NIGERIA UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES
Nigerian's are getting tired!!!
Are we the fools or being fooled,certainly we are both. When some set of people came with a mere slogan "change" we all accepted it, danced it,played it and even recite it. Not mindful of the kind of change we might likely come about. Changes differs,it might be for good or bad,for improvement or for the unbelievable and the unexpected. How many Nigerian's took their time to ask the great expected saviour the kind of changes he's bringing, how many of the poor masses was able to express their plight of hardship to the expected great leader so that he will be focused? A clear fact as shown recently that the same way we got the slogan change was the same way he heard it too,he had no agenda of change,the election manifestos were merely the handwritten of the campaign manager not the statement he was expected to carry out in office. A university student that wants to graduate with a first class degree must have layed the foundation from the first year,if this administration is faulty from the first year,expect the worse of it in the remaining three years. We only hear it would be achieved but none has yet been 'prolepsis'. Less than 10% of Nigerian's enjoys the wealth there in. If we continue like this, our son's will become slaves to the children of the enslavers of Nigerian just as we are slaves to their fathers. Nigerian's we are in the computer age,are we thinking anti-clock wise, we have been cajoled by this great liers, yet we fold our arms in hope for good,hoping for an hopeless hope. If we are quiet our problems remain claim and eat us sweet the way flies enjoy to suck wounds. But with one voice raised we can make the real change we desire and the change we deserve.
CREATE JOB WE ARE TIRED OF SUFFERING
They made education compulsory, why won't they make employment compulsory? They arrest innocent young boys and girls hawking on the street looking for what to eat and means of survival claiming its improper, why won't they arrest unemployed graduates on the street and tell them its improper to look for job they are supposed to be in their offices. Why are they fooling us,why are they making life difficult, when we can't work to feed, we should not hawk to feed? Stop arresting them and stop making them for the bail of what they did not buy. Create employment opportunities and they will stop being hawkers on the street.
War should not only be declared on
insurgency, militancy and corruption. War should also be declared on
unemployment before it will become an epidemic. A worker goes home tired after
the work stress of the day, thinks about the undone work of the day and how to
complete it the following day to avoid work load, have a stressed day and
thinks about the comfort of his home and how he will enjoy his salary. But a
jobless person brings out the violence in him, thinks of several ways of
getting what to eat not minding the end result. If the hundreds of boko haram
insurgents had something doing or if the thousands of the MASSOB lives an average
or comfortable life, we won't see them on the street asking for what their a
just participation in government. According to a report from the Nigeria bureau
of statistics over 140,000.00 (one hundred and forty thousand) jobs were published
online in the last seven months, and the same statistic records over 1.5million
youths are unemployed in Nigeria. How can 140,000.00 jobs serve 1.5million
people and it was still clearly shown that out of the over 140,000 online jobs,
government vacancies are not up to 50. Does this administration really have at
heart the welfare of the Nigerian youths, does this administration really have
plans to change the situation of unemployment in this country as they claim?
WHAT A CHANGE!!!
We will be into the seventh month of the
administration of change, the change we clamored and voted for, the change we
believed we needed and worked hard to get. Here we are nothing seems to have changed
about the Nigeria.
The
war against indiscipline, corruption and insurgency remained the same or even getting
worse. The problem in the oil sector seems not to have a solution as fuel
scarcity glows the market and fuel pump price increases and even price from the
black marketers is the same with the pump price in some filling stations. Our economy
is getting worse, more a Nigerians are gaining unemployment instead of
employment with retrenchments and mass sack in existing industries, companies
and government owned establishments.
How
long will a university or a polytechnic graduate survive on 5000naira monthly
stipend in a harsh and hard economy such as ours. According to a report from
the National Bureau of Statistics, the rate of unemployment grew from 8.2% to
9.9% between July 1st and September 30th which means close to 1.5 million
Nigerian Graduates are jobless. This are active and energetic youths who are well
trained in various Nigeria higher institutions and are willing and actively
seeking for an employment after fulfilling all the requirements necessary for a
citizen to be employed and live a happy life in his country. What is the fate
of the University students when the labour market is over saturated? What is
the fate of the polytechnic students when the economy cannot sustain itself? What
is the fate of the college of education students when we have private schools
that cannot afford to pay 10,000 naira monthly salary for a teacher? Government
is neither employing nor making any provision for these Nigerian youths, yet our
institution runs yearly and produce thousands of graduates. What is the fate of
the current Nigerian youth Corpers when there are millions of unemployed
ex-corpers who are yet waiting for the change we voted for? Was this the change
we voted for when we came out in the hot sun making sure our vote counts? Was
this the change we were promised during election campaign that as soon as they
assumed office there will be massive recruitment by the government? Was this
the change thousands of Nigerian Jobless Graduates voted for with full
expectation of a life changing government that will transform Nigeria?
Nigeria Jobless Graduates! Its time we ask the
government of the unfulfilled promises. It's time we ask for what belongs to us
as citizens of this great country. It's time we march out peacefully in the
streets capital city of Nigeria to ask the government of its plan for the
Nigeria Jobless Graduates. We are not lazy, not unintelligent, not unemployable
as Nigerian politicians claim. We are full bodied Nigerians, mentality,
physically and morally sound and fit for every opportunity and we are ready to
showcase our intelligence. We are Nigerians, and we are ready to work for the
progress of our dear country.
We are the Nigerian Jobless Graduates.
WHY ARE WE CALLED GRADUATES
We are called graduates because we have successfully completed our course of study or training in our various institution of study as provided by the law of Nigeria and especially we are persons who have been awarded an undergraduate or first academic degree certificate from a recognised institution in Nigeria.
What have we benefitted as a graduate from a Nigerian University or polytechnic? Why are they saying education is a key to success when the so-called graduates are being pushed aside saying the Nigerian graduates are unemployable, and introducing entrepreneurship of 10naira soap making and 50naira barbing salon when the children of the wealthy are there sinking in the billions of Nigeria wealth that was embezzled by their parents, our billions but yet we have no help and we are still quiet about it. If other great politicians of old has embezzled the same way, i wonder if anything will be left in Nigeria today.
We the Nigerian Jobless Graduates are calling for attention. We need a part in the constitution that will provide for the care of the unemployed graduates from a Nigeria institution and not the so-called 5000naira stipend in which most of the politicians children cannot even wear the shoe not to talk of giving a full bodied graduate to live on for a complete month.
