Life can be more meaningful when we think about the problems eroding our society.
The problems we are facing today are in existence because nobody thought of solving these problems years ago.
When we solve today's problem, we make life beautiful for those who are yet unborn.
GENERATIONS TO COME WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR IMPACT BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE WRITTEN YOUR NAME IN THEIR HEARTS.

BEAUTIFY NIGERIA SOCIAL ISSUES: BETWEEN ACADEMIC FIELDS AND SKILLS - A MUST READ
Dear Applicant: Thank you for your letter inquiring
about positions in our economics department. At this time, we have no
openings. However, I will keep your letter on file should an appropriate
job become available. At least, that's what I am required to tell you.
But here's what I'd really like to say to you - and to every recent
economics graduate who sends me the same letter. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com
First, I know it's lousy for bachelor of arts graduates looking for a job "in their field." Twenty years ago, it was lousy for me too. It's almost always lousy. In a way, it's kind of supposed to be - a small rite of passage to welcome you into the working world. It's sort of like being froshed.
But if I may, I would like to offer some advice.
Don't be too fixated on landing a job "in your field." The truth is, you don't yet have a field. In university, you majored in economics, but that may or may not be your eventual field of professional work. The world is full of possibilities; limiting your search to an economist job is a terribly narrow way to start out.
You chose to study economics, which doesn't necessarily imply that you'll be an economist. Rather, it implies you have an aptitude for problem solving. You're probably good at analyzing data. You can see different sides of an argument. And I'll bet you're excellent at finding solutions to problems. These are essential skills required in hundreds of rewarding (and lucrative) fields of professional employment. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com
Your ultimate field may actually be in sales for a biotech firm. It may be analyzing crime statistics for the city police. It may even be a rock star (just ask Mick Jagger). The world is full of "fields."
What you're facing is a common problem: BA graduates confuse their major area of study with what they expect to be their eventual careers. It doesn't matter if it's a degree in history, film studies, sociology, or comparative feminist literature.
You've successfully navigated your way through a four-year degree. Congratulations! That is no small accomplishment. But now you're embarking on a totally different program of learning - one that will last the rest of your life. It's called "What am I here for?"
That may sound all spiritual and existential, but don't let it throw you off. It just means that your challenge from here on is to find what you're good at, and keep getting better and better at it.
An apology, by the way, on behalf of society: We are sorry if we led you to believe that attending university would land you a good job. That's not actually true. A polytechnic college will do this - and the job opportunities available right now are fantastic. A good option for you might be to continue post-university studies at a polytechnic.
But your university education, at least at the bachelor of arts level, was never intended to land you a job. It was intended to make you a more complete thinker. It was intended to teach you how to absorb complex information and make reasoned arguments. It was, quite simply, intended to teach you how to learn. Those are skills that you'll use in any field of work. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com
Open your mind to all sorts of job possibilities. Don't be too proud to start out in the service industry, or where you might get your fingernails dirty. Talk to as many people as you can about their career paths. But never, ever, allow yourself to think you've wasted your time in university if you don't land a job as an economist.
Meanwhile, be encouraged and stay positive. And yes, I will keep your letter on file. But my guess is that when a position in my economics group eventually opens up, you'll no longer be available.

BEAUTIFY NIGERIA SOCIAL ISSUES: FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
At what age should a child be taught financial independence?
In this part of the world, some University graduates still depend on their parents to cater for their needs.
Should we blame it on the economy or our negligence?
In some western countries, children are made to do home chores and they are paid or rewarded by their parents for doing these chores. Sometimes when the child requests for a toy, he/she would buy from the savings made from doing their home chores. These children are taught to take responsibility at a very young age. This is not to say that their parents do not cater for their needs.
Financial independence makes people desire to know their purpose and innate talent. It makes people have a burning desire for fulfillment.
If the environment does not provide all we need, we can come up with mind blowing ideas to solve the problems we have always complained about.
If you find yourself relentlessly complaining about something, it's because you know a better way of doing it, you might be the solution to that problem.
QUIT COMPLAINING!
