Please Advice Me... I Am Almost Giving Up by RedMac: 9:34pm On Jul 18, 2022
Good evening great people of naira land, please I have come to you guys to help me, depression is fast pushing me towards committing suicide (I just pray I don't eventually give in to it)

I am a graduate of computer science from a petroleum university in Niger Delta, although I came out with a 3rd class... And I have zeroed my mind about bothering myself to look for job, cause honestly i felt it's a waste of time...

My father is such a man that believes in his children to be workings and be earning a salary at the end of every month, cos he believes this is the way a man should live his life, this idealogy of him really did not make me realize one day I would stand on my own, and this job may not come as easy as I have thought, I grew up having no alternative, no skills, no handwork and am over 30 still finding myself under his roof... I have never worked for any serious company, and he does not see me as someone who has vision in this life since I have no job...

Where do I start from, another year is rolling away and still yet I have no skills to fall back on, no financial income

Everyday I keep seeing guys do one menial jobs like keke riding to washing of cars just to meet up with responsibility since no high paying job is coming forth, but here I am still depending on my parents or elder brothers for job, for over 2 years since I finished my NYSC...

Each time any member of my family ask me this question (what plan to do u have for yourself, I immediately get depressed cause I don't know of anything to think of, as I have no skills to venture into any business of my own)...

Sometimes I feel like I should just go out there and also pick up the keke and start riding or apply to teach in a private school (though many members of my family won't like me doing such) but I have no choice at this point...

If I don't start doing things that would fetch me money no matter how little, I may end up seeing myself as useless... If u have any job for a 3rd class degree holder or an advise please share it with me... Thanks cry

Sometimes you feel like to go out there and pick up a keke, then what's holding you back man?

Make your own decision you're 30
already, build your self don't listen to what most of your family members would say.

Most handsome men you see on the road riding tricycles are graduates like you, so man up and face reality cool

As a graduate of computer science, you practically have the world on your palms. If you really applied yourself, you wouldn't be at a loss what to do.
If you didn't, then it's not too late. There are many free online skills you can master within a short time to fetch you a decent living.

My advice for you is to be your self discover your potentials don't ever listen to what family members are asking about your plan in life @30 you still have along way to Go, remember alot of your mates are dead or in the prison but here you are alive that what matters, keep holding strong and look for anything legit to do even if the pay is Small from there you can discover your real you, Remember you only live ones do what make you happy stay blessed.

They have spiritually tied you. Nothing near the house will work. Go far from your father's household and village. Far off. Begin here

After treating the spiritual, focus on physical.

Go for training on how to drive. Car, Okada, Korope. When you complete this training, go to any car park and ask for park chairman. Tell them you can drive and like to take up daily deliver job. They will get you a car, on a daily, you can make up to 4,000 Naira and up to 120,000 Naira monthly


Before you do business after you leave home, first find a deliverance church and minister and complete your deliverance. Otherwise the car go dey knock for your hand


Focus on your talent. Na hand God give you talent not brain. Leave schooling etc alone

Thank you so much... My greatest problem now is that I am still staying with my dad, and I can't really plan my life under his roof without doing any job to atleast sustain myself should I pack out of his house... I can't present any business to anyone, cos I don't have any experience in doing business, also no one would give me money to start up a business from scratch... I believe I have to start and they would support later... I just want to go out there and hustle as other guys are doing, even guys younger than me with 5 years... My closest option now is to consider teaching in a private school ... I just have to endure the pains that comes out of it cry

As a computer science graduate one of those skills am currently learning is UI UX design... But like I said ... I have so many things disturbing my mind, and UI UX is not something I can be totally good at when my mind is being disturbed, me waking up every day under my father's house is the biggest torment of my life... I don't hate my father, but I hatet the fact that am still under his roof at this age... I have made so many mistakes in the past, and those mistakes cannot be corrected under his roof, hence the reason I want to find something doing to atleast help me pay my bills as I plan to leave his house...

True, as a computer science graduate there are a myriad of opportunities online and you can leverage on them to get started. I am currently running some training on how you can scale up your income to 100k-150k weekly. You can reach me on WhatsApp for more explanation. Here is my contact: 07086542202

OP is a definition of LAZY BRAIN....based on these facts I deduced from his narration (if true).

# He is a graduate of computer science
# He is over 30 years
# He has access to browsing gadget and internet hence he created this thread.
# He lives where so many peeps are getting busy to earn daily.

Anyways in another news the ability to convert what one knows to financial/monetary value is what many people/professional lack knowledge of... reason why there is rise in the unemployment level in many developing countries like Nigeria.
Unfortunately too this process of knowing how to monetize what you are taught as an undergraduate is not considered in school(university)!

Howbeit I keep telling people that no matter the kind of course or profession you are in, you can effectively monetize it via the online space either as a freelancer , content creator or consultant.

Some month ago(April) someone that is an electrical technical college graduate reached out through the facebook id on my profile and after 3 weeks paid training he now earns via Dropshipping & Dropservising of electrical tools and essentials via online and from the feedback I got he earns @least #60k(sixty thousand naira) weekly rendering his professional service(s).

With just 20 electrical shops he supplies daily with sunday as his rest day with an average of #500(five hundred naira) profits per supplies he makes the said sixty thousand naira profits.
I told him to manage these 20clients (electrical shopss) for at least 3months then he can decide to source for another 20 with same locomotives he was thought in creating the 20 he delivers to for now.

That's why I keep saying that if you have access to internet + browsing gadgets and you ain't earning even $5 or it's naira equivalent daily or you are yet experiencing financial freedom then it's your own undoing(FAULT).

Start by learning how produce paint and apply it, or how to fix tiles in building, these skills is easy to learn, when you save some money in it, you can venture into printing and distribution recharge card, or you can start to produce local soaps......

When you may have gather some fund, start a computer training center, where you do all kind of works, like graphic making, laminaton, publication, passport picture making, photocopy, and many of them, at the same time teach people on that, you said you're computer scientist in your post, so you will know more about it..,

Just start some where, and you grow little by little, cultivate the culture of saving, it will help you..

You can leave your current location if you wish, and go to place where people don't you....I did that, and it work good for me..

Beginning can be difficult, and nature always test patience of every successful person...
