If you graduate from a university and you come out looking for someone to employ you, then you are one of the problems of this country. With the knowledge and enlightenment you've gained from school, you should be the one employing and empowering people.
There are several businesses one can start building now which requires little capital but with a potential for massive returns in the long run.
you are the most useless piece of shiit we have here! undecided

just because you sacrifice your family members doesn't mean others will.

Thank you very much. Prayers and encouragement from my mum(who single-handedly sponsored my education) are what gives me comfort now. Although it is hard but I am praying, speaking with people and still submitting applications here and there.

Keep doing what you said you're doing.

But please don't pray like the formal sort of way if u want radical result.

Talk to God in a way that will make God, do "huh who's talking like this!!?"

Ask God questions if u like, pray while your lying down or bathing and while pooing...

Your mum's prayer will do very little for you except YOURS.

Also watch what u say to YOURSELF.
Never ever say negative stuffs to yourself...

From the way sound, you want an independent life not being subservient to a man to get a life.
Good news! You can get!
Tell it to God first.
Make it heart to heart talk.
Remember, in ur situation, very formal prayer is of little use.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND LET ANY HELPER WHO COMES ACROSS YOU SEE YOU WANT A LIFE NOT PIES.

Four years now after graduation. Studied Political Science (2.1). I am having a real hard time due to my present condition. Sometimes, I feel worthless and of no use.

Needs like what please? I have tried different businesses right from my 300l at the University and they didn't work out well for reasons due to running capital, low patronage and others. I have sold oranges outside my house, sold coconut candy too, sold chinchin and even peanut burger in different offices in Benin city as well, but had to stop due to high cost of getting raw ingredients and the same low patronage (people complained they don't have extra money for snacks and co). Talking about meeting a need is easy by so many people but in the real world of hustling, it isn't how it is.
Location with high population is very important in food business.

And you need perseverance in any business.

You don't have to reinvent the wheel: you can copy any small scale business that is successful around you.Just open you eyes and your mind .

6 years, for crying out loud someone should help me out. I Pray God continue to bless my farming hustle pending when things will be pure.
@ times, I do feel I have succeeded in wasting my limited resourses and time in the name of getting educated.

OP it took me 2 (two) weeks back then.

Finished Law School in Nigeria - I was going by flight to Abuja for the call to bar ceremony.

I just asked the young lady in front of my seat if she was going to Bwari as well - as I needed company in the chartered taxi.

Turns out she was 10 years at the bar already! And was working with the Securities & Exchange Commission. OMG she looks so young, even till date, you will never tell.

Long story short we exchanged contact. Told her I needed a job in Abuja and I wanted to run away from the hussle and bustle of lagos.

She asked me to send my CV. OP, this woman sent my CV to almost all the Big Corporate Law Firms in Nigeria - and I got emails from about 5 of them. It was now just a matter of choice for me - but I later decided to settle fr Lagos because that was where the real Banking & Finance legal works was really Practiced.

Might I add that I Made First Class both in my Under grad (LLB) and at the Nigerian Law School (BL) - so perhaps that was a factor.

Moral:
Always be confident to speak with people about your job need, even the person sitting next to you in church - in a bus - restaurant etc. But I guess again it's boils down to your conversation and social skills. There are books you can get online on how to improve your social skills (see e.g. How To Win Friends and influence People by Dale Carnegie).

This approach helped me a lot when I was seeking internships back then - in some instances, I literally sent random Inmail to industry experts in my field on LinkedIn. Many times the traditional online applications and sending of CVs just may not be enough.

Hope this helps someone out there. Thanks smiley


Awesome!

I will also be done with my law school program by next year, can you also put a smile on my face by getting your learned junior a job too?

Mo ti soro soke o.

When you were doing low paying jobs, were you relying on your parents or something?
Not really...financial support from my parents stopped soon as I graduated from uni.

Lol. UK. If you don't behave me, I will not be surprised, many people think northerners are guaranteed a government job upon graduation but here am I. You know (I am sure) that Nigeria is screwed up but if as a southerner you hear my story, you'd have a clearer picture of how bleeped up it is.
