My life has always been going well until I lost my dad when I was in year one in university, it shocked me so hard but I still manage to graduate...

I graduated and served d nation.

I have always been an extrovert and I like places that are lively...

I have a lovely gf who is so understandable even though I'm not taking care of her as expected cos of my lack of job

I served and returned home, I have spent 9 months at home since after my service, I looked for job everywhere but no job in sight, my uncle looked for job for me but d job is too tough with little salary ( they call it sales representative but d description is of sales boy), going to work from Monday 8 am to 6 pm Saturday with 18k salary which 6k will go for transport fare in a month.

I know I won't be able to cope with it so I rejected it, but it now seems I'm becoming a burden to my family as they look at me as if I don't want to work.

A woman told me to come and be teaching in her school, jss1 and jss2 only typically a new school, the school location is typically a village, but d pressure from home is much for me and doubt
left me with no choice than to accept d offer, d pay is 25k per month... Though out of it I'll be d one to pay for rent and furnish it, house rent is #1500/month....

I traveled to d place today and I can't believe what i met, d place is a very local place and everywhere is just so quiet and boring, i have 5 students in my class.

My gf is already serving and we've not seen each other for months which is already having a bad effect on our relationship...i got home this afternoon and having deep thinking with tears in my eyes if this is how i will continue to live my life...Im 27yrs of age and seems no direction in where my life is going...

Pls, i need mature advice from mature people pls...

It's looking as if i can't survive here at all and my gf is complaining cos better things are not looking to be forthcoming soon.

I'm typing this with tears in my eyes, pls pardon d errors

Na you go report wey dem ban me. What goes around comes around.

stormborn28:
hohohohoooo..i have been saying it hear... Most of this undergraduates are so naive that they dream big sitting on a chair in a big company in Lagos, Abuja, P/H...better drop those eyes and start facing reality... Some girls go use puna but nothing go come out of it...

Bro 25k is manageable in a village setting... Think outside the box... See if there is any farm products from that village that you can bring to city centres... God is your strength

arinola2504:
ops, people might make jest of you here and even call you lazy but belief me, i fully understand how you feel cos have been there, mine is even worst, i cried for almost a month blaming myself of going to school and getting a good grade with no good pay but everything is very much better now.
my first advise for you is to have it at the back of your mind to leave your comfort zone (ur house/state), Lagos might be stressful and trash but there are lots of jobs (it doesn't matter what you study in school), there is a page on facebook and instagram "AFRICANBIOHUB", follow them for real job update and request they review your cv for you(they will charge you like 1500 or so for that) and get a meaningful cover letter (i can help you with that) before you start applying.
you can be applying at the comfort of your home and travel for interviews when invited for one.
My brother if you work on this, i promise you will get a job before the end of this month (even if it is a marketing job with a far better pay and you wont stop applying till you get that your dream job), don't listen to people that says there is no job, there is, people are not just putting in their best effort.
my own case i have no family in lagos but i was determined nothing will stop me even thou as a lady, i keep scouting about and after 6 months of doing a marketing job, i was able to get an apartment and even change my job to a better one, don't just relent, you're A MAN, nobody will help you until you help urself especially in this nigeria
I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO BETTER

pocohantas:


Lol. I ignore you because I need you to know you are small fry. On a good day, I fit pay your school fees, give you monthly allowance on top. No use your small data to dey insult your elders because you can type big English.

Comport yourself, you hear?

Martinez39:
Good, best, worst or bad day, you no reach except you have the resources given to you by those who are drilling you day and night . I do not have time to make exchanges with you. Good day.

topsquino:


Hi

I have read your post. Trust me, there is nothing you are passing through right now that I did not experience when I finished service.

I was among the best in my class, yet I still experienced everything you typed up there.

You are lucky that your girl has not yet told you officially that you are no longer her second, third or fifth option.

Let's focus on the solution. After all, that's what you need.

Trust me, there are many jobs in Nigeria.

What we don't have in this country is skilled people.

This week alone, I had to rummaged the internet to find a good 3d animator for my brand. Guess what, I could not find. I had to outsource the job to Indians.

Do you know you can make money just by singing people's song on fiverr?

Do you know you can make money by being a pro player in video games?

Bro, you are not too old at 27 years to start learning a skill.

The secret of success is in three fold.

1. Learn a skill (1 year
2. Perfect the skill (6 months or above)
3. Market the skill.


Just take a year to learn any skill. I would recommend the following

1. Writing or proofreading
2. Graphic design
3. Web design
4. Programming

Just learn any skill bro and stop complaining and feeling miserable .

Forget that your girl friend. When you are successful, you will get a better one or she will come back.

The only person that can help you is YOU

Good luck

[s]You really do wish that is how I get paid right. How much is that your school fees again?[/s]

[s]Small boy, when you were writing WAEC, we done dey do dragnet and the likes. No be say we old sef.[/s]

Papertrail11:




Life is not unfair n young folks tbh and to make it worse our women dont understand they feel if gou arent balln on a wizkid or davido standard your aint sheet.


That aside we need to emphasize on the skill aspect how to do uncommon stuffs like how to cut diamonds or gems
make glass
make components.


Wasnt it bugga guy who made 3m usd on that fortnite championship

When i was active on discord folks use to make 2k usd by betting on e-sports like csgo games rand they make bank


One girl on twiiter was even advertising apple seeds that grow in Nigeria yet we import that sheet from South Africa even grapes i heard grow in Nigeria.


Opportunites are limitless the rest lies on our hands as youths.

Martinez39:
My problem with Nigeria youths is that they are detached from reality. Oga, for many people, their location and it's government, system and security are crucial to their success. Imagine if Carlsen Magnus was born in Nigeria, will he be who he is today?

Imagine if Lionel Messi, whose parents were poor, was born in Nigeria, the bribery and politics would have prevented him from shining this big. Besides, FC Barcelona helped Messi combat his growth hormone deficiency. Would he have treated his growth hormone deficiency as a Nigerian? Would he even smell FC Barcelona? Would his Nigerian parents even let him play football? He would probably have written JAMB to study some course in the university? How many of our female basketball players(D'tigers) were nurtured and groomed in Nigeria? Remind me where Anthony Joshua was trained?

A doctor in Venezuela will earn peanuts thanks to the economic meltdown brought about by Maduro's implementation of socialism. For such doctor, would he be suffering if he was working in the US or UK? Remind me why Nigerian medical graduates are running to the US, Canada, UK and other developed countries? Why don't they stay here, since according to you, location and government does not matter? I got the shock of my life when I was discussing with my American friends online. Those that studied Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Zoology and other STEM courses were bragging and carrying their shoulders. These jobs are good paying jobs and prestigious over there not to talk of Medicine, Law and Engineering. Can you please tell me about Physicists, Mathematicians, Zoologists , etc. in Nigeria?

Oga, location can play a huge role. In Nigeria, some have sicknesses that they can't combat because there is nothing the Nigerian doctors can do but they don't have money to travel outside from successfully treatment.

You youths are just too damn hopeful. High hope is deluding youths.

Martinez39:
I repeat, I don't have time to make exchanges with you. Dey there dey deceive yourself. All these sperm toilet sef. Good day.

NB : I WON'T MENTION YOU AGAIN. INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME CHATTING ME, GO AND MAKE MONEY THE USUAL WAY.

Martinez39:
Lol. Very good. Let everyone be suffering. Everyone wants to drive bugatti and build big house but they can't unite to revolt against their corrupt leaders who have sold their future; brought a bad system, and are raping them left, right and centre. Oga, look at other graduates that are struggling with #18k/month, what made you think your case would be different? You are special? You are smarter? They are dunce? Hehehehe...

Freedom, safety, a good system and good standard of living won't fall from the sky and they don't come easy. America is where it is today because their forefathers gave sweat and blood to liberate and prosper America. Now, everyone wants to go America.

Oga, the truth is that not everyone will make it in life. Many, throughout their lives, will only get just enough to survive. You have to humble yourself and be grateful for the jobs that come your way. Mind you, be prepared to lose your girl when a rich man comes around. In fact, she might be seeing someone else. It's best you break up with her.

As long as :
1) youths are still voting APC or PDP;
2) youths are not revolting against the system; and
3) youths are oblivious of the great odds against them and are condescending to think their future is somehow somehow bright and they are special even though many are suffering,
Youths will keep on suffering. Don't worry when you youths are tired of dry cleaning, selling bags of foodstuffs, driving keke, modelling and dancing dirty on music video, prostitution etc. after four or more solid years in the university studying courses that are unrelated to your business, no be person go tell una to revolt. For now, take heart.

One major factor is religion.
I don't like it, it makes people not use there brains

Be very careful on how you respond to issues. Somebody may read your words and commit suicide. You don't know the state of that young man now and you are busy uploading pictures laughing at him. If your words and thoughts can not help those who are depressed, keep those words/thoughts to yourself. If any man dies because of your words, his blood shall be on your head.

How will u feel if I tell u that u are lazy? I believe this shows that u are Yoruba or u grew up in Yoruba land. Cos many Yoruba train thier children how to be self independent

Let me start by asking u how much u save from youth service abi u squandered all. When know ur background and u know that its only God be your backup. See let me tell u the truth, either the 18k salary is small or not.. Accept it and start ur life. U won't limit yourself on the job. U have smart phone.. As u are working u will be searching for better offer. If am ur girlfriend, I for don leave u for long. Pls don't wait for miracle job..start doing something.

@Francisayo I sincerely wish i could talk to you on phone right now, but bro, you really need to calm down first and be true and honest to yourself.
I had a similar experience and God! oh how I regret the decision I took then, if not for the mercy of God, Local man for don enter voicemail by now. Bros accept the #25K job for a start.
Lemme also tell you that one of the greatest gifts God has given you is the location of the school, jejely resume the school, use the tranquil environment and atmosphere to adequately plan your life. Oluwa has also buttered ur bread with a mobile phone such that you can even access the internet, use it judiciously. Join Twitter, follow sensible people that will help ur life and future; listen also very well but be careful to what you give ur ear to.
Finally, for the hanty that is doing ur head Turnionwon, kindly give her space so you can face and build your life. If she's for you, she'll understand and wait, if she's not, I give her 3/6/9months, you go hear say she don marry.


So brother, i leave you with this from Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get Wisdom; and in all thy getting, get Understanding". Use ur Akanuche ooooooooO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
