You could try apply to the Big 4 since you are 26 and finished with a 2:1. Keep the faith and continue to apply online. May the odds be in your favor.

Please, what is a Big 4??

Young girls never learn

Take responsibility for you sexual wellbeing. First thing to master well is your reproductive cycle.There are periods in your cycle that are safe and some days are not safe.Master it well.
It is still possible to get pregnant any day of your cycle so have a back up plan.If your partner won't use a condome,you get a femdom.Get a spermicide or use a morning after pill or just get on long term contraception if you will regularly have sex.

Anyway,Op,it's a new account so....

The deed has been done, and the product evident.
If you have nothing encouraging to say or solutions to proffer, kindly keep your thoughts to yourself.
Things are difficult enough for her as it is, don't make it worse.
People with comments like yours and those who agree with them are emotionally detached.
They're incapable of empathy.
They only reason logically.

Hmmmm...it is well.

I'm sorry about what you've been through, it must have been hard. But I'm more worried about you as a grown up woman who is a graduate but unable to find a job that at least pays the minimum wage despite finishing with a 2:1. Its been three years now that you finished NYSC, yet....

Your aunty would be bitter towards you darling, cos you and your kid have been living off her...contributing to her expenses. Hian! She's been helping you even though you think she's a big woman who earns well, doesn't want to help and unmarried grin. Yet, your baby is 4yrs old...calculate how much she must have spent on you and the child despite being embittered.

Anyways, please start trying to develop yourself even if its just through reading or youtube videos to improve your employability while we hope something nice falls on your laps soon. I know someone who has been trying to fill 5 sales slots for the past one month...interviews full ground, better candidate hard to find. May God help us all.

Exactly!

@Op, forget about your aunt. You have to take control of your situation.
You have to do whatever and all that you can for you and your baby. Brace yourself because it is not going to be easy, but you're stronger than you think.
Apart from your degree, do you have any skills?Use it if you have.
If you don't have, look for any work no matter how menial it is, as long as it can sustain you and your baby in the mean time. It won't take away what you are.
Look for a place where you can take your baby along (sales' assistant)
Offering private lessons to people's kids is also another option.
Also, be kind to your baby and don't take out your frustrations on her.

My story is a long one, but before I start, I just want you all to know that this is a true story, I am not a scammer. I can provide evidence and sign an agreement/undertaking if the need be.

I am a University graduate, I had a 2:1 in History and Strategic Studies and have completed my Youth Service.

I got pregnant in my final year, second semester for my boyfriend whom I thought loves me, but I was wrong. Our relationship was not really a serious affair as such, I met him in my 2nd year in Enugu. We were only chatting for a while before we first met in my 3rd year again. The relationship was a long-distance thing because he stays in Enugu and I was schooling outside of Enugu.

I can count how many times I have seen him, 6 times. The 6th was when I got pregnant, we have not met for 11 months, I was preoccupied with school and other stuff. Eventually, I visited. Like I knew what will happen, I warned him to use Condom but he said no, that whatever happens, he will take care of me.

I realized I was pregnant after 1 month, called him, but he said I should abort. I went to 2 pharmacies but they objected until I provide him to sign an undertaking. And I was in school, he was in Enugu. I was so scared, confused, and didn't know what to do. See my project coming, see exams, how I managed to scale through with the pregnancy, is still a miracle to me. I could remember carrying 8 months of pregnancy to Taraba State where I was posted for NYSC, I could still remember my swollen legs after the journey.

It was a terrible experience, I won't wish even my worst enemy to go through one bit of what I went through. Even after childbirth, I bleed for 6 weeks as a result of some leftover placenta. The sleepless nights, the cryings, the frustrations, the wretchedness, the shame. The whole time, my boyfriend was not in the picture. He stopped picking my calls. I visited him with my 8 months pregnancy, he sent me away and warned me never to come to look for him.

I have been staying with this aunt of mine all through my pregnancy, even did my NYSC in her house, I was reposted from Camp to Imo State. But it was not easy living with her. She is this person that complains about everything, even the food I eat. She contributed to my frustrations. I won't lie that she has helped me, but it was frustrating because she is too bitter towards me.

I completed my service and relocated to the village to stay with my parents. As of then, my daughter was 8 months old. I was doing all the village chores to survive with my child. But along the line, my mother died of a snake bite when my child was 1 year and 7 months. It was devastating!! I didn't think I could survive it, my mum had been a strong support and I was at peace staying in the village with her. I became a shadow of myself, I started working as a roadside sweeper. Sweeping express road early in the morning.

Things were not easy for me in the village since my mum passed away. I had to travel back to stay with that aunt of mine. God, it was hell living with her. I was enduring every tribulation I faced living in my aunt's house until I couldn't endure it further after a strong misunderstanding where she hauled insults at me calling me names even prostitute and reminding me that she is the one fending for me. I got angry and traveled to Abuja to my girlfriend's with my daughter. Things were not easy there as well, I didn't see any job to do. And no money, I had to travel back to the village.

I resolved to carry my cross the way I saw it. I kept reminding myself that I was paying for the sin of fornication. I was doing village chores and saving small money. I started applying for jobs online until I got a job in Enugu. I took my child to my aunt because there is nothing I could do and no one I could entrust my child with. And I needed to get out of that village that was turning me into an old woman.

So, as bitter as it is, I left my daughter to the aunt that has been a torn to my flesh. I started working in Enugu in a firm, the job came with accommodation. But, bearly working for just 5 months, Covid19 struck, I was laid off from the 20,000 naira job I was managing.

I went back to my aunt and daughter, since the Covid19. I have been Jobless and broke. It is frustrating with my aunt on my head constantly reminding me that I am doing nothing but eating. Sometimes, I starve myself so that she won't complain about the food. She picks at everything I do in the house. My presence irritates her, i don't have peace of mind at all, am scared and afraid.. I have even lost my self-esteem.

I am 26 years old, broke, homeless, no bussiness, and a child. My aunt is a big woman in a federal government job. She has a good job and earns good money but finds it hard to help, she complains and calculates everything she has done for somebody. Staying with her is like staying in hellfire. She is not married.


Please, I need someone to help me with a job that has accommodation and can require me to bring my 4 years daughter along. Please.. Or any suggestions that can help me to be a better version of my self. I need help. This aunt of mine thinks without her, I am nothing, I really want to prove her wrong. As I said, I am ready to provide evidence and sign an agreement if need be.
how old is your aunt? Does she has kids too or not? Maybe she is jealous of you because she is still single at her age and has no child yet.

Your aunt is unmarried and you expect her to feed you and your child without complaining forever? She doesn't have the requisite experience to play the role of a grandma well. She is wondering when she will get married and have her own child too.

Forget about her and find a way to look after yourself and your child.

If that were true, a thread created by you in the romance section with reference to this thread would have been more effective don't you think?
Dude, own your sh!t 'cause you ain't fooling anybody.
Also, desist using people's misfortune to shine. It's insensitive.

I think you're taking his contribution out of context. I personally learnt something from his post. I didn't know there was something called a fendom or femdom, whatever. Will research more now. Like Bukatyne said, we can't all be emotional. And don't you just hate when people create threads to respond to other people's threads when they could easily post it within the initial thread? I think I confused myself.

Let me be going, I am becoming too emotional cry

You see? He would have been able to reach a wider audience had he created a thread instead. His so-called message would have been more effective then. You're just "lucky" to have stumbled upon it.
We can't all be emotional, but we can try to be a bit sensitive. Yeah?

There's nothing wrong with creating a thread to create awareness.
