165,000 applicants apply for 3,000 nigeria immigration jobs
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As i read the news a couple of days ago, i was taken aback at the rate of unemployment within the country. 165,000 graduates applying for only 3,000 jobs.

By my calculations, that is 65 persons for every 1 job available at the immigrations.

Today, there are possibly close to a million unemployed or under-employed nigerian youths raoming the streets of Nigeria.

I hope and pray that something meaningful will be done soon. We need to end the probe era and move on to meaningful development work. We need to move forward and stop looking back. we need to create jobs.

Nigeria must work!

Re: 165,000 applicants apply for 3,000 nigeria immigration jobs
It is quite pathetic reading a story like this. I think young people graduating from our universities need to look inwards and discover their talents in which they can use and earn a living.

White collar job was not meant for everybody! If you cant have why kill yourself? The fact that you have that paper (certificate) doesnt mean you have a pass to white collar job. What's in this immigration job anywhere? How much do they even earn??

Abeg, make I hear word! You can start a trade, paint, teach, draw, mould, color is you like and I bet, you'll make more money that a banker in one month. Right now, I earn much more than a cash office working in the bank, as a fresh graduate. That's because, I choose to do web design which was my hobby as my main job now. I read microbiology and guess what....? I hate working in the lab!

Even the Bible mentions that ' the gift of every man maketh way for him'. If youcan talk, turn into a comedian or get clost to Nollywood. If you can draw, draw and sell online, people are there to buy it. If you can weave, weave! Anything you can do with your own hands can actually open a way for you.

Lets not give these media house a caption for their 'useless' newspapers anymore....

Promise??

Immigration 'death-trap'
I replied a bloq the other day about immigration jobs in Nigeria. I would want to believe now, that I was correct about my views.

Imagine the number of young people that lost their lives during the just concluded Immigration recruitment excercise. I will keep on advising young Nigerians to sit back and think about stuffs they could actually use their hands to do that could fetch them some mega bucks.

White collar jobs were not meant for everyone! Imagine the number of lives lost! 2 in Abia, 7 in Kaduna, probably more elsewhere! These are the lives of potential impactors; the next Wole Soyinkas; the next Dora Akunyilis; potential change agents!

These guys were not trained personnels to have been forced to undergo such an herculean task. Atleast, First Aid kits or an Ambulance with trained personnels would have been assigned to every state carrying out the recruitment excercise to resuscitate lives. One would believe that most of these young people probably might have had one heart disease or the other left unattended considering the environmental impact of our today's 'Nigeria'.

I would suggest that, future applicants should be subjected to X-ray examinations before recruitment and the provision of medical experts with required tools to be in full gear during the next recruitment excercise.

We cant afford to lose any more lives!
While mourning, I pray that souls of the departed find rest in the bossom of Abraham. Amen!

Any news from your area??
