Giving Up In Life Is Never An Option, See This Personal Experience

Good day Nairalanders.
So I saw a thread that hit front page about ways of getting new jobs and I remembered this my personal experience and decided to share


I remembered applying for work at the federal Inland Revenue service here in Abuja, immediately after my service by the way i studied economics , so names was shortlisted for interview, we wrote the test and out of 15,000 candidates, though exams was scheduled separate days because of number of applicants , 50 was successfull and was short listed boom I checked and my name was number 18, my joy knew no bound, I didn't tell anyone as I wanted to take my people by surprise including my parents and siblings.
after that interview, they invited us for an oral interview.

I attended the interview and after the interview, 35 name was successful, I checked boom my name was number 12 on the list,
After the interview, we where all given breakdown of how the salary was like, omo, I see money tears dropped from my eyes, I was anticipating how to renovate my family house after working like for 6 months and changing my parents car as it was well deserved,

After the interview we where waiting for a mail to confirm our employment letter and posting, after waiting for 2 weeks no news, I went to the headquarters were we did our interview and was reliably informed that new recruit had resume work since, I made further inquiry and I was made to understand that the final interview was done on Sunday, and our names were replaced with people that lobbied,
I shouted, on Sunday, ?? Government work?? And we where never informed and
minimum of 7million naira was used to swap our names with the people that paid.

I find cry, I no see, I was depressed for almost 2 months, my babe will come and see me emantiating by the day as I refuse to eat, this girl will come to my house and cry from Morning till night begging me to eat, chai true love they shaa, love really shark her that year, but I bounced back to my feet and moved on.
And thank God, I am doing well for myself, and I pray that the Lord continues to shower me and everyone that refuse to give up blessings in abundance.

Most times when you see people contemplating suicide on the media, don't use it as a joke, encourage them not to commit suicide if u must comment, because most people vent their frustrations on the media waiting for validation, and believe me they do take anything said to them to heart 100%, unlike other people out there, I never contemplated suicide because I know I have got a thick skin and can survive the street, one of the advantages of being street smart, e never get wetin eye never see, so trolling and name calling and shaming on the internet don't move people like me, learn how to develop a thick skin in every situation like this. Most importantly don't ever wait for media validation in your personal life, what the media says don't mean nothing and won't affect you in anyway, know this and know peace

I hope someone learnt one or two things from my story.

Right now I feel like sharing my June 2020 to October 2021 story but nairalanders go sharperly say it's either dem swear for me or I no get sense or I get bad luck but one great lesson I learnt is, learn to keep your mouth shut and resist the urge to shalaye..
Under a year, I went from begging on nairaland to making more than 2million and back to zero balance again..
But we move.
We must learn a lesson...
We must keep moving till we succeed..
It was a hell of an experience..
If i was asked if I regret my decisions? The answer will be yes and no.. Am way past being depressed even though the situation almost took my life, I go heaven come back but here we are, lesson learnt, eye is totally opened and ideas full ground, na just blessing of God I dey wait for to proceed

I can relate 100% because ve been in such a situation before, but we move. Never say never.
Better opportunities dey come

A country that runs on such a level of corruption as though it’s oxygen or petrol can go nowhere but down, and this isn’t me being pessimistic; I’m just saying it the way it is. No person, organisation, or country can cheat their way into greatness.

How can you have so many unproductive and underproductive people “sorting” their way into unmerited positions across all levels of government and drawing monthly salaries from government coffers and still expect greatness as a nation? That’s like the robbery of the national treasury by most government workers.

In this country only the strong shall survive.

Those who paid to take your position have inadvertently taken all your pain, sorrow, early death and frequent sicknesses in life, God will surely give you a better song in due course

I can relate, I had the same experience with NCDC in 2016 or so. I came out as one of the top 3 candidates but our names were swapped in Abuja. I was even asked to bring 500k but around that time to even feed was a big challenge, not to talk of raising 500k.
The level of injustice going on in this country is heartbroken, you need to grow a thick skin to beat the odds in Nigeria especially if you are from a humble background. But God has been faithful so far sha.

Same also happened to me this year, I applied for the Ogun tescom job 50 was the cut off I had 70. I was shortlisted for the interview travelled from Ibadan to Abeokuta for the interview.My hope was dashed when I heard people have resumed work after about a month after the interview. A friend whose mum was in the system later told me that people where picked according to lga slot. Have kuku move on, if you need a graphic designer am available for all type of graphic design.

Nice one OP
The Nigerian setting is full of corrupt and evil minded people

Na the babe own I wan confirm, may God bless your union

I have a similar experience! It happened that in 2012 Nimasa advert came out for Nigerian seafarers prog. Which I was selected out of thousands that wrote the test in stadium in Lagos, infact I scored 96 over 100.
Selected candidates were called 4 interview and I was among the final 100Nigerian selected to travel to Malaysia for 1yr training as a professional seafarer with huge allowances by FG then come back n work 4 the govt.
We were kept in a 5star hotel for more than 2weeks in Apapa making arrangement such as medicals and int'l passport all done by Nimasa enjoying myself n telling myself I don finally make am 4 life.
We were then asked to go home and start making arrangement in less than 1week cos our admission letter was already on ground to the school NMIT Malaysia. Omo guys till today since 2012 after we left that hotel we did not hear anything again till today.......Life happens I have moved on but for weeks/months I was depressed but God helped me.

........God has lifted me today. I thankGod I did not give up in life.

I like your courage bro. We move.
This is NIGERIA

ok

Ogun kill Nigeria.

Could this be true

All government job is strictly for the highest bidder which could be financially or connection. No recruitment is done, it is purely replacement. Na slot wey nor reach dem share dem wan be give anybody. Say because you sabi book or watin. Even private are highly emulating that pattern. Don't take it to heart, just see it as a motivation to strive harder & explore every avenue to succeed.

It is well my brother, we'd all shine in due time.

Life goes ON.

If you are currently unemployed or underemployed, you might want to check this out.

Man must survive, it's a cold world out there.


Find someone who is doing a business and making sales offline. You’ll find many of them in Onitsha, Computer village, Aba, Alaba, Aspamda, Idumota, etc.


Most of these people have no idea what goes on online. They also do not care what goes on online.


All they care about is making sales and getting money flowing into the business daily.

Be their online person.

Bring their business online, and advertise to those who want what they sell.


You will make money doing this.
You’ll make a lot of money doing this.


As a woman, you can open an online shop for that woman selling lace in Aba, and add money on top onto for yourself. That’s your own profit on every sale.


As a guy, you can open an online store store for that man selling computers at Computer village.


Read information from Google and publish content about computers and what people should look out for before buying a laptop.


More people would begin to reach out to you when need laptops.


Reach out to that guy who makes shoes and footwear in your neighborhood and be their online guy.


Promote what they make online and add your own profit.

Look around you, look where others are neglecting, you’ll find a gem.

You can’t afford to be idle for long.
You can’t afford to stay broke.
You can’t afford to continue earning a meagre salary every month.

You don’t need to be a genius to make money online, and have a better life.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

You will make a lot of money.
Not just money...

You will build your confidence.
Your influence will grow, and...
You’ll attract more opportunities to yourself.
You need to start operating smartly.

Look for a business that is offline, bring it online and get them SALES.

Thank me later when you hit your first M.

7m naira? I am sure the person your name was replaced with is a Northerner. This country is finished.

Is this what this country has turned into

If you are in Lagos, I am into production, packaging and distribution of popcorn and we have different distributors in different areas. If you want to partner with me and we share profit. Contact me

.I went to the headquarters were we did our interview and was reliably informed that new recruit had resume work since, I made further inquiry and I was made to understand that the final interview was done on Sunday, and our names were replaced with people that lobbied,
I shouted, on Sunday, ?? Government work?? And we where never informed and
minimum of 7million naira was used to swap our names with the people that paid

A staff told u this? You're a liar. How much is the annual salary that people will pay N7m.
Only foolish and gullible people will believe this trash. If we're talking Shell or Mobil I go hear.
Renovate house and buy car in 6 months. Is it not that same agency wey my cousin be dey work? Their salary is just average, slightly better than Ministry. Most of their young ambitious staff are leaving. Overrated piece of crap.
