Unemployment



The youths are on crossroads,
Having bags of degrees,
Going from one No vacancy to another,
Tired, Impatient, Sad and Helpless,
Is the tone of their voices.
From where can they arrange a comfortable livelihood?
To grease their palms, where can they get ducats?
When will the government,
Turn their merciful hearts towards,
The needs of the youths of this country.

  1. Exactly. Reason for so many vices being reported daily. Self-employment, enterpreneurship - not easy; unless government sincerely create an enabling environment, like funding, equipment, etc.

  2. You are right in your observation. Advocacy for self-employment should be more proactive by governments at all level, providing the necessary enabling environment like infrastructure, finance, exposure and all it takes to be self-employed. The society is tired of youth restiveness and its attendant vices.

  3. Well, for as many youths aged 18 to 40 who have a post secondary education and are Nigerian citizens, there is a Federal Government funded programme called Youth Enterprise with innovation in Nigeria which will fund your business idea or existing business to the tune of 10 million naira. No kidding because I know some of the beneficiaries. You have to submit your business plan online at www.youwin.org.ng. its a competition so you have to put in your best. The next edition starts on Monday 25th November 2013 but you can apply on the website to submit your business plan. If you need any help or want to meet any of the past winners, you can call me on 08033781149 or 08053170293
