The face of Unemployment in Nigeria

Once upon a time,there was a Nigeria boy when he was a kid was fed and cartered for by his parents,he grew and finished high school and was still cartered for by his parents and fed about 3 square meals daily.He finished university and went for his service year and passed out came back to his house and the parents still cartered for him,but that he started eating twice daily with one meat,he stayed one year at home at it reduced to without meat.
On his second year without gaining employment the parents started giving him food once in a day and on the third year feeling the circumstances and situatuion he went to search for opportunity,he searched and searched but could not see any vacancy finally he arrived at a zoo in the nearby city for a job.When he meet the zoo manager and asked the man if there exist in the zoo any vacancy for him to work because he has made up his mind to take any available job that he saw inother to feed and look nice.The zoo manager did not look at him but told him that all vacancy is filled up.The boy pleaded with the Man.begged him even for the post of a gardener or the commonest job there but the man said that there is no vacancy.

Then the boy decided to leave.Immediately,the zoo manager remembered that their monkey has died and that they needed another monkey to replace it,he asked the boy if he can perform and act like a monkey,the boy said that he will be able to do anything provided he will pay him.
Then,the zoo manager accepted the boy recruited and trained this boy is his new profession and he started work in the zoo immediately and he was paid N30,000 as the starting salary per month and he gave his family some of the money an they started providing him with food agian but he would'nt have the time again to eat.

One day,the boy as he was acting and entertaining some zoo visitors acting as a monkey or defending his classification mistakingly feel into the zoo's lions net.Immediately,the lion rushed to eat him up,roared then the boy jumped up,took out him monkey's voice and cried"Ohafia Leee!!!"The lion on hearing his cry jumped back,cooled down as if comming to retaliate used a lower tune and asked the boy"Are you from Ohafia?".On hearing the lion speak the boy replied"Elu Ohafia Udumeze"Immediately they exchanged greetings andinother for them not to lose their jobs suggested ideas of how to get out of the net.

The Lion rushed and helped the monkey who found his way out of the net immediately the people were very excited and happy that some even paid more to watch the scene.

This story illustrates the face of unemployment in Nigeria my country a place were human beings act like animals in other to feed and be employed.
