READ How 16 Youths Lost Their Lives in Nigeria because of a Job Salary of 12SBD
How much is a life worth? Let me tell you!
How it all happened..
On Saturday 15th March 2014, 6.5 million youths in all the 36 states (+FCT) stormed various recruitment centres in Nigeria for a recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Immigration Service for just 4,000 vacant positions!!
6.5 million youths applied for 4,000 positions!!
Wait a minute!
6,500,000 - 4,000 = 6,496,000
6,496,000 persons were not needed!!
That's not all!
6,500,000÷4,000 = 1,625
1,625 persons were bidding for 1 vacant position!!
See the effect of this...
At least 16 job seekers were confirmed dead and several scores (thousands) of people were injured!!
In Abuja, over 100,000 job seekers arrived the recruitment venue. 64,000 has been invited to a stadium that could contain 60,000 persons.
10 persons lost their lives
At the Samuel Ogbumedia Stadium Benin, 28,000 gathered and over 50 persons were injured while 4 lost their lives.
At the Women Day Secondary School, Minna. Three applicants were comfirmed dead!
Other centers had no death but several injuries...

According to the salary structure at the Nigeria Immigration Service, the highest ranks can get up to three million Naira per year. At the same time, the lowest ranks, like Passport officers can get about 30,000 Naira per month.

This is approximately 12SBD for a junior staff monthly..
The cause of the death was due to
1. Overcrowding
2. Stampede
3. Exhaustion
4. Impatience
But, the major reason for their death was due to Unemployment!
If they had a good paying job or source of income, they wouldn't have applied in the first place!
Over 40 million Nigerians are unemployed
My Solution to this Menace:
SteemVangelism!
SteemVangelism is the promotion of steemit to the youths of Nigeria, particularly the Youth Corps Members and University Students who will in turn train others!
1SBD daily is the objective.
I have already written what 1SBD a day is worth to a Nigerian youth.
Yesterday, 30th January 2018, I spoke to an additional 147 corps members about the steem blockchain.
