May God bless our mothers, may He give them long life. May God provide for us and bless our hustles so that we can pay-back our parents. To the young ladies you will soon become mothers of boys and girls, then you will realise why your husbands' hearts are shared between their mothers and wives.
Thanks for this write up.Women who are suppose to be eating from the fruit of their labour are still feeding their kids who are fully grown up and when the 'Yam is finally cooked', one yeye girl who did not know when the woman was selling pepper under the sun or who work in the office and close 5-6pm will not allow their mother in laws to rest. Mothers are the best, when the chips are down some wives will go but it is only mothers who will stand by you. As soon as things start working out for you the first thing that should come to your mind should be to take care of your mother.

Unemployment is bad, no that's an understatement! Its a bondage sad. I don't know about others but its not been easy at all. Sometimes I feel for my fellow guys because we feel the bite more, a lady will always get money to take care of herself no matter what, but where will a guy get from? Even your friend, before he agrees to help you ehn, its like camel passing the eye of a needle angry

To fellow male job-seekers, how have you been coping with daily survival?
How do you get money for feeding, moving around, barbing your hair,buying personal effects and all that?
Please share your secrets, maybe others can adopt your method and be better off.


Its been "Oriflame" all d way. I know some people will not believe, but I think NETWORK MARKETING is a business that really helps.

I used the little knowledge I acquired over time to start a little business, creating websites ,open Erp and vpn servers for small companies,
Gradually after I saved upto 50k I moved to cloud services design and deployments. What can I say 50 servers later , 6 solid services, and the struggle has reduced,
At least I've moved out from home two months ago

I think they problem we are having is youths want easy ways of making money,
I remember asking my friends to start a company with our savings and our combined tech knowledge, but all declined luckily I ran into two guys with like minds, and now they provide the clients and I deliver the tech solutions, no dulling,
Www.t4t.com.ng www.
4gensolutionsng.com cloud hosted Erp and mail server, still a work in progress costs me. Less than 1$ per month to maintain

it not easy for a single man who has no job. I stay alone and I've been redundant since February till date. I was on a contract, I've really experience the toughest part of life. sometimes i even beg God to take my life, but u know the great news, one must surely eat. my brothers and friends has been really helping me. I have forward my CV to the company am affiliated to, yet am still awaiting their call. may God send me my helper oh...

Yes, brother, to be ashamed depends on your age. Contrary to what the other respondent said, miracles do still happens and that depends on what you have in your hand. God asked Moses what he had in his hand when he was confused as you are right now. So what do You have right now in your hands to receive a miracle? Do you have computer skills, little financial market analysis skills,a computer with internet and a token in your hand? Then email at: ecn360@yahoo.com

Immediately I finished NYSC in Nov. 2014 I looked for a place where I could learn a hand work; I eventually found an automobile service company where i was able to learn how to work on cars (mechanic), I was paid peanuts in dehumanising condition but I knew I was learning a new skill and small change no matter how small was entering my pocket. Fast forward to this present day I got a white collar job that has a promising future which I started last month.
Moral of the lesson get up and start doing something; stop laying around thinking a miracle will happen. The skills you learn on the street might be the one that will open opportunities for you just as it worked for me.
Note: I graduated with a 3rd class in Mechanical Engineering and still got gainfully employed less than a year after NYSC.

I owe my mum a lot. When God answer my prayers, I pray God should give me the grace to positively surprise her with best luxuries of good things. She is exceptional. she is the only person who understands me and believe one day it will be well.

Bros, it has not been easy. . i've had to do all kind of petty and dangerous jobs to survive. I started by cutting grass around peoples compound, i almost lost a finger on a job, that made me quit that job. . sold news paper on the hightway. I later started climbing NEPA poles to help people reconnect their electricity for a fee, i did that for awhile, thank God nothing happen to me. After then, i started installing Dstv and strong dish . . with that, and the help from my mum, i went back to studies and graduated as an accountant. At the moment, i've registed with ICAN and abt to write my first diet on skill level. But the hustling still continues. i thank baba God.

Times are hard,but God has never left me hanging,
Finishing my college degree(hnd) was tough,its been God all the way alongside with an uncle who did his best to keep me on my feet! ...my story shall end in praise.
Finished 2013...no show except a pure water factory job I did to survive here in port harcourt since I left Ekiti(jan),was sleeping in a dry cleaner shop,cloths I don't have,no babe for the past 3years(I don't visit brothels/masturbate ) didn't woo but flirt only, garri and N60 bread was my best friend,my parents weren't helping matters too but thank God for their prayers it saw me thru coz @ first they never believed In me, but when they saw that God was there for me despite their opposition and writing me off; they changed(parents favoritism)! Nl and my phone as been my best companion 24/7 . God raised helpful host via my uncles connection whom I now live with @ present in ph who gave me a self contain apartment and feeding for free alongside with little pocket money. its tough but things are getting better by the day.
Oh I suffered,but I never gave up!!!
I was about starting a land clearing bizness(with d brush cutter machine I imported from china via a nairalander) but I had to suspend it as my new host mandated that I must acquire computer packages skills in detail,am busy with that for now!
As for job,by strength shall no man prevail. I did all I could no show but now God has taken over the search process.
Am writing this becoz I am sure that very soon I shall have all course to testify and celebrate on this forum!
#iluv9ja!
