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.

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?

Maybe you are just as lazy as your dad and other relatives are calling you.

Benekruku:




Who re you quoting kid? Definitely sure u made a mistake.

obataokenwa:
You're full of negativity in all your write ups here. Your problem is you want it big and if not big job, nothing else goes. Bro, keep certificate aside and be humble with little jobs to keep u busy. We all did bricklayer work after school when job was not forthcoming and we never for one day thought of suicide. With all the professional courses u have with u, your problem now is ego and pride to stoop low and look for daily pay while waiting for the major one. Two of my friends working in oil company as big boys today were all sent SMS to resume work from the site we were mixing cement as labourers. They had more professional certificate than u and are even married with kids but for one day we are full of joy and happiness. maybe your Dad call u lazy cos u can't do anything to feed or transport sef. Wake up and drive keke if possible. You need to see how we drag cement with and concrete during babo work. Humble your self and pretend like u never went to school and keep applying secretly. Humility is what u lack from my observation

adebayooye:
You are not in this alone bro... Suicide is not the best option... atleast pity your mom.... Find something to do no matter how menial to keep body and soul together and continue to hunt for the job...for instance i sell Zobo... Yes Zobo!! in my area and I have a masters degree with a Phd grade...i can't kill myself because have not gotten a job yet... Do anything you can find your hand doing that is legal for the meantime and be hopeful.... What is yours will never pass you by....

Hassy4:
My dear, u need 2 hear my own story too. I think mine is even worst than Urz, I used to be called an engine boy, dt booking has turned me to be a tomboy lol. What differs mine 4rm Urz is I hav my parents and a special one consoling me always. Things are still hard for them Dou. Will I kill myself? No. Am a lady, hussle for job continua.... 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

Qriousity:
lets ask who the kid is. I'm certain you are just searching for someone to pour out your depressed soul on.

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

[/b] sometimes we sound like its easy, do you know this guy to assume he is lazy? didnt you read of his certifications? dont forget we are not all wired the same way? maybe he is better off employed than a hustler but that dont mean his lazy.

you cant see someone clearly sounding suicidal and this is you advice to him... Not fair bro... not fair

obonujoker:

Go play with lego kid! I cant stoop low

megadonjay:
You are not alone.

Here is my own story.

I thought there was hope in sight when I applied for a grant via twitter. I was not chosen, but someone asked me if I have a business plan. I replied him and later checked his profile to see he works for a senator as an aide.
He dropped an email where I would send the business proposal. I did and crossed my fingers waiting patiently the day I would check my email to see good news.
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. Nothing positive entered my email. I decided to contact him privately on facebook, I told him if he can help me out with any token at least to start something.
He asked me about my location and I did give him an answer. That was the end of his replies.
Is my location the reason why he suddenly no longer replies?
I have decided to leave my fate to God. Heaven knows I have tried.

Qriousity:
*laughs* for your mind. Anyways, it'll be immature of me to continue with this.

secretsuccess:

i really hope that one day i will be able to say "but now look at me" the only thing is that my father and his Cohorts are bent on seeing me break.. i try to cry out pains sometimes... but it does not work out always.. people say am too honest, gentle and kind.. but sometimes i ask is it now a problem.. maybe it is a problem who know?
.. 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
