The monster called unemployment

The implication as the regard massive unemployment staring us in the face is a time bomb waiting to explode. 

Just where do we go from here? Why has the older generations put us in this mess? As I type this after seeing the pictures of job seekers (OND, BSC, Msc, PhD) applying for few positions in Nigeria Immigration Service, my eyes are filled with tears... So sad that as a young employer of labour, I am totally perplexed.

With national conference coming up, it is people who are already at the departure lounge of life (over 60 years and above) that form large chunk of representatives of disccusants that may likely shape the future of the younger generations; some of same people that put us where we are!

At this age and time, some backward people and organizations are conducting tests in stadia across the country when the world is advanced in technology. Tests that can be conducted online and then successful candidates can be called up for physical exercise. Over 500,000 applied for the job, how can we not expect to have hitch and rowdiness at the screening venue?

We don't understand the implications of the monster issue of unemployment crisis yet, if we do, we will not only be asking questions but putting in efforts and actions as well.

The blame of unemployment also stems from the quality of graduates that are produced. Many are unemployable and lack entrepreneurial skills.

Although, the key is still the government creating an enabling environment for business to thrive. But that responsibility does NOT lie with the Goverment alone.

However, it is not just about criticizing but proffering solutions... Fellow youth, where do we go from here?
