Next time beforehand take 2 tab of panadol and again every 3hrs while the job is on. Its all u need to last a day of tedious labor and have no pains later. Do this as a gentleman.. But Ur mates u saw doing it effortlessly use tramadol or splif to tilt the odds.

That guy that saved you. Look for him and thank him.. . He is God s angel watching over you


And have kidney failure in 10 years time.
That job is one thing I cannot do abeg.
I can not come and mortgage my tomorrow because of 2000 per days job.

First time I did it, I vowed never to try that shit again in my life

Panadol every 3hrs.You money he will realise from the job in one year even if he becomes supervisor won't be enough to restore his liver when the liver finally packs. Be mindful of the advices you dish out

Last friday evening, my friend in the hood called me on phone to inform me of a job opening in an ongoing construction site somewhere around Agbara (Lagos).

He told me the pay is 2,300 per day depending on if you were able to finish the day's job.

I told him i was interested (no choice for a broke man) and asked him when we are to leave for the place. He said we'll leave for Agbara the next day early in the morning to get there on time and start with others.

'No wahala', I said.

We set off the next morning and got there before 7 or thereabouts. When the supervisor saw me said, 'oboy as you dey lenge lenge (slim) like this, you sure say you go fit do this kind work so??'

I told him i could. Shey no be my mates dey do am?

I started the work which was carrying mixed concrete and sand up into the second floor of the building.

The work no easy o. I wan die true to God but i just chinned up and continued. I worked like this till afternoon.

My body was telling me to stop but i continued being that i wanted my full pay for the day then something happened.

As i was climbing up the scaffolded stairs, my limbs had become weak and my eyes dazed, i had no energy left again to climb up to the second floor so while trying to muster up energy as i climbed, I mis-stepped my footings and was about falling off the stairs down to the ground laden with bamboo, nails, stones and co far below but was saved by the hand of another worker coming up the stairs behind me. He had already noticed my fatigue and signs of faint feeling.

My headpan had already crashed down the ground.

I wonder what would have happened to me. Probably would have died.

The supervisor heard of it and was furious, lambasting me saying,' shebi i tell you say you no fit do this work? Na so you for put me for trouble.Oya dey go house now now, he said as he put his hands in his pocket and brought out 1400 as my payment.

I protested and demanded my full payment but he wasn't listening and was threatening to call the police.

I left the place, went home and used half the money to treat the sprain and pains i was feeling all over my body.


Hmmmmm!
Even after working your heart out in other to earn just #2300 only, some girls will still call to demand an urgent 2k from you.
May God continue to bless all hustlers out there and may those ladies that won't needing urgent 2k continue to receive more sense so that they'll realize that money ain't easy to come by.

You reminds me of a sad memory. Ordinary filling of gravels(medium size with hand) was what I went for as I thought it would be easier being a first timer.
I don't even know when I told the supervisor that I'm not doing again after working restlessly for 4hours. cry
Funny enough, Despite wearing gloves, I couldn't access my phone with finger print for over 24 hours.
Very bad experience it was. grin
Earning legally isn't easy. May God ease our affairs!

MrOjay1:




Thanks brother.

I'm still a student at UNN so i'm thinking i may not have the time to fully go under someone as an apprentice.
I just felt i had to do something to get money for my needs.There is no money coming in from anywhere.
Re: My Near Death Experience While Working As A Mason by Sollykay41(m): 11:30pm On Aug 04, 2020

Re: My Near Death Experience While Working As A Mason by Dayoebe(m): 11:47pm On Aug 04, 2020
Reading this thread, I am feeling remorseful and crying for myself. The first day I did this kind work five years ago. I remember I couldn't walk properly for weeks.

Even as I enter university, I thought I won't have to do this anymore, na lie
so far so good, I've done it like 20 times now, next project is tomorrow. sad
In as much as I don't beg for money. God will always empower me

My brother, Bricklaying no easy o. Unfortunate part of it is that max amount they pay here is 1,200 per day
Where am working now, we are given 1k. You even need connection to work.


Edited: abeg if you have any job for me. I know a lot about computing, I was actually doing typist before and during school not until armed robber invaded my lodge carted away my laptop. Since then, I've been trying to save money to buy new one

Lalasticlala abeg show me how to fish. Help your brother

ThankGod today, the story is now different, I now have my own construction site with a supervisor. Baba the future is clear. Nothing do you.

I appreciate God for your life sir.
I humbly need your assistance here.
I do engage in this kind of menial job, but due to my location, am actually underpaid, despite the strenuous exercises involved. I would like to know if there's a way I can work for a little while just to earn money to revive my business before school resumes.

I will appreciate your response to this. Questions will be duly answered as well.
Thanks
