The rate of unemployment in this country is just alarming. I finished school since 9 years ago, till date no job.
Funny enough, the Marwa guys are even living good than most graduates. I was told it's either I buy a job or get special link from the top. How can a common man afford millions to buy a job.

It's a tragedy. Meanwhile politicians are busy empowering prostitutes and cultists.
These are the categories of people enjoying this country.

Keep hope alive , believe in God Almighty that he can do it for you like he had done it for others before you , avoid laziness be impactful and tolerance. Bro also believe in yourself stay strong, aluta contnua Victory is certain.

Learn a digital or tech skill and start earning money online. You have wasted nine years already, it doesn't take too long to learn a digital skill. If you switch off and make YouTube your companion, I bet you'll be telling a different story in no distant time.

Everything you need to succeed is there on YouTube. Pick a skill and learn free on YouTube. Dedicate six months and learn rigorously. SMM, Social media management, Google Ads management, Google Analytics, Lead generation, Copy writing etc....learn something and become very good at it!

You can take free courses that give certifications to validate your competence.

Go to LinkedIn, open a profile, update it and state the services you can offer. Eg, I help businesses drive quality leads, I help businesses maximize ROI via Google Ads management etc...

Always make daily posts in that niche to build authority. Add decision makers and potential clients as friends. As you post daily, you begin to attract attention. Eg SaaS content writer, newsletter writer, just research what businesses would likely need and stick to that.

Over time, people would start reaching to you. You can offer free services initially to validate yourself and build social proof and testimonials. When you have gotten a hang of it, then begin to charge for the services.

So just believe and chase without relenting. I must also add that it takes a lot of discipline, but if you are determined, you can pull through and start making money monthly.

If work eventually comes, you then decide what you want.


Gracias!

So what have you been doing for the last 9 years

Learn business. Meet all those Igbo guys in Ladipo, Odunade, Oshodi... they hardly want to ever teach, but if you're humble enough and lucky, they may show you the ropes.

life's too short to get af



you could die any moment from now



a lot of people over rate this life


be thankful you wake up every morning and go about your day and come back


what if you didn't make it the next day ??

Then learn a skill.

If your certificate doesn't help then your sabificate should help.

I've been into Marketing CRM Automation helping businesses online

OP, let me tell you something, years back I never believed someone can be in the comfort of your bedroom and be cashing out millions of naira, until I started my freelancing journey.

I made my first cashout from Upwork in January 2021.
Let me advise you as a brother and friend, if you have money, locate a tech school near you and enrol in their Web development or Mobile App development class, learn it well, augment it with YouTube videos.

When you're done, get a laptop and open an Upwork profile, watch YouTube videos on how to write Upwork proposals that gets interview, believe me you will be a big guy in no distance time.

But in all, you must Work and Pray, cos it's all about God.


P.S: it's not only Web Dev or mobile app Dev...you can choose any tech skil you are ionate about and learn it.

Staying alive is a job that most people failed at.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
Don't think everyone are as lucky as you.
Where poor man dey born people start to insult them na the same place rich man dey find how to buy pikin just to have one.

this kind of advice is very misleading, but I will still recommend digital skill, however choose a digital skill that matches your ion, the digital space is very distracting get a mentor if possible

You dey mind dem
Most of them think just because they are lucky to come from a well to do or ive backgrounds, lucky to see a 9-5 job of 300 to 500k a month or even successful in any business they ventured into be it digital or not then automatically every other person should or must be as lucky as them too. They forget that all fingers are not equal and it's only God that knows how and when we get our heart desires. Imagine graduates being unemployed and broke while someone who never finished primary school already has all he could ever dream of in this life.

Easy bro, Easy.

So what’s not finishing primary school and success has in common??
Graduates in this part of this world thinks everything should be given to them on a plater,just because you went to school for five years,nature should place you higher than someone who has learnt how to till the ground for food or do plumbing work for five years…
Plus many of you can’t even defend your so called certificate sefff…

Life can be crazy I know,nature can be cruel,but nature will only reward those who tries and not those that complains

This is the bitter truth.
Guys doing blue collar jobs - keke drivers, danfo drivers, cow butchers and goat butchers in local market all make reasonable money everyday but graduates are doing shitty jobs.
you have to be shameless in 3rd world countries to make a living.
Only few will get good paying jobs sitting in AC, drinking tea while pressing computer.
And guess what? those blue collar jobs adjust to inflation easily compared to white collar salary jobs that are always stagnant for years.
Reason why you always see civil servants/salary earners always going on strike for salary increment, holding rallies and blocking roads while the so called illiterates and semi-illiterates will look down on adjust their price to inflation - drivers will adjust lagos to ibadan transport fare tomorrow if price of fuel goes up unlike salary earners.
Tomatoes sellers, ogufe sellers etc will all adjust price.
it is up to you to drop your ego and hit the street.

Federal job

But what would be their average salary after paying such amount to secure it.

SocialJustice:
Or millions to buy Marwa.

You don't need millions to buy marwa or bike.
You can take installment with a shorty or guarantor.
The hausas flooding the south on monthly basis without any skills, education nor anybody all started with bikes on installment.
If you are serious and ready to do it, the bike or marwa association, with time, someone will see your seriousness and give you one to start with.
Their chairmen always have bikes and marwa to give out to serious minded people.
If you can't, go learn cow butchering and selling in local markets.
It cost nothing. After 6 months with them, one oga will give you a share of his portion for you to sell at your own stand in the market.

That's it.
It is even possible that the person they're helping in exams becomes lucky and richer than the person helping him or her. Life happens

I agree totally with you.
The problem with the average graduate is that they are so so so rigid to life and not flexible.
You see those guys driving danfo, trucks/trailers, cow/goat butchers, keke drivers etc are making good money on daily basis. It is just that due to their little exposure, you won't like their lifestyles.
All they do with the money is to drink beers in the evening, bang women, wear dirty clothes, build face me, i face you houses etc.
They are not polished or refined the way the educated would have done. So it makes people look down on them and their jobs.
In my area, the alhaji my wife so buy cow from shares 1 cow with a partner veeryday and believ me, you can't buy 450k cow, divide it into 2 and not make nothing less than 30k profit per day on your own half.
Even a goat seller can't make nothing less than 15k killing 1 ogufe per day at a junction.
My ogufe seller kills 3 on a good day and 1 on a bad day.
There are alot of things to do but the graduates are not trained nor prepared for such life after school.
They all become depressed and suicidal.
If they are not thinking of working in office with AC, it will be travelling abroad.
