While some are getting over N250K a year in one of Nigerian banks, some are still selling La Casera in suits at the park, always thank God for life and what's to come

Well to be idle is the devils workshop. But how can a skilled graduate to engaged in an unskilled job. Nigeria is really suffering.

It happens ALL around the world. Young people all over the world graduate from higher institutions with no job to go to. Some have taken to standing in train, tube and bus stations and street corners with signboards around their necks advertising themselves. Some have been given jobs others are doing menial jobs to keep body and soul together!!!
I wish the young man in the photo the best of luck - although the picture looks staged?

Who cares
This exactly is the problem with us and why we can never progress, such reckless and careless odoriferous statement should be strictly avoided by people without any mental incapabilities, understandably you do not know this young chap but thats not a visa for you to throw them in the thrash like who cares, thats just a wrong attitude to a fellow human, if na you born am wey e dey sell La casera and kpekere for park you go dey ask "who cares?"

In as much as it is better than staying idle, how far can he go? Wot of d parents dat made lots of sacrifices to send him to school? Can he even take care of them with dis kind of job? Can he even meet up with wot is required of him, get accommodation, get married etc. I pray he won't get frustrated along d line and succumb to quick cash syndrome. This is wot over 50% of graduates in Nigeria go thru. Govt is not even helping matters as per job creation. I write with deep sorrow in my heart cos I'm not better than this guy. God pls give me d grace d remain sane and avoid anything that will not glorify ur holy name. Amen

Why are you always so loud in this forum.Tell me what is wrong in hawking?.Let me tell you,all self made Millionaires in this World started like this.I am not talking about those that inherited money from their Dad or their Mum or their Uncle or their Aunts,I am talking about people like Mr Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis) who was a poor boy without a father that made it to the highest level,he started like this,I am talking about people like Igwe Mama (Ifesinachi Motors),who started as a truck pusher and made it to the top and who is now a King in his place.The problem with us in this country is that we just want to finish school and Government will give us work,but we can start something and employ others.....that is called Business,that is called Entrepreneurship.......in the street you can call it hustle or hustling as long as you are not breaking the law.Government cannot employ everybody.....get that into your thick skull.
