i guess you can afford a android phone or a camcorder....
Why not move out everyday, source for news and be a freelance reporter.
i mean get news about crimes and major news happening around you, take snapshots, video them and sell to a TV house.

or
ditch your certificates and do dirty biz like buying scraps or collecting scraps/metals and sell to the major dealer?

Be warned how u seek help online. We have more of scammers than good Samaritans. Meanwhile I advice u give it more time. Tough time never last but tough people always do. If u quit no one remembers u for anything worthwhile but for foolishness. Sometimes we need people to console and encourage us but at that time we have more people to screw us up. You need to get hold of urself and prove to those who think u are a failure that u can do it. The only way to do that is not by committing suicide but by not giving up on urself. My guy all u need is to start something small while looking up for a bigger one. You can start as low as a teaching job,it will help u out of mental depression. Dream of a very big job but never undermine d power of a small beginning. Finally never look down on urself......u are exactly who u think u are. People like u always end up becoming great in life. All d best man!

Hello bro, just chill you will be fine soon.

But from what I can advice at the moment, you need the right information and guidance.

Most importantly you need a mentor.

Keep Hopes Alive!

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

You really dont deserve a job if u can run into conclusions like the way u just did


I paused at that part too. Such thinking will not move you forward. It's like saying I did not pass because my teacher does not like me.

Look internally and assess what you are doing wrong and where you need improvement. Attitude matters a lot, it is not just about gathering certificates.

Having heard your story and also experienced it but succeeded in the end. My little advice to you and others out there is to learn a skill, the real world in the labour market is gradually tilting towards skilled labour than paper qualification and it's an added bonus for graduates/job seekers. Instead of spending money acquiring paper qualification e.g NEBOSH & co. put that money into good use in acquiring a skill/trade. e.g welding & fabrication, Furniture making, Aluminium, draughtsman hope i got that spelling right, it's not a must u should be employed so take out time to think re-plan, my humble opinion..

[b] grin Let me be frank with you too.... wink

I agree with you that the "elastic band of resilience" differs from each individual, but would you describe someone who hangs himself after failing first homework as strong? There must be a minimum standard (very subjective, i know).

BUT you conveniently didn't see where is OWN FATHER assessed him the same way i did. Maybe the father is wrong / right, but i can bet you that the Father knows him FAR BETTER than you and i do.

He should look inwards and that was my point. I was unemployed for 7 good years...at a point i dated a devilish girl for 4 good years (believe me we fought on every single sentence grin). But all these negative experiences made me stronger.

Telling his mother to sell her bike for an avenue that wasn't guaranteed was very self-centred. His dad has probably observed acts like this.

Carrot & stick...this boy needs stick for now cool

PS- i am not the only person who has observed that he doesn't want to start "small" or do an "undignifying job"[/b]
I never wanted to go deeper buh lemme scratch d surface a little bit....
.
I as well spent 7 years without a "good" job.....Literally I was depression personified. I lost my mum just a month to resuming Nysc camp, that was where my sorrowful journey started...Started as a contract staff with a Nigerian bank buh menh...dat was hell on earth.....after 2years plus I resigned and went back to my father's house (one of my worse fear)....3months after my resignation I was home and dry financially. I literally lived in penury, I started drinking, smoking to calm my nerves. At a point I follow some frnds to a club where I got drunk and carried an olosho home ( that was the first time I ever did that)...I woke up in the morning to discover the lady carted away wit my only gadgets...the worst was she got me infected wit an std. The beginning of another battle.....although I got it treated after a serious battle. bros I can go on and on...
.
Perhaps I forgot to tell you, I had transverse the length and breath of naija huzzling..which was futile, although contrary to the OP, my retire old Dad was very supportive...My mom would be proud of him for that singular reason wherever she is.
.
Disclaimer....for the APROKOS, I went for HIV and Hepatitis test severally after the olosho incident...ofcourse it was negative.
.
So please...give some experiences and kind words whenever you see someone on the verge of breakup...As a human, perhaps he has reach his elastic limit.

Sorry about your mum. May she RIP. MOTHERS are the best in the world...

Now, back to the story. Let me try to summarize:

1. Seeking solace to life problems through sex & drugs is a SIGN OF WEAKNESS. In my times of trouble, women were an outlet. Thank God i didn't catch something cheesy. I knew deep down me that drugs would ruin my life, so i never indulged. Only the strongest humans ever rehabilitate successfully, so DON'T even start.

2. I had pals who had the same level of difficulties, some even less that capitulated eventually. I am not saying i am Schwarznegger, but i just found a way. I was too proud to beg / ass-lick and thank God, He eventually came through for me.

3. My analysis of YOU, Gwan2, is this - You are also weak - QUIT your job, found solace in women (like i did).... Carrot approach works for a while, stick is often more effective. grin. The OP seems spoilt by his mum (the carrot)...it is the dad delivering the STICK grin

Joshua, you don't need any of the gods worshiped by humans. Look within you, there lies the solution. Having a 2:1 in Chemical Engineering is great. Did you finish with a CGPA above 4.0? I might pay for your GRE and TOEFL if you wanna move to the US for a ChemEng graduate degree.

Nigeria is f.ucked up! There's literally no hope for that country! I was in your situation, though I didn't wait too long after NYSC before I left that shithole called Nigeria. No God is interested in Nigeria and most African countries...the Gods are more interested in China, US, Japan, UK, Canada, Korea, and Most European countries. These are countries where Science, Reason, and Logic rule over superstitious nonsense called religion.

Let me know if you're interested tho.

Bros if you kill yourself. Good way to get to heaven on time. I have been through the worst than yours. Am a graduate of Accounting.after searching for jobs and it wasn't coming fourth. I started teaching myself something's on a borrowed old Dell latititude D600 as I can't afford to buy one cos became almost like a pauper after years of searching for job. I taught myself something far away from my school course. Today I, am a song artist, writer, graphic designer, web developer, cartoon animator, video editor. It got to a time that by simply applying my brain to this things I learned myself I was earning 240k per week. Am still waxing strong now. The lessons I learned is that if you can't afford to buy or pay for something, you better make one of those things yourself. Kill yourself then you kill your dream. It's better you keep your heads up and learn from the masters. Follow me on facebook @metalsunny catch ya'all later

Chemical engineering isnt really that lucrative in nigeria (it is like studying petroleum engineering ), the are very few places that ur skills will be needed... And those places are the man no man places of this country.

Dont think about sucide.
Just be hopefull atleast it is free.

Plus i think u should look for work outside ur field so u can go out everyday , u dont just know who u mite meet

Don't give up sir.. ..when it seems like nothing is working just know your evidence is close, After all you've been through don't give up, don't let discouragement take the better part of you, ...i pray that you will experience a miracle that would make you know that all your efforts wasn't in vain!

Challenges will surely come... But only the hopeful that will make it to the end!


To start with, you have a priceless skill.... WRITING

Not everyone will be patient enough to read a long article but I did that effortlessly and connected with your journey...

Consider polishing your writing skills

I for one is a petroleum engineer turned writer and so far... It has paid my bills.

Some of you may not like online businesses but that also has paid my bills..

I've made millions doing online businesses...

You can contact me on whatsapp on 0.9.0.9.3.3.5.2.0.0.3

Again... Work on monetizing your skills... Not your certificate.

That's the only way to overcome the challenges of not having a good job.

Yours Sincerely

I will like to connect with you on the writing skill too sir, do you mind if I reach you on that number? thanks.

But if I had told you to pay me to help you review and rewrite and also write you a cover letter, you will tag me a scammer...

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

Have you tried learning chemical engineering softwares, like matlab, advanced excel, aspen hysys? Most chemical engineering companies use them to carry out their processes.

abeg get out jor. shebi u didn't read what he wrote how he paid people to review and rewrite his cv and cover letter? so his crime now is because it wasn't u that he paid? nigerians will always promote their selfish interests over another's well being.
