THE BUSINESS PACKAGE

STOP SAYING THERE IS YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT IN NIGERIA. BEFORE YOU SNEAR AT ME JUST READ THIS POST WHICH I COPIED FROM A PLATFORM 

There is a lot of unemployment in Nigeria, not necessarily because there are no jobs. The actual cause of unemployment in Nigeria is that there are no skills. 

There are over half a million vacancies in Nigeria in the oil sector and the construction industry in 

* plumbing, 

* carpentry, 

* drywalling, 

* welding, 

* roofing and 

* masonry, etc. 

But Nigerians do not like to study those skills. As a result, Nigeria imports thousands of Filipinos, Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Beninoise, Togolese, Ghanaians, and other foreigners to do these jobs we refuse to do. 

Instead, Nigeria graduates hundreds of thousands of university degree holders in

* sociology, 

* philosophy,

* linguistics, 

* political science, 

* library science, 

* religious studies and 

* anthropology. 

After graduation, with hubris these graduates will complain that there are no jobs in Nigeria due to bad governance. False. There are no jobs suited for those highlighted courses. But there are jobs in Nigeria. 

When Dangote needed technicians for his refinery, he could not find up to one thousand qualified Nigerians. He had to import eleven thousand technicians from India, or that refinery would not have been completed on schedule.

Sadly, Nigerians are looking for employers to pay them to do what they want to do, rather than what the employers needs. 

Nigerians erroneously think all degrees are equal. No. 

* Science, 

* Technology, 

* Engineering and 

* Mathematics degrees are superior to all others. 

Followed by 

* Business, 

* Economics, 

* Law, 

* Education and 

* Accounting, the rest are low-priority courses. Abroad, they are called vanity courses and many universities are shutting them down as a drain on the economy. 

It is a bitter fact, I know, but it is true. In terms of value, a non-graduate who studied the skills of

* Nursing, 

* Cloud Computing, 

* Web Design, 

* Ethical Hacking, 

* Blockchain, 

* Laboratory technology, etc, is more valuable to the economy than a graduate who read sociology or philosophy. 

*Be Spiritually Sensitive Professor OSULARU warned!!* 

Keep deceiving yourself with, 'I am a degree holder!' Degree isonu!
