Getting a job in Nigeria is a tasking step for many people especially for the less privileged who have no connections in places where graduates can get good white collar jobs. The Nigerian government has not been able to find a solution to lack of employment in the country.
A lot of Nigerians express that there are jobs but some of the employers of these vacancies at times require too much from applicants while others refuse to pay enough to employees.
Everyone is complaining about lack of jobs and students graduate to serve every year. How are Nigerians surviving if there are more graduates entering the labour market every year? NAIJ.com took to Facebook to ask Nigerians what they did after National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
A NAIJ.com reader identified as Frank Obi Chukwuma who came across the question on NAIJ Facebook page stated that his life did not turn out as he expected after service. The man explained that he had to stay at home for three years before he found a job.

He explained that he had gone to live with his elder brother who he hoped would help him find a job but he later discovered that depending on someone was a mistake. He stated that even though he submitted applications to various organisation he was not lucky enough to get a job.
Chukwuma said: “It was terrible, I really learnt how to write different foams of formal letter Just to impress employers, and @ the end nothing to show for it. I actually stayed in my elder brother's house for good three years believing that one day he will get me a job in Shell wish happens to be the greatest mistake I ever made. But to the glory of God, those were all history...I advise all Corp Member not to believe in anyone except yourself cos this country called Nigeria doesn't think about you nor anyone."
