I want to say something again. I noticed especially in Nigerians. We be like well it's not only me that's suffering. I'm not the only jobless person others are poor too and that thought alone gives us some kind of relief. The same kind of relief we get when the power goes out and we immediately go to check if it affected everyone else if yes then we feel relaxed, I'm not the only one.. If you ever find yourself in this trap best shake it off.. All the comments I have read makes the OP feel God saved him some are even abusing the guy, some are saying God will punish him, God this, God that.. Look that man that gave you money to return was sent to give you your compensation ticket out of the race, that guy was sent to bring you out forcibly to Lagos( that's where your glory is) but no you run back to PH... If you must be successful you can't be seeing things like everyone else. You have to see things differently, dangerously, more like in a risky way. I believe you are a Christian, so you don't believe the red sea can part for you. Timid timid timid timid cry cry baby. Your consolations and your poor fans will keep you relaxed for some time, don't worry reality will soon set in again. Timid timid timid cry baby. So with all the insecurity issues tha abound about town, you want him to sleep under the bridge to prove he is not a cry baby and possibly get himself killed? Anyone reading this and thinking of taking this risks should better think again.. 13 Likes |

First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them...

Op must have done something terrible to him in the past, cos I don't want to believe that a friend will make Op travel all the way to Lagos, even talk to him en-route assuring him all is well, then ghost him, no way he was just plainly wicked, no way. The Op might not have done anything wrong to him it seem you don't know people don't trust anyone in this life , this life is a lesson we learn almost everyday such is life, I'll advice the op to forget everything his friend did to him and move God has a big plan for you |

What a friend did to me last week.
Just like in my case, so many graduates in the country are today, traumatized, depressed or even suicidal. Nothing is more depressing than seeing oneself jobless after several years of graduation. More annoying is when there's no finance to even start a business no matter how brilliant the business idea could be. If I have capital or even a collateral to use and get some money somewhere, I would rest completely from job hunting.
My ordeal.
Few months ago, I stumbled on a friend on Facebook whom we were school mates back in secondary school. His parents resided outside the state which he normally came back on school resumption and would go back during holidays.
On meeting him on Facebook, taking a look at his pictures, he's obviously doing well and claimed he's working with an international NGO. I told him my pains which is unemployment. Immediately, he was happy and telling me not to worry again that with his connections here and there, I'll get a job. His promise was to fix me either in the NGO, an insurance company, factory work or any other place of which he has links and connections.
We talked extensively and negotiated my movement and arrived I should come over last week. The plans was to stay in his 2 bedroom apartment and until 3-4 months when I can rent my own place. So I moved from Rivers state to Lagos Monday last week with just 16k on me. En route Lagos, we were keeping in touch so to know how closer I am and until I got to Lagos (God is Good Motors park) around 8pm. I called him that I have arrived the park and he said he was coming to pick me.
Long story short, that was the last time his number went. Initially, I thought it was network, or may be temporary low battery. I kept dialling the number through out the night but it never went again. Of course I had no choice than to sleep in the park. Woke up the next morning hoping his number would go but still same. I had no body else in Lagos nor knowing any where as that was my first time in Lagos. So I was just roaming around the park the whole day like a lost sheep, hungry, frustrating and pains but still hoping for his call but none came. When I tried reaching via Facebook and realized I was blocked, that was when it dawned on me that I have to start going back immediately. Already, transport fare from PH to Lagos finished about N10,500. So I was left with about 4k on me. At that point in the evening, I knew my best bet as I said earlier was to find my way back immediately but I didn't even have enough cash for my return. I had no option than to start telling people about my predicament and appealed for help to raise fund to return home the next morning. I was mocked and laughed at while some were asking to buy my phone at a very ridiculous amount. But then at that point, I could have sold it at the ridiculous amount but the phone was the only medium of communication with people especially my mum who was already worried over the journey right from the onset. I kept approaching people to help me and until one man graciously completed the money for me and I paid for my return.
On reaching home, I did nothing than thanking God that at least my case wasn't like that of late Iniobong Umoren. At least I came back home alive...which is the most important thing. But what I don't understand is why the guy chose to be that wicked to me forgetting this world is a very small place. I mean if there was never a job, why did he have to put me through that? Anyways, I have since moved on. Not even swearing/cursing him but leave everything for God. Such is life!
Fellow nairalanders, that is the dairy of a Nigerian job seeker. This leave me with the question, "will Nigeria ever be good for ordinary Nigerian?" Oga!!!
Yo Tori get as e be Ooo........probably there is something u still not saying
.........some people think they can just hurt others in the past and get away with it........jux may but not with everyone..........
I had not a close friend back then in uni........who complained/narrated to me how his former roommate maltreated him and forced him packing..........
Told him to packing in with me....... .since I was staying alone Ooo but that was my biggest undoing..........nigga came in with nothing not even the smallest thing..........always thought he was smarter cos I wasnt the talking type sha.........Painful part was..........my guy would instead save/keep money sent to him and sometimes ate outside when we ran out of foodstuff while I was left me to my fate.........
Above all..........he still went ahead to say trash bout me to the girl I was chykin back then and ended up fucking her,seized my stuff cos I couldn't pay back the 1k I owed him on time......... He might have forgotten all that but......... tell me why"i wouldnt bleep him up really hard if I was once more in a position to help me"
All this happened 6years back but still kinda fresh in head........

OP.. In as much as it was a terrible experience for you, you have to be sure of the facts. You said he has blocked you hence you can't reach him.
Use another phone number and try to reach him via voice calls. At least make we know say something bad didn't happen to him. It's weird he'd ghost you just when he was supposed to come pick you up. You know as this Lagos be with stories of robbery and kidnap here.
Sha make sure say him dey ok. |

Not all. There was never a time like that. Stop making yourself to be the victim here. I despise your friend and such attitudes from people but your number one mistake was naivety. You obviously saw photos of him on Facebook then believed that all was well with him. All those flashy bits you saw were all fake and he probably also started telling you lies from the beginning before you opened up about your predicament. I’m not making excuses on his behalf but you don’t travel from PH to Lagos with just N16k in your pocket to live with a guy who occupies a 2 bedroom apartment hoping to stay with him for 3 months. You should be thanking your God for not meeting him at all. Your little experience in being homeless will make you stronger. Think and stop depending on people. I’m sure you had lots of opportunities to earn little cash here and there but avoids them because the jobs were too dirty and degrading for someone like you. Know this...there are lots of dirty jobs out there but the cash in your hands doesn’t tell the source. Like you, a friend called his cousin that he was coming to the Uk some years back...this guy landed at Heathrow, called his cousin and guess what?...the number went into voice mail  but he wasn’t that silly, he had plan B and C. His cousin posts photos of himself in winter jackets, combat trousers and Rockport boots even in summer. My guy didn’t know the difference between summer and winter. Like you he saw a successful person but then he wasn’t fooled. He hit the ground running, never wasted time moaning about the lies and mistreatment. He got it right, became a success. Don’t be deceived by Facebook and social media photos. You can achieve in Ph what you hoped to achieve in Lagos. Get out there and work. Nigeria is tight and hard but there are lots of things you can do to build yourself up. 7 Likes |

I had thought about all that, reminiscing in our moments during those days but can't wrap up my mind anywhere I offended him. None at all. Most Lagos guys live fake ! I have a schl friend that came from lag I gave accommodation because of transcript issues,he stayed for three days and then I was newly married. After three years,I had a promotion interview...had to call him to accommodate me but I also made plan B in case. When I got to Lagos, called him that I have almost reached and how fa...he said he would get back to me but never did. Well he called later in the evening of the next day that whatsup,told him I'm embarking on a night bus journey and so bye bye to him. He called again last yr for accommodation again here , but I had to send him a number to call so he can manage with the person..cant inconvenience myself for such person. No more time for ungrateful and unfriendly friend!

I’m sure you had lots of opportunities to earn little cash here and there but avoids them because the jobs were too dirty and degrading for someone like you. Know this...there are lots of dirty jobs out there but the cash in your hands doesn’t tell the source.
Like you, a friend called his cousin that he was coming to the Uk some years back...this guy landed at Heathrow, called his cousin and guess what?...the number went into voice mail but he wasn’t that silly, he had plan B and C. His cousin posts photos of himself in winter jackets, combat trousers and Rockport boots even in summer. My guy didn’t know the difference between summer and winter. Like you he saw a successful person but then he wasn’t fooled. He hit the ground running, never wasted time moaning about the lies and mistreatment. He got it right, became a success.
Don’t be deceived by Facebook and social media photos.
You can achieve in Ph what you hoped to achieve in Lagos. Get out there and work. Nigeria is tight and hard but there are lots of things you can do to build yourself up. I believe there are still smart people among us and you are proof of that.. Now let me quote you here, you said "but then he wasn't fooled, he hit the ground running, never wasted time moaning about the lies and mistreatment. He got it right and became a success".. Same thing I said.. He should have stayed in Lagos that's where his glory is. PH is his comfort zone. He's a timid guy, first mistake telling another man your predicament as if he's your God, now a man showed you why he's man.. Some fake Christian girl quoted me saying I advise him to sleep under bridge wit the insecurity issues and no one should take my advice.. I replied saying some slept under bridge, some are billionaries, some are still under that same bridge. My smart bro, sorry I'm writing much here but African Christians are all fake.. Our VP is proof.. Once again thank you for what you wrote as you were the only one who agrees with me.. Have a blessed Sunday. 3 Likes |

There's probably something you did to offend him; which you might not have noticed or determined as an offence.
But all the same, that's life for you.
Perhaps, you should try as much as possible to reach him. I know it's less likely not his fault but there's a slight possibility too.
Who knows what exactly happened?
Maybe your friend's phone has been stolen or something.
maybe he's in danger as we speak.
God knows best Didn't you read where the op said he was blocked on Facebook as well. What kind of danger is that |

Firstly. Im happy you re safe,
secondly, im happy that he didnt lure you into a kidnapping den,
thirdly, im happy that people helped you raise your tfare back, and you landed home safely.
But i want you to learn something from the whole scenerio.
From now on, get the message that there is no friend,
you re your best friend.
Secondly, try to fix yourself up with something to do,
find the financial track yourself,
rely more on yourself than any friend.
Get something to do right there where you are, start little, and as you re doing that one be scouting for better jobs,
the world of employment is changing, we re having more graduate every year and less company created, here in Nigeria, there is an imbalance between job creation, & availability of labour, so we have to think smart, and be street oriented, if the job isnt coming, get up, go into that street, find how you can use your acquired knowledge to bring up something, if it didnt work, try a small job for a start, you dont grow up once you were born, its gradual.
Pick the positives from your experience, & make it a ladder to propel you to your greatness.
May God bless you |

Even the senior student that beat me back then in secondary school, I can't do such to him. But any day I get him I must deal with him. |

This story hit home and i can relate so i shed a tear. God dey, the first rule in life is trust NO ONE. you came alone and you will depart alone.
You might want to listen to BLESSED (schoolboy Q ft Kendrick Lamar) while reading while you light up a blunt, it'd help you a lot
Know this and know peace.
you can hit the ground running with a few tips below I you don't have any profitable venture at the monent, this..can be applied to almost anything if you think critically.
imma keep it real with you like my brother from another mother, The educational system in Nigeria has been watered down a great deal but there are still opportunities for grassroot hustlers, best believe that.
All you need now is a hustler's ambition / mindset, you need to grind like one who has no mother or father, its cold out there.
In Nigeria, there are two classes of people (Living things and non living things)...you need to be amongst the living and stop whinning and complaining about this and that, nobody has it easy. If everyone comes to Nairaland beer parlor with his or her story, you go thank God for your life.
Bum imma share some gems with you real quick and if you are street wise, you will take action immediately.
If you must make it in Nigeria, you must think like an OUTLAW. push your fine boy and degree aside, roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running.
however, If you are techy (digital marketing, ecommerce, mini importation)
If you are dead broke don't venture into programming, you cannot effectively learn programming on an empty stomach with lack of data
If you are hands on Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, interior design solar design and installation, phone and laptop repair
Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat,
ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...We all blessed my nigga !
Reach me privately if you are interested in gadget importation and sales from US.
Whatsapp - 0.8.1.1.9.7.5.6.1.4.4. You are blessed among millions! May God continue to bless the works of your hands. God bless your parents for giving us a King like you. You are a wise man. You have a brilliant, bright and fruitful future ahead of you man. Stay blessed. #TeamLegit. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

This story similar to many other peoples experience particularly outside nigeria.
A friend of mine got to newyork, called the person that promised to host him.
The person said sorry I cant host you as promised.
He was then forced to think of alternative.
Me I got to europe.
I was immediately thinking of returning back home.
But because nigeria was bad, there was no home to return to. I wish I could've stayed back but how? |

In as much as I agree to your opinion, It will only take someone with great ambition and desire to pull it through, like you said he is a timid guy and it's obvious he is scared of the unknown that is why he choose the easy part( i.e his comfort zone) ...Not everyone is a risk taker, it's not for a mediocre. |
