Those of you saying leave home, where to? Your parents know how the labour market is right now and it's only psychotic parents that will expect their kids to leave home after NYSC. No wonder most youths end up doing fraudulent activities, squatting with people who don't want them and being treated like nonentities. Where you are going to live, ain't you going to contribute anything? So why not do same at home?

It is the responsibility of parents to care for their children, provide security for them. Nothing is ever too much for your kids, until a child find his way in life, a parent is responsible. Too bad African parents breed kids to care for them when they grow, irrespective of their financial capabilities.

What you need to do is to start acting like an adult living at home. Go and find some manual jobs, volunteer in churches, foundations anywhere they need help. Ask if your parents need help with anything, repair jobs, errands etc...

The menial jobs you do here and there will allow you have pocket money so not to depend on your parents for little things. As long as you have a roof and food, you can save money and re-strategize.

Just don't be lazy staying at home, simple!

You are a wise person
Don't mind all these people

tell me about it

OrestesDante:


If you're currently at home after nysc it because you never wanted to leave home in the first place

Continue staying at home.

Orphans are surviving. Keep shouting your mummy this your daddy that

Because am staying at home doesn't mean am depending on my parents for money.
I have other business am doing that is generating little income for me to sustain myself.
You don expect me to rent a face me I slap you just because I want to escape from my parents!
Who dey pursue me

THIS KIND POST EARLY MORNING, BECAUSE OF HOW TRUE HE DEY, JUST WEAK ME.
ABEG WHO FIT BUY ME SEWING MACHINE?

All of u saying go out n look for sumtin..to do..... mehn itz easier said dan done....u tink to leave ur abode without destination.......is easy........diz wicked World......wer. Men r beast in human form.........plz before u leave ur home have planz n little capital dat can substain issue like accommodation n feeding.....before u tink on building on ur desired passion or idea.... Else..... u.go suffer...suffer..suffer..As Fela sing

HenryDion:
Dear New graduate, don't ever go back to your father's house after service. What are you coming back to do? For them to continue feeding your ass? Nah! This is what happens when we devote all our time and energy in the library without an attempt to break the matrix. As an undergraduate, start preparing for the future. Start saving.. The world is not smiling, your parents are not even smiling.

If as an undergraduate and you still ask for haircut money, cream, blah blah blah.. you're hopeless. Start learning the act of independency.

Things will be easier when you become totally independent.

Good luck.

You took the words right outta my mouth!!!
But for emphasis you should have written in BLOCK LETTERS!!
1) AS AN UNDERGRADUATE START PREPARING TO LIVE INDEPENDENT
2)DONT GO BACK TO YA MAMA AND PAPA HOUSE TO EAT THEIR FOOD EXCEPT BY INVITATION
3)LOOK FOR A BABE FROM AS AN UNDERGRADUATE THAT WILL HELP ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS SO YOU WILL FROM THAT TIME HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
4)DONT LOOK BACK....MOOOOOVVVEEEE FORWARD!!!

hoover420:

Go and start your life under the bridge abi... No plans, nothing nothing... All because you don't want to stay at home

I don't think the guy meant staying under the bridge....You really don't have to do that....There will always be a way out....Staying at home and sitting with your parents shouldn't just be the only option...

MuyiRano:
i haven't go for my NYSC but I can relate wt the pressure already. May God help us to help ourselves

I am glad you haven't. I just want to believe this your English is typographical error.

Lemme say this, and pardon me that I may not agree with you on your first few points.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. As a human you know you're going to leave your parents some day, should u then wait til the day dawns on you?
Don't say its cos some parents chased their kids out that's the cause if their criminal minds and acts far from that...and I guess you know it. As a guy (especially) plan your exit right from your first days as undergrad...
Show them you can be responsible. Funny that an undergrad can toast a babe and behave in adult manner towards her yet still wanna be spoon fed because he's undergraduate!! Here's what I mean, if you can have a galfriend then you should also be responsible enough to earn a living!! There are exceptions though... Eg force majure!

MicTayor:
my girlfriend leave me cause she dey go NYSC...omo...i tell her say she never see anything

Bobo your case is different

mostyg:
The truth is most of us are lazy both mentally and physically.

You would be successful when you stop blaming others for your failure.
I know the government isn't doing enough. Please let's look beyond the government and put our own destiny into our hands.

Are you employable as a graduate? Did you pass WAEC and JAMB by yourself? What about your final year project, didn't you pay to get it done?

Equip yourself with necessary skills needed in the market and mdke yourself useful for yourself.

my dear nobody is lazy.. .....just that most ppl lack d ability to identify passion.

millionboi:
my dear nobody is lazy.. .....just that most ppl lack d ability to identify passion.

Isn't that mental laziness sir?

cumz:
Even before service... Immediately after final exams. I didn't return home

same thing I did, never wanted going home, but my mum being a widow kept disturbing me to come back so I can keep her company since my younger ones hardly chat and give her attention. But few months after being at home with her she started finding me to be a nuisance to her, cause she feeds me. Had to find something doing quickly and we became best of friends again. We should learn to start small. Most of our parents aren't looking that we feed them, but they don't just want us sitting idle watching TV and fiddling with our phones.

Tattooboy:
There are lot of things to do to make money these days even if its a little. No one should stay idle.

name them

mostyg:


Isn't that mental laziness sir?

u didn't specify

I concur with the OP.... you're absolutely right Bro.

with God on my side, nothing like going home after nysc. Thou my house is one of the best family ... not moved if you watch movie as early as 5am sef, but as a guy we must do everything to leave our individual comfort zone.

Noblepreneur:
I am glad you haven't. I just want to believe this your English is typographical error.

lol. yea, but the earlier u kno English isn't my mother tongue, the better.

Dont mind dos kids postin trash

Unemployment isn't new in Nigeria, three months, six months and even one year of being unemployed is not new. Your offence is waatching movie by that time of the day. I won't even take that. There are productive times of the day. If your mom had seen you reading , doing chores , or praying she won't react that way. If you must watch GOT, why not wait till they are out ? I only watch movies at night. As for those shouting leave the house ! Its not a sin staying with your parents. They'll understand you better than squatting with group of guys that might mislead you. All you need do is behave urself as an adult that you are and let them know you are trying hard to be independent. So many people left their homes cause they want to be independent only to return home after months. Maybe the landlord of the boysquarters where they were squatting evicted them. Be wise Bro. When you feel its time to leave, save up some money and rent ur own apartment you can afford so you don't go back to parents.

collitexnaira:
My fear is staying home after NYSC

B4 nko.. ...u want stay Bush?




Don't take everything u see here.

Most of d ppl shouting leave house and go nowhere are fruadsters

YoungRichRuler:


Abi na, even if you don't have a job yet, you don't have to show signs of irresponsibility by watching movies at 7am when you can get out and do something more productive. If it's on a Saturday morning, it may be excused

i tire4d guy.


Job or no job How will u b watching film by that time

dreamwords:
U can't be broke and be sleeping, it's a sin

Yes



That's what most ppl don't know.

Even if u are not working,make sure u are earning.


The most important thing is to earn.

I have not gone through the NYSC, still in the system and waiting for service very sooner than later but I have spent more than a year due to incessant strike from a school you could easily guess. staying at home eating mama thank you and the way they rub it your face sometimes is pathetic.

the op has a valid point. I think your independence from your parent will earn you the respect. and to those who still ask their parent for haircut are still living in mirage.

really scared of the hostile harsh post NYSC experience? be brave enough to face it when when the time comes without those parent I'm the picture. that's how boys become man.

Oga u are wrong.
The point is weda u are in ur parents huz or underbridge make sure you are earning.

hoover420:

Go and start your life under the bridge abi... No plans, nothing nothing... All because you don't want to stay at home

even if it is underneath the gutter just geraraa of ur parents house

alufahh1982:

Leaving your parents house because "I am now an adult" is a scam....don't do it!

it is inevitable
Advisably have a steady source of income
Before leaving or you'll have yourself to blame.

You all have said your piece. Reasonable. Only those who never plan what next after NYSC would find themselves staying at home with their parents waiting for that lucrative job that may not just come by like that. You must get something doing to assure your parents of your effort to secure a good job not sitting at home all day long.

Watch your budget. Don't spend more than your budget. Swallow your pride and try your hands on menial jobs if white collar job isn't forthcoming. I know this last one will not be easy seeing yourself falling back to business you once detested.
Sometimes you might even feel like asking yourself why you wasted your five years in school when those you regarded as high school dropouts were hustling and building business colonies.
