I got my first job at 17, almost immediately I finished my SSCE.


It was as a Chemistry teacher in a lesson centre. The centre was owned by one of my secondary school seniors.

I worked there for few months and earned my first salary there before entering the university

Sadly, my guy died in the UK during the COVID period

Umueme:
"Never argue with a fool, he'll drag you down to his class and beat you with experience "
This your quote makes too much sense...
Distance yourself from lowlife. They will drag you down to their class and beat you at it. You will become miserable trying to figure out what is realy happening.
Unnecessary malice, Unnecessary attitude and unnecessary behaviour.
You will be left wondering how can such a lowlife keep malice with you. But what that person is doing is to get you notice them and from there, they will plan their next move.
Never give them the room in the first place.

Started labour job in 2008 and I stopped in 2018 just a year to end my university education. This is what I used to hold body and soul during those time at school. I have done different kind of odd jobs. Factory, block industry, rental service, site work, tiles work, worked in a farm etc...

In 2019, just after my final year examination I got a paid job in a warehouse as a storekeeper with a salary of 50k while waiting for NYSC mobilisation and in 2020 I got mobilised...

After NYSC in Feb 2021, took me 20 months to land a paid employment in Oct 2022 thou I was in a volunteering role. Resigned after 6 months of landing this job in Mar 2023 because of the toxicity of the work environment. I was drained physically and mentally had to flee for my life....

I am now into buying and selling while also looking for opportunities. The goals is to keep pushing. No room for excuses.....
