I carefully read through the rules of this forum and one of the rules was a plea or rather subtle warning not to annoy the moderators. But nothing was said about what should be done when it is the reverse. 1forall, trae_z, boriswole, honourable mods, why was the topic changed. It seems like a topic a dumb blonde would start. And on my life, i would never spare it a passing glance talkless of clicking on such a topic. Entrepreneurship in the making? What d hell is that? How is any sensible person supposed to stop by and even check the thread out. Abi una no want my progress?

@Seun thanks for the offer. I would really love and appreciate any help you can give me. But i dont know if its my phone that is playing tricks on me, i cant seem to see your IM details. It just ends with mail me at. @ ymz thanks a lot for trying against all odds to let a sister be heard. You make me hopeful again.

@ yamakuza. Nairaland swallowed it. For no reason at all the anti-spam bot seized my forum priviledges and i am yet to find out why. But i did reply y'all.

@ afrobaby, mrjaybrown, yamakuza. Thanks for your comments. Appreciate them.
I have a degree in computer science and though i am very eager to learn more, i have never been able to afford the fees of these IT schools. I can design websites and i have been earning my keep since 2006 since i graduated by hustling. If i cant do a site due to my limited knowledge, i will get who can do it and get my cut. Most times it goes taking care of my siblings needs.
If i even got a good IT company to intern with, i wont mind because it means i get to learn for free somehow. I aint afraid to be hardworking, i do my share and more.
Have worked in a couple of places after service. The first was a MFB where i was being paid 20k monthly to do thrift collecting. I left there because i wasnt contented to work with people who didnt want to move ahead and improve the finances of the bank. Half the workers were 65 year olds who it seemed the salary was pension. The other youths where just using the bank to while away time. During the five months i stayed with them, i introduced a couple of schemes that they implemented and still use today.
I have worked for a stock brokerage firm as a marketer during the stock market crash. I had a monthly target of 5million naira per month. When you dont meet that target, you get a miserly 10k for transport and calls. At the end of the month, when i calculated my t-fare, the 10k was just 45 percent of it. So i quit. But for the two months i worked there i also introduced a scheme of deposits from investors that was implemented even in the lagos branch. And i got them an investor in the first month.
I have help a few people with money spining business ideas and they were able to implement it and come back to thank me because they had the funds for it. Right now i have researched on one business which is unique to Nigeria, have samples and have test run it. People who saw the adverts and want it calls me everyday but no investor to fund it. All marketing strategies have been drawn and plotted by me, with plan A,B, and even C. But no investors.
Im a critic so it makes me a perfectionist. Chances are before you tell me im wrong, i would have already seen it and started correcting it.
I get a thrill from plotting strategies and solving seemingly insurmountable problems in businesses. To me its like trying to find a way out of a maze or labyrinth. I wont rest till i solve it.
I am loyal to a fault to people that deserve it. People have called me proactive. I am not contented with just sitting there and earning my salary, i will try to contribute or improve the company.
And thats just about 10 percent of my skills. I have done a lot online. Addwords, addsence, surveys, even forex. So i never sat down and waited for freebies at any point in my life.

@ blank. I read through the first time and i saw red. Then i tried to be calm while reading through the second time. Like a bull the piece of red the bull sees and then charges at the matador holding it. I also dont mean to be rude but you sure are very stupid, then silly to politely insult me. If you werent so guilty because you are one of those gals that their daddy bribed into an organisation, you would have realizes i didnt say all. Or you lost your coke bottles?
Who the hell are you to classify social science courses like social works as inferior and so not meriting jobs compared to other courses. It goes to show the level of your stupidity again. For your information i have a degree in computer science. I have also writen tests, been called for interviews even by nestle. Its either i cant drive or they eventually dont reply. Who are you to decide in that your overipe head that i have never writen any tests or passed?
If i got a 30k job and i end up not spending it all on t-fare, i wouldnt come here and start this thread numskull. You just come here with a judgemental attitude and spew all sorts of rubbish out of that sewer you call a mouth.
I have not sold my body yet to even a soul. My situation just made me see a different side of people who do. Instead of being judgemental, i saw why they end up doing it. But obviously you smelly tad have been selling it on credit or for a mere bottle of fanta since age 9. If you were so irritated or disgusted by the thread, why didnt you just crawl past into the anthole where you live? Was a gun pointed at your stupid head that you had to? No you had to prove aproko and reply. Who the hell are you? A demi-god who passes judgements? Just thank your ancestors in the village that i dont know you personally because i would have given you a deserving backhand slap and wring your fowl neck. I will soon write some codes that will slap children of threads or this fora.
Ms cv writer welldone. I can imagine the old school cv and cover letter you will be writing. My dear it didnt get you the job cos i beat the hr personnel burnt it when he saw it. Na your papa things help you, or better still ur intimate skills. Invest on making myself employable? See, it never sank into your thick skull that i aint got the cash. Pity.
Dont ever annoy me ok? As i dey here i de see red.

Right now i hate Nigeria more than any other place in the world. How long would we keep on living a life of frustration? How long do we keep on believing that things will get better? That there will be jobs for the qualified? That people without connections will ever be heard? What havent i tried to do in this life? But things never work out. I guess i should take it that i am jinxed right? I watch people who dont even have an IQ of 20% get those jobs because of connections. Please do not tell me to keep praying. I am tired of that already. I cant cry any more. I cant wait anymore.
Now you wonder why females have no other option but to sell themselves to make money right? Have you ever sat down to think about what happens to people who has got so much potentials but never the chance to showcase it? Business? There is never capital for that. No body wants to invest in your dreams even if its lucrative. Am i just supposed to accept defeat and relapse into nothingness? This is how serial killers are made. So much bitterness, so much anger, so much hate.
I never wanted anything like freebies. I want to work and earn my keep. I want to be satisfied with being useful to myself. But alas, this is Nigeria my fatherland,my motherland and they have made me handicapped and useless to myself and family.
