iReportersTv Helps to Meet Nigeria’s Unemployment Challenges

With the country’s population rising and youth unemployment figures at an all time high, it is clear to even a casual observer that solving Nigeria’s job creation issues requires us to go beyond the regular. 

Conventional jobs, which are difficult enough to come by, seem to no longer cut it. Our higher institutions churn out thousands of graduates every year, and with no jobs for them to transition into, Nigeria has a crisis on her hands. It could be argued that many of our nation’s problems stem from this lack of gainful employment for Nigerians.

Perhaps it is for this reason that more and more Nigerian youths are actively seeking out careers that deviate from the conventional.

Compared to a decade or two ago, an interview with a cross section of young Nigerians on career options will probably result in more than a few expressing interest in the arts, interior design, event planning and entrepreneurship, as opposed to medicine, law, engineering, accounting and the like.

This is not a negative development by any means. With the expansion and explosion of the creative industry in Nigeria, there is plenty of room for individuals who are willing to try new things, to step away from the familiar. 

In this information age, Nigeria, and indeed the world, is wide open, and virtually anything is possible. 

The internet has spawned whole new fields of work and study, and a myriad of career opportunities, from blogging to self-publishing, social media management to content development. 

Several platforms have arisen to enable this new range of careers. One of such platforms is iReportersTv, the world’s largest platform for African video and other content.

iReportersTV is about empowering individuals to pursue their dreams and giving them a space to showcase their skills, and to earn a living from the things that excite and inspire them, whether it’s a ‘how to’ video, or your very own home movie, a funny story or your opinion on a current issue. 

Through iReportersTv, you can turn your content into a sustainable business. 

According to the site’s founder, Mr Henry Okpolokpo, the top earners in Nigeria take home between $8,000 to $10,000 (1.2 million to 1.6 million naira) monthly, while a large number of partners make between $50 – which is the minimum payment threshold – and $2000 monthly.

iReportersTv allows site members to earn money by uploading content – videos and text alike. 

iReportersTv has also recently developed an avenue for site members to earn money simply by sharing content on the site, and all of this is free and easy to set up in just a few steps.
