Abel Ifemi: From Hotel Waiter To Special Assistant To A Governor by PrettyCrystal: 2:01pm On Mar 18, 2018
A special assistant to the Governor of Bayelsa State on Social media has shared his inspiring story to discourage other job seekers from being idle and becoming a problem to the society. Abel Ifemi revealed how he hustled in a hotel after completion of his one year mandatory NYSC programme and was receiving N19,000 monthly to sustain himself.

The young man who urged people to start something first no matter how small it is - took to Facebook to share his story. Read below;

I have no work to do that is why I am committing crimes. That is the most moronic excuse any young Man can give.

After graduation in 2011 and successful completion of the NYSC in 2012,I returned back to my State with the hope of having a good Job,but as all expectations were shattered and cuts off,after trekking the whole state with my big Brown file.

My next point of action wasn't to commit crime by becoming a petty thief,but I kept hope alive and Started as a waiter in one of the hotels in town with 19k as my Monthly take home. 19k of a truth can't sustain me for the Month,but It was the best option I took than to remain idle at home.

The above picture was my first day in office at that time.

You certainly don't have any excuse to be idle and become a nuisance in the Society.

Try and get something doing and be hopeful to God!

Remember;For you to start small does not mean that you can't make it big!

We need to soak the country with job opportunities. The masses need jobs where they get adequate -not slave- salary. No hope, no money to get married and start family, no money to buy medicine when ill.

People should have conscience na.

I'm thinking his case is one of two things;
Either he is a cultist or he is gay.

He should tell us how he became the special assistant as it is not something that comes easy like that.

It is another Dry Season, a Season for construction works.

Thanks.

PS: This is a serious question.

I'm writing a business plan and I need to really figure this out.

I intend to distribute end of year bonuses but still a man must chop before end of the year grin . So I need to figure out a sustainable bottom line for a single person to be able to save maybe 35% of the monthly salary after expenses.

Please share any findings, thanks.

No hated in mind but that your office as special adviser on social media just shows the condition of Nigeria as a state on a downward spiral. Continued increment of recurrent expenditure as against capital expenditure

there are peculiarities to that situation. you cant average a bench mark without considering the peculiarities of a majority of your work force. note that location and local expenses play a factor Irrepective of the peculiarities mentioned. nevertheless 35percent savings by the worker with upfront deductions for an end of year bonus if I got you right, for a very low expense zone in Nigeria would amount to 65k. where we it's assumed that at least 45k can cater for a man, his wife and a child. thus saving roughly 35percent. note this didn't factor in possible deductions if I got you right to be paid at year end.
