petitejolie:Heeya! You've been through alot sha....Am sorry about all uve been through in the hands of heartless people...And to be sincere, Am proud of you, coz u are learning....Never let that make u think you are not meant to do business....How about that the only truth of the matter is that you are not meant to businesses you cant execute all by yourself...coz thats the only truth i can see right now... Its not bad to have mentors or people guiding you...but never trust people to that extent...its not safe. in ur future endeavors, do well to make sure u KNOW ALL there is to know about what you are wantu do. its better to ask the questions....Go on the field trips to see things yourself and make your own enquiries..rather than trusting people with ur hard earned savings..Advice is the only thing that is given freely, so the author of a notable book said...Pele...God will strengthen you..Stand up again, and be determined to birth it through this time...You are going places. |

petitejolie: My dear, I read your first comment and the one I quoted, and what I make of it is that you have not come to terms with the real nature of human. Human being are naturally designed to fail and that's why we have laws here and there to cut short some of our excesses. Even God gave Moses the 10 commandments. The cardinal rules for partnership is lengthy but one summary I have for it is that, watch the market you're being lured into before you end up as the stock in trade. Irrespective of age, gender or race, everybody is naturally conditioned to seize 'opportunity' and the meaning/interpretation of that word differs based on so many factors. The crux here is that that experience should leave a positive mark on you and not what I'm perceiving now. It should teach you how to do it differently if presented with another chance (most probably with another person). Who says you can't champion the business on your own. Who says you can't write the proposals to those big companies that uses all the produce you listed as raw materials and strike a deal that will make the man become one of your errands or personal aides? Just make lemonade from the shit life throws at you and trust me, it will look like it's all staged to happen like that in your favour. 2 Likes |

marvelphysics: Pls go and learn programming. If you have the guts, don't disturb yourself about admission if you're really focused. A year or so into your programming class, save some money and write their professional exam or certifications. Provided you're good at it and have some of those certifications, you'll get good jobs better than those that went for BSc or HND. 8 Likes 1 Share |

I decided to jump on this one... Life before getting a job was crazy. I finished NYSC June 2013 and moved to Lagos (I served in Kwara and based in the east before service). I kept looking for a job in Lagos till the end of 2013. I used all my savings on transport and I wasn't successful in getting something to do. I actually failed most of the job tests I wrote even though I prepared very well. This was not funny for me because I was actually good in my university days, I graduated best in my class. Accommodation was a very serious issue for me. I kept moving round family friend's houses in Lagos till I visited my uncle's house who was so nice and I was comfortable staying with. I won't stress what I went through other places I stayed. I stayed in Lagos till December 2014. I traveled to the east for Christmas and never went back to Lagos. I still didn't do anything throughout 2015. I went for interviews too but by then I've given up on job search. I had to pick form for MSc since school was actually a thing I was good at. I got there, became a course Rep and helped the working class in my group to fix assignments and other errands, I got money for my services and I met some nice people too. With that I was able to get busy and pay my fees too. I took the MSc like a job till I was able to secure a job as a lecturer in another University. I skipped a lot of details but it took 4 years and 6 months before I got my first job. I won't say I've made it yet but life is good now. Life in Lagos was the craziest for me but I learnt a lot of lessons about life which guide my daily living till date. I believe everyone will make it... Let's keep struggling, Nigeria has failed us but we won't fail our family. Thanks. 20 Likes |

My story, well I can't just explain. Lots of hardwork and disappointment won't go into full details. I believe it's all God's plan and I will never give up. I'm someone who is academically brilliant. In fact if I was told at a point then that I will be in this current position, I will never believe it.. After I graduated from sec school 2013, 2014 I got admission into a University in Ghana for a four years course.(iT).. things went smoothly as I expected but Towards the start of my 300l second semester, got a call from my dad asking me to come back home that he can't make up for the semester's tuitions fees so I have to defer the semester because of finance. This was the period dollar skyrocketed from N150/$ I think to about N300/$. So I was asked to collect my transcript, which I did..I then applied for a transfer from my Ghana institution to a federal University here in Nigeria. Everything went smoothly and I had to start from 200L. This time the course is 5 years because it's a technology university. I'm Now in my 500L. Finished my one year internship in an oil and gas company this February 2020, I did very perfectly in the interview I wasn't deployed to the department i applied for(according to the learning adviser of the firm). The HR department of the firm had to keep me with them cuz I have vast knowledge of some many things even as I didn't even study Human resources as a course but did some part of management, finance and accounting in school.. I'm suppose to resume back to school April but couldn't because of the pandemic. I'm currently 24 and still lives with my parents..(so sad) Well.. I used the opportunity to learn two things Forex and Mobile app development.. At first i did Forex for a while. So many hours of reading.. I was making reasonable profit but because of insufficient capital to continue I decided to withdraw n save more for later to when I have reasonable capital. I then opted to learning mobile app development and so far it's been fun for me. though , lots of sleepless nights studying n trying to perfect it. I've progressed a lot. In fact I can take jobs online creating just the mobile UI but I refused to because I might stop learning once I start making money from it. So I put in the hard work everyday. I still make little income from hustling in the street. Aside the Forex n mobile app dev. I'm also good in anything concerning computers. Whether hardware or software. I'm gifted as most of my friends say. Never learnt from anybody (I hack systems sometimes, educational purposes only) I use tutorials a lot to learn. Some of my friends do tell me to go into Yahoo that will pay me handsomely but that is never my thing. I just ignore them After I graduate, My Plan A: Currently on a first class CGPA and I have the highest in my department. I pray I finish in flying colours. Heard my school do give scholarships to first class graduate and I'm hoping to capitalise on that so as to further my education to that of Masters and Phd and hope God put a smile on my face afterwards Plan B: is to use my little savings after I graduate as a reasonable capital for my Forex trading and at the same time make Steady income developing mobile apps. I've always don't want to work for anybody. I so much believe in myself n I believe the best investment is investing In yourself.. I know there will be challenges along the line but I pray God sees me through and my dreams of having my own I.T firm comes to past. I just need someone to remind me every day never to give up 21 Likes 1 Share |

I finished secondary sch at 17 that was 2010 and got admission immediately to do an engineering course which I spent five years in doing in a state university and I graduated 2015. Luckily for me,my friend introduced me to blogging immediately and I sourced a loan from my mum for me to be able to push tru,.luckily for me I started getting good money from it and it lasted for my whole service year and after my service in 2017. I picked my MSC form in a federal university 2017 and resumed studies in 2018 while managing the money coming from my blog to feed myself and take care of other needs and of course ball too. During my msc my sch advertised in 2019 and I applied,luckily for me I got employed by my university in Nov 2019.That's where I m but m still hoping for greater opportunities, I HV not applied for work apart from my university work and have never really stayed ideal. The idea is to keep pushing and taking risk .I have made investment mistakes that I regret but am still young life continues ,at 27 the struggle continues till I m financially very stable . 5 Likes |
