This is why people go to school, get a degree, master a profession, drop that profession, and head back into the streets to continue the rough way.
This particular line really got to me, in our today's Nigeria you see lots of graduates in the street doing minimal jobs just to survive and so you ask yourself what was the essence of going to school, even if not for the degree while in the process didn't they thought of an alternative skillset? Why will someone spend such a number of years in school just to end up in the streets driving maruwa doing odd jobs ....
Talking about jealousy and envy I'm not particularly a fan of that, but I have a room mate we currently stay together since second year tho we're out of the system waiting for national service, this guy freaking annoying, he's naturaly gifted in asking, like you won't know when you pull out funds to him meanwhile he's not doing anything to help with daily expenses...most times am like when I'm out of here I'm not sharing my space with anyone cause I quite kinda like my privacy.
In Nigeria, the system is backwards. I feel that Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. First of all, the incessant demand for university degrees are why some higher institutions are so expensive. However, everyone wants to work white collar jobs, so much that the people who want to do lowly jobs that requires skill acquisitions are low in number.
However, it's what it is. There are no provisions for graduates, and it baffles me because when you go to places like UK, there are so many establishments that caters for foreign and nations and you begin to wonder how Nigeria is so wealthy we cannot even guarantee jobs for 50% of our own graduates. We've voted in the wrong people again.
As for your friend, I feel that his ability to be so persuasive can actually be honed and put to go use in another positive way.
The system here is choked up, one of the things I really take out was to be creators of jobs instead of. Just demands, of course there are no jobs anymore, those in government jobs wants to die there before been taken out,
But to create jobs we need so sort of amenities, facilities to aid growth but our government are busy looking in the wrong direction instead of harnessing the full potentials of fresh graduates provide with all necessities to Create jobs and mob out excesses of unemployed youth no they won't do that, I'm to believe this is one of the reason the western economy flourishes, all those mega companies that now employs thousands was started by an individual with little support it blossom likes of Facebook Apple Amazon etc. But here no way they will rather kill your ambition
No wonder many energetic Nigerians are running out.
