A GRADUATE’S VIEW OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSROOM AND LABOUR MARKET

By Oyede Saheed

It is an established fact and rightly so that the difference between want and demand is the ability to pay.

In the same vein, experts in various sectors of the economy have consistently harped on the fact that as students or human beings, if you want a secured future, all you need do is work towards it, as a ship does not accomplish its mission without setting sail.

Human resource professionals maintain that Nigerian students must realise that what they are being taught in class is far behind what the labour market demands, adding that there is a huge difference between theory and practical.

So if you think the goodwill that your university offers you is sufficient for you to feast on, I want you to realise that such nice time is just for the short run because what you require to survive in the long run is the investment you make in yourself now.

As the popular saying goes, “The absence of war is not the presence of peace.” So don’t presume that because you have money today entails that you will always have ’more than enough money’ to cater for your bills if you don’t prepare yourself for the future.
Again, the mere fact that your boyfriend can take you to places today in no way suggests that he will be able to continue in the future. In the same vein, just because you are poor today doesn’t mean you can’t still be poor or rich tomorrow.

It all depends on how you want it and how much you put into your aspiration. It was Albert Einstein that said the problems of today can’t be solved by the level of thinking that created them. So by extension, your tomorrow’s bills can’t be catered for by your level of income today. Think about it.

It takes a strong fish to swim against the current. So as you navigate year 2014 as students in your various tertiary institution, challenge your mentality; don’t wait till you graduate; start some things now; you need to inspire yourself to achieve greater things in life because God will only reward hard work not wishful thinking.

Welcome to 2014.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PUSH FOR TRUE CHANGE? Austria on December 12, 2018, made history by electing the world's youngest president, who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz. Before those elections, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youth are contented with being used, praise singers and be special assistants on social media, youth elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youth. Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. The bar has been raised in Austria, that elected a 31 year old man, as its leader. A 31 year old man in Africa, is probably in his parents house, unemployed, broke, eating free food and not bothered. The 31 year old Africans are feeling big, supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in),

WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE Nri Chinenye Audrey. It has been overwhelming, overwhelmingly exhausting. With every second of exhaustion died the dream and the promise to stay true to myself To be relevant To live and answer to my calling That voice within slowly becoming stifled as I gradually eased into the oblivion where I do not need to work my mind of creativity Where I become normal, regular And my purpose and calling to life, dead... Somewhere, somewhere within, the voice cried My conscience cried out powerfully loud in its small voice to remind me of our pact, that... WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE. And I awakened.. . . . What is your dream? What challenges are you going through that has made you so weary to the point of forfeiting your dreams? What is that thing that is causing you great distractions? The road to achieving much in life comes with many obstacles. Sometimes you get distracted, confused, overwhelmed, weary from failing too many a time. Whil

FROM AN INSECURE HOUSEWIFE TO AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED MAKEUP ARTIST By Love Olaleye As an undergraduate in the university, I engaged in different business like buying and selling clothes, making zobo, just to earn some money to augment the pocket money that never seemed enough. None of these businesses brought me the kind of joy I experienced when I decided to pursue my passion in makeup. First I became a Mary Kay rep; I would sell and show students how to use the products they bought. The joy that beams on their faces was fulfilling, despite the frustration of running after debtors. I remember my first bride who happened to have been my friend who was kind enough to allow me experiment on her face. As I drove out early hours of the morning around 6am, my car brakes suddenly failed, I ran into a tree off the road but God saved me, no scratch, I came out and the car was badly damaged. As the car was being towed home, it was a decisive moment, I had to decide wheth
