my name is joshua a chemical engineering graduate. it is so difficult to survive as a hardworking, honest and God fearing person here in Nigeria. After my NYSC i have been struggling from place to place, looking for opurtunities. i always shuttle from lagos to portharcourt...thinking that one day it will be well. i just discovered that it will never be well..

When we were in secondary school we were told to get a good course..my parents were happy when i got chemical engineering..then in school it was get a good result..that was no problem, i got a second class upper.

Ater service it was get certified..ahh, no wahala.. i got my NEBOSH certificate..then again some said it was connection..ok, i joined lots of proffesional whatsapp groups after much work, i even had to pay for some...funny enough the so called proffesional group failed woefully.

twice i was called for a job brief..twice i was rejected..the first reason was because i am igbo the woman saw my name and her countenance changed though she dashed me 2k and told me the usual words i would get back to you..ok, fair enough. The second was in portharcourt i was rejected because
of my church..Roman catholic.. hmmm. A young man was also rejected for same reason he kept on complaining while i was just laughing..though later i begged him for #100 for my TP, he gave me sha.. he is a nice man.

ok. i had to go back to the drawing board..met some people and they said i should just do further courses..oooo! course again, ok.. no wahala. i begged my mum to sell her bike for 110k so i can add 30k and do process safety and loss prevention..she accepted.. i sold the bike and did the course.. yet, no interview call. i said ok let me visit companies and give them the cv..my brother no show.

i sat still again..and then reviewed my cv..paid 2k for push CV to review the cv..still no luck.. downloaded CV review app used it time and time again. same results.. no calls.

the only thing i get everyday is insults from my Father and some relatives of how lazy and weak i am...this is not fair life itself is not fair..is it not better to die? after working hard in school and after school for about 8-10 years no result for it..

People will always say dont be tired but my brother i don tire... i know many of us have same story, but for me the only thing i can do to make the pain easy.. is write..

Nigeria is not worth it.. did i tell you i briefly went into business?.. but how can you do well in business without long time experience.. it is always difficult..well, the pressure is much and i see that breaking point is close... only God knows Tomorrow.

These days the only thing that comes to my mind is suicide..i have downloaded lots of books to see if i can find a solution.. but none yet.. please if you have good advice for me i am willing to hear it.

thanks
E Joshua


what if I tell you there is an opportunity to work with shell in the USA? Will you take it? I really pity your condition and from your writeup you seem very intelligent.
Forget this shell nonsense recruitment they are doing. If I lie or kid you, let me not see Tomorrow and my life be ruined.
But what you need is your international passport and 400k. If I could raise you,I swear to God who made me,I will and you get to pay me later but right now,water pass garri in some way.
You don't need to pay me, all due process will be in your presence and it's only one slot available. Two slot actually but I already financed my brother,he left today. Some left 27th last month

Suicide should never be an option. Since you're an Engineer and you have a good result, try and leave this country. Apply for admission overseas, preferably Canada and Germany where you can work and study.

God be with you.

if paying you will give me the job or even a call... i would gladly do it. am not so shallow to just call people scammers.. i have paid lots of people in the past though

Try teaching for now and if you know your ways, you will make much more than you can dream of. I can guide you through it. I had almost a similar fate but I quickly opt for teaching at a meager salary of 12k 2 years. today, the least I earn when schools are on holiday is 8 times what I started with per month

The fact that you have been contemplating suicide is a clear indication that you don't deserve a job. A weak being you must be and can bend to pressure if employed.

I also detected some snide tribalism, defeatist complex and a siege mentality (the whole World is against me).

If many people assessed him as LAZY, maybe he should brutally look at himself without self-bias.

A girl i dated, just before getting my first job, told me "you have a sensitive skin" and it would be to my detriment. After the 1st turbulent months, i saw this was true and adjusted accordingly.

As Benekruku said... in the workplace, he would face a lot of pressure and can't keep thinking suicide is the way out of problems.

Good Luck to the OP

Today i will say am better now

Please start from somewhere.
Re: Hope For A Graduate by alfajohn: 1:43pm On Jun 02, 2017
Mr man don't do anything stupid o. The future is very bright. This is just a dark cloud in the horizon it will soon clear away. If people at the top tell you what they went through you will be stunned. I was jobless for 7 years after I had worked and lived in one of the best company quarters in Nigeria with all the perks. It was tiring but I never gave up. Their is a bible passage that says I will pursue, overtake and recover all. Now my friends and colleagues who had work through my period of joblessness are not better than me. Honestly am better than most. Bros chillax better times are coming. As a senior colleague of yours in this journey of life PM me. I promise to assist in any way I can.

.. as i speak i pray God give me the grace to see 2mao and the coming week and even the coming year.. only God's grace is what i have now.. my strenght is exhausted

You can't give up now. No, you can't! The light at the other end of the tunnel must shine - for you and for all those whom life has weighed down. This hard time must pass, ok? Suicide is never an option and you are not permitted to commit it.

Now tell me, how are you going to pay your mother for all her love and sacrifices if you do it?

How are you going to prove to the world that God is still in the business of answering prayers and turning situations around if you take your own life?

I mean how will you face God if you go earlier than He has proposed for you?
You must live to share your testimony with us.

I pray God to locate you, favour you and grant you that which you have been asking Him - that very lucrative job.

Don't you ever give up, dear.

op you sound depressed which is not a good thing.. my advice to you is never lose hope, the bible says that a living dog is better than a dead lion.. see it takes God nothing to change your story but you have to believe he can because those that must come to him must believe he is and a rewarder of all who diligently seek him... my advise dont lose hope tomorrow will surely be brighter and those who mock you will celebrate you...

now with respect to your job, i will tell you that getting a full time job offer now is somewhat difficult so my advice is for you to try getting job through recruitment agencies there are alot of them and you can get decent jobs with decent pay before God finally gives you your desired breakthrough...
here are a list of some outsourcing firms i know, you can do further research online

Am a 2012 graduate,5 good yrs after graduation,hmmm, best lady in my set, 2-1 Electrical and computer Engineering! With my CCNA and my little ICT experience, still nothing! I always pray for one major thing to my creator, "patience "!.so I can bear all.. .
Dear, go hussle software skills and learn, like coding or developing softwares... Those have great promises. All the best to us

I can relate. I had CCNA, CCNP, and even CCIE plus three years of experience on the networking field still no job.

I graduated in 2013 but in 2016 I had an opportunity to install a computer network for one one Micro Finanace Bank close to my area (I actually assisted a friend of mine in a company)

Fast forward to today, I am gainfully employed.

So just keep on the patience my sis. I will suggest you get a little experience from a networking firm like an voluntary intern.

Whilst wasting all those years since you finished school in search of job that is nowhere, what happened to enrolling in a skill acquisition center?

The problem with us in this country is that, we carry about a delusional mentality that made it seem like once you are a graduate, your chances of landing your dream job is 90%, which is actually not true. Even 5% of graduates in the country hardly get the job. And even that 5% are those that are strongly connected and not just connected. We seriously need to change this mindset.

The point is, what happened to having a skill as your PLAN B?

This may sound weird and maybe too spiritual.

FIND GOD and cry desperately to HIM in prayers.

As a lady with 6 siblings(am the first born) I lost my Dad at age 19 while still struggling to get admission to University. My mum was just a petty trader then, the Uncle that could have helped died few months later. I never saw a future.

A certain sympathiser/uncle whom I thought was going to at least assist my mum financially only left me with an advice....."That your Father is dead, does not mean your Destiny or that of your siblings should die"..........I held onto those words and I kept repeating it in prayers desperately to God while I looked for job as a cleaner.

It's 10 years already, I am happy to inform you that, I am a graduate of UNILAG, my 1st sibling is Married, 1 is in the university, 1 is presently doing her own business, my last born is presently in SS2. A foundation is being put in place for the house I am building for my mum....All of this without getting or seeking help from anyone....

I am not where I dream to be, but I am definitely far away from where I use to be.

FIND GOD bro.

NB: If you don't mind a Marketing job(FCMG) you can send your CV to me.....mind you, it's a job you have to work dirty but I can assure you, you won't regret it.
