After NYSC I couldn't get a job right away and I was depressed and suicidal. I once overdosed on aspirin only to be resuscitated at the hospital. I thought about suing the hospital for bringing me back to life against my will and wishes but my lawyer advised me to let go since the case will be tossed out anyway. I decided to use my second chance to make the most of myself and one day give a testimony. I searched nairaland for jobs and applied to many, I eventually got a job at Jumia Travels where I helped with hotel reservations. They paid me 80k a month, not bad. Just 3 months into the job, my female manager and colleagues were hitting on me. They would drool over me and flirt with me. I didn't mind it until my manger who's a married woman with 2 kids invited me over to her house. I refused and she set me up. I ended up losing my job.

I later got another job at a travel agency, helped with flight reservations. Pay was 85k a month. Needless to say that my female co-workers were crushing on me, the other guys were jealous and it resulted in a serious physical altercation between me and another male co-worker. We were both let go.

I scoured nairaland and came across an online freelancer who taught me graphic design and article proofreading, I started earning dollars from fiverr, upwork and many freelancing sites. Money wasn't bad, I was averaging $200 a week. I thought I had made it in life. I worked at my own schedule.

But later I felt like the money wasn't enough, I wanted to buy a new car and a new apartment. I met another friend of mine, Charles, who was a model. Dude was fit with deltoid, pectoralis and back muscles popping. He told me he works out 5 days a week and makes 2 million naira a month. I was shocked. It turned out that Charles was a gigolo, he serviced rich women as well as models on the side. I was jealous, I mean I'm better looking than this guy and women are obsessed with me so why wasn't I using these attributes to my own advantage? I started working out, started rentacock.com, did some grassroot advertising and with word-of-mouth I started getting clients. I ended up making1.5 mil in my first month, and today I easily pull 10 times that.

Moral of the story, stop staying home languishing away and begging for jobs, look around you and provide a service people need. Good luck.

Good evening sir,
I'm very much interested in the online graphic design and article proofreading.

please could you guide me.
thanks in advance

I finished service since April 2017. It hasn't been funny one bit.
I battle depression almost everytime, I've contemplated suicide. Sometimes, I wish I don't wake up from sleep. It has been crazy.

It's almost 2years and I've not gotten a job.

I do dropshipping, buying and selling but business hasn't been moving fine. I can count the number of what I've sold since I started.

I even got scammed of my small money this week.

My mum has been really helping but I'm becoming a burden and it's obvious.
Some people around me help sometimes too but not without a price.

I pray God helps me.

May God help us all. Amen

I finished service since 2017 am already into web stuff like a blogger, although and I have learnt how to make sites appear on search engines and also draw traffic.
I have not bothered sending one CV ever since I just don't want the headech or don't know how to lol. Mind you I have job directory page grin but no job funny.
i know nothing comes easy but prefer a shop where I could sell things rather than hustling for 100k job.

Although blogging has it ups and down but there are times it pays super and there are times it does little be it as it may its sustainable like there are times or months making 600k there are months makes 200 to 100k, it all depends.


Please note : blogging is not easy, an average blog takes 4 to 5 months to bring anything tangible. And you must have a clear path as in good content that should not be plagiarism like you going over pages to copy and paste... I mean real information resource page.

Edited
Pix attached

Everyone must not be a Lindaikeji but I could still be me in my small corner and still not beg grin.

Note the term blogging is not all about talking about gossip you could talk about products like skincare, phones, fashion, creams, bags, anything or services like how to do this, make videos just anything. Then you stick with that niche. You can talk about comedy like little Emmanuella they got millions of page views on YouTube... Let me tell you they are raking millions... Honestly millions monthly.


You don't need to contact anyone because there are thousands and millions of resources online to make it big in blogging, there are videos on YouTube. Once you have the patient and a good writer fire on

I swear it hasn't been easy. Passed out last year... And from my observation, teaching job is the only available job in the country, I've taught in almost 6 schools since I finished service... Right now am into graphics designing, I can boost of 10- 15 k weekly.. Although I still geography in a secondary school.. So roughly every month I earn roughly 50 to 60...
I swear it wasn't easy at first... But my advice for any undergraduate and graduate, equip yourself with a skill..

OkaNaUbe:
With all sense of humility do I say that I planned my graduation. I told myself never to graduate and go home and start looking for jobs.

I started using my computer skills (In those days, we went to computer school to learn MS Office Suite, CorelDraw etc) and I did private home computer tutor from 200L. I also did tutorials for "Pre Degree" students and raised money to buy a car for taxi in my final year.

Everyday, I used to get N2500 from my drivers (most of them de f-up) and with time, they don't give me complete returns and I occasionally drive in the evenings and still get N2000- 11000(yes, some days are good) from 5pm -11pm.
After all these, I still got a 2:1 wink


The taxi business kept me going through my NYSC days (during which I bought another cleaner car after selling the first one) and it was my first job from Final year to two years after graduation. Whenever we went for CDS or to my PPA, ladies liked me to drop them off with my clean car with A/C but I told them my story and most was endeared to me.
I later became an entrepreneur till date.

I can do any legit stuff to make side incomes too.

I never went home from university. I was self employed before I finished and now a role model to my younger ones.

Let me give undergraduates a little tip of how to prepare for life from University. It is no more news that school may not teach you how to make money. Try from year 1 to:
1. Dress modestly, don't go for fashion and trendy gadgets but have the necessities you need
and don't womanise (most have or will marry already working guys)

2. Keep friends who are working to excel in school and those who have businesses ideas (I am not talking of yahoo or betting).
3. If your parents gives you good pocket money or you can lie that you buy "thermometer" all the time just to have money, save more but don't suffer your life.
4. GET AS MANY SCHOLARSHIPS as you can get (I didn't enjoy this but my close friend did but wasted the money). Agbami pays Engineering and Science undergraduates N350k while Medical Students get N450k yearly. Shell pays N100k , Shevron etc. It is not a must that you will get it but try. Again, these companies select people from oil producing areas then National merit. With good guidance from a scholarship agent like (google GMASS Port Harcourt), you stand a good chance.

My friend raked a minimum of N1.5m (Agbami paid him N350k and shell paid him N100k multiplied by four yrs - do the maths)

Swallow your pride. I know a school mate who goes to far away places to buy garri, etc and supply to market women at a good profit. That man later had two campus shuttles. You can open a video game shop/bet shop (don't play bet o) etc. Think of a need and fill it.

Finally, I always tell undergraduates (boys mostly cos man life no easy) to save at least N250,000 before graduation and equally have a good business (no matter how small) you can do after school.


If your papa na Dangote or Ote$, you MAY ignore this but even at that, don't rely on family wealth.

well it hasn't been easy, I should have been done with school but will be done this April by God's grace but I'd like to share my experience, dad died many years ago, things went sour. I finally gained admission, family members render the little help they can, I started selling clothes, oil and doing part-time job from 300 Level, last year I was able to save about 100k, I have saved money in advance for my NYSC so I can save the monthly allawee for a year, ill also look for a business i can do while i am there, by the time I'll be done with service I should have saved nothing less than 300k,. I intend going into business with that money, the little farming I can do with it, I am a furniture making apprentice already, I might take a side job to fall back on, save up and invest in agriculture and real estate. it hasn't been easy and isn't always going to be easy but this girl typing this must make it, I no fit dey jobless, do runs or steal and I know with God, hard work, perseverance, a good saving mindset things will be well. I can't even deal with poverty, had enough of it. Don't wait for the government, work on yourself, get a skill, a side job, save up, invest and believe God for the best!
