I hardly engage in long discussions..

I will tell you 'Fine' and waka undecided undecided



I can remember someone asking me about my late mom because he wasn't aware that she was late, responded 'She is fine' and went about my business..

He later found out about it and was angry with me, I no even look his face
where is the sense in what you did?

cheesy exactly you got it 100 percent, this was one of the things i thought about, and realized i was wrong to consider total honesty, especially those ones that sit on the street, and have a good day chatting about everyone else and have nothing to improve about themselves. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Just imagine jobless people, who have no goals, haggling about your issues cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy.

Is not like they can help or are trying to help, they are just bored. Neither does it concern them or have any impact on them.

God will see us through, from the hand of bad people, that will disguise in the name of help to mock us.

Oga I no get work again. Which one is work is fine? This is the same with someone acting like he's rich whereas he ain't got no dime thereby missing out on someone who might help him. Na who get work dey answer work is fine. Maybe others can pretend o but not me. I tell you how it is for me. Laugh at me if you want but as long as I've not come to beg you for anything, your laughter can't do sh*t to but rather motivate me

When you are not or no longer working, and somebody asks you how is your work.

How do you reply them?

Do you say, work is fine or you just tell them plainly that you are no longer working?

I find the answers both awkward
I'm believing God for a new way

Life is short,
when you have no job, and you wish to get one,
and someone ask you, how is work, bro, open up, you never knew when help might come from...
But when you keep saying, fine, fine, and its not fine.
You re limiting your chances....
Open up, and say, im searching for job...
And before you tell hundred people, trust me, something will come up

Simply say we thank God

No one cares if you are working or not and no need to explain to them because they won't understand
Re: How Do You Respond To This Kind Of Question? by Nobody: 10:11am On May 02, 2021
I'm in-between jobs for now. The truth is nobody cares, when I graduated and I was job searching thought when you open up to guys they will be of help but unknowingly I was only pushing them away. Most times I acts as if all is well.

In Nigeria, a problem shared isn't a problem half solved. Is everyone knowing your business and losing your self-respect.
