Gentlesoul2021:
I was supposed to graduate in 2018, ASUU made it 2019. The school also delayed and I was mobilized to Lagos state for NYSC in 2020.

I purposely begged a senior military officer to aid my deployment to Lagos so I can get chances of approaching major companies but unfortunately I was posted to a school. I hated teaching and thanks to COVID 19, I only spent 4months in the school but still had a headlock with the school owner who wanted to start feeling like a God, a woman for that matter.

In 2021 I was done with NYSC and had no one in Lagos to atleast stay with while pursuing other opportunities which I have to return to my state.

I ran back to the senior military officer for a placement in the military and he assured me of an assistance. I'd depended on his words wic made me not to apply for any vacancy thinking I already have a shot in the military, a mistake I made as it took the military a year to make recruitment open in 2022.

After commencement of the recruitment, I applied and ran back to the senior officer who outrightly told me my course of study wasnt listed on the portal and it will be hard for him to push me and to be honest, that year, this particular military sector made alot of changes to their requirement processes. I was devasted and accepted fate thou I applied anyways.

I started job hunting aggressively with lot of rejections. When fate will have it, I was shortlisted for the military recruitment for an aptitude test and I went back to the senior officer who's a brigadier general. He told me to take the aptitude test and he'll take it from there.

I did the test but didn't have my name in the next list of shortlisted candidates. I was so pained and couldn't eat, it was the wife of this general who consoled me. As a matter of fact, that year was my last hope to apply for anything military as age was not on my side. I had a glimpse of getting the job but couldn't make it.


In October 2022, after 20 months of finishing NYSC, I got a store clerk position in an hotel for a salary of 20k with service charge of 30k.

The service charge made the offer juicy and I jump onto it. After a month on the job, the store officer angrily resigned due to maltreatment from the management and I was installed as the store/inventory Officer.

I was doing the job of a store clerk as well as the main store officer. I complained and asked for an assistant to be recruited for me but my appeal went on deaf ears. This work started taking toll on me as I was even supervising the store section, a new site project for the hotel. Imagine I was working on the new site which is not on the employment contract as well as working for the hotel. There are six departments in the hotel with store request frequently.

The site engineer will also request for store materials to be used on site and I am the only person authorised to released any materials. I had no rest being only me, the site engineer took pity on me and also join voice with me to appeal to the company to recruit an assistant to man this position. I started losing weight with alot of restless night. The role is not a shift one and I do not have any fixed closing time. Sometimes I'd got home 10pm, 11pm and will have to resume to work by 7am the following day. People started calling my attention to how I look. I was disturbed physically and mentally.

I had to resign in Feb 2023, just six months on the job and they'd picked up a fight with me. They knew how much of my impact within those few months and they were angry I took them by surprise in resigning with no replacement in sight. They wanted me to pay for a training fee the company organised for staffs but I also outsmart them by presenting a medical certificate to nullify their claims. To tell u I never received any service charge as promised in the contract, I was only receiving 20k attached to a store clerk position not to even talk of the new role I was assigned to. I got no increasement in salary despite working another role different from what I was applied for. Out of the 20k salary, over 15k was been used for transportation, I was just suffering and smiling.

It been 12months of another race, and this time around I am very sceptical about the salary for any role. I got an offer just 2 months of resigning from my previous role wic I declined cos of the amount attached to the role and also the time slavery attached to the role of working 9-9, Monday-sunday, not a shift role and no off day. A store officer in a super market, I had to run. It been lot of rejection afterward, but man keep moving.

I also started a charcoal business which was growing bit by bit not until high cost of commodities struck it and I had to stop investing in it as I was getting little to nothing on intrest as at when I started. Some of my suppliers are even fond of paying me in bits where in most cases I spend this money on other things and had no capital to rerun the biz...

Man will keep pressing on...

You are heartless o, you can put all of these online yet the same job you posted or is it ur bf, makes one work from 1am to 6pm , my brother is having consistent migraines, the target you set were unrealistic and the more reason people quit the job, even a marketer for a bank doesn't work that much, no one can do ur tasks without having health issues and here you are calling kettle black, you are more like the way indians put Nigerians to work, no one can do ur job and be productive.

Let me give you a little secret about labor market. Using myself as an example, I have worked in more than 6 companies in 3 different countries and continent. Most times after about 2 years, i just get bored and feel like changing employer or when i ask them for a raise or favor. Now back to your question, the secret is this, know what the society needs and demands, then develop yourself in that particular aspect, then you will see as jobs will be coming your way.

My brother,shege saw me.
I got a federal juicy job 16 years after graduation.
How did I survive?
The first five years after graduation, I thought it was a child’s play because after the 5th year,I hear nwiih.
I got a woman pregnant and was forced to marry without a job.
My brother, I turned to agbero work for survival.
Money dey that work but it’s the MOST demeaning work you can do.
I quit after 4 years and got serious with property business my dad was doing.
Madam started keeping men outside because I no get money.
I have to divorce and I reprogrammed myself.
I had two streams of income already and God blessed me with a federal commission work.
Though it came 16 years after my graduation, I am eternally grateful to God.

Dear HR & Employers in Nigeria,

With the skyrocketing fx and cost of living, what are we doing to change the game?

I understand the impact is on both employers and employees so this is a wake up call for us all to begin to think outside the box.

What can my organization do differently for the business as well as the people?

Thinking aloud.

That mean the previous 120gb per month was not on purpose, because if you are using it for something productive that pays, you won't be able to cut it down that much.

Look, I initially didn't want to respond to you again but i changed my mind cos my silence may send a wrong impression to people who come across this my thread.

Truth be told, you must be a kid who is yet to understand life and probably still living with and fed by his parents.

Don't worry as you grow older, you will understand life better. Have a nice day!

The thing is the rates swing easily in MMF.
Yes it's 19% now, next two months it could drop to 15% and subsequently to 12% affecting the total profit

Whereas an investor in tbills will lock it down for the year
