When I finished my OND, I was looking for where to do my IT.

Then a friend of my brother told me he found a job for me, where they sell paints. The pay according to him was 15k and that he would take me there the following day.

I was really happy and I put all my soul into expecting to start the work.

The following day came, but he didn’t show up. Called and called but no response.

For two weeks I kept called this guy, but e no show up.

I was already getting depressed. Lol

When he eventually did show up, baba didn’t say the job wasn’t available again, baba said we would be going the following day. The following day came, but still didn’t show up. Omo!!!

I almost entered depression. Lmao

Remembering those dark days, I just have to thank God for where I am today.

I’m not there yet, but broooooooooo, we’ve move reality up the ladder. Alhamdulillah

Often amazes me how Nigeria is so messed up to the point youths can actually be working for 25K per month.

That's approximately 25 dollars with today's exchange rate.

You're basically meant to survive on less than a dollar daily. Darn!!

I once fired someone who always went to the toilet and left his untidiness visible to everyone despite having a good and efficient lavatory in place.

Intellectuals and the good people of nairaland. I just experienced one of the biggest shocks of my life.

As a student of the federal university, I saw a publication for the post of a front desk at a big cyber cafe close to the north wing of our school gate. I applied and followed the recruitment exercise which took 3 weeks of test and interview.

Out of 15 of us that applied for the job of 25k per month, I was picked. I loved it because it only start from 4pm till 9pm. Normally our lectures is from 7am till 1pm. I was happy because it will help me save for my school fees and I hoped to liaison with the students there to learn graphic designing. A skill I love but finance is a burden to enrol and to get a PC.

I was told to resume on Monday. I went there in the evening and the owner came and say my services are no longer needed. I was shocked. I asked him what I did? He didn't answer me. It was the other staff, the manager that told me he will communicate it to me. From Monday till now, I didn't hear from them.

Please, what should I do? I am confused. For those who had similar experience what was your cause. I am so so sad with this. My hope is dashed.

Which of the Federal Universities??

Anyway, it's not a big deal.

Plans are based on budget, and if the budget couldn't meet up, there will be change of plans.

Nothing u can do


It has happened to me before

I was given a job offer and I accepted


I agreed start date. I negotiated with them when I would start. I had a family burial on that day and I told them I will start a few days after. It was a fresh graduate job.


I got an email the Monday before start date that the offer was rescinded.


I moved on , it’s one of those experiences that you will laugh about in the future.

Keep going don’t stop

Maybe he changed his mind and decided to do the job himself....has nothing to do with you....
Either way, he deserved an explanation and apology at least. The owner owed him that much

Stop overthinking about what happened; you did nothing wrong.

I know situations like this are painful, but there’s nothing you can do other than move on.
