Please Guys I'm in need of a job and I live in Festac Lagos. I'm an S.S.C.E holder. Anyone that has or knows any job available for me in my location of close by should please help me. My number is 0-9-0-2-1-3-9-2-9-2-7

I heard there re many electronics showroom in Festac seeking vacancy.
I don't know how true this is but a friend of mine who passed around that side late last month told me about it.

Tho I plan coming sometime this week to check it out but I don't know if you have an idea if there are vacancy board around there

erai30:
I hope he gets to think of the advantages and disadvantages, because you can't be borrowing money to pay transport to work when you are a worker. No be all work man get to do, because you don't want to seen as lazy, this is why employers subject their employees to modern slavery.

💯

youngsahito:
let him take it and he can get an apartment close to the office. Job no easy to get in 9ja not to talk of been picky.

This is the painful mindset and orientation that has been has got us where we are. We have choices please, know your worth in the corporate world, increase your value. Employees dey reject offers on a steady, employers are scaling up to ensure an employee is engaged. This mindset can't get you far
My guy. Work dey this same country, better work myguy, just pray for connect and update.

Fiscus105:



In the absence of none, let him try it for at least 3 months. Atimes, undisclosed money (legal or illegal) that one will be getting in a job might even more than the salary


Doing the job may also give him opportunity to get connection of a better offer in other companies.

This was the main reason I stayed up till 9 month in my previous job tho 60% of the money was legally but the illegal money comes in big chunk and not that frequent.

PapaNnamdi:
A friend of mine just got a job offer,

So I am asking people that work here, is it ok for an employee to use 50% of his salary on transportation alone??

Does he currently have a job?

Let him try first you never can tell he might be able to cope or sort himself out with a nearby accommodation or better alternative to what you are thinking.... Otherwise na body go tell am to quit or continue

Where is the location? Can you ask him so I can go and check?

The problem is that the cost of transportation will take half the salary by the end of the month aside feeding and other expenses,
I want to tell him not to bother as he will be frustrated on the job but don't know the right words and I feel I may be wrong.

Why not him start the job first and later make arrangement on where to be sleeping around the company's environments and probably go home only on weekends.

I know of people in Lagos mainland "like ikorodu" working in the Island. Most of them go to work and do come back home weekends

But if he can't, them let him focus on getting experience for now and forget about the money. If the company is a carrier growing company, he will be the one to enjoy it later

Maybe when I see him cos from what he told me, he was in a bus driving pass Festac and I'm sure it's along the expressway

Had same issue last year, but now transport ain't an issue

Increase your value na by investing in your brain and skills ooh. All the bolded are true.

All I have to tell your friend is that, he should stay away from a relationship because I’m sure the salary isn’t up to 80k.

So if he spends half of his salary on just transport, how would he take good care of his girlfriend .

He shouldn’t come and put someone’s daughter in abject poverty Biko!!

Why will the girl be depending on her. Can't we have a working lady that can also assist him till he is stable?

Women and receiving mentality.

Let him take up the job offer

To see job for Naija no dey easy

Nigerian ladies mentality, why should a lady depend on her boy friend for survival? This mindset of ladies in this Country is totally wrong.

The kind story wey i dey hear from naija sometimes dey tire me. Half of his salary on T fare alone. That also means he will be spending a lot of time in traffic. Graduates doing menial jobs. A lot of poor struggling people here on nairaland shouting up and down. Nawa.

If it is his first job, he should take it. He might be surprised at what will happen along the line. I got a salary increase after 3 months of working, I wasn't even expecting it. Just take it and start.

We're talking about real life issues but ur only concern is how he will take care of another fully grown adult because she has a vagina When will u have sense this girl. Funny how u broke girls are the loudest when it comes to broke shaming guys at the slightest... very funny 😂

It will also give him more working experience for better offers

Etranshub:
Its not OK to spend 50% of your income on transportation but it is better than sitting idle with 0% income to show for it and depending on other people for feeding.... Let him start from there it will eventually open door to other bigger offers

Your friend or you that need our advice? I will advise you to take the job for now and while you or your friend is at the job, keep searching for better offer elsewhere . Start with something

You think 9ja employers consider all these things when paying salary? They expect you to be working and still be begging

Why would anyone take on a liability like "someone's daughter" who's in abject poverty.

biko, was I talking to you? abi are you the friend the op is talking about?

Mtcheeew!!

Aunty thanks for the advice.

But... are you trying to tell us that every lady is a gold digger whose only interest in a relationship is what to get from the man and how to turn the man to her personal atm machine without giving something of equal value back?

Who says he cant have a girl friend who is financially okay and doesn't need his money or is there something i don't know about ladies?

In this age of 'equality' and women empowerment don't you think there is something wrong with this entitlement mindset that most ladies are still having?
