This man shared the sad reality of some individuals who travel abroad to study and come home to a salary that can barely keep you going for a week. He talked about a friend who graduated with distinction in Masters from a UK University only for him to be offered a N50,000 a month job when he came back to Nigeria. Read more of his tweet after the cut...
Well that's really f*cked!!!

ReplyDeleteGod forbid.
ReplyDeleteFucked up country.
ReplyDeleteGodforbid
ReplyDeleteWhats Godforbid?having a distinction in masters without working experience doesn't make u better than a degree holder in nigeria who can aswell deliver. Will u force an employer to lavish pay on u jst cos u schooled abroad? Hw sure is it u can do the job well.
DeleteLol
ReplyDeleteI agree with this guy, he spoke all forms of truth. May God help us all in this country especially the youths.
ReplyDeleteDayum!!! This post just soured my mood... I'm so freaking pissed! And to think that I plan going to the UK for my masters this Sept. *phew* This is total BS.
ReplyDeleteIt's indeed sad to think of.
ReplyDeleteIssssokay.
ReplyDeleteHMMMMMM, DTS WAT SME PLCES PAY N SME DNT EVN PAY UP TO DAT....TOMJERRYSWIT
ReplyDeleteGodforbid! If u get a better job abroad then take it o! Cos d gud jobs with nice salaries r reserved for those with connections or bottom power!
ReplyDeleteWho sent you to pay millions for masters in the UK? If you don't like nigeria universities, don't complain about the money you spent there.
ReplyDeleteU ds uneducated fool. Abeg stop commenting if u can't read n understand. Hana

You obviously missed the point.....!!! :-)
DeleteI have a friend with master from UK is pay is 70k had to work becos of his family....its rill to bad for the our country.
ReplyDeleteThe man is a liar. You don't graduate from a university with distinction. Distinction is for polytechnics and UK don't have a poly.
ReplyDeleteMy guy they use distinction in the UK I have one
DeleteOlodo ni e..distinction is a Masters degree classification.
DeleteWell....UK universities, you graduate with either Distinction, merit or pass. So what he is saying is genuine. *stay Bless*
DeleteU are dumb Bryan. Did you see "Masters Degree" up there? I bet u have never crossed the shores of this country in ur life time. So pls stop advertising ur ignorance. Poly ko,yabatech ni. Idiat!
DeleteDumb fuck. He got his masters degree, not BSc.
DeleteMr Bryan, ur level of daftness/ illiteracy is appalling and very very very very worrisome!! Did u read the post at all? Distinction in Masters!!! Duh?! Find out facts b4 u come here to display ur pathetic ignorance "uk dont have a poly" indeed lmho!
DeleteYou're a grade A idiot! Say it with me G-r-a-d-e A I-D-I-O-T!
DeletePeople graduate with distinction from uk uni.
DeleteAre you sure you are alright? What does distinction mean? Look it up! Ode.
DeleteIgnoramus! Masters degree is graded as distinction, merit and so on. Learn to shush sometimes
DeleteLmao...don't be silly my friend..you should read more
DeleteDon't be silly please
DeleteDude ,it's a masters degree. Distinction is the highest honour .Do your research before your dumb criticism!
DeleteLolz, chair. Over sabi kill u 4 here Bryan.
DeleteHOL
Look at how you have embarrassed yourself Bryan
DeleteDid u say d UK dont have polytechnics & dont have distinctions for masters programmes?
DeleteDis is an example of who we call an arrogant dumbfuck.
Be quite if you don't know something. I schooled there and the writer is correct. They use distinction, merit and pass.
DeleteNot only dat bt sometimes u r under-employ. So pathetic
ReplyDeleteSeriously SMH...
ReplyDeleteThis is really true
But there are no jobs, and a distinction from Cambridge wouldn't make one company appear.
ReplyDeleteIf all those that looted our treasury dry were able to create jobs with the their loots, then you'll have well paid jobs.
Distinction doesn't build company.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Totally agree bonairo!!
DeleteI believe it takes the mercy and favor of GOD. It doesn't matter if you schooled at home or abroad; your deserved job is waiting for you somewhere, you just haven't located the place..and remember tht no matter how rough ur life is, there's someone you are better than.
ReplyDeleteHowever..GOD's time is the best; speaking from experience..and in his time, he makes everything beautiful.
soooooo true.can be very frustrating and demoralizing..
ReplyDeleteReading this confirms my solitude.
ReplyDeleteMy fiancee is an Accounting grad, works with a bank in Lagos, earns 65k/month.
I'm and engineer with Msc from Europe, working here earning 8x her sal after tax, with fortune 1000 coy.
Yet she's asking me to consider returning home, that I can get hired fast.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fast into 50k/month???? peanut???? Impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad I convinced her, cos I love her. ONLY COS OF LOVE!
i always look forward to experience that one can gain rather than the salary itself.
ReplyDeletehow ever ,it was your choice to go to the UK for studies. also make a choice on working there or not and be thankful for whatever decision you come up with. some people can barely pay for their WAEC fees. #begrateful
hr Consultant.
Well said my brother...I share in that kinda pain too...It hutrs!, If ur a gurl, its more difficult, sleeping ur way is almost the only bit except ur extremely lucky.I'm a 2'1 graduate and yet to find a concrete platform. It'll get better IJN.Amen
ReplyDeleteLol, But the guy is right, 50k for what jare... serzly if not for Yahoo yahoo do u kno how many gradute armedrobbers will be in Nigeria, they shuld just legalize Yahoo yahoo in naija cos its helping lots of people already!
ReplyDeleteLmaoooo I totally agree!!wether we accept it or not yahoo helped a lot of youths
DeleteIts very infuriating tho!!! The govt should increase minimum wage and make all private companies pay their workers according to what they earn annually!!!
ReplyDeleteSee ur high level of his stupidity, earning 50k and staying in a house of 800k. Mumu first class. U must crawl before u walk.
ReplyDeleteI am so depressed and frustrated.i just rounded up my NYSC in March and my friends are laughing at me say I never even dey house reach one year.Oya where is money to start up business?i worked so hard in school and I deserve more.God dey sha.
ReplyDeleteHow does this stop uniben protest
ReplyDeleteYou even got a 50k job.. What of people that didn't get any at all...
ReplyDeleteEyah! All hopes not lost, u can go start a bizness
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. Look if you graduate from the UK and you can get a job there you better just sit there and work. Unless you parents are well connected, nothing for you here. A graduates salary and lifestyle in the UK is 3 times that of a senior manager in this our Naija.
ReplyDeleteAnd Linda, I no wan imagin, ain't ma story...lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe Nigerians should consider studying in other countries if they must get a foreign degree where you can work afterwards. Stop enriching UK! They don't even give you the room to work in their country. US, Canada and Australia are obviously better.
ReplyDeleteHow much he wanted to collect before? #1million per month? Why not stop looking for job and join politics. He can get all he spend on school just in a month.lalastica this guy funny.
ReplyDeleteWhat university did he study at? Not all universities in the UK are equal. You cannot get a 1st from universities like Kent, East London, Coventry, Hertfordshire, Middlessex etc, and expect employers in Nigeria to roll out the red carpet for you? Employers in Nigeria know the UK pure water universities. If you're gonna spend your hard earned money studying in th the UK then avoid those universities that come to hustle for students in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteGet educated . Cov and Kent are in the top 15 unies.
DeleteYou are quite ignorant I must say, can you compare the standard of education in the UK to any university in Nigeria??? And for the fact the person earned a distinction do you even have an inkling of what it takes? The physical and psychological strain required? Please don't embarrass yourself making stupid a** comments and belittling his hard work. Let me even hear you say that a graduate with first class degree from even the worst university in Nigeria doesn't deserve a better paying job...C ' mon go and have several seats. Olodo, iti mpataka!
DeleteAlmost everyone today goes abroad to study. the Companies we have going in this country cant use that as a criteria. They just take it that academic qualification is all the same. So please is not a criteria. So people that cant afford to do there masters abroad should earn low?

ReplyDeleteOkay then,better hunger never strike if not you will manage the 50,000k as them give you.....@Bia Bia😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯
ReplyDeleteLmao! Fu**ed up piece of shirt! ! Ain't going back there...no fuc*ING way. Glad I came here when I did as it would have been a disaster.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pity....I'd rather stay in UK and accept any job offer than a pay cut salary from my country....
ReplyDeleteYou've not seen anything yet, you were lucky they offered 50k not even 20 or 25k...... God help us oh because B.Sc na o level result while M.Sc na B.Sc nau oOh.... Jor oh
ReplyDeleteI'm with him on this 100%. I left a banking job to get a master's degree abroad. It's been three years since I came back and I cannot get a job. I even hop buses. I don't have money for the cheapest second hand car.
ReplyDeleteIt does not even give my parents bragging rights. My mom is my only surviving parent and she considers me a failure and continually nags me to pay up debt's I've been unable to clear due to no regular income.
One of the worst decision I made in my life was leaving the country to UK for masters. It ruined my career path. Most of my mates are so solidly established that I cant even stand next to them. I'm just in God's hand's now waiting for a miracle. Sometimes I go to bed crying because of this huge mistake I made.
If you have a job here that pays 6 figures, please hold on to it. Foreign degrees are not worth it for almost 95% of the Nigerians who get it.
You sound like someone I know, u can also start from somewhere. May God put a smile on your face.
DeleteLol, I laughed in Spanish.. Welcome to Nigeria where you survive mainly on skills. It not by oyibo certificate it is by sabificate our youth need to look away from certificate and develop their skills.

ReplyDeleteKia this post just vexed me!. I am here in the Uk studying an Oil and gas masters degree too. Stressing my self to type 20,000 word essay just to pass while working limited hours to feed my self and pay rent.
The way my mum is shouting up and down come back to nigeria and find a Job! see me dreaming of a good job in nigeria with a good salary of around 100k/150k a month lol. . This post just woke me up from my dream msheewww. May God help us...
My cousin finished his masters from UK too, after months & months of looking for job, he had to settle for a 50K telecoms job.....
ReplyDeleteI have HND, my salary is over a 100k, a senior colleague an (HND) holder is on 500k monthly. naa by abroad certificate? what most company is after now is what you have to offer e.g job experience etc, Help cometh from above(Lord) not from abroad. sitdone there dey rant.
ReplyDeleteyou are on 50k salary staying in a house of 800k your mum is not helping u oh , you had better go to abuja outskirt to get an accommodation that befits your status when your rent expired.
May be you should write an article about this for people to read and understand since you really sinc with this situation. I don't get why people can't see beyond their noses. So many things comes to play in this scenario with different people. No matter what certificate you hold, you have to start from somewhere no matter the school and the grade except you have a godfather. Think of what you have to offer to the firm, your input, your experience before what they have to offer you. Put yourself in their shoes, if you have a firm, will you hire just because of certificate and school or let alone who is not ready to learn and only depends on his or her certificate. I use to teach, the pay was good but the most important thing was the experience I have, it's wonderful! In this same place, the caregivers are well paid too , they even go abroad for vacation, these are the caregivers not the teachers. Though the job is not secured but they started from somewhere and have learnt a lot which will help them as they move on. Speaking of abroad, UK is the easiest country to live and study, the rest have language barriers that will keep you in standstill position no matter how hard you try. Coming to North America ,to get a very good job is hard. It's no longer the old saying of you must know somebody, somebody must know you too and be ready to identify with you. With your Bsc, Msc you'll still end up doing the odd job and spinning around the table. Please people, pray and ask God for wisdom to live your life. If you have a good paying job, why leave it and go for masters abroad? Enroll in the closest school, keep working, keep making money and keep going to school. Even Obama and his wife just finished paying off their school loan, I mean while in office as the president. It's a competitive world, you have to bring something different to the table. Don't make excuse for yourself by blaming the bad government, do your best.
DeleteGod bless you .You enter class
DeleteEyaaa...sh*t happens
ReplyDeleteHe is very correct graduated with a 2.1, I have done professional exams, just finished my MBA at lagos business school and I'm being offered jobs of 100k. Nigeria really is just messed up
ReplyDeleteSo true. WORD ABEG
ReplyDeleteSo true. WORD ABEG
ReplyDeleteI will never advise anyone to study in England. England is good for fun and holidays. But if you want to study and live a real life,come to Canada because you will have 2 to 3 yrs work permit and a good job awaits you with those qualification stated above. U can even be lucky enough to have a residency here after you work for a yr. God bless Canada.
ReplyDeleteSo true. WORD ABEG
ReplyDeleteReally sad
ReplyDeleteNigerians should please not be swayed by the foreign graduation photos of all the kids of our government officials who looted this country to a halt.
ReplyDeleteConsider going abroad for school as an investment from which you expect a return.
At this point in time, it is no longer profitable for the average Nigerian to school abroad particularly UK.
Left for me, all UK institutions should be banned from coming to Nigeria to promote their degrees. They'll rob you of hard earned money and kick you out of their country when you are done.
Even obtaining basic visiting visa will be a problem afterwards. I am an example.
Mehn its hard everywhere o, both foreign masters or local BSc.
ReplyDeleteThis situation is a case of they offer, and its up to you to accept, you dont force anybody to pay you what he cannot afford. Also you are not entitled to anything (not even a fat salary or a stipend) from anybody because you have an education.
This world is survival of the fittest oh.
For your landlord, switch off ya phone, trust me he cant throw away ur load without a court order.
LOL, he is not a smart guy. stop complaining Linda did not wait for the govt to provide job, she started and look at where she is today. I started 10 yrs ago with N20k now i charge $60 per hour for IT support service. so stop all this UK stuff some of them a just not worth it my brother. its a pity but not every body is meant for paid job. every thing big start small. we have a problem in this country every body want to make it big.
ReplyDeleteThank God you said you mum paid, then whta have you? if you are not going to start somewhere then wait make house rent finish. then you will know half bread is better than chi-chi.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for speaking my mind. Its just crazy. Some of us were raised and brought up to
ReplyDeletebe qualified for a good job. We cannot all be entepreneurs.
Speckles,
ReplyDeleteI no fit laff abeg. God go help us all for dis we country. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteSo right about it all. Things will change when we (including our leaders) all try to be more selfless and less selfish.
ReplyDeleteOk they expected 1 million naira because they studied outside the country. As if no be the same they pay those with the same degree here. This is pomposity and stupid ego. Go and eat your certificate
ReplyDeleteCalm down now.....dont sound pained. The guy is only tryin to emphasize on d alarming rate of unemployment n underemployment....n just tryin to say that even for those goin to well equipped unis.....hmm it only takes God....he never said schoolin abroad guarantees u a one million naira pay
DeleteHe should even thank God cos so many graduates in Nigeria uni n poly are looking for job less than or equal the 50k....this country is so F**ked
ReplyDeleteNtooooorrr. They be rushing abroad to study to be better than the Nigerian schooled.. Oh his mother can afford 800k for a house? He shd move to PH/delta and hustle for oil/gas job..spoilt brat
ReplyDeleteThat was what one of the banks in Nigeria here did to me, though their was N60K and i turned it down and decided to be elf employed instead of insults
ReplyDeleteWHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS NO HOP... CLICK
This really bad,Nigeria is really messed.

ReplyDeleteHonestly, I appreciate the way you narrated the story, you brought humour into the sad reality.You will make a good script writer or blogger.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad....smh! Nigeria is very far from development! Thats why most of our brothers and sisters abroad has refused to return, they rather be homeless there than come back to this country.....my brother there are jobs.....but only for them who know someone,they are reserving the opportunity for their grand children in Nursery school.......so sad
ReplyDeleteSTFU
ReplyDeleteI have a BSc from Babcock. Thats my only degree
I had no mama or papa to send me for MSC....infact I paid my last babcock tuition by myself
Today I employ 4 unilag graduates
I make over N1 million a month....
I am an entrepreneur
Pls pray to God to give you vision instead of DMing babes up and down and looking for nudes
You can even start pimping business...too much opportunity in this country
BTW: I am not in pimping business but some of these hookups cost too much, they need more competitors to force their prices down
No one should accept that! 50k for masters?
ReplyDeleteOKORO UPGRADED**
Hmmmm! i thank GOD someone like you can feel the heat of the reality that has bedeviled our Nigerian economy, i truly concur with this visible and vivid reality of our dear country... to be honest with you i have not gotten the opportunity to study abroad, i studied here and graduated with second class upper division in one of "Prestigious" university here in Nigeria so they call it to console our mystery and compound our dream on citadel. i currently work in a firm where i earn that 50k. Bros at first i want to sit at home but when the harsh reality took toll on me when i cant afford to buy BATHING SOAP, when i cant feed myself one meal a day... when family members disappoints like NEPA, I have no option than to take the job and stay ALIVE and SURVIVE. In the midst of all these a lady am dating expect me to PROPOSE to her and take our relationship serious... tell me how? She'll go telling her friends how men are wicked and unserious. tell me how can a legible bachelor be serious in the midst of all these life drama

ReplyDeleteThe story gets worse, am chartered accountant with no job for years, the least I can do for myself is to work as an intern. Becos most companies reject me cos I don't have experience, how do I get experience if am not given the opportunity to work somewhere. It's so sad.
ReplyDeleteYou have indeed spoken well.....
ReplyDeletethe situation is really pathetic, sometimes sef you might even be the one doing the biggest chunk of the job, all them big ogas and heads knows nothing. you do the job, they take the glory. like i always say to any of them if am opportuned in a jokinly way is "do some professional course that is recent. some of them did their studies in the 80s/90s or earlier, there are new ideas and innovations everyday.
ReplyDeleteWell thats the situation we find ourselves in. SMH for my country. Quite a pity!
ReplyDeleteHe has no job experience. If you must relocate, get some experience under your belt then you can command some real money
ReplyDeleteBitter. Truth
ReplyDeleteBitter. Truth
ReplyDeleteIf money is your main reason for getting a degree, then your value system is faulty. If all you go abroad for is to come back home to get money,then you should have engaged in spare parts selling! You get a degree so you can be useful to yourself and the society,so you can think outside the box and create wealth. However, it will take a lot of sacrifice. So wake up friend and market yourself well. I think your situation will force you to think now. Also, relocate to an environment with affordable rent! Reality!!!
ReplyDeleteHa Abuja no be beans!
ReplyDeleteThat's the sad reality for a lot of people. Nigeria is a really messed up country. Glad I left years ago!
ReplyDeleteMasters with no work experience lands you a 50k a month job, that is what you lot don't know.
ReplyDeleteThat is the new trend...work load n pay less 'exploitation'
DeleteU better go back to ur abroad for job. Forming as if u don't know what's up in ur country. Why did u go to abroad to study in the first place if the country was ok. Pls park well. U ar even paid upto 50k. If I tel u my salary u will weep then.
ReplyDeletetoo bad.........But dats Naija for us.......
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile...some re still in school...but already have space in big firms nd oil company.....
Moye says so via BB Passport courtesy LIB....
@50k salary can berely keep you going for a week..those that earn 15 nko..sad reality
ReplyDeleteI need to give you a hug and an allowance for such an articulate observation! I'm indeed impressed that we all aren't robbers and depressed!!! God save Nigeria!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately some people are still under the illusion that foreign certificates are magic wands for a lucrative job opportunity. What they fail to understand is that there are so many people out there with that same foreign certificates that work around with. They also fail to realize that acquisition of foreign certificate without good networking, connection or "long leg" that can land them a good paying job after acquiring these certificates with millions of naira is like buying a very costly SUV without plans on how to come about the money to fuel it. Spending millions of naira just to acquire foreign certificates is becoming a wrong investment to some people. It's quite pathetic.
DeleteHe has to start from somewhere, get the work experience and use that qualification to get a better paying job. A degree means nothing. This is just the rant of a lazy person, feeling entitled and thinking things should be handed to him just because he has a degree. He is also prove that having a masters does not equal intelligence.
DeleteI forgot to add that if you don't like your job offers here, go back to the UK and get job na, Nigeria is not for lazy people abeg.
DeleteMakes me wonder d fate of pple who studied in Nigeria... Guess dey wil work 4 free
ReplyDeletePREACH!, I'm a hons graduate of accontancy from Madonna university and with a master's degree from uni of Bradford. i got job offers of 40k & 50k but the sufferings my folks passed through to get through school as their only hope wont let me take them, i felt i had what takes for bigger purpose .. but after a year I'm now working in diamond bank earning 60k and being considered as employed and lucky
ReplyDeleteInsult
ReplyDeleteFood for thoughts. I agree with him not all of us want to be entrepreneurs. Some want to contribute to the economy by working with already established firms. But with 40k 50k salary range its upsetting, its very painful. Something needs to be done, there is a minimum wage do these companies follow it.

This is not news I also have a master's degree in oil and gas and my first job salary was 65k which I no even see as I was being owed salary for months
ReplyDeleteI believe in starting somewhere because even tho you r in a shifty job you can gain experience and use to get a better job somewhere else. That's much more better than being idle at home I'm grateful to God dat I later got anoda job with 200k+ and then anoda with 300k+ with other benefits
I keeps getting better just have a lil faith
I hope this helps someone
That's just settling. If you truly know you deserve better and can do better you won't settle. But I'll advice don't go down this route if you are not resilient and driven. Some people are made to work for people or organizations while some people are meant to BE the organization and employers. The question herein is 'which one are you' ?
DeleteI have a Masters Degree in Oil and Gas from Aberdeen,UK too since 2012. Been jobless since I got back to Nigeria. It's been tough, it's been hard. If u can link me up to get a job too...Will greatly appreciate. You have no idea how tough it has been.
DeleteI know a nigga doing that course in same school, I just pity for him...he left his good job to go and do masters and he is forming for everyone. We have all been to UK to study, there is nothing there
DeleteThis tweet is so funny. lol. I have a friend who came back from UK with MSC pali. She got Job with a school that offered her 25k per month. I cried because of the loan her mother used on her. Still cryinnnnnnnnnnnnng.
ReplyDeleteHonestly...that's the true reality. If most parents had the money, they would send their kids abroad to school and even work there.
ReplyDelete"the sad reality my brother' so sad, very sad! @ start from somewhere.

Oriegwu! Stay there and be waiting for a UK certificate worthy job till you grow grey hair.

ReplyDeleteUNILAG POST UTME 2015/2016
ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
kindly help investigate re the above issue as i just a got a call from my daughter informing me that she has been advised to stop attending tutorial lessons in preparation for her Unilag Post utme. According to her, she was told that students who did not make 250 scores and above at JAMB should not bother to write the Unilag Post utme when the form is out as JAMB has sent out a list of candidates who scored 250 scores and above to Unilag for consideration.
Please could you help confirm the validity of this information. My daughter scored 228and Unilag is her only choice. The fact that students are only allowed to apply to only one university makes the situation really frustrating.
My brother I feel your pains. Sometimes I ask myself what we really did to deserve a nation like this.
ReplyDeleteWith that you could be making nothing less than $6500.00 USD, monthly with housing and transportation allowance inclusive in U.A.E ... Gate man with zero qualification dey collect 200k ... I PRAY for Nigeria .. Amen ..
ReplyDeleteLiiar, it's people like you that deceive people. Show me the gateman in that takes 5,000 Aed ( 200,000 Naira) as you stated. Note I am also in UAE and I work in the oil and gas sector. you stated. Note I am also in UAE and I work in the oil and gas sector.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to Nigeria son!
ReplyDeleteThat Nigeria for u. But u have to start from somewhere and have faith in God.
ReplyDeleteWhat's d fowl cry for? Why him no go look 4 job whr him studied? Mtchwwwww!
ReplyDeleteIt some how, after this huge amount of tuition fee...Hmmm my brother this is naija u better start from somewhere bcos u wil get frustrated sitting down doing Nofin. I wish I had that kind of moni to start up a business
ReplyDeleteJust because you are a graduate doesn't mean you will get a good job or even that you should be entitled to one!! I hope a PhD and earn £27000 per annum- far below what I would expect but what choice have I got???? A job is a job if it can allow me to live within my standard and take care of my little one at the same time
ReplyDeleteA foreign degree SHOULD NOT give you a better paying job than your mates at home. Let us all stop this mentality. I work abroad, but when I move home I know my salary might not match up to what I am receiving here.
ReplyDeleteBryan Ayogu said...@July 21, 2015 at 12:00 PM- why call someone a liar??? You have done nothing but displayed your blatant ignorance- distinction is the highest mark awarded in a master's degree in the UK
ReplyDeleteYou should be ashamed of yourself to gather that huge degree and you are looking for a job. First, if you are waiting for me to post job vacancy before you apply, you will get peanut as salary. If you proof to me that you are useful to my business and give me a proposal, i will consider you as an instrument and pay you huge. Finally why must you get that degree and still for employment? Why not start a consulting firm? If you are any one in the category of this paranoid guy, i say shame on you. You should have used that money to learn a trade or acquire a skill. You forgot that education is a life investment and not necessarily to get a job. @amfestus
ReplyDeleteSee him head like person when chop witch...soo people when finish from the more difficult university at home na him go collect the 50k abi??? Oloshi!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy r u bitter? If it was u ur parents wanted to go abroad wont u go......anyway whether u wld hav gone or not...dats ur choice....d guy is only tryin to emphasize on d rate of underemployment....he is not sayin studying in uk makes d guy better
DeleteThe problem with Nigerian youths is that we are all waiting on d govt To do something for us and not what we can do for our country. As long as ur father did not build any company for u then u need to build one for ur self and ur children! If we can all be observant we will find out that the so called good jobs belong to just Abt 20% of graduates and these 20% are people who are connected. So it's a wake up call for everyone and I will also remind us that the Education system has Expired since 1979, this is d era companies beg people to work for them, they offer Cars,houses etc to graduates, but now u have to pray,fast,go to mountain,bribe and do all sorts of things to get that job. Now we are in the 21st Century, what's the in thing? I recommend a book by Robert T kiyosaki, "THE BUSINESS OF THE 21st CENTURY" then email me amakxy4u@gmail.com to explain Further. See you all on Top.
ReplyDeleteYou should start from somewhere.Better than staying at home.
ReplyDeleteThey say; he who wears the shoe, knows where it hurts the most. I have gone through all the comments and all I can say is everyone calling him ungrateful is either myopic or jealous because they can't afford a foreign degree. THE TRUTH IS THE STATE OF THINGS IN THE COUNTRY IS VERY BAD! WE NEED A CHANGE AND WE NEED IT FAST! Why should a graduate in a country such as Nigeria (The giant of Africa) be earning such a meagre salary? I weep for Nigeria! Travel out and see things for yourselves. A graduate with zero experience earns way more. We are still living in medieval times and its a shame! The entire Nigerian economy needs DIVINE CLEANSING! Nuff said!
ReplyDeleteAnd to Ignorant Mr Bryan Ayogu, you can graduate with Distinction in a UK Masters Degree. Next time, get your facts right!
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET ANNOYED WITH LIFE, DO NOT GO TO STUDY IN UK EXCEPT YOUR PARENT IS AMONG THOSE THAT THINK THEY OWN NIGERIA. FIND A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN WORK AFTER SCHOOLING
ReplyDeleteI laugh laugh laugh tire. Chai Nigeria. They will even offer a graduate 35 k per month. Witch craft.
ReplyDeleteNigerians, it is all this your 'let us manage it' spirit that has gotten us to where we are today. They keep feeding you shit and you keep eating without complaining. That is why we never progress in this country. Too backward! Ordinary Ghana can protest unstable power supply. We would keep managing, NONSENSE! WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER PEOPLE!

Sucess in life doesnt come by winning visa lottery or foreign certificate, youth should understand is not about where you get your certificate that matters but what you can do....u have to be creative and stop nagging about UK certificate that wont take u anywhere in life....Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari didnt get havard certififate to become president and Davido, D'banj, Psquare or even Linda Ikeji didnt go Toronto to be successful in life. U better wake up from ur slumber and do someting meaningful with ur life....d same amount you spent on ur masters will bring in container from China and U'll become an employer and not employee #food4thought

ReplyDelete...Oh please, having a first class doesn't guarantee a good paying job especially if you got admission on clearance.
ReplyDeleteNobody says you should leave a a better job in the UK or US or wherever and come back to Nigeria after your graduate or masters degree. I'm sure this guy didn't get a job there, that's why he came back to Naija. A foreign degree doesn't guarantee you a high placed job in Nigeria so go and take a seat.
ReplyDeleteMy brother schooled abroad and also did his masters abroad, I'm sorry guys, his salary is 15k! So 50k is even a good deal, he sees it as volunteering for now,
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened to me. All Shit. Sometimes u will feel like regretting, anyway brace up yourself . Hussle continues.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, but I still believe in coming home to build. It has to start somewhere so the next generation does not inherit this mess. Somebody has to feel the pain to make it better for all in the long run. It is discouraging to think all the effort you put into getting an education and nothing to show for it yet, hold on and keep pushing forward. Graduates are having problems securing good jobs in EVERY country, it's only those who went into IT and tech who seem to be doing good. No, you may not want to do a business, but you will have to do something because with the current global climate nobody can depend on one stream of income anymore, it is better to have a few income streams. You could easily start a blog chronicling your attempt at finding employment, instead of giving Twitter free hits, you would get those hits on your own blog and it would translate to money, same thing with You Tube. You have to start somewhere. Life made you no promises when you were born, life made no promise to any of us, we just have to deal with our different situations in this world.
ReplyDeleteTimes are hard but at the end its God's favour that counts. I have a Bsc from a state uni in Nigeria and I earn approx 1M naira after tax (ex other benefits) on a mthly basis working for a multinational..l'd say its the grace of God only that landed me this job
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised at all. I studied in the UK and graduated 2008. So excited to have finshed a Masters degree in Strategic Information Technology Management with a good grade not distinction though, I came back to Nigeria to look for job. My people, after searching for jobs and sending series of applications for over 8months the only interview and offer I got was 80K/month and I had to work 11hrs/day. Saturday included. I turned down the offer right there and then and gave up on my country. I took my docs and moved to Canada 4 months after and my story changed for good. It's so sad paying that much on education and after you get peanuts. Nigerians employeers even discriminate in their own country against fellow Nigerians. So sad our governement needs to act fast.
ReplyDeleteThe way out is to become so good at whatever you do so that it becomes extremely hard to ignore you. The road to success is always rocky.
ReplyDeleteMay God have mercy on Nigeria....
ReplyDelete50K can barely keep u going for a week? Rich pple dey dis country...
ReplyDeleteOr am I THAT impoverished?
l share you're sentiment. Firstly, I think its easier to get a first-class result in the UK if you put your back into it compared to the system in Nigeria. Know this cause I studied there and served in a poly in Nigeria. I share the similar working experience with any other person that studied at home. I've returned for post grad now doing an extra job in a country that threatens to end part time work for students. I am still aiming for a distinction but my experience has led me to believe that the system is not eager to create an environment that accommodates brilliance; Not from home nor abroad. The light is, 'There is God, O!"
ReplyDeletei and 2 friends left for masters back in sept 2011, graduated in 2013, i decided to do an MBA as well and stayed back, my 2 friends who came back in 2013 looked and hustled for a job, one gave up and entered computer village, (due to his exposure i guess, he is doing quite well) the other one was still home when i came back in dec 2014.
ReplyDeletei guess i am the lucky few who got a good job in less than a month after i came back.
when my brother wanted to travel, i told him ex England and go to Canada. and that is what i am advising all you younger folks looking to go abroad for your Masters.
Too bad. God help Nigeria.
