God’s favor and mercy will pave ways for you to excel @OP

The situation in this failed country is so worrisome. Someone who is willing and able to work, at age 32 still couldn’t get his feet on the ground.

If you still have hope in this failed country, you’re your own enemy.

You will survive the moment you realize u have to move and not look back. ur situation is enough to motivate u to greatness. A friend brother left the village to Abuja when he got there, the uncle's number was switch off. Baba said i can't go back empty handed. so the hustle started. he started sleeping under stair case in plaza, from there he got a job in the plaza, he was able to save money to rent a room i.e after more than a year leaving outside. from there he learn handwork. today he owes a furniture show room in Abuja and he is doing well now. I hope these story motivates you. its not going to be easy but strong will to survive will help u. There will be days u will attempt ti give or days when u will say God doesnt hear ur prayers or he doesnt exist. You have to still moving.

Hard times be like sugar with am, the story nor fit sweet. just remember these and u will be fine

Whether you come to Abuja or Lagos the outcomes may be the same if you do not clearly define what you’re here for.

I advise you come to Abuja in furtherance of your skill set and monetizing it. ONLY THAT. Abuja enjoys a huge spending power. I have experienced it personally.

If it’s a job you’re coming to look for here: you will find the ones that pay you 50k and less. You have no connection. Or do you? 6 months on that job, living costs and transportation costs will frustrate you out of the job and bring you to realize my earlier point.

Please go to abuja
I have stayed in both cities much easier to hurtsle and start life in abuja than lagos and the traffic stress and cost of living less when compared to lagos

U can stay in places like Gisiri, mpape, deidei etc and stil meet up with appointments or job at maitama,wuse etc but not same for lagos

But pray about it also

Good morning Friends

Straight to my story...
I started work few years after my secondery school in a hotel, owned by a politician. I worked as an ICT personal, systems maintenance.
Few years after, we were told the facility will be renovated, we should take a bow till the complication. Meanwhile we've being owe 6months salary but managed to pay 3months which I use to settle debts.
I decided to look elsewhere, this time to use my skill..little did I know it is the beginning of intense struggle.
...Life could be very frustrating without help yet vast responsibilities.

Till date, 4years down the lane, our 3months salary is yet be paid. (mind N128,000.00).

Fastforward...

I have decided to relocate to another state preferably Lagos or Abuja. But I don't have any one to stay with. I'm advancing in age.
A 32years old man managing with the senior sister in one room, No work.. feeding under the Sister's mercy, is not easy oo.

I have acquired some skills I think might be very useful any place, some just need to be sharpened:
1. I can fix computer (although not board)
2. Internet connection, run internet cables, recream cables, (both type A&B).
3. Install CCTV Cameras with internet accessible.
4. Solar installation. Needs to be sharpened.
5. I play instruments, perfectly drum. I could be useful to a church that will want to assist me, till am able to stand firm.

Please I need your kind advise, connection etc.
How do people survived in a place were there's no relatives??

Mode please help see it to front page please.

Before you learn any other new skill, learn how to network/sales. Its very important if you don't have an office location you can be located.

Learn how to meet folks. Your current skill set isn't bad
