What a scary question, I pray we never find ourselves in such condition, I recently did something that could make my employer dismiss me, if not for the Grace of God and my parent and my siblings intervention,i would have been long gone.May our source of token never run dry and may we not be the cause of our own predicament.

Amen. What you experienced could be a reality check. Start looking for other means incase such happens again

In fact its just as if the you are presently reading my mind, this question has been a vey scary one and i always think of it everyday. i have lost my job time without number and i saw hell during this period, now that God has saved me by securing another one am always scared of not losing it. i worked Monday to Saturday, 8am to 7pm, i have child in university and others are in secondary school. all these has created a serious fear for me, as am typing am seriously sick and yet am in office because i dont want to lose my job, this job is so tedious yet i manage to do it as i cant afford to suffer my family again. am seriously searching for another job with rest of mind

Is your wife into business? That kinda fear could heighten your blood pressure. I pray you get something that gives you peace of mind if there is something like that.

Fear and lack of will power will continually chain lots of men and women.
I have quit my job before. Sank a little bit and learnt to float again.

Sometimes losing your job can be the best thing to happen to you. It will open your eyes to possibilities if you don't let tears and fears to blind you.

Keep moving. Keep moving. Never stop.

is your advice for married folks or single folks?

I love your advice cos it's happened to some , and they are doing absolutely well, but mostly single guys

This is only valid when you don't have dependants, trust me I don suffer for my life and it does not faze me when I lost my job for a year without one, even my parents started seeing me as unambitious, but the truth was it was beyond my control, my savings was my saving grace and I could not get to do business, now imagine if I have a wife and children, it won't have been same feeling.


That strong will is only meant for single people without children who knows nothing about how money is made and if dad is employed or not...

True thats why I am not getting married in Nigeria. My boss is a brilliant software engineer and had to live on benefits for two months in his country. Poverty in singlehood and poverty in marriage are not the same.

Very good.

Very good to convert part of the active income to Investment that will generate passive income. If we don't make money while sleeping, we will work till we die.


Job loss can be through retrenchment, sickness, accident, permanent disability etc. So how can one survive if these unexpected situations should happen


We are told to pray for the best, prepare for the worst and plan for the unexpected


This is a very valid point, and a fearful one as well. Disability alone, can make someone who thinks he's accomplished all in life live their later life in penury.

If you anyone does online jobs, are you covered when that happens?

Infact I know a woman who made the spouse grow from nothin till the husband told her to stop working cos of the money he commands. Where the man can enter, the woman no fit enter the place.

I do think about it but I started freelancing last month and what I earn from freelancing is now more than my salary...

And even if lose this job, I will definitely get another one, infact I have been disturbed today to come for an interview but I didn't take it serious because I am currently working somewhere

So, i am not scared but just that, I will have to start attending interviews again which is stress, and my freelancing career is blooming as well.

What do you do or which field are you into?

This is indeed food for thought! I lost my job rather unceremoniously in 2016 and we had a 200k per month mortgage hanging on our necks, school fees etc I already had a small business which was more or less a hobby but was generating some minute income so I took my severance pay and I started a second business in 2016, it took a while to kick off but today it is doing very well.
I am a Christian and I know it was God all the way.
I consult for retail companies from time to time and now our mortgage is completely paid off.
I have since become an advocate for everyone to get a plan B as you cannot predict what the future holds.


Did you pay off the mortgage from your business?

Hmmm, during that lockdown period i saw hell, it was not easy for me at all. I lost my two jobs during that period, five months later i lost my dad. Is as if my brain wanted to explode, thoughts was running through my mind, it wasn't easy for me. Is not easy to be a man o, but i still thank God for everything.


I know it's not easy to be a man, but I hate saying it to myself.

It's enough pain already knowing it, but to remind myself of it is a no no.

Man is just born to suffer no matter the enjoyment you feel you are having. One sickness could just come in and wipe whatever wealth one thinks he has amassed.

But this stuff too has happened to married folks. Truth is life chooses to hit one at the point where you will have to think that you are a mess to both yourself and the society.

The story of Job in the bible is just for people to learn how to cope in such situations.

It's not easy, but it will pass eventually if one keeps hoping and pushing with all humility.

Your taste is different now than when you where a mechanic
tensazangetsu20:


I am a programmer it won't take me 2 years to find another job, maximum of 6 months and if things are so bad a year. It doesn't take anyone two years to find a job in tech. If it was oil and gas or banking ehen you can say 5 to 10 years to see another job and even if it does I was a mechanic on 25k salary before being a programmer so I know poverty and suffering and it doesn't faze me.

As a university staff in one of the most useless universities in Nigeria where both the past and present management of it are wicked and useless for not making life easy for the staff (futo), if I am sacked today I will thank God for his liberation.

Turn to a woman nah

Funny enough no Nigeria man does the above

No Nigeria man will fuel your car for you, because you are working, no Nigeira man will stay without food or sex.they will take it by force .










quote author=LagosInter post=111439862]That's when the useless woman in your life will leave.

Nigerian women are orphans. And ween enable these things just to please them or snatch them.


I saw where they were praising their for not asking about their salaries.

One was even paying the wife's t fare to work daily.


The other bought cars, fuels it, services it etc.

The useless woman goes to work, denies husband sex because she is tired from work, doesn't have time to cook because of work, doesn't take proper care of kids because of work yet nobody knows what she does with her salary.

People should plan for any eventuality , always save money for a rainy day.
whether you are self employed or working in a job.
Majority of Nigerian people don't understand what life is about.
For them spending money like spendthrift and have children in excess of their financial standing.
For them good times will last for ever cheesy

I always tell women that are close to me, that if they must do any business, project, venture with their husbands, it must be well documented, do it through a corporation or a registered Investment vehicle.

Most Nigerian men can't stand a successful woman, most will stab the woman who supported their hustles by the time they are successful

My brother in law, told my sister to resign from her lucrative job in one of the top universities. My sister actually helped the husband to get a job with the state government and paid the first house rent because the husband was staying in their family house when he married my sister.


Four years into the marriage he asked my sister to resign her appointment.

My sister asked for my advice, I told her to resign her appointment provided the husband will pay her total salary for the next 20 years into her bank account in the next 24 hours
