A toxic boss is a death sentence to your skills.

Maybe try Microverse (Warning be ready, and committed its intensive)

Microverse is an online school for remote software developers, where you don't pay anything until you get hired. What makes Microverse different from other online schools or bootcamps? Microverse helps you learn faster than you could on your own, and you don't pay anything until you've landed a well-paying job.

Before you Do, you can also read up and prastise HTML, CSS and Javascritpt using (MDN) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/.

You can also try Jetbrains academy (depends on your proficiency), but you have to be very proficient in programming, because you would solve problems which can be used to build up your track or profile.

Just a suggestion. cheesy cheesy cheesy

My dear I was in your shoes some years back! I left too, but in my case I didn't have a plan at all. I was soo tired and depressed. Very very toxic place. I will not advice anyone in a toxic workplace to stay. When I left, i didnt know what to do, I used that time to pray like my life depended on it. i really needed a breakthrough. I'm in a much better place now. Thanks be to God.

Since you have passion for barbing, go into it, do you can have a steady income. Toxic bosses can cause you a lot of problem, both health, psychological, emotional and reduce your self esteem. Try and be your own boss.

Good Afternoon Nairalanders,

Please take your time to read my epistles and I really need your advice, last year February I apply for a Job (Office Assistant) but, before I even start the work they've vacant the office so I was told I'll be working at home as an House boy, I accepted without thinking twice because I really needs the job.

Long story short, My boss is the most toxic BOSS I've ever work with my first 2weeks was hell..., He's an abusive man, he'll abuse me curse me join..., I don't want to leave because my uncle that I stay with will think I'm lazy, me looking into his eyes show that he really hate me, I was threatened on daily basis that he will sack me....

This prompt to learn Forex trading thinking it will be a financial freedom, I actually blown my account 3times before I calm down..

I abandoned FX and steps into Cryptocurrency and ever since then, This January I've been building my portfolio which amount to 15 different token I'm holding right now.

I would be leaving this work this December and I've difficulty in choosing a skill to learn, I've been thinking of (barbing) but recently I fall in love with UI/UX designs and I'm planning to give it a shot, leaning App development along with it.

Any other suggestions are welcome, Suggestions of Materials to use too are also welcome. Thanks!

Please teach me that criptocurrency and forex.
Me I have been sick for 4 years I don't go out no means of getting money
But I have a good phone.
I will appreciate it if u will help me by teaching me crypto and forex

Did you not hear of forex and cryptocurrency and how u would become very rich if you go into them? Same way u heard of graphics, UI/UX and programming etc. You are after Money.u shouldn't have anything to do with learning cos it takes time. Look for a business or simple skill u can learn in 3weeks eg driving, barbing, phone and PC repair etc.

Op I will tell you the truth

Toxic bosses kill self confidence, God given ingenuity and creativity

LEAVE BEFORE ALL YOUR POTENTIALS ARE KILLED.its not about having a job when you lack peace,rest of mind and job security.everyday you're never appreciated instead cursed at.that is not a job.if your uncle feels you're lazy,Na him sabi.his opinion of you doesn't determine your destination

Don't let any narcissistic boss that derive irritating joy in killing your spirit.na depression and suicidal tendencies you dey play with o

Continue developing your skills

The latter is a Digital / Online Skill and Online Skill is Bae....there is no better feeling of knowing you alone control your time, resources and earnings without restrictions.
With time you'll build yourself to financial Sufficiency.

Do you know you can even start earning @least $50 - $100 monthly before you are done with the UI/UX training or learning process? It's called Drop-servicing !!!

I went to hospital to do a medical check-up but the results show that I'm physically healthy, while I'm not.
So should I send the results.

Well you alone know how to show proof for your claims of been sick that long....FYI I don't pity rather I prefer to show empathy!

Save your salary. Save up N200k and open your own barbing salon.

All those other things you are mentioning will not give you financial stability immediately.

It takes 6 months to learn barbing if you are serious.

I don't like an abusive boss, but please the fact that you are not self sufficient yet, is real.
I will suggest you ask your parents for advice on what next trade to enter, there is barbing, solar, house wiring, vulcanizer, mechanic. Yes you have graduated and stepping into dirty, grease works like mechanic, might be insult to ones certificate. But seek advice, from parents and friends.
May God bless the labour of you hand.

Most of these online skills just appear like football betting, anybody putting all his trust in them is sore confused.

First; most jobs in naija has its own backside. It's either you're underpaid or you're abused but that's what d system gives. Learning d computer skills u mentioned is a super idea that will definitely pay in future BUT IT NEEDS A LOT OF COMMITMENT.
I will advise u to stick to d work and use d little earn to develop yourself IT wise. Forget about street, it doesn't work for everyone. IT related jobs are needed even in the country where there's no job let alone of overseas. If u suddenly manage to cross border with good IT skills. Your two months pay will surpass that of naija manager's six months pay.
Concentrate on IT, make real friends with IT skills not yahoo guys, invest in IT trust me u will over make it

A lot of people has been in your at one time or the other. Every experience must teach you a life lesson. I will prefer you take UI/UX design as that can change your story if you master the craft. You can work remotely and earn foreign currencies even while in Nigeria. Should power be a challenge to towards achieving that, I sell LiFePO4 powerbank for Laptop with solar, phcn and generator recharging capabilities. We have two sizes, 300WH and 480WH guaranteed to power you for 10hrs, 18 hours respectively. Price goes for 50k and 75k respectively. It can be easily made to work for your lighting, fan,Tv and other basic needs, we are reachable on 0806.53.16307. For more info, pls.check us out on wwwdotcooldipodotcom

Stop lying to him. UI/UX design isn't something you learn in one day or week or month. It has a learning curve, with the least being 6 months. Does he have that time and patience?

To be hired, he also needs to build his portfolio which means he'd have to charge almost peanuts at first to build his profile before getting gigs.

And the competition in UI/UX design as a standalone skill is high. He'd have to learn proper graphics and/or web design to measure up so he can source for gigs locally.

Why would you be so callous to lie to a man who is desperate so you can scam him? Is something wrong with you?
