We all know that being unemployed can be frustrating. But our parents' added frustration can be annoyingly frustrating.

A 25yr old guy is expected to have at least, started earning something and planning his future.
My parents are the churchy type. As narrowly minded as they are, everything that happens to them or someone they know would always have a spiritual undertone.
I'm not an atheist. I'm a realist and I've always tried to explain to them that they need to stop ascribing spirituality to everything.

Since passing out early last year, I can't explain all I've gone through in the hands of my parents; my mum, most especially. She believes that my unemployment is due to 'ogun idile' (generational curses). Being my mum, I've always listened to her whenever she tells me to do anything because of the kinda love I have for her. She asked me to fast and for over 8months, no week passes that I won't fast twice or three times in the week. She suggested going to mountains and i can boldly say without mincing words that even some mountains are fed up of my coming. Prayers too have been on a 'per second billing' and going to church everyday has become a norm all in a bid to satisfying her. Yet, nothing has happened.

I'm not saying prayers don't work, I believe they do work. But it's high time our parents start seeing things from a realist view and cease from their myopic way of visualizing things.

Frustration and depression are likely to pop up during this trying times. Don't feel discouraged or downbeat if you're still unemployed. Keep updating the CV and keep sending that mail. Don't stop making new contacts and don't look down on anyone. Never stop learning new skills. You never can tell where the breakthrough is coming from.
I'm sure we all will be here soon enough to share our testimonies.
