NairaLand seems to have become a platform for IDF propaganda. I am curious if Seun, the founder, is aware of and consents to this. I raised this concern in his Twitter comment section, and he committed to addressing it. However, only one of the two concerns I highlighted has been partially resolved. The ongoing issue involves:

1. The prevention of Muslim content from reaching the front page on Fridays.

2. NairaLand serving as a tool for spreading IDF misinformation and propaganda.

are you from palestine? The number one should be your only concern "1. The prevention of Muslim content from reaching the front page on Fridays." not what is happening in a foreign land.

Was the biggest thief because he was exposed,
How about other leaders. Who are still hidden

Hmmm, let me give you my story to encourage you. I finished school in 2003, got a good job in one of the telecom firms, worked hard, did my masters, got married and saved lots of money sufficient to start a business. Then in 2008, I felt i wasnt fulfiled with paid employment again.Dangote was always my role model, so I resigned and decided to go into business. I went into a good business, did well for few months and along the way, a staff connived with my supplier in a state in nigeria ,my capital vanished overnight and the rest is history.

By 2009, i was back to ground zero and every attempt I made to revive myself in business failed and full time HARDSHIP set into my life (probably like what you are facing now). To make matter worse, my wife who was a youth corper when i married her just had my first baby around this time . So the baby arrival, wife not working and myself not working againg made matter worse. We were practically living from hands to mouth. It was a hell but that was the beginning of my hell. By mid 2010, my wife had to go take a teaching job in a nusery school near our house in lagos then with a baby of less than one year at hand. The salary was 10K and that was the only money coming into the family.

When depression was knocking at my door, one day, i left the house and worked kilometers away from home with no destination in mind. I was just going, weeping inward and praying in ward for God to show me mercy for the sake of my new baby. Then, all of a sudden, having worked kilometers, i saw a shop where they were selling phone accessories and i walked in. I told the young guy there (younger than me by years), i told him i would want help him to be marketing his accessories daily around the neighbouhood and he would be paying me commission on every sales I make per day.

The young man looked at me and asked if he could trust me and i assured him that i wont dissapear him. I was speaking good english and I think the guy just feel in love with me. So, he asked me to start that day.He didnt know me, no guarantor, no application, nothing whatsoever. He just trusted me .He gave me 3 pieces of charger, phone batteries, MP3 charger, power bank etc and i left his shop. I started moving from streets to streets and anybody i saw on the road, i would be marketing to them to buy charger, power bank etc. I would add a little mark to the price the guy gave me.
By 6pm, I would return to his shop and hand over my sales to him and return the unsold goods and he would pay me commission on what i sold and i would go home with about N700 or N800 commission and that would be our diner money for that day. It was a tough season that i never prayed for my enemy to go though. This was what i did from 2010 to 2013.

While i was doing this mobile sales job, I was applying for jobs daily with my 2.1 first degree certificate and my masters degree (I thank God i was smart enoughto do my masters when I was working in the telecom firm). I applied for uncountable number of vacancies but never got a job.

Fast forward to 2014,I was owing 2 years house rent and my landlord gave a quit notice to pack out. At that stage, God Almighty had mercy on me and one of the aptitude test i did came back with an invitation for interview. The challenge was that the interview was going to be in Abuja. I borrowed 5k from a friend to enter night bus to get to Abuja to attend the interview and behold God gave me the job. The starting salary was 560k (an international NGO) . From there, my story changed. That was how i relocated to Abuja and God saved me from landlord eviction embarrasment. Today, i work with a global organisation with multipe 6 digits fat salary, got houses of my own and other great achievements of life BUT with all that, I can never forget the years 2009 - 2014. Those were the darkest years of my life. I SUFFERED.

Op, i have been there before and i can relate with you that its a terrible place to be for a man. If you are not married, its still better for you. All you need to do is to start anything that you hands find to do,even it its labourer, please do it. Dont ever stay at home thinking because your problems will just be compounded. While doing anything you can lay your hands to do, please keep applying for jobs daily in hundreds and one day, I mean one day, the Good Lord will open that door for you and your life will never be the same again.Its a season and it will soon pass over. Wishing all the best.

Please, when you eventually get that God's favour and your story changes, kindly share the testimony here to motivate other. Aurevoir

very inspiring. Thank you sir.

It’s really tough honestly
Same applies to an entrepreneur.

I’m currently into transportation business and honestly I wake up and I just wish I’ll vanish.

I’ve totally lost interest in everything

omor, not easy oo.

Resetinc:
So many self-pity comments above …

So many weak souls … lamenting because they thing they have not lived up to societal norms/ standards….. shame!!!

The greatest gift on earth is Breath
You people won’t realize until you take your last..

there is no competition in destiny.. and there is nobody to impress. Be happy and appreciate life .

you are right Bro. But I don't have any attom of happiness in me. Which is also important, not even to talk about daily meal which seems difficult to me, if not the fact am not a type that eat much

occfx:
Talking from experience, it makes you humble, stronger, and a thinker. You are likely to create something during this phase. However, handling the rejections, insults, etc is another topic. Just keep pushing but don't commit suicide. However good or bad situation is it will change.

mine is effecting my mentally, I have inability to think on the best thing to do to myself, each time I woke in the morning, I will be as confused as what I can't describe, infact I am a confusionist . I can't create anything as you stated.

LostMyZeal:
I have a solution for you! But you might think it's ridiculous when I say it. And mind you, I've been in a similar situation with you but my setback was more devastating.


Go to God; he has the blueprint of his plan for your life in his hands. Give your life to Jesus today and you'll get not just access, but also directions on how the plans can be actualized in your life.

Beloved of God, be determined to follow God today and he'll turn everything about your life around.

You must understand first and foremost that this life is more spiritual than physical (Ephesians 6: 10 - 12)

No matter the matter, stay strong in God. What you are facing is God's way of getting your attention by calling you to himself. He wants to start something new in your life but you must be willing to pay the price at the altar of prayers and fasting. When God calls a man, those exercises become natural to such individual.

So to get anything tangible out of this life you need to be empowered by God. I hope this little encouragement meets you well.

thank you sir for the advice. I will turn back to God. I can't help myself anymore

Op, it has never been easy for me, I cried all night and blame in everything that' happen to me, not only did I lost my job last, I fail two good Job interview just 10 months interval, one was November last year, another one This year September, with good salary expectation of More than 300k, I cried all night, I can't console myself, I don't really know where got it wrong. My IQ is zero, I doubt my intelligent, I wish I never attended school. I wish I could just died because I can't face the shame, because I have disappointed my family, and my friend, I'm now a failure after graduating with 2'1. No job, no achievement, I don't even know what to do to myself anymore

Learn digital skills and start small. The Google Digital Skills Garage is a great option. Start here - https://grow.google/intl/ssa-en/courses-and-tools/

Too many legitimate opportunities online but only for those willing to put in the work.

'Japa' better be a long-term plan 'cos you need time to:

- learn a skill
- practice the skill
- exchange the skill for money
- build a portfolio
- build and nurture a network

WHY DIGITAL SKILLS?

1) You earn FX in Nigeria,
2) 'Cos it will be more useful when you finally 'Japa'.

Get-rich-quick scheme will land you in worse troubles. Avoid it like a plague.

God's blessings!

Good morning guys. If 400mb worth of data isn’t too small, send me an email via nairaland for a very small task. MTN only.

Limited to 5 people only for today. Thank you.

I don't have data to send mail sef

Payment will not be made without opening the Npower portal, the portal is very necessary to beneficiary for you to confirm your details. They day the portal is open that is when you should start expecting your payment. And from the information I received, a New portal will be launch to take in new batch which is their major concern, the old npower has been suspended, the minister is planning to merge the Npower backlog of batch C with the New batch that is about to be open, this means during selection, the backlog batch C will be consider first.

Finally, I was panicking.

Ramslade always making mistake

Not just rumour - its virtually true. Especially sex. The age you start having sex for example, you stop growing but at most start expanding.

I use this apot to guess the age people start sexing and/or if fheyre virgin or not. And it goes correct more than 95% of the time

it's a lie, I tiny pass wizkid, I never do bad thing wen I was younger, even now,I don't do bad thing, I still look tiny. I think it's my nature

Thundafireseun:

With all his money

Wizkid has refused to grow physically

Rumours have it that once you start doing bad things at an early age you will stop growing….

it's a lie, I tiny pass wizkid, I never do bad thing wen I was younger
