OP, if you are healthy enough to get a woman pregnant at 29, you are healthy enough to get a job.
Let me outline my recommendation for you

Go to church or mosque and clear your head of possible spiritual attack

Register your wife in a Government hospital or approach a midwife around and explain your condition.

Hit your street and wash all the cars there, When people ask you what your problem is tell them you want to open a car wash shop but no money.This way someone will possible pick interest in your story or give you change for your service.

If that doesn't work, go to bus stops, approach a local trader and volunteer to hawk for him.

If that doesn't work, go to a construction site and offer to work

If that doesn't work, volunteer to be a conductor.

If that doesn't work, offer to be private teacher. Anytime you see a rich man, walk to them in confidence and say you like to do something for them. They may be needing your service.

If that doesn't work,walk into restaurants and offer to be a waiter, security or dish washer.

If that doesn't work, keep thinking hard. You can PM me, I like to talk with you, not promising a job anyway, I only want to view your C.V and see what I can do.

Spend more time talking to people on the street in place of talking to yourself. Trust me Nigeria is not as bad as you are seeing it.

Thanks for the advice, i do appreciate.

@Chukky86
I had similar experience. After my NYSC in July,2012. Everybody turned against me. I am the first issue. I did bus conductor to get money for my SSCE. I lost my dad since 1994. I searched for any job, even SSCE job, all to no avail. After six months, I used the money I saved during my NYSC to set up a very small business. The business began to dwindling b'cos I usually gatecrash job Test/interviews from the business, collected my pending original certificates, I had so many competitors etc. 'Omo, if u see me then I no be like pesin wey go skul atall because of frustration'
In Oct.,2014, I decided to learn how to repair generator just to bring my business back to life but the boss told me its #30k for 1month. 'wia I won see #30k unless I close my business'. As I was planning to enrol for the traning, I received a job invite in Nov, 2014, and I am working now.

So, guy(CHUKKY 86) you can do absolutely anything to survive, I dont mean bad things, but genuine labour coupled with prayers. Also, think big!

Na only Danfo drivers doing shifting u dy talk, u funny. Even d bus conductors dey follow join as no enough bus. Get hired purchase vehicle as if say u go just go pick am for road. Dats naija for we sha

Smh for those people that advise youth to start a business. Little do they now that it's not everybody that has a star or destiny for personal business.

It worked for dangote does not mean it will work for you.



My advice is even if u want to start a business at least work for along peiod of time to know and av little experience about ow to go about a business. At leat 5 to 10yrs.

what the Op needs is your encouragement and/or assistance with a job. If u can't do neither I suggest you avoid saying anything. Yes, a lot of people passed through it, but getting up after a fall takes the Grace of God. I can provide names of mega wealthy individuals that fell from that grace and never got up, and you'd ask how they got the strength to create wealth in the first place. I would encourage those that have opportunities wherever they are to send such info across to him.The Lord is your strength.

as i have said you dont know my story.Thank God for your own. Na cab you still drive, done that. Have done the worse job you can ever think of. Even employers doubt my potential. I lost my last in 2011 because i had challenges in health issue. Na taxi driver be your hustle, have sold okrika in yaba, sold pure water in go slow, have done yahoo yahoo. I stop doing ilegal stuff because there is no gain hurting other people. If you are lucky for being taxi driver, not everyone is thesame. Do you think someone will give a one eye guy a car drive
I support yhe family of 9 and my junior ones are in the universities and they all depend on me. So you dont understand a thing, u are only bragging about own success and sorry being a cab man is not hustle enough

ogbeni siddon and stop finding excuses ,I have sold pure water on the streets, cut firewood in the forest for ppl ,worked at the fishing harbour for 16hrs a day non stop and many other more dirtiest stuff I won't say here . So quit talking and hit the ground running. It is only in nigeria that the word mercy exist and that is why u are lucky u are in nigeria . Nobody gives a shit if u kill urself outside naija ,infact ppl will be actively encouraging you to kill urself and not to forget recording it so that they can make a fool out of ur mess. We live in a hard world where only the fittest survive . One eyed and u call that a big deal !!!!! If a man with no limps ,arms or legs can make it ,then what stops a one eyed man from making it . Better change ur thinking and mentality from this begging begging for job and think how to survive .

Ogbenni onatisi, i believe you got issue with ppl looking for job. I didnt ask you specifically about a job. Please you dont have something to say
I guess you didnt read my post you are only here to discredit it. You are onatisi and i am chukky and we are both different, what works for you doesnt mean it work for me. I guess you are being a little childish ash rather than being supportive and an advice will do. Not about ratling about you being a taxi driver. Who give a Bleep. With due respect it not a must to comment, the last time i check on nairaland it free to open a new thread. Please be mature enough. Not all fingers are equal. By the way if there is a opennig in your office.holla me.Thanks

I tried reading your CV but couldn't get pass the first paragraph: who starts a cv with boring BIODATA? I'm not a HR yet I couldn't get through with your cv, much more HR's that have thousands to read per week.

I didn't want to comment; but it would be wrong to notice such anomaly and ignore it.

***Modified***

Unless you've decided to try handiwork but that cv wont get you any attention. Get a template from Microsoft office (Open MS Word, click File at menu bar, click New, look for Resume/CV template; preview the samples and select one from their).

Your previous jobs should tell your 'Responsibilities' while at that job. It is not okk to say you worked at MTN from 2009-2011; it is better to say you worked as a Sales Rep with MTN where you i. developed market strategies ii. generated inquiries iii. created market awareness through social media and customer interaction interfaces...

You don't start your educational qualifications with the least certificate you had (first school leaving shouldn't even be there). You start with the most recent: Msc, Bsc, SSCE in that order...

Why don't you create one instead of dying? Simply identify a need in your locality an seek for solutions

Can u put through on what to do about that. Or if you do have any cv template that would be great.

Thank you very much.

@onatisi
You made me wear smile. Well, everyone as a story to tell. Just thank God for yours. I Believe you didn;t even read the post. Me desperately needing a job doesn't me am looking for a sympathy. Believe me, i have been on the street of hustle since i was 11. so brother you don;t know my story. I believe you haven;t been in situation as such, being depend on by family as the first born. There are two type of people the unfortunate ones and the lucky ones. Please the purpose for my post is to get a job because things are very hard by the day. anyway thanks for taking your time to read.

Learn this lesson(that's WT the guy is trying to say) no mata wat situation or position you find yourself in life;you are always at 'the middle' ,meaning you are better than some,an some are better than you an the ones u are better of have not all killed themselves. Relax ,u will still die. In the future,why the rush?

Dude relax and stop acting like you own the place. This dude asked for help not condemnation. I don't think anyone gives a fvvk how you hustled to survive cos me personally don't. You making it through your jab doesn't mean its by your power, its simply by the grace of God. Some worlds are darker than the one you've passed through and its folly for you to think the obstacles you met are greater than everyone's own. Life is screwed so much you can't un-screw its fvvcks just by using a formula. So please learn to be more humble. No one likes a one-upper.

DuBLINGreenb:


Not about your post but your signature did the seagulls tell you that?

They showed me that.

Now I see where ur problem is coming from. The anguish, pain and killing u cause pipo via yahoo yahoo has come to roost with karma. Your karma is wearing soccer pant. Better go pray to God and ask forgiveness

Chukky86:



I believe youve been sick up there. Your brain eat up by worms that you dont understand a single thing i wrote. Na u suffer pass oya quote me. Trade and setting up oneself is free of charge right. I said i needed a job. Does that mean am begging for your money. I wonder where your understanding is. Read my post carefully and quote me. Na only you make am by yourself if mean say you don make am finish pass everyone here giving me the inspiration.

dude , relax it is u that has comprehension problem . U started the story of suffering ,u started the issue of explaining ur physical disabilities and I pointed it out to u in clear terms that all the reasons u are blaming for ur present condition are baseless that u can make it if u really want and that u can rise above ur challenges despite any physical disability u are or maybe facing. The point is u are looking for ppl sympathy and pity and obviously u are getting it . Where I am ,u fight for what u need ,u don't beg. Ur cv isn't even correct ,is this the fault of nigeria or ur own undoing? U need to sit down and sort urself out and find out where u got it wrong and how to push forward. I talk harshly but I say it the way it is ,I don't sugar coat the truth.

onatisi. I think I understand where you are coming from. However, you have to know that not everyone is blessed with such spirit of yours. To be sincere with you, this is what separates greatness from mediocrity.
Henceforth, if you see someone like OP just render any help within your capacity, believe me PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE THEIR HUMAN POTENTIAL IN LIFE BECAUSE THE POWER TO DECIDE AND INNOVATE IS RESERVED FOR TOP PEOPLE.

I can tell you guys one surest way to be financially freed(in which you can earn back even far more than the start up money within that same day & it goes on and on like that) your other family members will even thank you for this great step you about taking today coz they are going to be blessed in many ways through you with just N6,600,....Beep me up through my signature if you're ready coz financial freedom is not for everybody!
I'M A LIVING TESTIMONY!!!

Chukky86:



Can u put through on what to do about that. Or if you do have any cv template that would be great.

You need to provide a little more information about your expertise, you also need to state the full addresses of your referees.
Your core skill set is actually in Computer maintenance, and I that is what you should emphasize more. Take a look at this CV, it should give you an idea of what to include in yours.
