Nigeria of nowadays has reduced a graduate to something insignificance to the society,last year 2020,I saw hell that could have taken my life,(oh Lord I thank you)can't just believe I could pass through those challenges and gradually coming out of them. Last year 2020 I lost my job due to covid-19 effect on business,I had no hope of what next to do,I was home during the lockdown without hope,I was depressed and couldn't afford basic things anymore which also affected my mum also. Luckily or what do I call it,my mum friend came,she got to know the ordeal I was passing through,she asked if I can do anything for survival apart from stealing which I replied yes in affirmation. The next day she told me to dress up and try hold some cash up to 15k the next day,I did that without even thinking twice. Now the journey of survival begun,we board a bus from sango going to idiroko the boarder side,we stopped at a town called ilase,I was neatly dressed thinking I want to resume a white collar job,after we dropped at ilase,she took me to shop where smuggled rice is being kept for resale to smugglers who could beat customs and security forces and make huge gains after a trip,then foreign rice was just like gold,a bag of rice was sold around 35k then but at ilase,you could get it as low as 15k,I was scared and shaking,the thought of heavy checking points along that road nearly made me collapse,but when I saw a female student also into smuggling,I had to summon courage and face my fears. Now this is how it started,I had a school bag then,I bought a bag of rice for 14,500 then,I shared the rice into three places,which is 4rubber paints, altogether a bag consists of 12rubber paints.i put four into the school bag and back it like someone going somewhere important,then hardly you see any cars stop to carry any passenger who intends to smuggle rice no matter how small its but the way I dressed couldn't make them have the thought that rice could be the thing inside my bag. Comfortably I would sit at the front sit with confidence, whenever we get to every check points, custom officials mostly look for women based on the fact that that they use every means to hide rice,some split it into bum,while some in their boobs and even inside their head tie,they all just ignore me,at the end after finishing a bag,I use to make about 12k daily after transportation. I did this for 6months and kept praying to God to open a new and better way. I invested most of the money on poultry which I sold off last year december,I bought a car hoping that I could use it to run taxi business,I started it just as planned but the car started developing faults plus traffic officials confiscating my car,these immediately made me lost interest on the business,I parked the car at home,my former company called me to work as a contract staff which I accepted and that's how I am surviving now. One thing I understand is, in Nigeria,you can do everything right and yet still fails,only grace that makes a man to be successful after hard work 10 Likes |

Ficient:@The bolded, the guys are making it big in my area. I have been trying to get my hands on one, but the price is very much on the high side for someone like me. I have tried my luck with private lessons also, but many parents are not willing to go that extra mile for their children, unless you are willing to do it for free. Thank you very much for this comment. I really appreciate. 3 Likes |

Gbogbowa:Bro, suicide is not an option. You have to hustle hard. Think about your family and let them be the fuel you need. I pray God sees you through and may all these be in the past. They'll all become stories you talk and laugh about when God has finally picked your call. Cheers! 2 Likes |

Gbogbowa: No offense but that's bullshhit. Family planning is free in federal hospitals, so there's no excuse. Most poor people at illiterates and when you advice them on family planning, they will tell you that it is God who gives children or some funny lame excuse. I don't pray to be poor but I've said I won't have more than 2 kids if my income after expenses is less than 500k a month. No be me like sex pass but I do it with my head. Na wa o 11 Likes |
