369 house of representative members. Now lets do somecalculations:
369 members * 15,000,000 = 5,535,000,000 (5.54 billion per month)
5,535,000,000 * 12 = 66,420,000,000 (66.42 billion in a year)
constituency allowance (lets assume 42 million quaterly for 369representatives (although this is not so because some principal officers of thehouse get much more!! The speaker gets 100 million quauterly, the deputyspeaker gets 80 million quaterly…and am not talking about kobo, i meannaira!!!). So let’s calculate:
42,000,000 * 4 * 369 = 61,992,000,000 (61.99 billion naira!!!)
so in a year, the house of representatives gulps roughly
66,420,000,000 + 61,992,000,000 = 128,412,000,000 ( 128.412 billionnaira!!!)
this is excluding the outrageous amount of monies that will be spent to buyofficial cars and furniture…blah…blah… blah for them.
not to mention that of the senate!!!that has 109 members!!! What kind of legislature are we runnig!!! Why do weneed to have house of representatives and also house of senate?! Can’t we justhave one? How many bills do they even pass combined? The petroleum industrybill and lots of others have been there for hyears without being passed!
yet the country abounds with qualified graduates that have no jobs and nomoney to become self employed!
why do we need so many ministers and ministries all these contribute towasting the country’s resources. We depend solely on oil what happens when thisoil runs out? Can’t nigeria take a cue from united arab emirates that hasevolved into a tourist attraction? They know the oil will run out and havealready diversified their economy…what is nigeria doing?
first this country has to stop wasting so much money on politicalappointees!

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
Here's what I received and felt I should share with those who hope for a change in Nigeria:
Let There Be Light In Nigeria
Dear Fellow Nigerians:
We are approaching you on behalf of a group of patriotic and concerned Nigerians with active participation around the world.
We are the custodians, keepers and protectors of a nation that is yet to live up to its promise.
· Largest population in Africa and 8th largest in the world – 152,217,341 (Internet World Stats)
· Third richest country in Africa (after Egypt and South Africa) - $294,800 billion (GDP) (Infopedia.com)
· Over 36 billion barrels its proven oil reserves is 73% higher than United States (Wikipedia)
· 12th biggest oil producer - 2.2 million barrels per day (Huffington Post)
· 4th largest oil exporter - 2.1 million barrels per day (Huffington Post)
· At 1,024,000 barrels per day in December 2010 was, number 5 in the list of 5 countries responsible for 70% of United States crude oil exports. (U.S Energy Info Administration)
Why is our country unable to provide adequate and widespread electricity for its people?
We are still bounded by the chains that tie us to a wounded past:
· Ranked 142 out of 169 in human development index (United Nations Developmental Program)
· Life expectancy is 48years (World Bank)
· 64% of population earn less than $1.25/day (Wikipedia)
• 70% of population is under 30, out of which 57% is unemployed (Sahara Reporter)
The future of our dearly beloved country is not driven by what happens to it but by what happens to it because of us.
This is a CALL TO ACTION!!
We are organizing a PEACEFUL Nigerian Million March in Nigeria scheduled to take place in Abuja and Lagos on June 27th 2011.
We are also organizing simultaneous PEACEFUL Nigerian Million Marches in London, and at these locations in the United States - Washington D.C, New York, Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles on the same date.
Your wonderful organization have structure, resources, capabilities and know how that can be used to expand the scope and depth of this endeavor while giving it a badly needed flavor.
Would you please join us?
For more information please visit our web site at http://www.nigerianmillionmarch.com. If you have any questions please, feel free to contact us at [email protected]
We will be calling you in a few days to have a constructive conversation with you about how together we can make this a resounding success.
We are no longer going to settle for a country that continues to struggle to explore and define its identity in darkness.
Let us use this occasion to demonstrate how unity is strength and how this unity can be used to sweep away the footprints of an arrogant adversary especially when the components of our unity is as strong as the rock of Gibraltar. Remember, what we do here, matters over there.
God Bless you and God Bless Nigeria.
Sincerely
Doyin Olagbegi
For Let there be Light in Nigeria Project

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
My fellow Nigerian graduates, it beats my heart alot when i sit down and think about the predicaments and ordeal the Nigerian graduates are experiencing. For the first time, it touched me to write a post on NHJ. Its time to act and we have to act fast. Amongst us are potential great men specialized and trained in one field or the other, so we have all it takes to bring attention to ourselves.
We can not keep quiet and watch greedy politicians make us feel that its vain by choosing to goto school. If i must say, an average Nigerian graduate should be entitled to allowance of N30,000.00 pending the time he gets a job, so he can use it to meet his basic needs. Do you know how much a Nigerian graduate spend on photocopy, printing, traveling to write a text or the other.
I encourage us to join a forum to speak a common language which is the language of employment. visit www.nigerianmillionmarch.com for more information. You can as well search for ''Nigerian graduate showdown'' on Facebook.
Thanks

I may not talk more on the other religions,Do u remember King Jeroboam? why do u make us deviants? Have u asked how Protestant (Pentecostal) despensation set in? Why are u hiding under the veil of let the sleeping Dog lie instead of asking for God to strengthen ur heart not to jeopardize the future of the youths. did u ask of the cause of Pre Kenedy comment?
C,until u are indirectly forced out of ur comfort zone by the evil of this nation,u will not agree to the AGONIZING PAINS of the dying future.
Think againg and read the other post well,am not supporting bloody protest but support calling to action our Dear Leaders than chanting unemployment on the pages of the news paper.

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
@mosunjoseph. With all humility can you declare your employment stauts to this great house? If you are employed can you honestly tell us with which firm? If unemployed can you tell us how many years you have been jobless,the course you studied and how many interviews and apptitude tests you've written and how many times you've slept in garges just to write a test. If you can honestly answer all these in this forum then we shall all see why you are talking with your upper lip alone.

Re: Nigerian graduates enough is enough it is unbearable!!
it is good for us not to get personal cos i can feel some discontent.am unemployed but i can never blame my unemployment at the govt.no matter wat there are people who are still making it in this country,people that didnt know or have connection.my philosophy is simple i cant die a failure one day my time will come i cant force it to come.if unemployed graduates can generate 500k to go d uk and sweep gutters then cant he use that to start something.am stepping on toes on the forum and i know but this is the bitter truth.am not discoraging any protest u guys can go ahead but just know if the starter of this thread gets a 160k job this nite u will never read his comment here again.i truly know how u guys feel cos i have deeper experience.the last mantrac test i did i saw my far junior in school so dont think am comfortable.but i know everyone has his time and i will wait.i dont want to sound religious but do u know know abraham didnt receive his promis until after 25yrs,that was d time of god.pls be calm thats my positions.i have spoken.
