Meddymeddy:
Hello everyone, first of all I want to thank you for your contributions and support you gave me last two years when I was about moving to Lagos
https://www.nairaland.com/6690592/n7000-teaching-job-adamawa-moving

I will clearly say that your contributions were really useful to me and I have gain a lot of experiences. But one issue I have with Lagos is a place to stay and it really affected my state of mind. So now I want to ask for few advise and guidance.

Now I'm done with my NYSC and I want to plan my next step which is Lagos again. In Lagos one can get a job that could be manageable before the big one comes. But I the problem is accommodation issue and I don't wish to stay with anybody (due to past experience) except if it is shared apartment (split rent). My decision is to rent a pako house but I don't know much about it or how safe it is or the best place for pako in the island. These are some of the things that I'm confused about. Pls thoes who have faced similar issues should pls help me with a way out.


Admin pls help out

I was supposed to graduate in 2018, ASUU made it 2019. The school also delayed and I was mobilized to Lagos statefor 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 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 assure me of any 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 to made recruitment open in 2022.

After commencement of the recruitment, I applied and ran back to the senior officer who outright 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'd apply for the recruitment.


I started job hunting aggressively with lot of rejections. When fate will have it, I was shortlisted for the military recruitment and still ran 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 shortlisted candidates. I was do pained and couldn't eat, it was the wife of this man who consoled me. As a matter of fact, that year was my last to apply for anything military as age was not on my side.


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 into 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 was on deaf ears. This work started taking toll on me as I was even supervising a new site project for the hotel. Imagine I was working on the new site 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 and strinking with alot of restless night, people started calling my attention. I was disturbed physical and mentally.

I had to resign in Feb 2023, just six months on the job and 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.

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. 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 I spend this money on other things and had no capital to rerun the biz...

Man will keep pressing on...

This sounds ridiculous but I don't doubt it for a minute.

Nice school, excellent concept of interviewing.

Quote me. The game will be 3:1 in favour of Nigeria. Nigeria will score 1 first half @40th minutes. Nigeria will score 2goals second half. Ivory coast will return one second half. Congratulations folks!

spartachico:
E be like una wan make war happen for Africa ,if Nigeria assemble all these players ,it's a no no for ivory coast

Threedoorsdown:
That's cos our FA is lazy and dubious. Other countries have home grown players cos they cherish and develop their leaguesand players but we love ready-made players where we had zero impact on their careers yet we want them to choose Nigeria.

Other countries give these guys an avenue to develop their talents and care for them and you think they won't choose those countries abi.

ideylaff:
Haba nooooo oooo

No need to swear at those who chose other countries. Thats a bad taste attitude by swearing at them

We are only dancing cos eagles are doing well. The Eagles set up

Normally the Super Eagles camp is one of god fatherism, man no man and all sorts of deals that frustrate players from representing their mother land.

I clap for those who have chosen Nigeria but please don berate those who hav chosen otherwise.

It's called Choice. Lets respect all our boys either playing for Nigeria or other countries

The Eagles camp and politics can be as nasty as they come . It’s not easy with kids born in England to fit in easily. Iwobi is bn protected due to Okocha’s influence and stuff .

Good day everyone.

I urgently need the service of a Human Rights Lawyer here in Lagos. I have a standing issue of unpaid salary arrears with my former employer.

Your recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Thank you all in anticipation.

In other words, being a drunk (lack of self-leadership) is the reason why the woman can teach him a lesson.

Or like Samson who Delilah taught a lesson because he can't just shut up about the source of his power?

Or like that super TV CEO that Chioma killed in a hotel because he can't be faithful to his wife?

Or during elections or endsars when the political class will use unscrupulous Nigerians to cause problems that will affect the rest?

You see where I'm going with this right? For others to defeat you, they will use the demon living inside you to accomplish their goal.

Like when Jesus finished fasting and the devil came to tempt his ego. The devil asked Jesus to bow down before him, that he will give him the World. Jesus told him to fork off.

If you properly develop yourself, the enemy will see no vice living inside you to recruit. Once a man has successfully defeated himself, then he has defeated the world.

Honor and virtue (a by-product of self-development) are the most potent weapons against the attacks your visible and invincible enemies will throw.

If one does not develop himself, he might not even be able to pay the price of not developing himself because in many cases, it's death.

It's easier to rule a city than to rule yourself - Proverbs 16.32.
