Building a life dependent on a monthly income paid in the Nigerian naira is hardly obtainable. Except the amount you're paid will exceed whatever amount of money you'll spend and still allows you to save s sizeable amount for other futuristic purposes.

But then are there jobs in Nigeria that are going to pay you this huge? There are. Why then does it feels like there aren't? This is because there are many reasons why there are tendencies for artificial scarcity of jobs in Nigeria.

First, most of the highest paying gigs or jobs does not look for workers or place adverts showcasing opportunities for the best candidates to apply this is because people already working in the firms have candidate who they easily slot in once an employment opportunity showcase.

Take a look organisations like shevron, there are webs and chain of connection that makes it a phenomenon for the highly connected people to have the best jobs, the highest paying salaries and endless allowances not because they're qualified to work in these sectors but because they're connected to people who easily are connected to others who controls the vehicle of wealth and opportunities.

This is majorly why lucrative jobs are not always up for contention. There's nothing like the best of candidates fighting on a neutral ground to secure an appointment, it's all smoke and mirror and that is why innovative is difficult because qualified people aren't given the opportunity to create wealth from the richness of their experience.

Inasmuch as we natural have job scarcity in Nigeria, there are even more reasons why the scarcity is heightened. Another one is discriminating between experience, education and skills.

Truth is, many Nigerians do not have all these in one and the percentage that does are very little. Most people are skilled but do not have the necessary degree/education to secure a well paying gig and even if they're employed based on their skills they're paid meagre amount of money until they can provide a degree or a certificate patenting that skill.

So many skilled people are caught up in this. On the other hand, most educated people lacks skills. But since skilled people also have experience, nevertheless you need to be excruciatingly good at what you do, probably possessing the three in other secure a well paying employment opportunity.

But not having the three of education, skill and experience makes jobs virtually scarce as the requirements of some of these firms are virtually out of this world. Scarcity of jobs is further heightened and highlighted, further broken down to nepotism, human error and lack of due process.

At the end of the day it boils down to either being hugely connected or knowing your onions to the later and 100% . Most of the things I've mentioned make it difficult to get very lucrative offers as these has been taken by the elite, leaving the mass population fighting hard for the remaining meagre paying jobs in the state and the exposure to exploitative private business owners.

These are the numerous reasons for the push to be one's own person when it comes to finance and business is really crucial. Because of the crashing value of the naira, many people would prefer to go abroad or countries with reasonable and valuable currencies like England and the United States.

Even if it's to have two or three paying jobs that might see them earn up to $250 in a week. The mass migration has begun and many people are moving especially to less populated countries like Canada.

Nevertheless it's essential to consider owning one's business and considering having means that would beat the toxic inflation. In reality jobs in Nigeria are becoming unsustainable and more meagre and this might mean that top skilled and educated people would completely leave the state for greener pastures.

Solid read here. Until I joined crypto, I never knew how miserable it is to depend on monthly income.

Inasmuch as we natural have job scarcity in Nigeria, there are even more reasons why the scarcity is heightened. Another one is discriminating between experience, education and skills.

I may have to defer on this. Many young people have not understood the difference between a work and a learning opportunity. When we have an opportunity to gather skills and experience, we should that even though the pay is low, then afterwards, we'll have all we need as per pay. However, they can supplement their pay with earnings from socialmedia activities as on Hive.

Financial education is the problem for this. Everyone needs a learning opportunity in diverse trade circumstance. This can obviously intertwine with your work it is just like having an idea of how to fix electricity and basically studying it in school as an electrical engineer and also getting employment opportunity in the power Holding company of Nigeria.
Nevertheless people can do different things irrespective of what their learning opportunity was. It is all about having a base core understanding.

Thank you so much for dropping by I appreciate it
