What is it that the unemployed want, youth or otherwise?
In an informal discussions I have had with a cross-section of the Nigerian unemployed, especially the youths on finance and jobs I have to come to the conclusion that many of us do not want jobs but money. Ask one what he or she will prefer job or money you will see the majority going for the later. Now ask what they will do with the money, you will be amazed at the number that will be going for consumables (luxury consumables for that matter like posh cars, exotic apartments etc) with very little going for investment in real productive sectors.
Can you pause and think for a minute! What do want? money or the job that yields the money continually? And if the answer is the later do you not think you should acquire the relevant skill that will give one or let you create one. or What do you think? Let me know.
