I finished secondary school at 16 and I started teaching in a primary school and I was paid 7k monthly till I was 17 years old and I got admission to do a 5 years course. During the strike in 2013, I went back to teaching in that primary school in the day time and one adult school in the evening (I was paid N150/lecture hour). In my 300l , I used the money I saved up to buy a printer and I started doing student registration and payment of school fees in my hostel....business failed but I am thankful for the experience.
After my university defense, I applied and got a teaching job in a secondary school and I did incredibly well, I taught there till I went for NYSC in 2018 . During my NYSC , I learnt how to sew clothes and after that I returned to my family house in November last year and I have been at home sewing while applying for jobs.
I want to own a standard private school ,a standard fashion school as well as go into real estate . I have big dreams and I know I will make it soon.

I Completed university at 21 . (2006)

The Job I desired was not Forth coming so I had to do the Job I didn't desire. As long as it brought in some cash! I also gain some great knowledge that has helped me and many others

I also improved myself with some Certifications ( Nebosh, Nhs, etc)

I later Resigned and had some good business dealings with my a relation.. All these things were totally outside my Course of Study (Accounting)

At a time I sold Arduino uno Pc and all that programming stuff with no Fore knowledge and Experience. But it was great!

By GOD'S Grace and Help I Relocated out of the Country!

I am still a Work in Progress !

When I look back , I have Great Reason to say THANK YOU PRECIOUS FATHER!


The few facts I know is
1. Knowing and Trusting JESUS Eliminates Many Struggles in Life.

2. Don't live life To please People! The Moment what you do is pleasing to GOD , carry on

3. Don't always follow the Multitude or Majority! The Multitude most times are Wrong. Follow what GOD'S word says and those who share similar belief.

4. Fornication is a Crippler of Destiny! It takes you back and down the pit. ( I say this From personal Experience)

5. No Matter how Friends Give up on you, do not Give up on yourself..



Thanks

My own case is nothing to write home about.
I'm in my late twenties and this month will make it exactly one year that I completed my youth service. To cut the long story short, I've been sitting down at home for close to a year now doing nothing. I'm still roaming around the streets of abuja submitting CV but no positive response. I've search for menial jobs non is forth coming. I intend starting a business but no capital, learning a skill from anywhere now involves you to pay money for apprenticeship. The worst of it all is that my family members don't even care weather I'm still alive or dead. I'm scouting with someone right down and I'm sure the person will be tired of me soon. Suicide thoughts is just coming to my mind every time. I'm willing to start small but that small self no won gree start o. I'm fed up with life.

I understand how painful it must have been...but you still need to try again....You'll live to tell tales of success in the years to come.
before then I had put in money to a kinda network biz and that one too went like that and I felt mayb cos I was dealing with a young guy and u know most young guys and girls like me are not trust worthy although I believe I’m an exception. So this time around I tot okay this biz is not the networking biz and this man is such an advanced man and wouldn’t want to fall his hand for a small girl like me. I mean I’m in my 20s and dis man is close to his 50s and he has seen millions so he’s likely not to get carried away with my hundred of thousands Atleast that’s wat I tot. And den just for d first supply he messed everything up and didn’t even return Atleast half of d money. So that has made me scared. First I’m scared cos both the young and old are the same thing and den I’m scared cos I feel well mayb I’m not meant to do bizness.

I've never been jobless.

Left secondary when I was 16. I spent four years at home working as a sales girl, saving for Uni, and helping my dad out with my salary sometimes.


Entered University, started side jobs while schooling. Editing people's novels for small fee. Working as a sales girl during ASUU strike and vacation.

In my third year, I got a steady job writing for a blog daily. My start pay was 25k monthly. With that I was able to pay my outstanding school fees, textbooks and final year clearance. Luckily it was during the free education period of 2013-2019.

Graduated last year. Since then, I've not had to apply for any job. Still doing that writing job (40k now) and also handling my own blog.

Hopefully by 2021 I'd have saved enough to leave Nigeria for masters.

Bro,There’s always light at the end of the tunnel and I have got this saying bout life whenever life hits us the hardest from that point on it would only get better....don’t get desperate and don’t despair a lot of people are going through stuffs like you you’re not alone just channel your energy into positive thoughts and productive endeavors do an analysis yourstrength,your skills and your ability don’t be too proud,shy or afraid to start small just keep at something...and also if you’re a great believer in God speak to him he listens and I believe he’s gonna light up your path..there’s always something for everyone of US we just have to find that one thing and run with it and lastly stay upright,stay clean and Legit there’s always a reward for such existence without having to fear no consequences don’t delve into anything that’s gonna give you a troubled conscience and a war with your soul or make you look over your back cos at the end of the day it’s not worth it.life and existence is just a mirage we should do our best to be happy,enjoy it,be fulfilled and make the most of it before we hear the Call it’s too mundane to live it extremely!May the heavenly force be with you Bro
Thanks brother, I really appreciate it. It's just that everything be am so hard all of a sudden.
Thanks anyway, I believe there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Same thing happened to me. It's almost impossible to find trustworthy people in our today's world. It almost became a police case. Didn't even get to recover all of my money. People with conscience are very few these days.
I didn’t even get any penny. I didn’t want that . Someone even said I should go to his wife cos she works with first bank in that area. I even wanted to get my friends in d social media space involved to drag his name on social media and troll him but mehnnnn that’s too much drama Nd I don’t like dramas . I do my best to avoid dramas. Now I know why some people go as far as killing someone who derailed in bizness. But Godforbid that I do it. It’s over one year and I’ve let it go but now I’m scared of going into any bizness at all. I feel like I won’t do well or I might b swindled.

Don't do fraud. It may look exciting at first. Bible says, stolen waters are sweet, but at the end, the mouth would be full of gravel. Have hope, your skill and certificate would pay you

people will always tell you to start small and stop thinking of that dream job. But you need something to start small. I'm willing to start small even if is starting with a security job or cleaner, at last last them go tell you say you no get experience for the job. its really frustrating man.

My intent as the sport season is resuming is to invest 100k into sport betting.

I will divide the 100k into 10 places and stake odd of 0.1 daily which will give me 1k profit per stake.

With 100k, I will be making 10k profit daily. The chance of 0.1 odd losing is extremely low
