I Resigned From The "Land Of Slavery" In 2015, My Testimony Now by babajeje123(m): 8:36pm On Aug 30, 2016 |
This is going to be a bit lengthy, but try to read to the end. Yeah! It all started last year when I had to resign from a school where I was working, due to some unruly behaviour of the management which I could no longer bear. You can read it up here https://www.nairaland.com/2647029/advice-needed-urgently. I resigned into nothing, without backup, without a single savings but bank debt (RenMoney) but today, I have testimonies. After the resignation, I concentrated on my PPs (fellow teachers will know what this means) and personal development. I would stay at home in the morning to study various materials online (thanks to mtn simple server) and go for my PPs in the evening. In November, God opened amazing doors of high paying PPs for me that i realised NGN350,000 at the end of the month. Then, I quickly started what I couldn't do while working in the land of slavery. I joined a co-operative society so I don't eat all and started meeting some family financial obligations. This flow continued until March when due to Nigeria economic recess, some parents asked me to stop. I felt bad and it was as if i would be back to square one. However, it wasn't so. A colleague called to connect me to a very rich couple who were computer illiterate. In fact, they have one of the leading supermarkets here in Lagos. They've searched for someone who would be coming to teach them in the morning, 2 hours and 3 times a week without finding. I was signed up and it was an experience I will never forget! I trained them for two months and what they paid me each month was NGN10,000 lesser than what my salary was in the land of slavery! Well, the training came to an end and we had to stop. Meanwhile, before I met them, I signed up with a school, teaching ICT on part-time basis. When they (the couple) came on board, I left the school. While I was teaching them, I signed up with another school on part time basis to prepare their year 11 students for ICT IGCSE Edexcel variant. I would go to the school 2 times in a week, go for the computer training 3 times (in the morning) and my PPs in the evening. You can imagine what I was raking in on part time! Though it was stressful, but I enjoyed the flow of money. So, when I left these wonderful couple, I had a school and 3 PPs and the income reduced to 200,000 (excluding transport). It started becoming challenging health wisely so I asked God to help me know what to do for it was obvious I couldn't continue. Then, I started submitting my cvs in schools. In June, 5 big schools called me for interview and surprisingly, there was no clash of dates (God's factor). The most surprising thing was that it was two years ago (2014) when I submitted my cvs to two of them. To cut the story short, I went and got appointment with two of the schools. One is even with accommodation, (two bed with a/c). I'm resuming with them on 1st of September. With what happened to me within this one year, I learnt some lessons which I want to share with you: 1. Rather than grumbling, quit working in a place where you know for sure you are not valued. However, don't be too hasty in doing this. Think and pray. 2. Be hopeful. They can still call you where your CVs are. 3. Don't waste time make use of every resource available in developing yourself. I used Mtn simple server judiciously. MTN, you have a loyal customer in me. 4. Be prayerful. God is real! There's an unseen but a greater force somewhere that controls the affairs of men. You are the next that will testify! 352 Likes 44 Shares |

Inspiring. Truth is NEVER BE SCARED TO CALL IT QUIT when you no longer seem to be enjoying your time at a place. My uncle quitted a federal government job last two years , months later he got another job in another federal government parastatal as a manager with an official car 9 Likes 2 Shares |
