Hopefully...

While you wait, get ready for this... On gravels.

samsard:
Two of my Gees will be undergoing training now.

The rest of us I see are back to chasing other dreams.

I've always believed that 'where there is life, there is hope. '
Never give up. May God see you through.

Life has been interesting so far...

Finished NYSC April, 2018. Been freelancing as a Software developer right from when I was serving. Learned how to design websites and mobile apps during my I.T in the University. Never regretted it even for once.

Lesson 1: Learn a Skill
God so great I got a 3- month remote internship after service that paid well while I worked and learnt at the same time. My skills were boosted, and I became better. I have been making great money from the comfort of my room while freelancing and tutoring others too.
Nothing really challenged me since I was mostly indoor. Decided to look for something else while I did online business at night. Kept on applying for jobs after the internship, wrote aptitude tests and passed most of them, got called for interviews, passed most of them, but decided to dump some because of one reason or the other. Either their values and mine never aligned, or the roles given aren't challenging, or their pay wasn't good enough. See, never settle for less. Its not pride. We all have our choices to make.
There are lots of jobs out there. Its funny how so many people claim there are no jobs especially those in Lagos. I know how many jobs I've applied n got called for interviews. Stop using your phones just to chat! Network with all these big names on twitter or LinkedIn.
Got an appointment with one news firm in Abuja September last year through a Twitter DM. Sent my CV, got called for interview, got the job! N70,000 wasn't bad for a start. Later rejected the job for some reasons. What's the lesson here? Get busy with your phones. Network!
See, go online and send your CVs to the HR emails of companies you admire. It'll only take a few minutes of your time to do that. I got called for a role by a software company just like that around November last year. How? All I did was casually send my CV to them on one boring day. Don't say there are no jobs please! But if you think there aren't any, why not create one or two? You have an idea, why not sketch a business plan and send out proposals to get the required funds to start it up? Or how long will you keep listening to that voice in your head that sends fear into your body?
We all have what we are passionate about, most of us have skills we are not putting to use, while there's another set of people that prefer being indoor and chatting their life away while thier parents still feed them. Please get busy, please. Subscribe to email job alerts, they'll help you in getting firsthand job alerts you can apply to if you're like me who has come to terms with the fact that business is not for everyone.
Just know what you can do, and do it well.
Learn a digital skill!

Now I plan to set up a software company in Nasarawa state... Its in progress already. No actual capital yet, but I'm glad I have an idea of what I want to do.

So where am I now? I am not where I want to be, but I'm definitely not where I used to be.

Peace!


UPDATE (30th March, 2019): So I got called for training with the Nigerian Navy after passing through the rigorous screening and interview. Sincerely, the training was fun even though I never trained with them to the end for reasons best known to me.

I'm back home now... Hustling continues. I'm not giving up just yet. Hopefully, my dreams will come true. I'll just forge ahead with the Msc admission I got before the naval training.

UPDATE (20th Jan, 2020):

I'm done with my MSc course work. Also got a job with an NGO as an Ad-hoc staff. Let me use this one hold body first.

UPDATE (27th August, 2021):

Wow! It's been a while o. Sorry for taking so long to update this. It's been more than a year already. And that's because I've been trying to settle well into the new job I got with the largest oil and gas company in Africa that pays awesomely well, and I get to do what I love doing... Yes(I'll leave you to guess the company). I got the job last year tho...during the pandemic. � Isn't God faithful?

And oh... I'm married now. Got married April this year to the love of my life. Awwwn... Life has been better ever since, and I can't stop thanking God for everything. We've also set up businesses, and currently purchasing landed properties. I have a car too! Whew! What God cannot do does not exist o...

So, have you gotten the lesson here? Never Give Up.

Peace.

Roman2345:
What is meant for you will be yours even if its between 2 mountains. What isnt meant for you will not be yours even if its between your 2 lips.

Relax yourselves. Put a little effort and relax more. I smell a lot of tension and panic. But God knows best�.

Correct sir. We need not stress ourselves about these things, seriously.
Even though the questions asked here are for clarity's sake.

.

pijay:
For all the people that were recommended by the board. They will go to ur school and check if u hv any case in ur file and they will verify all ur cerficate.

@mmtukur

JezCalMeJay:

Where did you hear that one?

KODACK:

Sure.

Wait o... There's another screening again?

Ok guys... If you know you got your mail without consulting any Godfather or Godmother raise your hands let's see so that some of us can have hope.

enesi009:
#180,000

Whew! Now I see y those guys were begging me not to block their chances. Lol. One even said, "we'll come n marry yhu when we get d job"

Kenkeso:
Yes, Nasarawa State. No more suicide bro. And I almost took the sniper poo but I told myself it's not worth it.

Where do you stay? I'm in Keffi.

Kenkeso:
I couldn't even sleep throughout last night. I've been refreshing my email all to no avail. I almost 100 per cent sure of getting this job. This morning as I was going to wee for the 78th time since I heard the list has been released, I fainted and my siblings have to pour water on me to revive me.
I'm totally confused right now. I'm from Nasarawa State and would like to know if anyone from there has gotten a mail. Is there any hope or I should go ahead and take this sniper and end it all.

Imagine if you had taken the sniper.

Congrats bro.

Kenkeso:
Wow! Wow! Wow! I just got a mail now. This is totally unbelievable!

Nasarawa? Congrats bro. No more suicide. God is good.

Nasarawa... �

Honest question: Who knows how much Sub-Lieutenants are paid?

enesi009:
who knows u guys might be lucky demfit leave the four per state since cds daughter dey dis time

Lol... I pray so o...

Buh it has always been 3 sha

Tolexander:
I think it is Airforce in Nigeria.

Army- there are too much fights and war to participate in. Terrorists and militants are killing our soldiers daily on land.

Navy- Mostly work in Niger Delta and sometimes around lake Chad. Both are zones for militants and terrorists.

Airforce- They operate in the air, no terrorist or militant activity in the air. One only has the Edo people to fear.

Now that bokoharam are bringing down planes. Hian!

enesi009:
edo state

Oh... Ok.

Jochidinho:
Please anyone with the number that was posted in this same thread. The woman that confirmed the mail are sent in batches. I can't find it. I need to call the person to listen to my cry. I've suffered too much.

Calm down bros.
