NIGERIAN
UNEMPLOYMENT CRISIS
Youth unemployment is a global crisis, a problem that
has led to frustration, robbery, killing, death, suicides, terrorisms, (boko
Aram in Africa and ISIS, ISIL in the median East) lost of investments, lost of
properties and many more. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on
Tuesday said that 54 per cent of Nigerian youths were unemployed in 2012. - See

FUTURE SHOCK
The advice ‘go to
school, graduate with good grades and get a high paying good job’ will no
longer work again.
For the first time in the history of Nigeria, by 2025,
many will believe their children will not do better financially than them by
sending them to our traditional school.
This year 2015 presidential election, all the parties’
candidate promised millions of job creation to all Nigerians during their
manifestos but to our greatest surprise, we will discover that they can never
achieve it.How can it happen when Nigeria factory workers earn less #428 per
day? Many Nigerians are happy when they hear about the upcoming change but many
has not thought it that how much wages/salaries will this so called up-coming
industries be able to offer us in the long run.
And many Nigerians are still pleased and comfortable
with the state of poverty, what a understanding generation we have. Yet
government still syphon them for their own Interest.
In our country, education is becoming more vital than
ever. Our schools provide the vital function of training skilled workers to
support the Nigerian economy. For instance, school train doctors, engineers,
lawyers, cooks, police officers, construction workers, bankers, accountants,
teachers, social workers, military personnel, mechanics, and managers, who are
all important to a civilized world country.
Yet as the global economy contracts, how many of this
people, educated or uneducated, will find jobs or have already found job? In
April of 2014, a statistic shows that to greater than70% of Nigerians
graduating class was unable to get a job while 15% didn’t find a meaningful
employment. 6% found jobs, but are underemployed and the rest percent found a
fulfilling job.
Punch shows last two months that 1.8million graduates
enter the labor market every year in the last 10years and found no job in a
country where more than 40million people are unemployed, what a tragedy?
In our schools, you discover that a classroom that is
built to make just 500students to learn comfortably, more than 2500student will
be receiving lectures in that same capacity.
Same also with the outside walls of schools in Nigeria.
Government will only have provision to employing just 20,000 graduating students
for instance but put more than 1.8million students for training in the school
and you don’t have to be a professor in mathematics to know others that will be
remaining without a job, what a disaster the government are piling-up for this
great nation.
The question then is:
what kind of education is important in our days?
And I believe government has also “bam bus” parents to
see that without the system of education they have created their child cannot
succeed in the real world. Because, why do we have parents say to their kids
often; “go to school to get a high paying job”, when there is scarcity in job
creation.
Why become an engineer or attorney when technology
makes it possible to hire accountants & attorneys from the developed
nation? OR
Why talk in job security when advance in technology
make some jobs obsolete? And why is there so little or not at all, financial
education taught in our schools?
Do you know that the 85richest guys in the world today
have a combined wealth of 35billion people in the world where our global
population is about 7billion people. Going to school doesn’t guarantee wealth.
The richest people are entrepreneurs not employees. And our system of education
is designed in a way to create plenty of employees than entrepreneurs. Be
financial intelligent. GAI is ready to give you all you need to break free from all financial
struggles.
