Goodmorning Nigerian youths. Today, I want to dare your minds, your creativity, your inner passion, your dying zeal, your zeal for success, your potentials and what have you.
Firstly, I am going to share a story of a close friend as a way of inspiring you all.
See, enough is enough! There are definitely not enough jobs to employ all the able-bodied youths out there. The government can't do much...and your certificate can't do much for you too unless you put your talent, passion and creativity to use.
I know some graduates are tired of sending CVs to various companies only to be invited for an aptitude with thousands of other smart, highly connected graduates...and at the end you do not hear from these employers again, please cry no more and blame them not because they can't employ all the applicants, that's if you don't want them to wind up soon as a result of over staffing and long payroll.
Now my story.
I have this foreign friend, he is from Fiji...his dad is from Fiji while his mom is from Australia. You know Fiji, they are just like Nigeria...but a small island near Australia.
Their economy is not smiling...just tourism and stuff like that.
His dad left Fiji to sojourn in Australia with his wife. He had no university education, so he managed to start up a small tourism business. What was his business all about?
Using boat to carry tourists to tourism destinations in exchange for little cash. Gradually, this man built an empire of business in the tourism industry between Fiji and Australia...also extended to New Zealand...but unfortunately, he died at the age of 42...by that time, my good friend was only 12...so his mom remarried another Australian man who now raised him as a step-son.
My friend went to the university (technical), studied electrical engineering...and when he graduated, it wasn't easy for him to secure a job...so my fellow Nigerian youths, unemployment isn't just in Nigeria...it spreads across the atlantic and in fact the red sea too.
He said he wanted to be a successful guy at all cost, that there was no room for him to fail in life, so he stopped applying for jobs and focused on creating his own job from nothing aside his technical skills (electrical).
He said he first brought out some time to visit some places in Fiji to survey and explore business opportunities...in the process, he discovered a need in the area: they needed trustworthy and efficient electricians. He travelled back to Australia to get himself ready by bringing a team of his friends; the talented and serious-minded ones.
He went back to Fiji with his friends...they got a small apartment...and started up their own electrical and construction company.
