To me the most painful part is when applying for a job and they are looking for individuals with 5-10 years work experience me wey just dey graduate.
Nowadays looking for a white-collar job is difficult but having a skill or craft can also be helpful to provide for yourself, being an entrepreneur even do it is hard and expensive especially looking for  capital to start business is better than someone just waiting for or looking for job employment

The rate of unemployment in Nigeria is becoming an alarming situation because it doesn't even get better with time instead things are getting worse. Youths are now turning to internet fraud and other illegal activities to survive. The most annoying part of everything is these bad leaders that are putting this country in bondage still pay youths to carry out their evil propaganda during election campaigns, this tells you that the government of Nigeria are doing everything on purpose

I am literally done talking about the situation of the country, because every possible solution that we all think of as individuals, will have no effect or correct the already failed system. I guess the problem of the country had begun, even before I was born, but it turns out to be getting worse on a daily basis. We've lost our kobo, 5naira, 10naira, and 20naira to persistent inflation, as we can't even see those currencies physically again. We've been readjusting as citizens inorder to manage the situation for ourselves. Of course, there are solutions to these problems, but the problems are caused by those who oversee the affairs of the nation and make decisions on our behalf, so we might be a long way away from experiencing some positive changes.

A white-collar job is not a job you should depend on, the government have made it very difficult to get one even though you’re qualified for one. You will not get it that easily, that’s if they don’t even tell you that you’re ineligible for the work or no work available for you. It’s very disheartening how one will go to school, spent time, energy and still not get what they anticipate for in the end.

With all the strikes you go through in school and make you spend extra year in school, they’ll now be asking for a certain age as minimum before you can get a job, that’s bad and that’s what pains me the most when I see requirements needed for a government work. It is better one should focus and put most of their energies into some handwork skills, those stay longer and forever in you and does not mean you cannot be complimenting them with a government work if one eventually comes.

Unemployment remains a significant challenge facing Nigeria with a steadily increasing rate over the years This country's economy has struggled to create jobs, leading to a growing number of Nigerians without employment.

The causes of unemployment in Nigeria are complex and mostly economic based. The economy's over-reliance on oil exports has actually made the government unable to consider other sectors while inadequate education and skills training have left many Nigerians unprepared and actually without jobs. Corruption and poor governance have also contributed to the issue, as has the country's infrastructure and economy depreciate and insecurity in some regions.

Nowadays looking for a white-collar job is difficult but having a skill or craft can also be helpful to provide for yourself, being an entrepreneur even do it is hard and expensive especially looking for  capital to start business is better than someone just waiting for or looking for job employment

This is why some universities provide skill acquisition programs because they know that what you learn in class isn't enough especially with the way things are going right now in the country. Someone who studied chemical or petroleum engineering can't easily get a job in an oil company without connection, and about that 5 to 10 years criteria they told you is just a format to push people away, that's a strategy that companies are now using

Back in the days when education system was still okay student could go to school graduates with good results and still have an additional skill but nowadays it’s not effective.

Imagine a student being taught “tailoring or hairdressing” when they are in a faculty or department that offers cubbersome courses - they won’t have that time to start going for additional lessons when they are at the risk of failing but in the past the system was structured well to fit into place.

According to a quote I heard “study agriculture for Nigeria, with connection you fit still work as bank manager” - and that’s just the simple truth, there are people that have graduated and still haven’t been able to secure a work space for themselves and yet there are people who are still in school and their parents have already secured their work position for them due to their strong connection. Nigeria is a one big horror film. TBH.

You are right, instead of talking about the problems everytime we should talk about the solutions to the problems instead, but the problems the nation is facing cannot be solved without the collective efforts of the leaders and citizens, we all have a role to play in building the nation. But the main problem is the economic set backs, which includes inflation and so on. Like you said the problems are caused by those who oversee the country so there's nothing we as citizens can do about it. Instead of waiting for things to get better of which might not even happen just create an opportunity for yourself, the unemployment issue would always be experienced in this country so instead of complaining about it and relying on the government find something to do that can give you money .

Brilliant solution from you. You've literally said it all. Instead of making complaints about the government and the failed system, finding ways to create job opportunities and source of income for ourselves should be the way forward. This idea is already a solution on our part, that will at least reduce too many fingers pointing to the government. Even though we don't in any way support the incompetence of the government, but this solution is literally for our own benefits. The failure of the government shouldn't be an excuse. So many of us in this country deserves to live a very good life, and we should try as much as possible to work for it.

+1 by the way.

No be small, unemployment is like bazooka gun. Just bombing tirelessly.
Even this over reliance on liquid black gold, just go many or all oil regions and see the poverty. Collect lands and leave commotion with suffering.
To say, over reliance on crude oil no good but the revenue from oil how them dey use am self.

That's a very good question there bud, the revenue from oil, how is the government of Nigeria using that money?
Living in Nigeria became harder from one government to another, we have a lot of graduates who are jobless, several of them are on the road doing Keke work, some na Okada riders, while some others are drivers, either public or private and collect peanuts as a salary.

What I really will love to mention here is that, the Nigeria youth should learn to no longer depend solely on the government for job after school, students should learn to be their own boss either by running their own business, or by simply learning a good skill which is capable of generating good money in the future, this is the only way young people can escape poverty here.

You are right, the Nigerian government has pretty much failed us however on thing we could do is to make sure we aren't just sitting our selves by the corner complaining about the government. Instead we should rather search for alternatives like self employment opportunities to empower ourselves even if the government has failed us. The Nigerian economy is really declining with inflation taking the better of it. In fact fixing the Nigerian economy should be a potential move the government should be working towards.

I think it's high time we explored other sectors that can potentially assist in the growth of our economy rather than sole dependence on oil Only. Another problem is a majority of people are too fixated on the Idea of getting a white collar job and that too has to be fixed.

Unemployment rate is no longer a joke we are having different schools having different graduates in different courses but no job for them and one thing wey dey funny me is the fact that even the places where jobs are available will always asked for someone with more than a year experience
If every single employer out there is looking for an experienced person how will the new graduates niw have the opportunity to get this experience
I really pray it changes for the better sooner or later because at this rate there will also be an increase in criminal activities
Man most survive

The era where we see people printing too many CVs, and carrying their files(credentials) up and down in search for work is gradually fading away. Most people already believes that it is quite difficult to get a white collar job, and they are not far from the truth, which has led them to creating job opportunities for themselves the very moment the need to start providing basic needs comes into play.

The Truth is, there are several job opportunities on the internet. A friend of mine sometime ago was showing me some available positions for both remote and physical job opportunities. All that was required was the knowledge of those skills/jobs. How many online jobs these days even ask for your school degree? Just few in my opinion.

Sometimes to even see the job self na waec, person go suffer dey waka up and down with certificates from company to company, office to office still receive insults from some wicked employers, yet no good job. Funny enough they done turn the whole job hunting situation to man know man something and person wey no sabi person dey waste em time. Nigeria na very rich country and our government fit make the country great again but they choose to be wicked and selfish by mismanaging our resources and using it's benefits for their selfish interests. Omo people done too suffer for this country and the poverty rate dey increase rapidly and I no go suprise if some youths start to dey steal for survival. Well that no be excuse for stealing sha cause our people say if dem no help you help yourself since government no gree create job opportunities many sensible youths done begin dey seize the opportunities of seeking different online freelancing jobs so those youths wey dey go steal from people are wrong maybe them be illiterate wey no fit read and write.

Because of high rate of unemployment, many Nigerians don turn online vendors, everyone is looking for way to survive and the Government is making things worse everyday by increasing the price of fuel wey suppose they down to help us regulate the price of goods in the market.

To get job in Nigeria now is by connection bro, they do scam people by given them job offers to buy, you will end up no job and your money is gone. Everyone is looking for way to take advantage of others in this country, we have to look for ways to survive and since some of us are very intelligent, we do work online to get paid which is very interesting.

Take a look at the airdrop ecosystem, half of numbers of players in any airdrop is dominated by the Nigerians because that's a result of unemployment. No person with a real paying job will want to sit down and be checking an app that isn't payment guaranteed be tapping their phones for 6 months and it's not just one or two, they are many others they do just to get something.

The government has failed alot of dreams and people with good prospective mind to create a good impact and knowledge to the society but the government is not helping, the are just focus on noise and noise without showing any workings, just a corrupt group of people doing the same things over and over without any changes or developments for all.

This is the problem we are facing in this country, an organization would be putting up such criteria for employment then how about the new fresh graduate that are very much vibrant in service, eager and ready to deliver, how would they then gain experience if they are not given the platform to showcase their knowledge and ability. Companies be putting up years of experience and be employing shaft and sacked workers from other companies who would lie to them neglecting the fresh young graduates with bright futures.

These days, it is just better one learn skills or start up a business venture if they have the capacity to do so as the rate of unemployment in our country is alarming and the worst of it all is that the government is not helping matters. Instead of creating new opportunities, they are busy closing the ones already in existence citing reasons best known to them. It is quite unfortunate that with our resources, our government can not do anything for the unemployed youths.

And shockingly, this unrealistic criteria that most companies pull up, is now forcing some Nigerians to tell lies about themselves. I heard of a woman who is receiving a good pay from a company, but the company doesn't know that she is married, because it was never stated by her. She had to lie just because the company might be demanding for a none married worker. I won't be surprise when forgery of fake birth certificate will become rampant, just because of company demands.

So, you are right by suggesting that people should start learning skills. Even though the money to open a business can be difficult for some, but sometimes, we have to try to start from somewhere (start small). If you eventually become a boss of your own, no one will give you unrealistic rules to abide by, because the responsibility is now 100% yours.

And shockingly, this unrealistic criteria that most companies pull up, is now forcing some Nigerians to tell lies about themselves. I heard of a woman who is receiving a good pay from a company, but the company doesn't know that she is married, because it was never stated by her. She had to lie just because the company might be demanding for a none married worker. I won't be surprise when forgery of fake birth certificate will become rampant, just because of company demands.

So, you are right by suggesting that people should start learning skills. Even though the money to open a business can be difficult for some, but sometimes, we have to try to start from somewhere (start small). If you eventually become a boss of your own, no one will give you unrealistic rules to abide by, because the responsibility is now 100% yours.

That age declaration and fake identity is now the order of the day. Go to government institutions that is where you would see lots of them. These people are the ones not giving up their position for the younger generation to come in as a result of their false and fake age declaration.  They reduce their age virtually every year with legal backings after swearing affidavit under oath. I think the court or registry is another problem we are having here because if a thorough investigation is done into age declaration of people at the court, you would discover that many people have reduced their age more than 10 times just to retain their job for no reason to giving up their position for the younger generation. It is absurd because everybody is just afraid because the day they leave office, that is the end of their network of cash flow for them so they become greedy and selfish interest comes in.

As for skills development, that is just what I think could salvage the situation of things in this country as things are beginning to get hay wire as that is the only option left for survival. With you start a business venture or you develop yourself in skills acquisition to making sure you have something doing for survival.

Unemployment rate is no longer a joke we are having different schools having different graduates in different courses but no job for them and one thing wey dey funny me is the fact that even the places where jobs are available will always asked for someone with more than a year experience
If every single employer out there is looking for an experienced person how will the new graduates niw have the opportunity to get this experience
I really pray it changes for the better sooner or later because at this rate there will also be an increase in criminal activities
Man most survive

They turn down a lot of people because they don't have enough experience to take the job but they don't give them a chance to learn. Some of these young people are full of brilliant ideas and also industrious, even without years of experience they might have some ideas and skills they might take the company or organization to a higher level, but these employers keep having the wrong mentality about alm These. That's why it's advisable to have a skill that pays off just Incase getting a job becomes difficult.

To me the most painful part is when applying for a job and they are looking for individuals with 5-10 years work experience me wey just dey graduate.
Nowadays looking for a white-collar job is difficult but having a skill or craft can also be helpful to provide for yourself, being an entrepreneur even do it is hard and expensive especially looking for  capital to start business is better than someone just waiting for or looking for job employment
Lol…. This is very painful like if they are busy looking for people with 5-10 years experience how do they expect us who graduated and yet to have job be employed? It’s really not fair.

Looking for white collar jobs now na very big deal and e de take connection to get work for this country now na why everybody no de send white collar job again con de find something do for themselves. People are now going into working online or looking for hand work that will benefit them.
During our parent's time, you must go to school for you to secure a white-collar job for a better life. Butit is not the same anymore a white-collar job have become very hard to find and sometimes, they can be a big disappointment with the current rate of inflation that is ongoing. Cost of commodity is skyrocketing every day and the government is not increasing workers salary, but they are busy increasing the price of petrol. Those that have white collar jobs without an additional means of investment are the ones suffering because a time might come that their salaries might not be able to meet with their needs anymore. Online jobs are the best because it knows no boundary. Skill job is very good because when you are good at it, you will be the one to benefit more from it without looking at the government.

Trying to depend on the government currently for employment opportunity will only lead you to poverty because even when you manage to get a job, It will not be a high-paying job that will be able to sustain you in this unstable and ever-increasing prices of things in the markets. The best way out of poverty right now in Nigeria aside a well-paying job is a high-paying skill that gives you the opportunity to meet high-paying clients locally or to get a job that pays you in foreign currency. Stop depending on the government because they do not care about you, and that is the bitter truth.

I have heard of some youths in an oil producing state in Nigeria that literally don't involve themselves in the normal hustle of live. They just sit around and argue for their own share of state own crude oil. Like they just depend on what the government/Crude buyers give to them because they feel it's their right, so they don't bother to do anything else. I see no reason why a full grown up will be requesting for a share of what he did not bring to this life, but was opportuned to be part of just because he/she was giving birth to In that region.

From a general sense, it's actually the right of every individual of a locality to benefit from any raw material that comes from that locality, but when we start having cases of people who choose to depend on the benefits, without finding a meaningful job for him/herself, then it will be an additional problem to the society, because that person in question is already a liability.

Brilliant solution from you. You've literally said it all. Instead of making complaints about the government and the failed system, finding ways to create job opportunities and source of income for ourselves should be the way forward. This idea is already a solution on our part, that will at least reduce too many fingers pointing to the government. Even though we don't in any way support the incompetence of the government, but this solution is literally for our own benefits. The failure of the government shouldn't be an excuse. So many of us in this country deserves to live a very good life, and we should try as much as possible to work for it.

+1 by the way.
Unemployment as really affect a lot of citizens in this country, it has turn some individuals illegally (involved in illegal activities) i.e extortion, prostitution, theft and smuggling. all these are happening due to limited employments opportunities which lead to poverty. But that is not the case, since the problem is here, we have to find a solution to it. Just as you said "the failure of the government shouldn't serve as an excuse to us" we shouldn't depend on government that is way we have right to freedom of movement and rights to work, as long as you are not going to involved yourself in any illegal work. We can live a successful life without white-collar jobs, you can hustle or set up a small business, with this you will be earning a living, if you work very hard you will be able to earn what some civil servant are earning as salary, and you will be able to put food on your table and also fulfill some of your financial needs.

A white-collar job is not a job you should depend on, the government have made it very difficult to get one even though you’re qualified for one. You will not get it that easily, that’s if they don’t even tell you that you’re ineligible for the work or no work available for you. It’s very disheartening how one will go to school, spent time, energy and still not get what they anticipate for in the end.

With all the strikes you go through in school and make you spend extra year in school, they’ll now be asking for a certain age as minimum before you can get a job, that’s bad and that’s what pains me the most when I see requirements needed for a government work. It is better one should focus and put most of their energies into some handwork skills, those stay longer and forever in you and does not mean you cannot be complimenting them with a government work if one eventually comes.

It's really time for Nigerians to stop relying on white-collar jobs, because this jobs are only for those with connections. The worst part is that if they want to enroll, they will make it public, which will cause stress for the poor citizens, who will then end up without any luck because they already have those they will choose.
According to FIRS's recently opened enrollment page, one of the requirements for applying, is being under the age of 28. I was wondering whether there was any unique experience that these people would have that others beyond the age would not have, but still I know governments will still share it with their co-politicians.

I don't know how I will discribe Nigeria government again because we don tok tire but di politicians dey do weti dem like and not weti the people like. In my opinion as I have seen others e good be say make dey protest against di police, and Dangote and not di government. Make we see if we go fit divert di protest go another ways. Because most of those things wey government dey do against di citizens na Dangote dey tell am dey do. And that is the function of the government. It is the duty of the government to create an enabling environment for the capitalist to do business. And Dangote is using dis clause opportunity very well in Nigeria for the detriment of the other citizens. Nigerian government would have created enabling environment for the crypto community in the country and he did in the oil sector for Dangote to operate.

You know what, there no big business person in the cryptocurrency investment space in the country and that is why the government is attacking the crypto community in the country. If there was any things would have been better. America is going to enjoy cryptocurrency because Elon Musk is there and he supported Donald Trump.

What style of leadership do you expect when they paved way for themselves through the backdoor. You see when a leader who is bereft of ideas takes on power,  the masses always wail for help because of the hardship they face.
Back in the days things were so cheap and life was very easy then compared to these days. The crop of leaders we have today were products of the free education of those days and today they do not want to bother replicating the same thing they met which made them who they are today. All they are after is money and luxury which has lured them into corruption forgetting about their primary assignment for which they were voted for.

It is quite unfortunate that the rate of unemployment is quite alarming hence unemployed graduates evey where but I think time has gone far beyond that stage when one would graduate from University and start looking for white collar jobs. Skills are now the the saving grace of the youths and that has kept things working perfectly well without one bothering about the government and her issues.

You have a Point though, but industrialization can’t reduce unemployment in the country the way you are expecting it will reduce it but not that much because we don’t have ability or even facilities to try and create things our self. The industry you are talking about to be made what type of things are they going to manufacture and more so different type of industry needs to be take to consideration not all things can be manufactured and we will have to create things that will be of beneficial to the country and some other nation.
  All I’m saying is that we need helps from other nation to in such places like facilities and amenities our nation can provide all that we lack many things but industrialization will really be of good benefit to us and will help reduce poverty and unemployment. I thinks so other things should be put into consideration too.

Indeed, it is high time individuals searched for openings apart from well-structured formal employment like corporate jobs that are hard to secure without influence. Therefore the process of stabilisation can be initiated through the creation of new businesses, encouragement of which can lead to more independence and material sustainability than reliance on the state’s resources. Restrictions of age in the employment process should not be alibi for those who possess the potential of the right attitude to work. The government has a major role in ensuring that equal opportunities are extended to the people in employment hence there is need for proper recruitment policies that will give all personnel a chance to improve their standards thereby also improving on the country.

Unemployment is one of the most common challenges that we face in this country. Taking education as an example, there is a shortage of lecturers/teachers in most primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, which has a negative impact on the knowledge of future generations unless you enrol your child in private institutions, which not everyone is capable of doing. Unless the government had recruited more individuals.

Taking education as an example, there is a shortage of lecturers/teachers in most primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, which has a negative impact on the knowledge of future generations unless you enrol your child in private institutions, which not everyone is capable of doing. Unless the government had recruited more individuals.
Unemployment is one of the things that government should look into seriously in this country as we have allot of graduate flooding the street of the country, government should as a matter of emergency create job opportunities that will employee the citizens of the country this can be achieved through industrialization of the economy, government should set up medium and long term plans on ground to solve the problem of unemployment in the nation

Unemployment rate is no longer a joke we are having different schools having different graduates in different courses but no job for them and one thing wey dey funny me is the fact that even the places where jobs are available will always asked for someone with more than a year experience
If every single employer out there is looking for an experienced person how will the new graduates niw have the opportunity to get this experience
I really pray it changes for the better sooner or later because at this rate there will also be an increase in criminal activities
Man most survive
  Unemployment has gotten to the point where it should be seen as a national emergency because it's no longer funny as every year there are allot of graduate coming out of the university system with no hope of getting a job , I can say that the increase in crime in our dear country has a role or link to unemployment as they say an idle mind is the devil's work shop  government should come up with immediate and long term plans to absorb the unemployed population of the citizens to where they can be mean fully engaged in

Currently unemployment is a problem that has to receive a considerable attention, as it affects different spheres of human’s life. For whereas when many people have unemployed and/or bad jobs, we are lacking in leverage that could be used to construct a better future. Thus affirmative employment not only assists individuals to gain power and regain justice, but also brings about stableness and prosperity to that environment. Such measures would create work, teach skills, generate new jobs, and give a helping hand to local enterprises are can be a true movement towards fighting unemployment. By coming together, it means that efforts for positive change in the diversified and extensive community will in the long-run be of value.

Unemployment has become unbearable, with rates increasing daily. The government needs to address this issue. The crisis is affecting many citizens, particularly youths, who are turning to illegal activities like kidnapping, rape, terrorism, theft, and more due to lack of job opportunities.

If the government provides job opportunities for the youth, I believe that not only will the unemployment rate decrease, but also the rate of illegal activities will decline simultaneously.

Provision of jobs vacancies and invention of company and industry will really be a good idea to provide more opportunities for citizens to work and at least as you said the reduction of illegal activities will stop and citizens can live freely and secure. If the country or government bring a lot of job opportunities then everything will move forward and the economy aspects will be very much better and productive. All we need are jobs to stop this employment both educated and non educated have their own aspects of skills so providing jobs for them will really promote and support the economy and nation in general.

If you're not employed, then try as much a possible to employ yourself, this can be possible when you have taken your time to learn a particular trade and know it, then you could later in life try to make it what turns your own personal career as well, then from there, people can begin to come for patronage and you earn by charging for your service, instead of waiting for someone to get you employed.

Many people want to learn a specific skill or trade but do not have the necessary financial resources. To learn some of these skills, you will need a lot of money. In some cases, where the service charge is low, individuals are directed to purchase the basic equipment required to learn the skill. This can be difficult if the individual is not buoyant enough, as some of these items can be quite expensive.

For instance, someone who wishes to go into tech needs to have a laptop with certain specifications, which can be costly. So, while learning a skill is important, I also understand that learning it can be challenging. This has actually killed some people's motivation to learn the skill. In fact, even where there are free skill empowerment programmes, they are not as detailed, so participants will be required to continue their training, which will also require financial resources.

I agree with you on your points as most people have the needed ideas to start up something and make them self productive to society and self employed but what they really lack is the financial means to go about it, money is the main thing that is holding a lot of person's backyard from achieving their vision and goals as what you need to actualize your dreams and plains is possible through Money so if you don't have money is like your plans are incapacitated as they will not be made to materialization

The unemployment in Nigeria is a purposeful act by the Nigerian government, due to selfish and self centered mind set. They do these things for the citizens of the country to suffer.

The corruption in the country has eaten from the dept root of old leaders to the most newly elected leaders, and as a new government leader, you have to succumb to their existing methods. I take time to critically analyze the actions of the government to it's citizens; that in no time the citizens gains from the government and any possible little way in which the citizens will gains, they come up with one regulations to block it.

The internet being a place numerous opportunities exist, Nigerian IP address are restricted to access those sites.
Funny enough, the citizens still make way to survive, and that's why they can survive anywhere in the world.

Your right when you said that the situation that we find our self's with the high rate of unemployment in the country as a  deliberate act by the government to suffer and impoverish the citizens of the country because I don't see no reason why a country that is as blessed as Nigeria lacks industries where citizens will have the opportunities to work

The sole reason is so they can always dictate how the people live their lives and exert control over them. If people were well-cared for, they would be less likely to engage in activities the government would like them to, such as rigging elections or assassinating political rivals, making it harder for the government to take advantage of them for its own ends. Because of this, they are perpetually kept in poverty, making them a state tool.   

As you said, the government purposefully causes suffering for its citizens. It is not as if there are not resources available to ensure the greatest number of people are happy, but in their minds, they would lose out on providing jobs and happiness to the populace. The government constantly seeks to impose its will on the populace, and one tactic it employs to do so is to deny them a means of subsistence.

Yeah though I wouldn't call it a purposeful act , I actually see it more as an I don't care kind of act. However the whole thing is just so silly that it begins to seem as if it's a purposeful act which is actually very wrong. The government has it's sole responsibility and the fact is if they fail to attend properly to it the end result is always a poor economic status.

The labour market is being abused if you ask me and even qualified youths are now underpaid. Those who struggle to keep up self employment are drawn back by inflation too.

There is no need putting up a defense for the government. It is obviously purposeful. The government is aware of the unemployment situation in the country or are you saying that the government is not aware of the rate of unemployment and the cry of the masses? Government is even more informed than us so there is nothing happening in the country that they are not aware.

The labour market is being abused if you ask me and even qualified youths are now underpaid. Those who struggle to keep up self employment are drawn back by inflation too.

When there are no good jobs available, people will take any job they can find, regardless of pay. As you mentioned, most graduates have taken on low-paying jobs in order to stay engaged and meet the demands of life.  They may not be satisfied with their pay, but they have no choice.

I am also of the same view as you are but as time went on and looking at the continued negligence of our leaders towards their duty, I began to feel it is an intentional act from them because if the youths are gainfully employed and well paid, there would be nobody to do their dirty jobs and sing their praises carrying placards round the streets. Tell me, who will leave their office to campaign or political meetings for politicians when they are gainfully employed and are also well paid? If the youths are well equipped and leading a good life, they would have the full power to vote the leaders out and be free of being used by them to do any silly act. These are the fears of the politicians hence their negligence to the vital things that are important for the wellbeing of her citizens to lead a good life.

fact is that the leaders are intentional about some of the things they do and the issue of unemployment is one of them because our leaders know that if they carry out their responsibilities of creating job's and equip the youths with the necessary skills which will be helpful to them there will be no political tug that they will use in snatching ballot boxes and those who will be singing their praises

So they are doing everything possible to make sure that the youths has no job and no good skills that will keep them engaged so that they can manipulate them and want the masses to do their bidding when ever that they want

Well partially, intentional is quite right but based on a direct description I'll always prefer to call it the actual issue of not caring about what actually happens. The whole scenario is more like the government is paying a blind eye to both the economy and the state of citizens  making things worse by making inflation hit the economy harder than normal.

The problem is things that don't affect the leaders directly are the most things they pay less attention to. Take for example the price of fuel (petrol.....etc) being on a high side for a very long time now and still no good move made by the government simply because it doesn't hit them hard directly like the average citizen.

As you noted, the majority of crime committed by youths is motivated by frustration, and when these youths are frustrated, they will seek alternative means of survival, which are usually illegal because fate has been lost in legal activities.

These have always favored such people, and it now appears that those who are still hopeful are foolish, because the government will be much quicker to settle those who are causing problems for the country than those who are following the law.

Sadly, criminals are living better and enjoying government presence than law abiding citizens. The government should not always wait for citizens to revolt before recognizing the need to provide job opportunities for them.

Sadly enough, this is the situation we found ourselves in this country. In the words of a Nigerian singer and songwriter African China he said " Poorman wey thief magi dem go show him face for crime fighter, rich man wey thief we no go see their faces for crime fighter"  that is what is happening in Nigeria.
With respect to this topic, the hardship in the country has frustrated many people into what is not convenient for them to do but they have no option to do it just to survive the situation in the country. Many illegal activities ongoing as a result of the fact that there are no jobs, the few jobs available have been hoarded by the power that be for their children, friends etc. this is the situation and funny enough, some institution that could have employed the youths have been short down  by the government for no just reason. When all these are happening, the youths would have no option than to sort themselves out for survival. All this leads to crime in the society which the government knows very well.

I will advise that the youths should not wait for government jobs before they could find something doing. Learning skills could help, starting up a business venture that could render services is something. Atleast being self employed could help one be free from idleness and waiting for government jobs which they are not even sure of.

The hardships we face in this country are not for the rich. The unemployment we complain about does not affect the rich. All of these are felt only by the poor. The children of the rich are immediately employed after graduating from university. There are numerous secret employments in this country that only benefit the wealthy, which is why the children of the wealthy are always appointed to lucrative positions in ministries and parastatals.

I will advise that the youths should not wait for government jobs before they could find something doing. Learning skills could help, starting up a business venture that could render services is something. Atleast being self employed could help one be free from idleness and waiting for government jobs which they are not even sure of.

I subscribe to this. A person who is engaged will not consider participating in crime. There are numerous things a young person can do to survive that do not involve criminal activity. Most young people struggle to see the opportunities around them because they have not used their mental faculties to create something worthwhile for themselves, which is caused by their over-reliance on the government.

In most of the underdeveloped countries, unemployment is a serious and challenging issues faced by the teaming youths, because they finds it difficult to secure having a job to do after being a graduate or lack patronage to their handwork which they practice due to insufficient aid needed to help them have a good start of their business, we can't assume the whole responsibility of this on the governemnt, but there are times things may be needed for by the help of our government at first attempt, let everyone be independent, work and add value to themselves and the economy either by being employed or self employed.

I understand what you're saying about underdeveloped countries having limited job opportunities especially in the areas of job creation but Nigeria is one country that has a lot of potential and opportunities that nature has given to us so there is no way that you will use Nigeria a nation blessed with minerals and human resources to create the right environment by creating an environment where our young population will be gaining employed so that they can become a reasonable members of society contributing their quatre to national development

If we do not persuade our government to carry out its primary responsibilities, then only the elite few will benefit from our abundant resources. I believe that any country that is enjoying government presence today once suffered and fought to correct the evils of the government.  A people who remain silent are not prepared to enjoy the wind of change, and they will continue to suffer.

The truth is that we as a people must revolt against certain evils in our country. When people do not criticize the government for their mistakes, it remains at peace. What happens to our children if we choose to ignore the government and seek our own means of survival? What about the image of our country? I think If we seek means to survive on our own as you mentioned we should also speak up against government wrong doings.

We don't have to rely solely on government, because I don't think government is ready to take any action against the issue of unemployment in the country. We need to be responsible and work very hard to sustain the economic and our lives. Education is seen as devalued in the eyes of the people, and they view it as a waste of time, energy, and money. This is because, in the end, someone may not get the desired outcome or reward despite years of studying tirelessly and years of hard work.

The government will not change unless we change the process of electing people to leadership. All election processes in Nigeria are flawed. Well, I believe that in Nigeria, we select rather than elect. The term election is used to deceive the international community, but we are all aware that there are numerous flaws with what we call an election.

Imagine a country where INEC rigs elections for a candidate, a country where Lady Justice's eyes are open to accept bribes in order to deliver injustice as judgment, and a country where LGA chairmen and councillors are imposed on the people only to share money that should be used for development with their godfathers. These scenarios explain why the government finds it difficult to create opportunities for citizens.

Many illegal activities ongoing as a result of the fact that there are no jobs, the few jobs available have been hoarded by the power that be for their children, friends etc. this is the situation and funny enough, some institution that could have employed the youths have been short down  by the government for no just reason. When all these are happening, the youths would have no option than to sort themselves out for survival. All this leads to crime in the society which the government knows very well.

The hardships we face in this country are not for the rich. The unemployment we complain about does not affect the rich. All of these are felt only by the poor. The children of the rich are immediately employed after graduating from university. There are numerous secret employments in this country that only benefit the wealthy, which is why the children of the wealthy are always appointed to lucrative positions in ministries and parastatals.

I will advise that the youths should not wait for government jobs before they could find something doing. Learning skills could help, starting up a business venture that could render services is something. Atleast being self employed could help one be free from idleness and waiting for government jobs which they are not even sure of.

I subscribe to this. A person who is engaged will not consider participating in crime. There are numerous things a young person can do to survive that do not involve criminal activity. Most young people struggle to see the opportunities around them because they have not used their mental faculties to create something worthwhile for themselves, which is caused by their over-reliance on the government.

Sometimes I just wonder how things got this worse in our country. I  ask myself questions as to which of the system of government benefits the Nigerian citizens at most, we claim we are in the democratic system of government but now it seems as if the military government back then is now very much better than the civilian/democratic system of government.  Things getting worse than they used to be ever since the inception of democracy, corruption is everywhere, crime rate is on the rise as a result of the hardship in society.

Have a look at Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore has transformed the country in just 2 years of his regime and the citizens are very happy and want him to extend his tenure, he slashed the salaries of political heads and appointees even the parliamentarians as well for the civil servants in his country. He has completed the tomato factory creating more employment, the gold mining factory is currently ongoing if I am not mistaken and all these are done under a military government compared to civilian rule. But here in our country, the reverse is always the case, institutions and organizations that should be creating employment are closed, instead, taxation is their major focus and means of frustrating the youths so they could use them whenever an election is near.

The government will not change unless we change the process of electing people to leadership. All election processes in Nigeria are flawed. Well, I believe that in Nigeria, we select rather than elect. The term election is used to deceive the international community, but we are all aware that there are numerous flaws with what we call an election.

Imagine a country where INEC rigs elections for a candidate, a country where Lady Justice's eyes are open to accept bribes in order to deliver injustice as judgment, and a country where LGA chairmen and councillors are imposed on the people only to share money that should be used for development with their godfathers. These scenarios explain why the government finds it difficult to create opportunities for citizens.
You've said it all, the situation of the country is getting worst day by day due to poor electoral system. Welcome to Nigeria, a country where money rule living the poor uncared for, and neglecting them. As we are now, INJUSTICE is another name for Nigeria. The poors serve as a ladder, for some certain individual to climb and reach the power, so that they can represent us as our leaders, but at the end of the day they disappoint us. The poors will suffer and vote for their preferable person, but the electoral system will rigs the election and select their choice to represent us as the leaders.

Corruption and bribery as takeover Nigeria. But I also blame some poors who sold their rights for money, just because of the peanut that someone candidate offers them during campaign, they will choose to vote for the person even if they don't want that person to represent them, forgetting about how they are going to survive the rest of the the years. If Nigerians can collaborate, unite and come together as a group we will be able to achieve our goals. But people have different colors, and selfishness and greediness will not allow us to collaborate and make the right choice in choosing the right leaders. As the numbers of graduate increases the rate of Unemployment also increased, honesty the problems of this country is getting out of hand.

The leaders only want poor people around so that when they call for political rallies and party meetings, they can attract those vulnerable.

Take a look at the people who attend political rallies; the vast majority are poor people who have been mobilized with peanuts to make the candidate appear popular.

This is the only point I think that people are needed in the electioneering process.

We cannot wait while expecting for better days without taking some steps to make things work out for us as we have wanted, employment is not what the government can circulate to everyone, but we can make our own best in seeing that we are being independent and self sustainable for our own self, we can try to learn on skills trades, which will enable us to have our own personal capacity building for man power and we wont constitute the numbers of unemployed youth in the country, instead the employer of labourers.

+1 mate actually the fact is the poorer the masses , the more easy it is to control them in fact the higher the number of poor masses the easier it is for them to be able to be bribed or deceived. The problem of unemployment is a big one. Take a good look at the  minimum wage and you'll find out that it's not even enough to take up the needs of a regular citizen.

The degrading economy affects literally everything ranging from cost of living to even management of businessess.

To me the most painful part is when applying for a job and they are looking for individuals with 5-10 years work experience me wey just dey graduate.
Nowadays looking for a white-collar job is difficult but having a skill or craft can also be helpful to provide for yourself, being an entrepreneur even do it is hard and expensive especially looking for  capital to start business is better than someone just waiting for or looking for job employment
unemployment in nigeria is a critical issues,for me my advice for us is to move ahead,we don't need to depend on the government anymore they have totally faild us,the best solution is to think the right alternative or decission to make either enrolling in skills acquisition or going to a business if you have the idea of business plan just be creative by the way everybody must not be a government worker.

This has always been the strategy the politicians use which the citizens and youths fail to understand, they just intentionally make things difficult for the citizens so that they are not gainfully employed. They do not bother doing any form of empowerment for the youths but only their lackeys and loyalists. They are just afraid because if they do the right thing, nobody would sing their praise and when it is time for campaign and election, nobody would side with anybody but rather they will vote with power and nobody would be cajoled and allow themselves to be used by the politicians to fulfill their goals during election hence their attitude and nonchalant display towards the economy and youth empowerment in the society.

Nothing our government don talk about this, everyday more people dey finish school no work even to increase salary na problem Nigeria as e dey so the wahala plenty. If you no go you no go know.
Corruption at various levels of the country even though the government should be highly blamed for this because they are mean to serve and care for the safety of the lives of citizens, individuals also has a part to play in corruption, imagine a the MD of a private company automatically disqualifying Job applicants not because they don't deserve the job but because he or sh is keeping that job for his son or daughter who is still in the tertiary Institution. It's so absolutely evil of men. May God help us all

The issue of unemployment is really a disturbing and alarming situation in the country today, this has lead most youth into all sort of illicit and illegal activities all in the name of making money, sincerely speaking I don't entirely blame the youth the actual fault is from the government who are meant to provide jobs opportunities for its citizens, but has failed in that aspect, but when a citizen commits a crime, they are quick to arrest that individual all in the name of justice the reall injustice should be addressed which is providing job opportunities to the youths out there.

Even though the government doesn't provide jobs for the citizens doesn't give them the opportunity for them to engage in illegal behavior, citizens can create job opportunities for themselves by learning a skill or handwork which they can be able to secure enough money to take care of themselves. They have their mayes out there hustling and bustling just to earn a living. So let's stop blaming the government for everything the change to our life lies in our hands.

It is difficult for people to behave well in the face of poverty and poor governance. Most people engaged in illegal behavior in order to revolt against the government. When people believe that the government does not care about them, they will not be civic because they are frustrated that the few elites are the only ones benefiting from the country's treasury, and they will do anything to survive, whether it is legal or illegal.

Frustration can lead to aggression, and people no longer care what goes wrong. Learning a skill at an advanced level costs money, so not everyone can afford to learn a skill, and it is difficult because sponsorships are limited or unavailable.

Since the government hasn't created job opportunities for all citizens, it's important for us to set clear goals and do something that will be beneficial for ourselves. We can't rely solely on the government because the government is busy sustaining its own interest. As an unemployed person, be grateful to God for not creating you with a disability (handicap) because you will have some opportunities to sustain your life by finding something beneficial to do that with generate income. They are local skills that can earn you a perfect income beyond government work or white collar jobs such as setting up a business, tailoring, carpentry, bricklaying and so on. You have to work hard and dedicate your time to whatever you choose to do. You must stay committed to your work for you to be successful.

I agree with you, you will see someone with legs, hands eyes, nose etc. all the body parts are complete, but he or she still keeps blaming the government, My very own question is that what is actually stopping him or her from creating a job for themselves, you don't expect the government to provide me everything for you.  Let's all take action and make life better for ourselves and that of our family, there are a lot of lucrative skills out there that one can delve into and become financially stable

Bro it not easy as you see it some really wants to  work or even get a business for themselves but the capital is stoping a lot of individuals. To get capital and start up a business will really takes alot of time cause in Nigeria no hand jobs can serve you bigger money for getting a capital but after all man have to hustle and get settled. So many are really trying and working hard for themselves but your point is positive many are still out there doing nothing complaining about the government each day and they are still sitting doing nothing. The faster we gather the money the sooner we enjoyed it. But the bad economic is really a negative impact to the society and the individuals in it, we pray for better governance.

Sometimes I see people who gets the opportunity mock at others or call them lazy. No matter how hardworking a man is he still needs someone's kindness to excel and that is why so many people with good plans cannot get their plans projected because of no support.

Some of these persons only need little push to stand on their feet but unfortunately they don't get the little push and so it appears as though they are not doing anything to get ahead.

What step do you want to take in that same country, the protest? It has been done and nothing serious came out of it, is it the vote of favourite candidate or the man that may do the good work, it has been done but didn't work out, all because there is too much political ethnicity within the country, they don't like each other

To me, if only one tribe remain in Nigeria and they are to create perfection for that country, it will not be as better as we think because the ways of Nigeria is what they are doing because everyone is wired and program to exploit the system, only God can lead that country well.

Gonna those days when people are interested and happy to go to school. Even now people are still having that mentality that after education they will secure good white collar jobs and be contented. Now if anyone is going to school it is not for public employment but for knowledge sake so he can use it to work in other platforms like self employed and online business like investment. Because investment like cryptocurrency needs knowledge. Nigeria governments do not care about it citizens again. Even if they are suffering it is not the government business in fact the government is the one increasing the suffering of the people. And if any graduate is waiting for the government to be employed, he is wasting his time.
