Good for single mothers.... too many need inspiration and guidance. Wayy too many believe a child does not need their father or a present father figure in their life .... I raised my child all by myself used as a badge of honour... not knowing a woman cannot raise a man. No doubt... it is not easy to be a single mother and society does not help by stigmatizing single mothers ... regardless of how they got to that status.

players on on the 22-player roster, who are rumoured to likely miss the first leg include Gift Monday, Halimatu Ayinde, Regina Otu and Christy Uchiebe.

Sources informed Nigeriafootball.ng that the unexpected withdrawals were due to varying reasons, including visa hitches and health-related matters.

Life as an unemployed graduate isn't always easy. Sometimes, things get so tough that you begin to wonder if you wronged the gods, somehow.

Most times, your life can be summed up in one word: frustrating.

Your ability to achieve a mental balance gets challenged each day.

As soon as you get a moment to forget the struggles of life, that friend with whom it seemed like you had become partners in the labour market calls in to tell you how he's managed to secure a well-paying job.

"Ahhh. So my own case is the handiwork of my village people, as feared?!"

"But I thought my destiny and EMX's are tied together nah!"

Then you remember, that other members of your clique like Emeka, Roland, Wale, Aliyu, Emike, and Daniella have all secured jobs since the turn of the year.

Immediately, you look up to the sky (or ceiling in most cases; sometimes stepping outside the house may seem like a privilege) and question God in a Balotelli-esque fashion: "why always me?!"

You begin to feel alienated by success. Emotions begin to pour. But regardless of your reaction, that's not an easy question to answer.

Life gets you to suffer humiliation and hardships of being considered not good enough for any job at all. All the questions that went unanswered, the advances that were met with a stern, unwelcoming attitude at different offices... or is it the people debating issues of whether to turn you to an errand boy so you could earn some 200 bucks for recharge card or just leave you be (to suffer in silence). "Imagine! People wey no reach to even lace my shoes before."

On the home front, some of your siblings' chores become your duty. Why? Because you are not much use in the house. For every meal you eat, every time you go to bed, each time you sit idly, parents want you tasked.

Your value continues to drop on a per-second basis. It feels like nobody cares about you for anything. You grow anxious and frustrated with life. Your happiness is about to be taken away from you by unseen forces.

"But this no be the plan we been plan from the start!" Soon after that thought, you see an advert on TV reminding you that life doesn't always go according to plan. Or is it the pastor in Church reminding you that everything in life is God's design? How then am I supposed to relate to God not wanting me to succeed? You begin to question your belief in God. "Is there even a god?!"

But all of that is not you. It's frustration playing out. So many times, you feel like a lost soul in a human body. Trapped and without help. You're not sure when redemption will come, or if it will come at all.

Carefully redesigning a CV that never gets more than a glance. Your life is no longer filled with fun an excitement. Grief, self-pity, and anger are gradually taking over.

"What a sorry soul!" No money for business, no means to learn a skill or two, and no jobs to keep you busy. Life can't get any worse.

But what can you do in all of these?

You continue to reinvent, hoping that someday, your salvation will come. All that 2.1 from a reputable university doesn't feel so important anymore. Set all of that aside, believing that only grace can rescue you now.

This is the typical life of an unemployed graduate in Nigeria.

Things are HARD!

Some members of nairaland need to be attended to by veterinary doctors because of the way they reason, think or act.

DrAkpamudehe:
I don't think you are accurate here. When you migrate to the west as an adult African immigrant, it is very difficult to break into white people's social network. These people develop their social network right from childhood, and it is the friends they acquire from childhood that they carry on with till old age. Secondly, many times when you are in their midst as an adult African migrant, you find it boring because their jokes, discussions apart from the ones centred on careers won't appeal to you because you didn't grow up there.
The summary of my rejoinder is that it is easier to mingle or break into the white man's social network when you migrate as a very young person. At most, early 20s.

Mandatory Transmission is fine.
As per diaspora, we'd better perfect voting within the country 1st.

Gospel Crusade are mere noise making.
They heal nobody.
Religion is acceptable scam in the society.

juman:
In my area there was a man with disabled son, he attended almost all the crusades. He wanted his son to heal and walk.
He explained what they faced at crusades grounds.
They don't allow unknown faces to go to the pastor/bishops during healing time. The crusaders have their own arranged people to parade to the audience.

Fake miracle.

U made me remember RCCG Lekki98, it was awesome. I could remember I was running an errand for popcorn for almost half of the program. As a little boy who knows nothing then, I was just focused eating 🍿popcorn like tomorrow no dey. But I thank God I was there. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

she's either trying to eat it or the cucumber is trying to eat her

women are perverts too, but they do it covertly... this is why those who are naive in the game take them as saints or angels lol... bad mind, damaged body, innocent face.. it is what it is...

Dustbinbint:
I am already doing home service, and by now I have 2 to 3 regular customers (although I recently started).
I believe that if I worked harder at distributing fliers, small business cards, and other means of advertisement, I will get more customers. But I'm just tired.

I looked back over the past 2 years and I just feel down because financially I have nothing to show for it, although I am beginning to feel slightly better than I was feeling when I first typed out this post.

Thanks for your comment, though.
If you want to extend financial generosity to render me some assistance, I will appreciate it a lot. But don't feel compelled to.
Many thanks!

Parent should learn never to support or tolerate their children being in relationship or being friends with persons that are irresponsible
His nickname "killaboi" is a red flag.

Too rich for his age without verifiable means of income not that his parents are wealthy.

Tattoos may look fashionable, but some wearers may be people with questionable character.

Imagine the level of trust this woman had on this boy, yet the boy still carry out the evil did for reasons best known to him
