The most insightful responses to my tweet were those that rightfully asked “where are the jobs?” As an employer, one of my biggest headaches is finding talent. The second headache is ensuring that people hired break out of the mold of just doing what they are told but rather be curious, ask questions, move the ball forward. There are jobs — not for everyone for sure — but this is where the best will rise above others. The best will get the good jobs. That will always be the case in any market. However, many who would be in the group of the “best” seem to be opting to entrepreneurship without any experience.

Awesome write-up Tayo, this is exactly the issue.
So many people are in jobs not necessarily because they like their jobs or it’s a dream job for them or it’s a field they love passionately, they simply are in it just to make ends meet.
David Okwuli has fully captioned my points: “We can’t wish away poverty in Nigeria (Africa) and it’s boomerang effects.
Until then, we would have to deal with half baked, half committed entrepreneurs who are motivated by the quest for survival and escaping poverty rather than providing solutions and solving problems.
