having bagged a degree in chemistry from one of the prestigious Uni in Naija with strong grade, couldn't secure a job for sometimes, so I started making and selling liquid soap, and paint (painted house too), after doing that for a year, I got a job, as a medical rep, and exactly after one year doing that, I left the shore of my fatherland. I am not where I wanna be but I looked back in time, and I glorify the Lord. With every step I take, I am closer to my goal.

I need just 5 people that wanna learn how to make soap, paint etc to mention me and drop their emails.

This is my very tiny way of giving back and thanking Allah


Thanks

Did many odd jobs, while I was with grandma, I sold vegetable for her,would wake up by 4am everyday ,go to head bridge onitsha or relieve market to buy vegetable, later sold stock fish.
moved in with a family, I was turned to a semi slave, would wake up every morning by 5am to go buy ice block and freeze minerals and pure water which I'll later sale immediately I return from school without even eating, this was my secondary school days. Funny thing is that I have this ajebo face that tends to hide all my stress and hardship, people always count me among the rich boys. lol.
Most times when I sleep walk while hawking, I always see myself judging cases as a judge. lol
After sec school, had to do the normal mecine job for guys, supplying blocks and serving cement in building sites, loading and offloading apples, worked as a sales boy for years, loading and offloading containers and the funniest part of it all, helping some big boys woo ladies and get paid for it in return lol, Finally got admission and currently studying. This is just half of the story, the full version will come when I finally become a great counselor and a certified legal practitioner so help me God.

any help will be greatly appreciated
be it words of encouragement, guidance or financial 0038419510 diamond bank.

After my high school I took a job at computer village, it was so stressful but I knew I had to do it
I stoped after few month then I started to sell chicken and chips with sharwama for various club in lagos.
There was one time I had to fetch water for someone in request for cash, if my mum knew about it she would still be in tears now.

But by the grace of God now am an architect and the co-founder of the first African Architecture website.. we not there yet but we are getting closer day by day.

I wouldn't like to say anything because I don't consider myself to be in that shoe of those that have made it. sometime when my friends that we hustle together back in the days talk about all the shit we passed through before now( at least they are okay) I normally keep quite. when we started tho some odd jobs I opted out and went to school, no I'm 22 a graduate still look up to my moma for food I don't go out cause of all this frustration. sometime I go back to my room and cry. I know you guys have something to say but mind you I live in local area, no work, job not even manual labour but I still give thanks to God. maybe after nysc my life cab turn around.
though I wish I start something online but my phone only equipped with 1g ram to run chrome is a problem.
now back to the subject of the matter, I still remember that I I did manual labour to the extent that my alias back then "Chief labourer". gain a lot of experience from this shīt.


sometime got slapped by a bricklayer

got six pack without any form of workout

lifting of bag of cement with teeth( interview to evaluate how competent you are and sometime when you do they won't consider you because they belief you can make away with cement with ease)

and sometime we work from 7am - 7pm no break for N800

hawking just don't mention this shit


clearing bush, I'm not talking about grass this time around. never done it before so for me to cope with those that are already expert in the field, I took tm that is how started the shit.

clearing of site (fall trees, yes big trees.)

I did a lot of thing that are odd and yet here I'm frustrate.

sometime when I look back I just smile, not because I made it but for the fact that I'm still alive. I don't blame God, I only thank him for the life I have today.

Immediately a lady asked another lady to drop her account number, I figured it'll eventually turn to a begging thread. The lady that was given a token didn't ask for money oh... She asked for a job and she was lucky to get some cash.

Those guys begging should stop it or create another thread. We all know life is hard but reading how y'all just dropping account number is very annoying smiley

Psoul:
Wen the road started getting very rough, I brought out the desktop computer in my house. I was able to get a Photocopying machine at the rate N178,000.
Used it to start a micro business center. I tried to make a very big difference from what are obtainable from other centers. My customer relations was powerful. As a graduate, many ppl will be shocked wen they enter the shop and tell me that they want to type or photocopy some documents and see that I am the one to attend to them. They will be like; Oga are u the one here?

My typing and speed was so fantastic with minimum area. Ple started patronizing me so much. They were even advertising for me especially the university undergraduates. They will tell others that u just go there, tell the man what u want and he will give u a perfect job. Many of them started leaving the University environment to look for me at my shop.
Soon, the shop became Project and Assignment center. They will bring their assignments, irrespective of the course, I will research on it and build up the assignment and collect my cash. Same with projects. They will supply their project topics and I will build up the whole projects. The center became so popular that i had to employ more hands.
I so much love the job then cos it made me to read so much and gathered so much information from so many different field of study as i was researchin for many students to make my money.

Many others like Barristers and Local Government high Officers even started patronizing my center due to the near perfection job and high level of confidence we exude.

I made so much money from the center and also was training people on computer. I compiled many handouts on MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Corel Draw etc which I sold to those I trained and also made my cash from there. My center became so popular.

This biz was a contribution to my success history.
may God continue to lift you up higher dear.
and protect you abundantly.

I got admission immediately after my sec sch. After service, I worked at a primary sch for a 10k job. Then got a job with land and survey but was let go sometime in 2015. I had already saved enough money. Now I have a fish farm,poultry farm and a bet9ja shop. I earn approximately 250-300 every week no jokes. Only my betshop gives me 180k-200k every week. I haven't looked for a job ever since. Not a millionaire yet but I will be in a giffy. God has been faithful!

Inspiring. Glory be to God.
I'm an undergraduate. I spend my holidays in Abj. During this time I virtually do nothing. Sometimes 1 or 2 jobs are done. I'd like work with you during holz if possible.
