Nigerian Youths- 50% UNEMPLOYED or 50% UNEMPLOYABLE?

My Sister and I were home this morning and we heard someone comment on TV that 50% of the youths in Nigeria are unemployed. This then got us talking, are these youths, really unemployed because there are no jobs or they are unemployed because they are unemployable? By unemployable, what we mean is a lot of Nigerian youths do not have a presentable packaging when they are seeking employment, they lack spunk and carriage, you come for an interview and you're late, not properly dressed or without an idea of what the organization you are seeking employment from is about! Even you yourself, wouldn't want to employ yourself. Yet, we find some people however even when employed lack the key skills that they require to remain employed.

Friend of God

“Hello is that the U- Haul Company, I need a driver and a van to come help me move my things from Haran, my name is Mr. Abram” Abram spoke into the receiver. “Where are you moving to?” the official asked I don’t know where I am going; just send me a van first thing in the morning” Abram replied, sounding firm. “What do you mean; you don’t know where you are going? How do you expect us to charge you and by the way, what is your name? the official asked rolling his eyes, who calls a U-Haul company with no destination in mind. “I am Mr. Abram Terah, as for the cost, that won’t be a problem, just come” Abram was getting impatient with these questions and answers. “How old are you Mr. Terah?” the name dint ring a bell to him, maybe he was from out of town “I am seventy five years and why is that important?” “Seventy five; oh my God! You must be a senile old man, I bet the place you are moving to is a sanatorium, you had better call the department for veterans, so they come check you into ...
