The year 2023 started on a tumultuous note for me, as I found myself resigning from my job without a replacement. The toxicity of the workplace had taken a toll on my well-being, and I knew I had to make a change. Little did I know that this decision would lead me on a rollercoaster ride through the streets of Abuja, in search of new opportunities. This is the story of how I faced adversity head-on, battled through joblessness, and ultimately discovered the power of faith, hope, and unexpected blessings.

Struggles and Survival:
As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, I found myself in a constant state of uncertainty. March was a particularly challenging month, as my savings dwindled and I struggled to make ends meet. Basic necessities like getting a hairdo or buying skincare products became distant luxuries. I lived from hand to mouth, relying on the support of friends and family. It was a humbling experience, where every day felt like a battle against hunger, frustration, and despair.

A Beacon of Light:
During my self-imposed exile from the corporate world, I chanced upon the TIIDELab prefellowship and with a mix of excitement and apprehension, I applied and was granted admission TIIDELab became my guiding light in the midst of joblessness. Each day brought new knowledge, challenges, and the motivation to push beyond my limits. Depression and frustration, which had once consumed me, began to dissipate as I embraced the endless possibilities of the tech world.

Blessings and Breakthroughs:
In the darkest moments, when all hope seemed lost, I discovered the unwavering faithfulness of God. He began to orchestrate divine connections and send helpers my way, individuals who believed in my potential and offered assistance without me even asking. It was nothing short of miraculous. And then came the life-altering moments — a first-time airplane journey. It may seem insignificant to some, but for me, it symbolized breaking free from limitations and defying the odds. Moreover, I became the first in my nuclear family, and one of the few in my extended family, to experience air travel — a groundbreaking achievement that shattered generational barriers.

A Testament to God’s Faithfulness:
As my tech journey progressed, I constantly battled laptop issues. But in a beautiful twist of fate, I can proudly proclaim that I am now the owner of a MacBook, a gift bestowed upon me through the grace of God. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of challenges, God’s provision surpasses our expectations. It’s a testimony to the mantra I hold dear, “What God cannot do, does not exist!”

My journey through the rough terrains of joblessness and uncertainty has taught me invaluable lessons. It has shown me the resilience of the human spirit, the power of faith, and the blessings that await us on the other side of our struggles. Life may not always unfold as we anticipate, but if we persevere and trust in a higher power, miracles can happen.

Tell us how you've excelled and how others can learn from it, you are telling empty stories.

From the tone of her write up you can clearly see her inclinations towards divinity. So, this is more or less a testimony. Be kind with your words and shove the vile attitude

Infinity7:

Oga, you don't have to be this Harsh. How would you like it if someone did this to you?

chuksanambra:


Yes. Do it to me if I'm yarning dust.

Every success has a process. If someone cannot trace the process but is shouting grace, favour and all, you are dealing with a deceiver.

In the darkest moments, when all hope seemed lost, I discovered the unwavering faithfulness of God.

Then, it should be in the Religious section and not here. You are just being emotional, you didn't learn anything new from her writeup.

There was a time a popular female billionaire was invited to talk on career. She was just rambling about favour and grace and all what not with no single sensible mention of effort. Well, she was gifted her major money spinner, so she couldn't offer anything sensible.

Let's learn to say the truth in this country and stop celebrating mediocrity under the guise of grace.
