There is hope even in a country were there is job Glot and nothing seems to be working. Hundreds of graduates come out every year with CV in hand looking for a place to work, there is hope and hope starts from RE-ORIENTATION. It starts with providing a need,gradually the euphoria of reading engineering(Mechanical..civil..etc )and the rest of the courses so to work in oil companies and federal parastatals is coming to an end .Where are the oil companies?They are laying of staffs everyday? Where are the federal parastatals ?They are owing,as the government is struggling to stay afloat.The banks are downsizing and taking few staffs and we think the end is near,but it's not.There would be an INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION a time for us to know that it's not what you learnt on paper that counts , but creativity,practical application,providing a need to the society to put food on your table.THE era of connection is gradually ending, but what have you to offer to the SOCIETY is what's TRENDING.What value,what skill?what creativity do you bring to the table to carve a niche for yourself.Many nigerian entrepreneurs are springing forth,I see make -up artist charge 150k for just a bridal make -up on a weekend which equals to what most bankers earn in a month. I see young ladies own big fashion houses and are recognised internationally,i have seen some boys from the yoruba tribe who didn't go to school, they didn't read mechanical engineering or any of that stuff but are skilled in Fabrication .They fabricate machines for companies and are paid in millions to save them the stress of ordering from China and cost of maintenance.Here in NIGERIA,I have seen housewives who are skilled in cooking now run there own private buisness and deliver fresh home made meals to different houses at 5k and in a month they get 200k just cooking.My point is it doesnt matter what you want to do, do it well.If you are an accountant be the best, if you an architect be the best.If you sew or you are a cloth merchant strive for the best in quality and in service.
Hard work can never go unrewarded and would eventually pay off. The old dirge of a failed country with hundreds of graduates roaming the streets is becoming to sound like a toothless old woman forced to chew raw meat. We cant all have white collar jobs, we cant all be politicians.Lets learn to lay less blame on the government and more on ourselves. Search your self and discover your skill today.Think outside the box,think of a skill You have and think of what the need you have to provide to your society to make things easier and bring in income .Nigeria is still a developing nation and untapped skills abide everywhere, future business empires and big enterprenuers would spring forth in this revolutionary stage . Lets all be part of this revolution , a change in thinking, a change in action , change in the way we see life and this reformation starts from us.
