I m a graduate of Economics, I served in 2009/2010, I was employed by a bank briefly from 2010-2011, I got employed by the Nigeria Custom from 2011 to date.
I was able to achieve all these with the help of my uncle who happens to be 1 of the top shots in todays Nigeria, if I must say it he's among the 1st 4 in power rankings as far govt is concerned, this is all I will say about him I won't mention his name.

The problem I have now is that I was involved in a very terrible accident that almost cost me 1 of my leg few months back, the accident made the effected leg shorter than the healthy 1, and its certain that I will end up walking only with the help of a walking stick in the future unless a miracle happens, the problem now is that I so much fear my future with the para-military, I may be well connected to remain @ work for some times but that connection may end 1 day, para-military and military in Nigeria end up retiring their officers that have 1 issue or the other with their legs declaring them incapacitated.... I don't want to leave my work considering the kind of brighter future I may have if I m not 1 day declared incapacitated in the future......

The temptation of meeting my uncle for another job on medical grounds can not just leave me coz this is some 1 that can get u a job with just a phone call.... If I consider the number of people that are jobless I feel if I go and meet him for another job I may be tagged as an ungrateful person and it won't go well with me @ all...
Something is also telling me that I should just concentrate on my job while I make sure I have an Msc and PhD before considering what next to do.... Pls I need your advice what should I do?

NB: pls forgive my gramatical and spelling errors if any.... Thanks

Kunzaar83,

My perception of your submission is that your current job is being threatened because of the outcome of a situation beyond your control and you need to channel a future for yourself without being caught unprepared.

If preparing for your future is a concern to you then you might want to resist the temptation of depending solely on your influential Uncle to create opportunities for you. You should start using your own skills to create your future.

I do not know how things work in the para-military but you have given us an insight into what might become of you as a result of the situation. That is a way to look at it and another way is to see how you can use the situation to your advantage and that of the agency. Do not preoccupy your self with the thought of being sent out, but you might want to start thinking of a unit where you can build your competency and add value without having to bother with any physical state.

You did say only a miracle can make you walk without a walking stick. Why don't you trust God for that miracle?

"Something is also telling me that I should just concentrate on my job while I make sure I have an Msc and PhD before considering what next to do..." Why would you do an MSC and PHD that does not fit into your career plan? You don't make such investment of time and resources and after ask yourself what to do with it. My suggestion is that you should find out what gives you career fulfilment and set future goals around that.

If you might need some assistance in identify your career interest, we might look at it together offline.

I also need a job in the custom. how do i go about it. pls help a bro.
