I don't know if this is the right section to post this, if not, mod please take it to the right section.

My online brothers and sisters, help me thank God for preserving my life as I almost left this wicked world last Friday, 13th January, 2023. 13th January has become a day I will never forget in life. Since I graduated from the university, I am yet to get a job that is well-deserving of my status. I'm not talking about big jobs with heavy remuneration (not as though I won't grab it if I see one of such) but just something to earn a living from. The last salaried job I did was a contract job which lasted only 6 months. Since then, despite my efforts, applying to every nook and cranny to land a job, I have been unlucky. However, I still keep hope alive.

However, it makes me think Nigeria really need to redefine and re-axamine the value of education in the country and what it stands for. Does it stand for nation building or for frustration? That is something for another day BTW.

Back to the topic, so with a woman and two kids to take care of, I had to go do labourer job at a construction site to earn something. That Friday was my second day in the place. I never thought it would end in disaster but I thank God that even after falling from such a distance, I didn't die, neither the mason man that was on the scaffold.

The thing is that I was carrying mortar and blocks to the mason, climbing using ladder. You know this local scaffold builders use. That thing they nailed together as V 'abi' L, place them on the wall and put planks on top to stand on. I don't know what happened that the blocks put at one end to weigh its balance failed while I was already up there. Long story short, everything collapsed and that was how we landed on the ground from the finishing end of the building. It should be a distance of 12 feet or more.

What worsened the case was the mason. As the scaffold collapsed, he immediately and unconsciously grabbed the newly laid blocks in safety attempt, not remembering he just laid those blocks. You know that kind thing. Landing on ground, that was how those blocks came upon us in their number like some sort of blast. To top it all, I didn't earn a penny that day. The man is even blaming us for the collapse.

I sustained injuries but my waist especially seems to have dislocated as a result of hitting it on ground while landin. I have been feeling sharp pains from the inside since then.

Since that Friday, I have been down physically and psychologically. As I am reflecting on it today, I decided to write it down.

No matter how it has affected me, physically, psychologically, economically and health-wise, I still thank God for sparing my life and I want you to join me in thanking him.

Thank you for reading also.

God will continue to help and strengthen you.

Damn sorry op. You really write so well. Have you considered taking up a career that involves writing. I know it will not pay much but at least I am sure it will pay better than the bricklaying job

Which career Involves writing, can you shed more light on this?

And the OP writes well. OP give a serious thought to writing. If you have the remarkable ability to understand and explain complex things, you might consider technical writing. It's gonna pay you very well.

However, if you feel family demands and responsibilities will not allow you to be patient enough with it, then you could consider getting a keke maruwa hire purchase, or maybe a Toyota(hire purchase) and use it for uber/taxify. That's if you can drive. At least this will keep you going. Sorry for the accident.

Abeg let me know about this writing job and what's d remuneration like?

Sorry about that, just pray for the almighty to open a way, believe and pray together with your wife. I am confident something will happen. Try also persuading ur wife understand the need to also get handwork doing too in oder to assist you. Even if plaiting,

Then you get closer to God, ask for help on nairaland , any who is willing to help you out with a job to survive your family. I pray may the lord be with you. But God pass am sha

It pains me that in a bid to struggle for what the fam will eat, that's where Satan thought it good to erase you off.

Labour job is no easy job. Since you are educated, at least find a teaching job in a secondary school near you and manage that while you keep finding a better job.

I know what this looks like.

My heart just melted when I saw the headline. I have been in the same line! Thank God I never sustained much injuries. The thing is there was this day, I went for concrete casting and while it was raining , I tried to carry a bucket of it and the thing hit the ground! While I was still trying to carry the bucket, the contents split out and entered my eyes! That day, I felt dead because I couldn't see. Thank God for my colleague that led me by holding my hands. I just told him, "Guy, abeg spend all this money on drugs!" Because the only thing on my mind was to get well.

Now, talking about assisting bricklayers as a labourer, that is the work I hate most! Some of them can be lazy, bad-mouthed or careless and when anything happens, both of you will bear the consequence.

On the day that a whole lot of cement entered my eyes, I was afraid because I thought the thing would become stiff there! I thank God at last, the cement later gave way for tears.

WHAT I DO?

After I discovered that a Mason man can earn N16,000.00 in a day and pay his labourer N3,000.00, I went in a rage to find my own jobs like Filling of block holes, filling of foundations before concrete casting for german floor, compound levelling, concrete floor assistant, recommendation of water seal cement, assisting with blocks only, digging of soak away pits, concreting (at times) and digging of foundation proper!

In all these, you just discuss with the Owner or Engineer on how much he should pay you before you start work and not depend on any mason! While online, I recommend Pwan Homes products and try to blog about my experience on www.adulpted.com though, I hope to move to www.turbanglu.com soon with more potentials.

Recently, I got home to rest for sometime and would like to continue soon. Meanwhile, I am a graduate of Microbiology and would like to land a job soon or further.

I am still thanking God for Nairaland because it connects me to useful information. THANKS TO THOSE WHO GAVE AND OP, MAY GOD KEEP YOU ALIVE.

TO EXPAND MORE:

I don't usually do concrete casting because once you get there, they see you as someone who would want to cheat like others by removing 2 buckets of sand out of 11 while measuring.

I hope to make money online because it's easier!

I am patient.
