True Federalism in Nigeria: The Slogan is not the answer

I have been seeing too many posts on Federalism recently that honestly, I cannot keep up anymore. The funny part is they are all saying the same thing; How Nigeria needs to practice it and it being the way forward. It is hilarious you know.  There has been serious agitation for true Federalism which became essential for the birth of this post.  Before I forget, let me explain what Federalism is to everyone.  “Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between the Central (The Federal government) and the Federating Units (Regional or States Government).” Let us take a look at the United States of America who is always cited as an example of true Federalism.

Unemployment: There is a Job for you

They say the best way to understand a subject is to experience it. Having graduated in Nigeria and now being faced with the brunt of no job and applying for countless of jobs with nothing to show for it, I now understand the typical Nigerian graduates’ cry of no employment. The job situation has gone from bad to worse over the last few years. With the unemployment rate rising to 12.1% in the first quarter of 2016, it is clear we have to create a way out of this mess. Now that this has been said, I like to attend to the reasons why we cannot afford to employ even half of the graduates dropped into the labor market in Nigeria.I like to clarify that these are all my opinions and they stay subject to change. I do not claim supremacy of knowledge so if you disagree, drop your comment and we would reason together. Let’s get down to business
