Let me start by saying security job is not my dream job but while I'm very hopeful of getting that dream job someday soon, body and soul need to be put together. An unemployed person with penniless pocket will certainly understand my predicament. The only option is to grab anything provided it can take of your very essential needs. Worse is when you wake up with no food to eat or not even soap to bath with, then you'd realize doing anything is sure better than nothing.

So I got this security job which I resumed yesterday. Could you believe that same yesterday, armed robbers operated in the area. As you know, security or what people call gateman is the one the armed robbers target first when they come to a place.

It was around 3:am when everywhere was quiet, As the security, I did a patrol around the compound when I noticed suspicious noise in the next compound. Before I know, I heard people shouting over there. I stayed back. In less than no time, I saw about 5 people coming straight to my compound. They pointed torch inside. I didn't bother to ask who they were cos I already knew. My people, I didn't even know when I commot for gear run to the backyard of the house, jumped over to the other side which is a bush, breathing like who just escaped death. Unfortunately, I sustained injury while running in the bush. Since the gate of the compound is not high, they jumped over it and gained entry into the compound, but thankfully they couldn't gain access to the house due to burglary after a long while of triaI. Unfortunately for me again, I slept in the bush till this morning.

Now, I learnt robbers operate in the area often. This has further put fear in me. I wouldn't want to be a victim of robbery circumstance because of a job whose salary cannot even meet one's needs.

So I am confused now. Even with the injury, should I go back to the place or not? Presently I don't have anything else doing and I don't have money to sustain myself either. Please what would you advise me?

Note: this happened somewhere in Delta state. I don't want to disclose the location for security reasons.

Such a bad experience and to think it happened first day at work.

Eiya, don't worry God will fulfill your heart desires in no distant time

Sorry about your experience... It was really a tough one for your first day at work!
I pray you get something better soon

You have two options;

Option 1: Lick your wounds and look for another job.

Option 2: Look for somewhere to fortify yourself against bullet (metal weapons in general), It will give you mad ballz and could influence you to become a robber yourself but remember once they find out bullet no dey enter you, na common 2 by 2 kpako go bring your end.

Choose wisely.

So if I should do this, all for security job with meager wage? If I must do that, I will channel it into something more profitable.

According to my name, God never slumber.

Nlfpmod, Seun, Mynd44, Dominique etc

Them no give you gun

Quit the job asap

Bro your area no de safe nah so even if you disclose am to us its still useless

I rather work off my ass than to steal someone's money

No Condition warrant one to steal.

Please find another job. Your life is more important

This your story sound like a script from Nollywood. Sorry for your experience. Find another work.

Option 1 it is then. Good choice, my friend.

Don't be too proud to take up teaching job. Atleast it's More honorable and less risky than security job.

NairalandSon:

Enter Alaka, ask for mama raphael. Tell am make she give you wheel barrow to use hustle for effurun market. Gather 1k every day for her hand for like 4 months. That should be circa 100k. Find wetin to do with am.

Haaa! My brother, biko no go back. It's even good that they were unable to gain entry otherwise police will start arranging you as a suspect. Instead of security that barely pays, go to estate gates of big community and tell them you are looking for same security job or steward job. I used to have a friend at VCG that pays between 30 to 50k for that job as far back as 2017.

Or teaching jobs, or go to companies inside same estate to look for office assistant jobs. The last one I hired in Ikeja was started at 50k. Guy no dey do much o.

Or go to a corporate environment near you and focus on tall buildings that house different companies. Then talk to the security staff there, they usually have knowledge of which company needs a staff of minimal credentials.

Honestly, small small jobs like that full ground, you just need to know how to look ni cos they are not usually advertised as potential fillers aren't required to know how to read and write.

May God bless your hustle....naija and him wahala.
