mrvitalis:
Companies would still employ who they want

Stanweezy:
Best thing so far, competent and requisite requirements should be the criteria and not age requirement.

Most of the private sectors are using this age limit stuff to pay graduate peanut in the name of graduate trainee because they know to hire competent hand will cost them.

Penguin2:
This is a very existential, practical and pragmatic bill.

With the epileptic educational system in Nigeria, most people spend longer years than necessary trying to graduate from school only to be told they are now too old to be employed.

Meanwhile you were frustrated by WAEC. Some people write WAEC up to 4 times before they finally make it.

If WAEC doesn’t frustrate you, JAMB will show you shege. Some twice, others three or 4 times or more.

Then when you finally make it into the University, ASUU will tell you to hold their beer. They will make sure that a course that was originally supposed to run for 4 years stretches into 6 or 7 years; and a 7 years course running into 11 years.

Finally you graduate at 36.

Then you see graduate entry openings in Access, Zenith, GT banks. You try to apply only to find out that it’s not for those older than 27 years or sometimes as low as 25 years.

Every other openings follows same pattern.

You consider the military (armed forces) and they all have age cap of 30 years.

Then you exclaim, “School Na Scam!”

Because you are already seeing Chukwudi who failed WAEC with you and left to Onitsha to do boy boy. He was settled after 5 years while you were still struggling with JAMB.

By the time ASUU was done eating Okpa with your destiny he already built a house in the village and bought a small car.

Let’s not even talk about those who started yahoo after failing JAMB twice.

Those ones are now ballers with fake gold chains. But how would you know the gold chains are fake when you have never priced even a bronze chain before?

And now all you have left is big grammar. Big grammar that you come to Nairaland to type some days when nature allows you to afford data. Your life is rudderless and meaningless.

You question God, you question nature, you question everything. You cry inside and on your bed at night. “This must be village people”, you say. Then you visit prophets, alfas, even Astrologers.

You try to start shooting comedy skit but you weren’t funny.

Maybe you should learn Web Development or Data Analysis, but where you go see laptop.

At 33, 36, and above you still don’t know where your life is going.

But now there’s an Abba Moro to the rescue.

God bless you Abba Moro.

Let the 30s and above breef!

Sorry, Experience will always be required.
If an employer brings you in without experience, they will have to train you to do the work.
They will spend time, money, and energy training you.
After 3, 4 months of training, you learn the work, then run away...
the employer would have just spent 3, 4 months training. He didn't work, didn't do any contract... Just training.
Then they find another person again and train...
The place will change to training center. They won't be working again.
Just training random people free everyday...
That is not a business.
So YOU, go and train yourself and scrape up experience ANYHOW-ANYHOW.
and use that to just find yourself a job.
or Kukuma start your own business with your experience.

Waste of legislative time.
They will screen out those that are considered to be above the age limit at the interview stages.

We need proper orientation in the country

bitbillionaire:


You have a point; but then, I believe the bill is absolutely necessary and one of the best bills we would ever have in this country. I believe organisations who pride themselves as being law-abiding will comply. Those who do not comply need to understand that they have broken the law and could be sued.

Unless the person is way too old and obviously too frail for the particular job he or she is applying for, refusing to employ a person who is still physically and mentally fit for the job merely because of his age should be considered a crime against humanity.
