I’m 29. 8 years now for me since I passed out. Hasn’t been easy, I’ve never been employed all my life but someway some how I’ve managed to survive and make life easy for myself. I own a car, and several other properties , and I have got an apartment. Hopefully I should start processing my travel papers next year.

My advice, don’t wait for manna from heaven. Make a move and liberate yourself.

seriously?? if you guys continue like this, you will start making people who voted your candidate regret doing so, and this might Even affect his chances of winning come 2027...

What nonsense did you write up there?

Who is his candidate?
Did you vote because of this person's influence over you?!

If you voted without personal conviction, then the joke is on you.

Wake up and make your country work.

...and you're doing it for no one but yourself!

it is 9 years now and counting for me. Finished service in 2015. I stay with my parents in the village now, and I have been their burden for years. Everything just stood still after service year, and the worst was I was unable to save.

Even my hands are tied with no money in my account. I tried to carry block in a block industry, but each labourer together agreed to refuse me that opportunity because they say that I am ajebo, and I don't belong to block industries. I don't know how they find out that I am a book person even though I tried so hard to hide it.

Sometimes I pray for a quick painless death, but everyday God kept providing food for me to eat like as if he doesn't want me to die. But i kept on arguing with him till this day in my prayers. I beg him to take my wretched life painlessly, but it is as if he's enjoying my pains.

Be fast to console your self ,with such long epistle. Your death means nothing to anyone except your family... or you think it is easier for the young boy who slept under the bridge just to escape poverty? Just dey play

WITH ALL HUMILITY

Leave the village to somewhere else. One thing I have discovered in life is that only very few people make it above average at home (village). Except people who went into politics. You must have something inside of you that is valuable and people are ready to pay to see perform it somewhere else. I never thought it twice to relocate to somewhere else after my service year. People who make waves never did that at their home town or village. Even in the Bible; Abraham, Jesus, Joseph, Isaac, Esther...name them. Pray to God for guidance to where you can sow. God bless you.

It’ll keep getting worst until Nigeria breaks up, Nigerian population should be nothing less than 15 countries, if a country cannot organize themselves, identify it’s citizens problems and know what works for them in every sector then it should be divided

I am also a class of 2015.
You shouldn't have stayed in the village after NYSC. No opportunities in the village. You were so comfortable in the village.

I worked as a classroom teacher in Lagos after my NYSC . I was earning N13k monthly. They later increased it to 20k in 2017. I was learning Programming while working as a teacher. I later resigned to work as house boy where I was earning N60k monthly. I resigned after 3 months due to maltreatment from my boss's son. I was employed as an intern in a tech company, I wasn't able to implement the tasks assigned to me, so I dumped the company.

I kept learning, I don't give up. To cut the long story short, I now earn between N250,000 to 300000k monthly as a software developer.

Just learn a skill. Leave your comfort zone if you are not making meaningful process.
do you work for a company or you are on your own.
Can we fix a date

Re: One Year And More After NYSC - How Is It Going? by silverkings: 2:16pm On Jul 17, 2023
Going well to the glory of God.... After my service year in October 2020, I had no bearing then. A friend and mentor opened a POS shop and employed me as a sales boy in February 2021. He paid me 25k. To the glory of God we made excessive profit... 200 to 250k monthly. I could recall December 2021 we made up 400 to 450k. As an Organist, one church was paying me 20k as well.

February 2022 I got a call from my Priest if I'd like to work with FBN... I jumped in immediately!! 85k was my salary..... I worked with them for 8months. As I was working, I'm applying for other better jobs because I was a contract staff then...

September last year i joined another bank as a core staff.... Earning close to times 4 of my FBN salary....

Honestly how these things happened I don't know.... And I'm still looking forward for bigger opportunities.... I am thankful to God for these opportunities....

Life is really hard after service especially we that have no good class of degree and no godfather. We are just on our own waiting on the Lord to the needful in our lives. This is my third year after service, I have gone back to farming and hoping that things will work in my favour going forward.

With the level of graduate unemployment in Nigeria, were you me asking yourself what you will do after NYSC and boom you were done with service. One year after, how has it gone? Share your experiences. Let's learn together
.

If you fail to plan, you are automatic planning to fail. It is no news again in the country there is no enough job opportunities for school leavers. You know this before even go to school. In addition to mere certificate. It is either you develop other skills by learning in area of need and make legit money. Or you develop professional skills by getting certify in specialized area depending on your educational background and your interest and compete for the few opportunities that are available as vacancies. But if you are complacent for the whole NYSC year enjoying the little allowance without a plan of what is next. Don't blame Government, blame yourself.

Even if you don't go to school at all. How can one stay nine years on earth and cannot find out what to do. In 3 to 6 months online, you can learn digital skills online and be earning little by little till you become better.

There are graduates who learn how to weave school cardigan, bought the weaving and brand for different private schools and individuals and organize it as a small factory that is progressing today. NYSC can achieve this, it is not so expensive, if you organize your life. It is either you lack idea or you are not ready or you are not ready to grow gradually. There are uncountable gaps to be filled in this 200 millions plus population country than for someone to contribute nothing in nine years and blame government.

Join professional network, and see what your mates are doing to survive. At least you can copy and paste, if you cannot conceive your own idea. But I am not telling you, everyone will be Dangote but at least, you will live a decent life and be fulfilled .

It's well.
Nairaland was created for us to share concerns. I'm 29, and I've 4people I've employed paying them reasonable salary every month. I mean salary you can save, with time marry, buy a car or build your house.
I was the SP (senior prefect in my high school), with this you know how intelligent head boy are. Poverty doesn't care if you're intelligent or not.
10yrs after secondary school I try admissions to study biochemistry in UNN, I dropped because no money to continue second year.
I try medicine, pharmacy to no avail until recently. God help me I had a pc and smart phone. I begin to learn hacking, I pay money to learn online from USA, Italy , Pakistan and India and get certificate.

Before now my mother had struggled and i had cleared all my ssce with beautiful grades, got Cambridge Alevel, and a diploma in ICT. I then begin to search for employment to no avail.
My mother sat me down and said my son, you're growing, what's your next plans? All your younger sisters are now graduate 3 are married (this was like 5yrs ago). I told her I'll study medicine. She told me I believe you, you always have the potential but I'm now a pensioner, where will the money come from?
It breaks my heart to hear that. I begin to use my pc day and night, morning and afternoon even without light I'll buy fuel and burn, in my bed coding, learning and I was happy I was creating things.
Sometimes I fail and feel like destroying the pc but I'll stay calm after 2days I'll go back. I begin to get closer to God and one night it drop. I was like why I'm I poor? Why will I be staying back from church when the governor, and some billionaires are leaving their comfort homes to church and praying? I was very angry I took myself to Dunamis.
That night something drop. God gave me an idea and tears begin to drain down my cheeks. For all these years such ideas had been hidden? Even my lecturers they don't know.

When I return home, around 05:30, I begin to write down every ideas that was coming. I drafted and I started working on it immediately without telling anyone.
I completed first part, challenge was now money. While I had admission to start medicine in uniport the same month TB Joshua die, my father also die. I was left broken. Long story short. I lost my dad that year, I lost my admission, I lost the house I was renting.
A lady from my church help me with little money to manage. It was really shameful I also lost my gf. The landlord threw out my stuffs I couldn't take them to my mother's house. But God locate me with a better place.
On August, admission to study in Canada came, I forgot I had applied early January while waiting for jamb admission in uniport. I was happy for the first time. I told mother, she replied it's good but where is the money? I show her it came with a scholarship. She couldn't believe. But I noticed, that night she didn't sleep until day breaks. Guys whatever you do, or pass through. Never say your mother is a witch. Someone that gave birth to you can't bewitche you. Life is full of mystery. Trust in God!

We gather money and I travel to Abuja, the school had told me my visa will be unconditional. Just take to the Canadian embassy in your country. Deadline was October, I did my ppt, ASUU was on strike lols. My dad's burial was November and as the only son the family said it's a must I must attend. So I write to the school for extension and they agreed. While in Abuja, I met someone from Nairaland infact it was two a boy and a girl. The girl was beautiful she loves me, from sighting I feel she was from a rich home or she was working and earning big, we spend sometime together. She supported to assist in anyway she can. Guys, becareful some girls even guys on Nairaland are totally different from the real person posting or quoting your post ok.

I return home and buried my father. On December being the Festive season, I met my pastor and others, they couldn't believe but prayed for me. My girlfriend that left me heard it through a friend I was traveling, and some couldn't believe even my friends in Lagos. I even call one who was my secondary school friend, he turn down my call to say I shouldn't lie to him he had traveled to Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, infact he's a traveller then replied me ...guy you're lying. I felt bad but responded him to say you travel to poor countries that Nigeria is better than. I ended the call.

1week to Christmas I booked my flight one way because the airline said until I show proof as a student for not coming back soon they can't permit me. I did everything and got all my papers. For the first time I was meeting millionaires children & families at the airport, I was like poverty is satanic. Money will make you fresh and you'll meet and have good friends.

I begin to meet people and some beautiful girls travelling to USA, and Canada too. I'm sure they might detected I'm new because there's difference between a person travelling regularly with their rolling box and a Jonny just come! That's how I was looking. But I had courage, because for one to travel to Canada and study medicine wasn't a child's thing even for those who had money to travel there. So they'll ask about my destination I told them Alberta Canada, they'll ask for?? I'll politely tell them I'm a medical student. They'll keep quiet. Got my number and I was happy to meet fresh people.

School fees to study medicine in Canada is not 4000usd or 6000usd o. I just humble myself until departure. For the first time entering international airlines. When the airplane started ascending and I saw how high is the telecom mass and we were flying passing and going up up.. plus the breeze that was touching me. Tears run down my cheeks the suffering Nigerians are passing through. I was like I'm free! Let me not explain more.

Finally after 2days I arrived University of Alberta, my friends were already waiting for me because we have a telegram group and those white girls were already talking about a Nigerian coming to join us. They'll add me and I had many friends even before I arrived. I took photos and share with my siblings, my mother for the first time she had pride to tell neighbours, and friends my son you're looking for is no more in Nigeria 😁. She was happy.

When my friend in Lagos saw,I believe their silence was a shame . Until today I've never talk to him. That's how our friendship ended.

What I developed at home showed me that God was preparing me but I never knew. After I arrived here I notice exchange rate was rising and imagine your mom trying to send you 100k in Canada for a food and rentals? Bills here are monthly. Paying for internet, water, heating, power, and many. In a month my bill is 70k after changing to naira.

This is when I launch the application I was developing while in Nigeria. I put it in playstore and app store. Omor see downloads. If I mentioned the app name now or the website, you'll see the traffic is not ordinarily. This is were I'm getting money for other things and also employing people to work for me. By year end I'll increase to 7 and before end of 2024 I'll have 25-30 people working under me.

ICT money is like blood money, oil money, drug money, and football money. It has no limits. While you have time now, it's not too late to learn skills. I'm unveiling my car on my birthday and bookmark this page you'll see who is the CEO. Young but full of something. I told myself medicine is just a family thing, not what will feed my family and relatives. But my ICT kills. Don't wait for employment or taking files working to people offices when you can start up something.
If you don't have money to survive, can you employ 4people? This didn't come in one day. Calm down and learn. Think. This is a true life story, everyone has theirs. See you ✌️.

Risk is key: Used your Nysc money to build an app or create something. If need be sacrificed your school fees for year, deferred the admission for 1year and start up something within that year. If you need mentorship in any IT field you want to invest on or start up something or you want to learn programming. Contact me
