I have Bs.c in Computer science (2.1).
I am being paid 45k with almost everything going into transport and food.

I believe a well well paying job for a 29 yr old like me should be something 100k and above

In what seems to be an opportunity for me to secure a better job turned to a bitter experience for me.

I saw an advert of a job opening from a recruiting agency on may 2nd and I applied, by may 17th I received a mail telling me to come for interview the next day at Anthony in Lagos whereas I live in Ogun state.

I checked my pocket and I was sad cos the money I saw won't even be able to transport me to interchange on the expressway. So I result to borrowing transport fare and think of what excuse I'll take from my place of work.
Reason I wanted a change of work is because it's a job I'm just doing not be be idle at home cos I've not been able to save anything from it for the past 2 and half months as I'm been paid a meager salary. I'm only able to save money for food and transportation.

I borrowed 3k from a friend and set to journey to Lagos on Thursday, as soon as we got to long bridge heading to berger, we found ourselves in this regular massive hold up leading all the way to Berger bustop.

The interview was set at 10 am and it was already 8am and I'm still trapped in traffic, I saw people jumping on bike and I tried reasoning them too, I was told it's 1k to berger. I got no choice than to speak to my leg. I couldn't believe I could trek all the way from long bridge to Otedola bridge after Berger all because I couldn't afford to board a bike and so as to be able to make it to the interview on time.

Another dilemma set it when I wanted to board bus to Anthony from otedola bridge after Berger and conductors were shouting Oshodi 500, Abiola garden 300, Secretariat 300, 7up 300, Mile-2 1000, I was just dumbfounded and didn't know what else to do. When I found out that those driver's won't reduce their price I had no other option than to board a bus going to Anthony like that at the rate of 500.
Arriving at the venue, it wasn't hard to locate, I met some other candidates too and others joined later.
Shortly after, a man came and introduced himself and ushered us into another location where there were chairs and tables already arranged.
To cut the long story short, we were given questions to answer in a sheet of paper and thereafter called one by one for oral interview with a woman (the boss).

Some people came out shortly after going in and some were given form to fill of which I later discovered to be Employment form and guarantor form. I was praying I should be given too.
It was finally my turn and the woman asked series of questions of which I responded well to but after everything I wasn't given any form to fill. I was so sad and devastated.
I left the premises feeling bad, angry and depressed.... I began reminiscing about my life, at another failure. I started walking aimlessly from Anthony down to Oworo on the highway, I hadn't eaten anything that day but I lost appetite, I didn't even know what else to do.

I had attended some interviews in Lagos few times without success and failing this also made me shed hot tears as I was walking aimlessly yesterday.

I got home and all my body was aching me especially my legs coupled with a serious headache, I couldn't sleep well last night.
just remembering the whole thing made me cry. I cried to bed last night cos I'm just fed up.
I am aging, most of my mates are doing well for themselves with better paying jobs and here I am without a good source of income and no savings.
It's really tiring and frustrating at the same time. Don't know what else to do.
Even if I'm to to start a business,I will still need capital so I have to work first.

Pls If God lay it on your heart to help me with a good paying job, I will be more glad, I just need to get out of this my present situation. I'm tired. I do feel depressed thinking about my life.

What is your qualification?

How much are you being paid in this present job?

What is your definition of a good paying job?

Fabulozz:
As titled above. I made the worst mistake in my life impregnating my baby mama for the second time. She and her mother had given me so much trouble in the past. I don't even know what came out of me to start sleeping with her again. Boom she is pregnant and has refused to abort.

She want me to pay her brideprice or else she will tell my wife. If only I had control my manhood I would have not found myself in this terrible situation.

What should I do now mature advice please?

Poison her bro

Funny thing my brother was kidnapped that same month in one village between ondo and ekiti. They collected 20m ransom. To think I no know that Bros get that kind money for hand. He also used reverse, but badluck as e try manuever with reverse and sharp turn car slide inside pit. Bros try run but hit gym e no gree na so so big Belle. Baba no reach 50m when dem catch am. Na him car we see when we dey try trace am second day with bullet holes on the bonnet.


They checked his account and confirmed e get 15m for account,. They asked him to call his wife and told him to be honest with how much e can afford. Dude said 20m


When he called that day,. Oga be like I was arrested but put your mind at rest they are treating me fine 😁😁😁. Baba dey talk under duress. We no even tell police till we pay ransom. They released him to us that same day. Nigeria as gone to the dogs sha

Let me share this, it happened between kabba and obajana last year November.

Was around 5pm and I was enroute Lagos for an urgent business meeting. Anyone who knows that route will appreciate the speed breaker dangote constructed and how plentiful police mount check point on the road In almost every 2km. That evening was a little different. Few police road block and all and after a while I noticed cars weren't coming so I took a chill pill while I reduced my speed considerably. Car was a 2016 Accord. At some point I noticed cars were parked up ahead and I noticed folks were outside. Looked more like a police check point or so. But I reduced my speed to like 50 just to double check and about reaching the corner I noticed 2 cars were already attacked na so I use reverse dey go. Gun shot sound no move me as adrenaline don over secrete. I use reverse Waka like 3km with heavy gunshot cars behind me noticed and started thesame, some were trying to make a u-turn. I got the chance and Jesus took the wheels as I used reverse to make a sharp turning and matched down hard in the gas pedal. Oboy I reach obajana come park. Other cars too. No security men was in sight. We waited for like 1hr before a police truck passed and we all followed through. Na so God saved my ass. They ended up kidnapping 4 people and killing one that day.

Neutrality is a farce…

And to know how ignorant you are you could not also go beyond to statement to apply it to everyday life.

Does Peter obi, Atiku or Kwankwaso know you exist?

Ignorance is a disease

Free the BAT supporter

One dumb thing about you guys is you believe when one speaks against a particular government, he is in support of the other candidates. That's a dumb reasoning which further explains the numbness.

You no go chop where you dey go......


Talk of a nice reasonable and future planning tailor

I admire your advertising skills.

The owner maybe asking for less like you said but don't also forget that the said owners are very greedy too reason many of them boast of selling their Toyota cars higher or selling at the same amount they bought after using said car for 10 years or more.


Reason they are always screaming resale value

Greed and madness.

doggedfighter:
Toyota people

I bought the tokunbo of this car 2.8 2021 it was even Sport.. I understand dollar rate is high but why the hell will anyone want to sell a Nigerian used at 3.8 for Christ sake. Funny thing, real owner might just be asking for 2.4 on it or so.

You folks will just put exhorbitant price on cars and frustrate the selling for the owner.


3.8 kwa. Una greed is above sky limit

slimmoney:

Early this year, i bought a toyota highlander 3mz engine but later discovered that the tappets are making noise. I gave the vehicle to a mechanic to change parts causing the noise. He made it worse. After his work, the vehicle have a hard start, the rev goes up and down, to moves at about 300 metre and stop firing. I scan the vehicle and it was crankshaft position sensor, bank 1. My mechanic is still not convince. Please what do I do.

From the Rev sef it's obvious Camshaft position sensor. Tell your mechanic to check the timing.

Should be camshaft position sensor not crankshaft. It's timing related. Get a professional In that aspect to recheck the timing. Camshaft and crankshafts are two different things.

So, the VIN of the hilux was legally changed in Nigeria to the one car scanner will detect when used on it?

Legally I can't say.

Changing a Vehicle's VIN


clement clement
Why will VIN of a vehicle change?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle that identifies its make, model, year, and other important information. In general, the VIN of a vehicle does not change during its lifetime, as it serves as a permanent and unique identifier for that specific vehicle.

However, there are certain situations where the VIN of a vehicle may change. Some common reasons include:

Vehicle reconstruction: If a vehicle is severely damaged and needs to be rebuilt, a new VIN may be assigned to the rebuilt vehicle. This is usually done to help track the history of the vehicle and ensure that it is safe to operate on the road.

Title issues: If there are issues with the title of a vehicle, such as fraud or a mistake on the paperwork, a new VIN may be assigned to the vehicle to clear up any confusion or legal issues.

Stolen or recovered vehicles: In some cases, stolen vehicles may be recovered and assigned a new VIN to prevent them from being sold illegally.

Importing/exporting: When a vehicle is imported or exported to another country, it may need to have its VIN changed to comply with local regulations or to prevent fraud.

Overall, while the VIN of a vehicle typically does not change during its lifetime, there are certain situations where a new VIN may be assigned to the vehicle for legal or safety reasons.

Thanks for educating us all. I know of the vehicle reconstruction part. Once happened to a Hilux I know of all thanks to a ghastic accident and our smart panel beaters.

Not sure you are correct with the accusation either; STOLEN used in the subject was used to catch attention.

As other people have said, it might be for other reasons and I'm not disputing that.

If you were you the one knowing that about the car, will you still go ahead buying it?

See you are correct.

onlinediva:
Despite the subject, please read the original post stating two options.

You quoted a post in which I responded to someone who said vin could have changed because the engine was changed.

I quoted the fact over 4 folks have lined up different reasons apart stolen and you are arguing it with them and going back to your earlier stolen claim.

I'm not disputing it might be a stolen car, but we learn to unlearn. I logged In to Reddit just now to see why VIN can be tampered with and I saw many folks having different reasons. Stolen is one of it not all of it.

There are lots of reasons a car VIN be manipulated, stolen is one of it not all of it. Let's not rush to throw out blind judgement it's called cynicism

onlinediva:
Not sure change of ECU can make the VIN to change.

Experts in the house should talk on that.

As for me, every VIN number is different, and a VIN number will not change during the lifetime of a vehicle. Think of your car's VIN number like its DNA—it's unique to your vehicle, doesn't change, and can provide valuable information about the vehicle.

Are you sure you want to learn or remain cynical? You have an already made argument for everyone trying to prowess a solution to why the DNA is manipulated. Obviously, you just want to believe it's stolen and force your points down our throat

That's a forest cobra..... You are lucky it's not a spitting cobra if not the hunter would have been hunted.


Very belligerent one
