WHY GRADUATES SHOULD CONSIDER SELF EMPLOYMENT…

Are you an unemployed graduate and waiting for governments jobs? Then you need to read this to the end - don’t skip a single line.
Self employment refers to being one’s own employer; being your own boss rather than relying on someone else to employ you to work for him/her in his/her own business. It will be right to say that Nigeria currently has a terrible unemployment situation in need of solution. There are hundreds of thousands of young graduate in the country who are either under employed or completely unemployed. On top of this, higher institutions of learning churn out graduates into the labour market every year. The sad thing here is that the system of education in Nigeria places less emphasis on self employment but more on preparing graduates for jobs which are not readily available.


Those lucky enough to have a job also have their own problem to deal with. Many have to make do with meagre salaries. It is also very common to hear of workers being own salaries for several months by employers including government organizations. Those working in private non unionized establishments are often reluctant to protest for better treatment for fear of being given sack letters which is the order of the day by private organizations.
Tozali Crew as usual was out to sample some opinions on this issue.





Graduates should consider self-employment to be self-reliant and be able to fend for themselves before a job comes. Being self employed gives one room to grow in diverse ways, learn different skills and put it in use. Even though the economy is not too viable to support the self employed, the self employed in turn grows the economy because of tax payment and even employing other people, that is job creation. When you are self employed, it reduces the burden on government to give out jobs that is not even available in the first place. It also reduces the chances of going into crime, once the mind and hands are engaged in positive things, and then the devils workshop won’t come into place because the mind is not idle.

IN WHICH WAY DO YOU THINK WE CAN HANDLE UNEMPLOYMENT?

Unemployment is enforced idleness of people who are able and willing to work but cannot find jobs. In societies in which most people can earn a living only by working for government or companies, like Nigeria, being unable to find a job is a serious problem. Those lucky enough to find jobs are poorly paid. Many have to make do with meagre salaries which cannot take care of their bills. It is also very common in Nigeria to hear of workers being owed salaries for several months by employers. Tozali crew went to town to sample opinions on the way forward in the face of mass graduate unemployment.
Below are the responses:


Emmanuel Ameh:

It was a serious mistake on the part of our parents to have believed that western education was the only means to earn a living. It worked during the colonial era, and afterwards, but today it is an obvious fact that you cannot get employment anywhere, except if you are connected with those in high positions and in power. How can a graduate have hope in a corrupt system of employment where your field of studies or qualification is not considered before employment? It is only in Nigeria that you see a barrister being head of ministry of petroleum and stuff like that. Our great grand parents and grandparents are still holding the highest position in government instead of retiring and replacing the vacant space with young graduates. How can graduates have hope in a country where trillions are stolen, yet no viable companies or industries to create employments? Yet every year the population of unemployed youths keeps increasing by tens of thousands. Even with your master degree you are still expected to have a five years working experience before being considered for employment. What a waste of time and huge amount of resources!
From the mental point of view, the only people managing to survive currently on at least #1000 per day are those who are self employed. To all the unemployed graduates out there, please stop wasting your time waiting for government jobs, empower yourselves today and be useful to your generation.


AISHA SANI:

I think graduates should consider self-employment because of the high rate of unemployment in the country. The satisfaction of being your own boss and not depending on salary is very rewarding. Also, you get to do what you have a passion for and what you enjoy doing with little capital. Being self-employed, apart from the job satisfaction, and being one’s own boss, it also helps to reduce the alarming rate of unemployment in the society. Graduates, before yearning for white collar jobs, should consider being self employed, as it helps to channel their God-given ability and skills to help repair the damaged economy. It is quite relevant for able hands to be able to make money and also get to enjoy what they do with little or no restrictions as to their capabilities. It is encouraging to note that being self employed not only put food on your table, it also helps one to add to the development of the nation.


Ahmed Sentyx:

Graduates should consider self employment because the Nigeria governments do not care about them anymore, and also there are no new industries and organizations that will employ fresh graduate. Secondly, self employment is very good because as an individual you will no longer depend on monthly salary and the government anymore. You will be your own boss and government of your own; people will start coming to you to seek advice and consultancy. Mind you, Government jobs are no longer stable as they use to be before and they are not even available. Self employment can raise you high as your time, talent and efforts will allow you to go. It offers you a greater career mobility and opportunity than most jobs do. Private organizations on the other hand will use your talent and ability and still, they will make you feel like you are not useful or important to their organization after using you like a slave.
My advice to graduate out there and even to those already working is to try and engage themselves in some manual jobs, or they should learn a trade that will fetch them cool money instead of depending on government and private firms for stipend they call salary at the end of the month.


Bukola Audu:

Graduates should consider self-employment to be self-reliant and be able to fend for themselves before a job comes. Being self-employed gives one room to grow in diverse ways, learn different skills and put it in use. Even though the economy is not too viable to support the self-employed, the self-employed in turn grows the economy because of tax payment and even employing other people, that is job creation. When you are self-employed, it reduces the burden on government to give out jobs that is not even available in the first place. It also reduces the chances of going into crime; once the mind and hands are engaged in positive things, then the devil won’t have a workshop because the mind is not idle.

Getting to know your child’s friends.

Children appear to be the most important elements that not just complete the happiness of a family, but having them comes with the feeling of fulfilment. Having a child is a vehement blessing from God. It is no longer news to hear or see parents who are yet to have an issue visiting one Ifa, Mallam, Priest, Pastor; crossing boundaries and space, and clearing obstacles all in an attempt to bear a child or children.
Giving birth is one  thing,  child upbringing is yet entirely another different thing. Of course, there might be the feeling of being a responsible parent amongst parents who provide food and shelter to the child. But paying school fees, buying new clothes and providing other Secondary needs might not just be enough to fill the vacuum in parenting.

 The complexity of child upbringing becomes more difficult and delicate when the Child begins to establish a relationship outside the home. Child upbringing reaches as far as being concerned about the relationship and the company a child keeps outside the home. It is inevitable that right from early school days and neighbourhood, the child would begin to align with friends or peers who may come from different backgrounds, with different orientations about life, beliefs and values.      

Sociologically, peer groups are classified as one or the most effective  agents of socialization that cannot be de-emphasized and neither can it be over emphasized. Peers have the power of shaping and moulding a child into whatever form, be it acceptable or not. As illustration, a popular adage holds that "bad company corrupts good manners". There is a sense in saying that the mode of dressing, manner of speaking, hair cut etc that we see as a contemporary part of us today may not be unconnected with what children see, learn and internalize among their peers. This has undoubtedly catapulted and brought to limelight, the fact that parents should know their child's friends. 

Frederick Douglas once said that it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken home. Building strong children is not just the mountain of food we channel to the tunnel of their tommy nor just the body of water we connect to the tubes of their throats to quench their thirsts. It is more. It is far beyond that. In fact,  it includes watching, building and investing in their character and being concerned and dedicatedto the relationship they build outside the home. 

Familiarising with the friends of your child is an important step to knowing your child. Once you know them plus knowing their homes, the school they attend and their academic prowess, it becomes a key for deciding approval and if otherwise, it becomes a royal path to diplomatically disapproving such friendly established relationship.

  For a parent who wants to know his/ her child's friends, it is advisable to know what the child and the friends do together especially when they are out of home. Children might display disciplined behaviour within the eyes of the parents which is a good thing. But what if the reverse is the case? Where is their hang out? What do they used to do? Why do they enjoy such sport? etc. These are questions begging to be asked by parents who are concerned about the well being of their children. These are things that matter in parenting. These should pose some dose of worry in the hearts of parents. They are also advised to tactically see and hear what the friends are doing.   It is as well important to know who the parents of the child's friends are. This is not simply referring to their home address or their names, it rises to knowing as much as possibly about them and how closely their values and parenting style align with or differs from your own. This can be extended by becoming 

friends with the parents of your child's friends.  

 Equally of importance is trying to know a bit about the behavior of the child's friends: morality, discipline, respect for authority and adults, communal rules among others. It may appear difficult separating all children from one form of indiscipline or the other. But then an eagle eye can be casted upon, to knowing more of the attitude of your child's friends. This becomes an area for concern because among children, there is the probable likeliness of kowtowing and copying without questioning, most behaviors the peers execute. If a child's friends constantly push back against authority and look for ways to beat the rules, one's child is likely to do the same.   Children are a source of pride, happiness and love. Sometimes they even hold on a near broken home, courtesy of their importance. This therefore means that it is quite imperative to take measures against what or who would mar them and strengthen what or who would make them. It has thus, become the responsibility of parents to know who the    friends of his or her child are.

THE BITTERSWEET LIFE OF FUNMILAYO RANSOME KUTI

Many stories have been told about the supposed cause of death of Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti but all reflect a tragic end of a woman who lived for justice, survival and peace till her dying breath. They say she fell into coma for days before rejoining her creator, some others claim she laid in bed on the corridors of a hospital, fighting for her heart to beat actively again. In reality, her heart did beat actively for 78 years. Years in which she brought hell to those who opposed the stance and strength of that which she was created as and those of members alike. A feminist, political leader, women's right advocate and as rightly described, Lioness of Lisabi and Mother of Africa. We take you back in history to the painful end of Funmilayo. Born Frances Abigail Olufunmilayo Thomas on October 25, 1900 to Daniel Olumeyuwa Thomas and Lucretia Phyllis Omoyeni Adeosolu was the matriarch whose life reflected the solid definition of feminism.

Frances began her formative years as the first female student at Abeokuta Grammar School, where she studied from 1914 to 1917. She moved on to be a teacher at the same school before traveling to England to study from 1919 to 1923, it was during her stay in England she became Funmilayo, deserting her other names. Two years after her program in England, after her return to Nigeria, she married a clergyman and teacher, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome Kuti on January 20, 1925. As Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, her destiny became instantly activated.

Funmilayo as her name implies; "give me joy" geared up to fight for the rights of women, consciously living for moments she ignited passion and purpose in the lives of the "skirt-wearers" in the Nigerian society, especially those in Egba. It pushed her to organise the Abeokuta Ladies Club, a strong movement birthed in 1932 made up of mostly, western-educated christian women. In no time, it expanded to accommodate more women, including market women, illiterates and all who had suffered from the abject effects of colonial authority. Between 1935 and 36, Kuti made history as the first woman to ride a bike and drive a car. By 1946, her created club became Abeokuta Women's Club (AWU), open to all females residing in state capital of Ogun. As the president of AWU, she led the rally against the so-called corrupt leadership of the then Alake of Egbaland who had been kept in charge of collection of taxes by the colonial suzerain. Funmilayo was outraged by the ill-treatment of female merchants in Abeokuta who were forced to pay obscene taxes and had the money demanded from them in them most dehumanising ways. The agitation led by her, supported by hundreds of women lasted four years which in the end, resulted to the resignation of the Alake who was proven corrupt and unfit for the office in which affairs he ran. Having the Alake abdicated was however not all the AWU and its leadership were known for, they marched on fighting for greater educational opportunities for women and girls, the enforcement of sanitary regulations, and the provision of health care and other social services for women. Funmilayo was not only the mother of modern Africa women's resistance in the roaring twenties, she was a proud mother of four, namely; Fela Kuti, Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, Beko Ransome-Kuti and Dolupo Ransome-Kuti. Of which Fela moved on to become a pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, a human rights activist, and a bold political maverick.

As a musician, Fela's songs were outlined to combat the social issues prevailing in the Nigerian society in the 1970s and thus, didn't sit well with the governance of the country. All the opposition didn't faze him however, he went on to create Kalakuta republic as well as adopting the name Anikulapo, meaning "death exists in my pocket." Residing in Kalakuta was also Funmilayo who with her son, ditched the "Ransome" name as it originated from slavery. For years the republic stood as a force, running under its own terms, separate from the ideals of the government.

That bold act of rebellion in the face of the then ruling party created an excuse for frequent visits from military men. In retaliation, Fela would release songs like Zombie to throw lyrical stones at the officers who made it their duty to storm his home and cause chaos. In 1978, Kalakuta Republic witnessed the worst invasion when 1000 soldiers allegedly marched into the community and destroyed a lot of things and injured a lot of people. That "attack" reported the maltreatment of Funmilayo who was said to have been thrown down a story through a window by the angered soldiers. In February of that year, mama, at age 78 slid into coma battling to regain consciousness. Some say she spent her last days in coma before passing on to the afterlife. Some others claim the injuries sustained from the fall eventually led to her death.

On April 13, 1978, Funmilayo was pronounced dead with many variations to the actual cause of death. Attempts to tie the attack to the name of the soldier who started it was in vain. This led her son, Fela to sing a song about her perceived murderer titled Unknown Soldier.
