I was accosted by one when I was on my way to work and he asked me if I'm not tired of working for someone and I should start working for myself. I replied that I work for myself and I think he needs to work for someone because his shoes and clothes are nothing to write home about. The guy walked away feeling miserable.

NIce one grin

If you are in Lagos avoid interviews scheduled at places like Agege, Mushin, Onikpanu and like places. Beta still srutinize them before attending

GNLD experience is better imagined than experienced I once fell for their scam due to my desperation of getting a job before going for NYSC. Naso I dress up that hot afternoon looking forward to my first interview. I didn't tell anyone cos I wanted it to be a surprise. The obscurity of the address at isolo speaks Volumes of their scam, once you drop at dat isolo bridge dressed as a job seeker, the bike men already know your destination.
I finally got to the venue of the interview to my greatest disappointment, I knew I had fallen for this ponzy scheme called GNLD . I met several people seated already, while others were taking their leave as it was done in batches. The small kiosk was littered with motivational quotes neatly written on cardboard and placed strategically on every corner of the room. I wanted to leave but something within me wanted to see this adventure to the very end.
After several minutes of waiting, a haggard looking douchebag came to address us. For the first time I saw someone dressed in a tie and dirty canvas speaking so confidently. As he was speaking, I was calculating how the small change left in my wallet would take me home. In that tiny kiosk, the reality of unemployment dawned on me. Seeing graduates dressed neatly with no job ready to jump on anything available sent cold shivers down my spine. When I couldn't take it anymore, I decided to take my leave and begin my long trek home.
I would never forget that day in a hurry, I trekked all the way from isolo to oke afa; those who know that route would understand better. After that experience I lost interest going for NYSC because of the sad reality job seekers face after youth service.
Some things happen to us in life for a reason. Prior to that bitter experience, I had this belief that the best panacea for unemployment was getting good grades from the University. I was totally wrong because in that tiny kiosk, I saw young smart graduates with good grades without jobs. I went for my NYSC with a totally pessimistic mindset that the job market was totally saturated. I spent the better part of my youth service reading career books just to give me an edge. While others were idling away, I was busy applying for jobs little wonder I spent 60 percent of my alawee on transport. Traveling from one state to another in order to attend job interviews.
In the words of Alexander Goldsmith "where determination is predominant, failure cannot dismantle the flag of success".I got several job offers less than 3 months after NYSC as a result of my ruggedness during job search and self development not forgetting baba God. I gate crashed several test and attended several interviews which prepared me for the big stage. I guess the fear of hawking drugs for GNLD was my motivating factor.
In a sane environment, ponzy schemes like GNLD would never see the light of the day. For young job seekers, beware of job adverts using yahoo and Gmail. Always verify before embarking on such trips. May God bless our hustle.
