Description

Dear Applicant is a gripping stage play that exposes the harsh realities faced by Nigerian graduates in their quest for employment. The story follows the journey of Mayowa, a bright and ambitious young graduate, as he navigates the treacherous job market.

Despite his impressive credentials, Mayowa encounters a series of soul-crushing rejections, each one chipping away at his self-worth. He soon discovers that the job market is saturated with incompetent individuals who have secured positions through nepotism and connections.

As Mayowa’s search for employment becomes increasingly desperate, he begins to question the system and the government’s lack of infrastructure to support the youth. His frustrations are amplified by the stark contrast between the promises of politicians and the harsh realities of everyday life.

Through Mayowa’s story, “Dear Applicant” sheds light on the endemic issues plaguing Nigerian society, including:

1. Unemployment and underemployment
2. Nepotism and favoritism
3. Incompetence and mediocrity
4. Lack of government support for youth development
5. Mental health struggles and emotional exhaustion
