Self Emloyment Tips;Taking Advantage of the New Money Era/ Be your Own Boss.


I am always infuriated seeing graduates carrying files up and down all over the country. It is really a matter of great concern that after spending a period of 4-5 years in the University there is no show for it. This keeps on to make me wonder what is the essence of going to the university, every year i keep on seeing teenagers queuing up in their number to obtain the jamb form, it makes we ask myself, ' if i cant get a good job after school what then is the reason i should go in?.
After making so much research as to what the problem behind this is, Ive realized that there is virtually no country where there is no unemployment  problem.Nigeria as a developing country has serious unemployment challenge. It is true and confirmed that 4 out of 10 graduates of higher education cannot find work. For those who are lucky, employers are fit with their skills and the impact they play  in the organization they find themselves.

It is said that to every problem there is a solution. Looking at our economy today there is need to go beyond our mere thinking ad figure out a more better way of surviving, rather than leaving ourselves to the hands of our so called government. Self employment is an idea which has been reducing the burgeoning rate of unemployment in our country.

What is Self employment?

Before now, the term 'self-employment ' was used to refer to successful business men and people are really intimidated to venture into such because they believed they usually require a lot of money to startup the business.
In a layman's definition I will say Self employment is basically a state in which you work for yourself instead of working for others that pay salary or wage. A self-employed individual earns their income by profitable operations from trade to business they manage directly.
Self employment has become so cathartic as youth have used this means to sustain their lives, as it has little or no startup capital depending on your pocket.
Today ill be feeding us with self employment ideas that you can start with little or no money.

Drugs, Brains And Behavior: The Science Of Addiction

So, preventing early use of drugs may go a long way in reducing these risks. If we can prevent young people from experimenting with drugs, we can prevent drug addiction. Risk of drug abuse increases greatly during times of transition. For an adult, a divorce or loss of a job may lead to drug abuse; for a teenager, risky times include moving or changing schools.

Meet the 8-year-old girl raised by monkeys

An 8-year-old girl was found living with monkeys in a remote nature reserve in Bahraich, northern India. The girl has now been dubbed Mowgli 2.0 because of the similarity of her story with the story of the boy in The Jungle Book who was brought up by wolves. The girl was discovered by a group of woodcutters working in the area who then alerted government officials and she was rescued from the region near the Nepal border. The girl did not seem happy about being uprooted from the only home she knows, she then screeched like a monkey, which it was soon discovered is the only way she knows how to communicate.  It was also discovered that the girl could not walk like a human and instead moved on all fours, the way animals do and she runs away at the sight of humans.
