Hey,i need a job!

Job Seeker:Oga,i need a job,am a graduate of sociology,finished school 2years ago,am really frustrated,tired,most of my mates have good jobs.I wonder why life is treating me like this?

Manager of a bank:So how do i help you,what can you do?

Job Seeker:Anytinnnn,will do everythinn self

This is a typical conversation of a Young Nigerian that has been searching for a job for a while.The truth of the matter is he was asked a question about what he can do and he said anything,this is very,very,very typical of us in this part of the world,anything can be anything

You can be asked to steal(not directly now),forge,dupe,etc Is that not something to do?

Nigerians,are smart,energetic,brilliant and hardworking,but most of us have a mind set of going to school graduating with good grades and then get a very good job.
But the truth of the matter is we do not have enough jobs in Nigeria,and because we are strong,brilliant and smart,we need to have a mind set of how I as a person can start my own business with the little kobo i have
Aliko Dangote made the forbes list again,but what we dont know is that he actually started with buying and selling of goods and commodities like cement.His Grandfather empowered him .That was the practice then(i might not have anybody to empower me but i can still start from somewhere).Check out his biography on http://www.africansuccess.org/.

I am a graduate i dont have a job,but i am determined to make it in life,how?
There are 1001 small businesses i can go into,here in Nigeria and i will be the talk of the town,i will also be an employer of labour.I do not need huge amount of money to start with,besides i only have a few kobo.

I am not even a graduate but i can read and write very well because of my financial situation i have not been able to go further in my academic pursue,nobody is willing to offer me a job cos i dont have what it takes ie the certificate.I believe i will still make it am intelligient enough afterall Cosmos Maduka,is a well known Nigerian.He never had a formal education but he sits atop conglomerates-Coscharis group-Read more about him on www.thisdayonline.com/archive/2004. He won the thisday businessman of the year award(Remeber he is not a graduate oh,he started with spareparts,his wife is a graduate).I WILL MAKE IT.
