I did apprentice for a fashion designer a.k.a Tailor. After using and abusing me with errands for months without pay. She rejected me after one misunderstanding.

Few months later, I got a job with task force union via my uncle connect.
One day we were briefed on the buildings that we will mark for demolition and in one of the streets is that tailors shop.
I was so happy that I promised my guys to take them out that evening if they help me vandalize and threaten the tailor.
Omo revenge dey sweet, we mark her whole shop with paint come damage her front roof. We told others they have 29 days to move out but we told her it's 5 days before we demolish her shop.
She was crying begging us the funny thing is she didn't even recognize me until I introduced myself. Omo see begging. That day was too sweet

We've come a long way.

It was during my project defence in final year. My supervisor then was always in UNN, I was schooling at ASUTECH renamed ANSU (now COOU).

You know the normal if you write table of content, bring for approval or disapproval; if you write literature review, bring for approval or disapproval; That was how a Lagos-bred young man from Imo whose parents sent to school in Anambra was just flying up and down and spending excess time in Enugu state on top Project matter.

The date was near, this woman kept dutifully rejecting my work upandan, I kept rewriting and re-presenting; sometimes successful, sometimes I will be sent back to drawing board. 2 days to the Monday and Tuesday we will defend (I will defend on Tuesday) and she was still analysing. That's how I took a chance and started typing my work. Even on the day of the defence, I was still typing. My topic was 'Applications of Complex Analysis'. Diagrams and equations took a lot of time even though the other parts were ready.

My friend came with his bike to pick me to the venue, when the last person before me was on the podium. I packed my unfinished work, manuscript and everything; clad in my suit I borrowed from a heftier friend at IMSU then, and zoomed off to the room. I had not even stepped in when the supervisor screamed "I did not approve this work o". Like WTF!!

I couldn't believe my ears. Was her intention to make me lag behind while others moved on? I approached the panel and explained to them when I started and why I got delayed. They told me to go back to my supervisor. I went back to her, she wouldn't have it. I started pleading. All of this was happening with everyone watching. I was almost losing it; until hope came through with the voice of the HOD who asked if I was confident in what I did. I replied him that every page in this booklet was prepared by me and I don't even need to look at it to remember and he override the supervisor and asked that I present my work then. And present my work, I did.

I think I put on a hell of a show but I remembered clearly, the closing remark by one of the lecturers on the audience. He said "I've listened to all defences from yesterday till today but this is the first work I can actually agree that the student did a thorough job. Well done". The applause and chants of my nickname that followed left me grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, I was asked to tidy up my work and submit for stamping as a formality, but there is no doubt about the grade on the work.

DesChyko:


Lol. Somebody that disappeared in the scheme of things. I didn't even remember she existed again as I never had to deal with her again nah. Just finished my work; submitted to the HOD and that was it.

It was the first time I wanted to travel out of Nigeria, it was in 2015, wanted to travel to the USA…all my travel documents were checked, but the interviewer said he is not convinced that i will come back, because I was not married, that I did not show sufficient ties to my country….it was a challenging period, for me then… all thanks to GOd I am a British citizen now

My rejection story is plenty. Still finding a way to handle it. Rejection can be really tough particularly on someone who is smart. I have been rejected from jobs, scholarships and even men. There are times are feel like a complete failure. Last year was the worse. I would cry almost everyday. Don't get me wrong, I have a relatively good job, but I feel so stuck in it for years now and I can not help but feel like there are stuff I need to achieve and while time passes by, it does not seem like I am getting any closer. People say I put a lot of pressure on myself, but how could it be when I feel like I am yet to arrive at my destination? There are times when I have been tempted to just stop trying and accept that this is my life now. But it seems like I might even be failing at that too. Failure births self doubt. I hope I do not loose sight of who God created me to be.

I think the strictness of your supervisor helped you master your work.

Lol. The experiences are white frustrating. I'm currently in such position.

I used to be among the top three in class in the two higher institution I graduated from. 85% of persons I organize tutorials for are already gainfully employed. Even my parent had given up on my cause thinking it's because I can't defend my myself etc.

The funny thing about some of the jobs I applied for kept on asking if I had a relevant after school experience. I kept on telling them how I joggled with academics and a job on the side and still came back to good grades.

Still searching though. I still have a long journey ahead of me and won't be giving up too soon.
