Bump

@saheed: I meant real work and not that sort of work

@kemiola: getting a certificate would take some time. A job I can do now is what I seek

Thanx to both of you

I'd like to know the type of opportunities and SSCE holder could get in the job market. i am an SSCE holder looking for a job: an articulate person, a great listener and a fast leaner who speaks perfect English. I happen to hold an SSCE, not because I am dumb but because of certain happenings. i am a voracious reader, quite intelligent and presentable but without a certificate.

i have skills with entry-level HTML, a good user of joomla for website building, and proficient with MS Office; able to type fast on the computer, great user of the internet and social media.

what can someone like me get in the job market?

hello, lynpetra. could you ignore this thread , pls?

thanks everyone, am here. just had a long day. i will follow jaybee's advice and every other one suggested. thanks y'all

Thanks everyone...

@jaybee: will send you a mail as soon as I get to a computer probably later tonight


To my neutered friend: have you ever made a mistake in your life? I guess not

Magic Bishop:

stop trying to have some pride and take whatever money they have to give you and if you like you can choose to dash one slut all of it again

i chose to ignore you before but it seems you are rabid. i am probably better; living better and feeding better than you neutered dog. I'd hold on to my pride, no matter what happens and hold my head up high no matter what happens at the end. you should be caged. people like you don't deserve to live amongst humans.

Obiagelli: Op tell your parents the truth, trust me you will do them more harm by taking your life. If you are too scared to tell them I could help you out.

Please ignore the low lifes here that have been shouting you down, trust me some of them are in worse situation than you.

If you feel it will hurt you parents after you have told them , I will advise you to move to another state, i believe you are an adult (since you mentioned nysc), get a low job or learn a skill, apply your education to better that skill and start a decent life from there.

this is what I had in mind but I'd need a job before doing so. I already ignored them. you should see I didn't refer to any of their posts.

thanks Obiagelli

jay bee: What help do you need bro?

Send us an email => nairalandcharity@gmail.com

thanks for the noble offer, sir. I wouldn't want my face and life pasted on the nairaland so I'd have to decline.

thanks once again

to those making fun of my plight, I say thank you. the fault isn't yours, I blame you not. you have a reason to poke fun at me because I put my problems out there believing that I'd get some form of solace. you can't put me down... I am in an abyss already.

to lynpetra et all... are you happy now? as hurling insults at me made you feel better?

i read in one of the posts that maybe I expended the money on drinks: has the poster ever heard of the word teetotal, people who don't drink? I don't consume alcohol and yes, I did collected money from my parent but the bulk of it went into businesses that didn't yield results. i had to, to keep the lie going.

@shymexx; I have no use for money at the moment. like I wrote before, I just need something to keep my life going, something to do... a job, an advice, an escape

I am writing this epistle as a buoy to keep adrift. Maybe someone would read this and proffer me with a solution. This is the first time anyone is hearing this from me. I have bottled it up in me for years.

I need help before I do the unthinkable; a job to keep me away from home, something to keep me alive....

and yea, I am a regular nairalander. just had to open a new account.

Ciao

The end of me began with a call. It was so many years ago. Could you borrow me 40k she said, it is for some business. I will pay you back in two weeks. Alright I said, just make sure you return it because it is money meant for my school fee.

Fast forward to many months later and this person still hadn’t returned the money. I missed a semester exam and thereby ended my university education. I couldn’t tell anyone; not my mother, not my father. This person was a trusted person, family and telling them would have caused a huge disturbance in the family. I decided to keep mum and find a way out on my own. I got admitted again the next year but after paying the acceptance fee and some other petty fees, there was no money left for the school fee. I couldn’t write exams at the end of the semester. I was back to square one and yet, there was no one I could talk to.

Days ran into months and months into years and I was still in the same spot. People back home thought I was in school, I came home for holidays and acted like a normal student but deep inside me, I was lost and confused and was so depressed that I contemplated on suicide so many times.

It was better, I thought, dying. ‘Iku ya ju esin lo’; death is more honourable than shame. For all those years, I was too cowardly to do it but now, with the year ending and with another coming, I think the time is right. I have told lies, solid lies about why I hadn’t yet gone for service and those lies have saved me up until this moment. But now, I don’t think they can stand for long thus my stance –except a miracle occurs.

I have been depressed for a long time due to that mistake but my smiles and jolly self shrouds my mind and thoughts. I am a walking corpse, an effigy with a soul. I portray the image of a man without worries, a man without problems but my mind is in turmoil, my head is a raging sea of thoughts. I need help but who can I talk to?

Though I don’t have a formal certificate, I think I am far educated than most average graduates. I read at least four books in a month, speak very good English, look educated and presentable. I am a normal guy whom a little act of kindness has ruined. I just didn’t want to go without stating my story and to advice people about how not dealing with problems once it arises can turn their life into a tangled mess. Maybe if I had come out to my parents that long ago, I wouldn’t be writing this today.

I’d like to keep this short to not bore anyone...
