As a northerner, I’ll be blunt here.

There are not very many excellent jobs in Nigeria, especially, in the North. And the few ones that are in the public sector? They usually go to the "highly connected” people.

And if you are able to get a place in the few ones that are left, you’ll only be paid a "survival wage." It keeps you afloat, but it won’t build you a future. In fact, with bills and family, it can make you poorer.

If your goal is to move into the middle class, which is the most realistic goal for most of us from humble backgrounds, then your strategy cannot be:

1. Waiting only for public sector jobs.
2. Limiting yourself to just your city or state.

The harsh truth is that unemployment is higher in many northern cities than it is in the south. That means your chances of landing a good job here are slimmer.

As young people, we must be pragmatic in coming up with solutions. I think these 4 practical moves can help:

1. Look to the private sector - While you’re still hoping for government, go hard for private companies. They pay better. They train you faster. They expose you to bigger opportunities.

2. Be mobile - Don’t be fixated on staying in your state or town. Be open to Lagos, Abuja, PH, Kano, anywhere with opportunity. Build yourself there first. When you’ve made it, you can always come back home and give back.

3. Polish your skills - A degree alone won’t pay bills. What problem can you solve? Learn a skill. Tech, sales, logistics, content, trades. Make yourself valuable.

4. Start something small - Having a degree doesn’t mean you must have a 9-5. The goal is to have a source of livelihood. It can be a business, a side hustle, catering, farming, e-business. Start small. Grow it.

Just be out and work hard.

I hope we succeed.

Here's some food for thought:

Last year, about 100 women died at childbirth in UK🇬🇧 .
In Norway 🇳🇴, not a single woman died at childbirth last year.
In contrast, 75,000 women died at childbirth last year in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
This. Is. Not. Acceptable.

Wallahi if you gathered the entire Dantata family in one place, Dangote included, and emptied every account they own, they still would not produce ₦61 trillion, over 40 billion dollars, in CASH. Even Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, does not have that kind of money lying idle. To raise the $44 billion he paid for Twitter, he had to sell over $20 billion of his Tesla shares, take a $13 billion loan from a consortium of banks, and BEG co-investors for another $7 billion. That is what it takes for the world’s wealthiest man to gather a sum smaller than what you people claim one man in Kano kept in cash. Our problem with numbers is beginning to border on mental illness.

@mk_ghazii Okaay. Thank you 🙏🏿

@ahmad_zakariii @najeebismail1 Do the maths let's see. Remember, for the period you're talking about, the dollar was highest maybe 460 to the naira. The dollar equivalent of 210 trillion in those years runs into the 100s of billions of dollars. Again, do the maths let's see.

BIG ENERGY:

I am pleased to announce that NNPC Limited has successfully completed the River Niger crossing of the OB3 Gas Pipeline.

Executed 2km beneath the riverbed using advanced HDD technology, this milestone unlocks a transport capacity of 2 billion scf/day—strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, power generation, and industrial growth. It also builds on our AKK crossing success and reflects disciplined execution, innovative engineering, and the unwavering commitment of our team and partner, PCE Nig. Limited.

I thank Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his Gas-to-Prosperity agenda, our Board under Chairman Ahmadu Musa Kida, the host communities, and the resilient team at NGIC for their steadfast support and commitment.

The OB3 Pipeline links East to West and connects to the Northern corridor via the AKK Pipeline, unlocking over 500 million scf/day of domestic gas. The AKK will supply power plants, fertiliser, manufacturing, and new industries across Kaduna, Kano, and beyond, driving job creation, economic diversification, energy access, and West African exports.
