If you are less than 26, give the Big 4 (KPMG, PwC, EY, Deloitte) a shot, I am sure you should get in with ease. Another option is to try UI for your Masters and if you do well and get into PhD, they pay N30k as monthly stipends at that level.

Bro I'm not less than 26. I finished school 5 years ago.

boom99:
Don't wait until all d light are green. Move with what u have. I teach too. U can make above 200k teaching. Just read books Get motivated,set goals, change environment. Make money on teaching. Read think and grow rich. follow the steps given in chapter 3. The best motivation is self motivation. I drop my pen

Where do you teach? I won't mind a better teaching job and other tutorials for students.

proclinician:
No I won't. Don't be lazy. We are the laziest human beings all over the world.

Sometimes it's not about laziness but apathy towards some of this things.

I need more advice and help. Someone also help me call the attention of the admins to this post.

emmaodet:
Well, where should we start from sef?
Though the advises i will be giving, i can't/won't use them bcus have outgrown that stage but for you, you should because he that is down needs fear no fall.
What are your options -
We have the legal and the illegal ways and you need to consider both because right now, you are disposable.

- go to cow market and join cow butchers, learn the business, work with them just the way many boys do over there and with time you will have your own stand/stall.
Profitable but a bit degrading for so called graduates.

- Go and learn egg distributorship from wholesale buyers, not a bad one too.

Meet cucumber, tomatoes, pepper etc farmers. You should be able to start this with abt 50k for 1 acre of land leased at 5-8k per year

Look for goat and rams rearers, partner with them and buy baby goats or rams to be raised by them and you sell after about 6 months. With 50k, you can buy up to 8-10 goats for a start.

Snail farming - quiet and can easily be done where you are living. Requires feeding once per day, mostly evening after coming back from work.
Bee farm
Maggot culture - very profitable with a low start up, i custard presently at abt #800 if am right. Highly used by fish farmers.
Meet abokis into fresh catfish selling at junctions, learn from them for about 3 months - where they buy, hiw much they buy and sell, profit, start up and you get your stand beside them
We have lots and lots and lots of things we can do but School, Education as really messed us all up.
Now we all want to sit down and make fat cash, live expensive lifestyles, big cars etc

Illega -

Meet okada people, tell them to take you to Aso-rock aka marijuana selling house.
Meet the sellers, tell dem u wan do apprenticeship, after d days job, dem fit dey drop u changes why you learn the business but cell/prison go be ur second home (in your condition like i said bfore, u are disposable) so not doing it won't change a thing after all.
If you don't like that, look at the marijuana value chain and see where you can easily key into -
Feom selling to customers, to the logistic area of bringing it from the farm to cities to meeting the farmers in delta, edo or ondo to cultivate your own 1acre for a start which i believe, in a short period u will live better dan civil servants in town.
Or come PH and enter Angala where u will be buying poofire diesel and sell to ready customers at Onne - u learn d business from successful guys sha.
Go to liverpool in lagos and meet the seafood market women to study and learn how to be buying seafoods like crabs, shrimps, crayfish, fish from both local fishermen and fiahing vessels and sell under Liverpool bridge

Bro, the ball is in ur cot

Wow, detailed. I will give them a try. Thank you very much.

Teach teach... Or acquire it skills

Did you read the post at all?

Omorefe1975:
In as much as education is necessary..let's learn a skill or a trade along as we school cos times are changing..Those courses we read in school might not guarantee food on the table at the end.We can see that in the present day Nigeria..Just my take.

Bro. Nothing wrong with education, it's just that the leadership of the nation has failed us, if not there won't be this high level of unemployment and questioning of Education and it's benefits.

proclinician:
What course did you study?

Education/Economics

Omar09:
Well sire, 5yrs ought to have taught you that their ain't no job for the bystander. It's either you've got someone in the system or you've got the money. Contact Emmaodet on his siggy and ask him to help you find and join those who cut and sell meat in the market. You might look down on this, but I tell you, it's those little beginnings that count. He will teach you other businesses to do provided you do this one as it only requires very little capital or anyone he suggests. Emmaodet help him sire!

Where is he based?

akaahs:
Bros, U are hard on urself. Believe me U, I have been in ur shoes and still on, I'm the first born of 7 children with the last one just about to write her waec. I have cried and cried and sometimes called myself a failure but I woke up one morning and begin to tell myself the truth, I can't continue crying and criticizing myself besides life is a race I have to keep running. Since then, I make sure I treat myself well by motivating, eating well and inspiring myself just to easy on me.
U have to live for ur younger siblings, don't just carry every problem of theirs on ur head allow them to figure and solve their problem.
Do what ll make U happy, join group in ur church, give ur all and see how ur life ll be transformed.
Shalom.

Thanks bro.

Lostz:
I will advice you stop giving money to siblings for now. just save the little one you hustling then get something doing before thinking about giving out.


advice your siblings to hustle or suspend their dreams till you are a bit comfortable.

you may end up destroying your own dreams and the worst part is that you won't be able to support your siblings to achieve their dreams

Chai, I wish I could. Their cries break me. But I will try so I can save something from the little I get. But I really need a better paying job or assistance to start up something.

I really need help. Friends suggest anywhere I can get help. Lalasticlala I will be grateful if you can help me get more audience.

herzernIsHere:
What is your discipline?

Education/Economics

ORBLIGHTS:
BRO GO THINK OF HOW TO START UP A SMALL BUSINESS....
IT TAKES TIME TO GROW BUT JUST BE OPTIMISTIC AND CONSISTENCE....

Bro. I have lots of business ideas on my head, but where is the capital? Anyone willing to help me with capital, I will equally be so grateful.

evil1:
Funny enough I find myself in similar situation.
I have parents that can help out with very serious connections but they won't. Every morning I argue with my mum or there is no day that goes by without a quarrel.
I will be 26 this year but Evryday I sit back an think if I was made to live this kind of life.

Bro. Don't ever say it's similar situation. Wish I had a parent that can connect me. I won't even be here seeking for help.

2dice01:
School don't teach you how to make money

It teaches you how to work under someone and get paid after 30days


Going to school is Good but learning something is Golden

Try and learn something you are passionate about


One way no enter market my brother especially in this country

Bro. I've been hustling. Maybe you didn't read my post but it seems like I'm not. Baba I no where e dey pain me.

biobash:
Apply for scholarships... China, Germany and so on.

I've been doing that.

Don't just read please. Help me.

SweetCunt97:
Come, who was the person that brought the culture of siblings looking up to older siblings sef? Someone is struggling and you are still cooking eye to take what's not enough... Nawaoo

Sometimes they don't wish to, but nowhere else to look up to. If parents had money, the children won't be looking up to their older siblings but to the parents.

totosucker:
Hmnm.Talk to him with faith in your heart and he will respond . Back it up with scriptures and i see God, giving you your dream job

At this time, my faith fails me. I've almost lost hope. Sometimes I will just be sleeping and crying, some nights I will be awake wishing to hear a voice give me directions on how to better my life.

totosucker:
I wish i could help. No man can truly help you if God does not help you. Put your trust in him and he will see you through. It must not be a white collar job, go out everyday, whatever you can engage yourself in that will put money in your pocket, by all means do it while looking out for a better job.

Bro. I'm trying my best but it seems nothing is happening. I wish I could talk to God directly looking into his eyes.

Good day everyone, I'm an old Nairalander but created this account to pour out the tears flowing from my heart over these years. As I type this, my heart is heavy, very heavy. Life is totally unfair and has somehow become too gloomy recently.
Before I entered school, I had planned to be a lecturer or someone who impacts knowledge for the greater good of the society. So I chose an education course and vowed to make first class in order to make it easier to get to my dreams.

At the University, I struggled through school because I partly trained myself and because of this I could only make 2:1 (CGPA 4.2). Since then I've been unable to secure a job, but I do some hustles and have taught in private schools around. But it's nothing because this schools pay as less as 20,000.
As the first of 8 children, what I make rarely get into my pocket. I will have to send to my poor parents in the village and cater for my younger ones. I've continued to push life believing things will get better someday. I apply for jobs, sometimes I get invites, sometimes I don't. Some jobs that I know I merit because of my performance in the interview, you will be surprised I won't be called. Some are clearly bought with money even in my presence.

I'm tired of everything. I thought hardwork in school would have paved way for me knowing the kind of family I came from, and what lies ahead. I feel so down right now. Five years down the line, I'm unemployed and my dream of becoming a lecturer seem not feasible anymore. Just recently my landlord called me and reminded me I've not paid last year rent. I'm tired and giving up about everything.

Pls I need help out of this dilemma. My prayers are simple. Help me with a good job that I can save, do my masters and PhD and get a lecturing job. If the lecturing won't be possible, at least let me be comfortable and help my family. Help me dry this tears in my eyes. Even if not for me, for the sake of my younger ones who look up to me for help and support, my aging mum and people around me. There's tears in my heart anytime I can't help when they are in need.

I can do a lot, I learn very fast, I can manage your organization/establishments, I can mange social media accounts, I can do anything with minimal tutoring about it. Please help me anyway you can.
God bless you.
