Where did you read in my post that I said their condition is okay. I only said don't generalise.

stanliwise:
Your children may someday experience this condition and that day we will see what will happen. Look at the topic of this threas very well and you will notice it is for those that knows nairaland and those that were maltreated.

FantasticJ:


I was an adhoc staff in 2007, 2011 and I also participated in several supplementary elections, this was how we slept outside. It's not new, so don't blame Buhari as if he's the architect of your generational problems.

Ehn ehn. Senior. Gbe body e

A country that has no regards for her citizens, no love at all! Imagine being in Jos or Kaduna now, wey cold dey.

We still have a looooooong way to go in dis land called nigeria.

mcdokwe:
I suffered similar fate in 2015

eyah.

I thought they said, they will provide accommodation for corps members?

Useless set of people where is there children inside ac sleeping at the end will give them peanut and come again and call them lazy youth their father

stanliwise:
Bro to what end is ur statement. Are you saying they shouldn't protest maltreatment because you also suffered the same fate?

when did I say dat. when I wrote my first comment it was around 1am the election hasn't been cancelled n it the topic was about corp members sleeping. usually they sleep @ d rac over night. Funny enough I commented just for humour only for the guy to attack me. the truth is that sleeping overnight @ d rac has been since 1999 even d inec officials too don't sleep cos of sorting of materials. as for the protest its a good thing if only INEC will have their time now. I wish them d best. n pray there's no foul play in d whole issue

okay, I would take your word for it but only some jokes could be expensive. I hope their stress is worth it.

But how about those that are the ones fending for themselves.

Escape from hunger is not about doing wrong things or wasting your precious time. I still maintain that the INEC's stuff is rubbbish and I wouldn't do it if I was a corp member. The chairman was in a hotel somewhere taking tea while you guys were sleeping in the open and having to contend with mosquitoes. In a sane clime, you guys were supposed to be lodge in a hotel and paid transport allowance, per diem and wages. The only problem of Nigerian graduates is mental laziness which subjects them to slavery. In simple terms, if you can't use your head, someone else would use it for peanut and ultimately enslave you. Think of something you can do to make money and be committed to it.

Even while serving, you can plan and start something then develop that little thing until it becomes big. It may take you a year, two or three before you start making big from it. But I tell you, if you don't give up, you'd make a kill from it. It's better you suffer for yourself instead of someone else: government and non-governmental organizations. Think of the little Igbo boys who serve their master for 7 years and at the end, they are settled to be on their own. With time, these guys even prove that it's better to go into business (or suffering) that going to school. However, with your education, you can handle things like a graduate and make things work out real fast.

I started from nowhere when I finished NYSC, but after 1 year and some months, I'm hanging between 150-200k NGN per month--personal hustle! And I'm still scaling. A year or two from now, I may hit a million naira per month--As God may have it. I had to move on from Nigeria labour market. I had to fight. I had to take my destiny into my hands. There's no better time than now my brother. Think of your future--it's crying for help; start something today and be committed to it, and depending on your hard work and sincerity, you'd see result. Forget about Nigeria government. They are good for nothing. There's nothing PMB or Atiku can do for common Nigerians. It's an unfortunate situation we face here in Nigeria as a people from humble background but we can still make a difference and rise to the top. The time to act is now. Start suffering for yourself. Start something.

Something just not right with Nigeria. What did I just see?

This country has been in decline for decades unabated. Who did we offend oh Lord? See people's children sleeping in filth.

Nothing is wrong with Nigeria.

4 years of Buhari and people are still rushing out in millions to shout "4+4, Sai Buhari and the Next Level". Who do you blame?

A loss for Buhari is good for democracy. It will empower Nigerians to vote out any mediocre in office just like they did to the grossly incompetent Jonathan.

buh honestly speaking then we expected it cos INEC are not bothered about the welfare of adhoc staffs. n they do the bulk of the work. it's like they are doing it purposely so that they will b discouraged n refuse to work so that the corpers can b replaced. that was what they did to us 2015 buh we said no matter what we must participate n no one will replace us. even those who their names didn't come out we told them to follow us so that any one that didn't come we made sure they were replaced by corp members we know. so I'll advised the corp members not to b deterred n still go next Friday n brace it no matter what @ the end inec won't have any excuse to fail.

I absolutely agree with you.

i wanted to join this whole exercise for the experience of it but i realized i was reducing the chances of those wanted to do it for the money. i had the money so i just decided to chill.
Then i heard my sister was undergoing this same INEC training, my dad called me and asked what i thought about it.
how much dem wn give the girl, my dad paid her 40k to sit at home and i paid her 25k for time wasted. Just look at the stress they put pple tru for 40k are be how much.

I appreciate the effort you took to write the above and I quite agree with everything you wrote above up there because I too am a hustler but bros let us discuss the truth, we can't hide under shadows forever.

I tell you the truth, all this "personal stuggle and forget the government movement" will head us no-where. Remember some businesses will have flourished today if only there were good roads, water and basic amenities.

who would build our roads, who would build the power station, who would build the health care, who will create good conditions for foreign investors, who will construct the infrastructures and who will provide security, who will educate people from extremely poor background?
With your dogged struggle you may be comfortable and living well but how about your neighbors? how about those who are not as strong as you do, how about those in very difficult conditions to the extent they could not get basic education.

Remember we have the old and the physically disabled. we have the orphans and mentally and naturally disable people. Are you also saying they should hustle in this harsh conditions too?

WHO WHO WHO will hustle for this people ?

personal struggles are fitting for everyone but only with the right conditions. you may be ignorant of the fact that you would have been more made if only you were in another country and put this much effort.

As much as I agree with you on personal hustle which I am currently doing still I find every opportunity to ensure better government through protest, political awareness and participation, fight against corruption, participate in voting and do some activist thing in my own way.

we need a working government because without it nothing will matter it is only a matter of time.

I understand you completely and I want to say that if God has impressed in your heart to champion a course to liberate humanity, great. Go ahead. However, you don't fight with nothing in your hands. A hundred poor men can't challenge one rich man. So instead of these poor guys to insist challenging the rich guy, it's better they pull resources and push one of them to succeed then they can support that one person to challenge the rich guy. I share in the pains the poorest of Nigerians go through; I share in the pains of Nigerian youths from humble backgrounds. I share in the pains of all who struggle to make ends meet in a country blessed with abundant of resources.

The fact is that at this point of my or your life, we can't cause any meaningful change in today's Nigeria because we don't have the money and the required connections to fight the wrongs plaguing Nigeria. What I feel we can do is to help ourselves to come out of lack and if our zeal to liberate the less privileged was true in us then we will return back to our calling and take up the course. By then the work would be easy and worth doing; but now, you can easily be kicked into the gutter in your attempt take up this fight. Again, Nigeria's myriad of problems can't be solve by open confrontation but with wisdom and strategies. When bad people rules, the people suffer, but you can't tell a bad man that he is bad else he may destroy you especially when you don't have what it takes to challenge him.

It's sad that we don't have good people in the Nigeria's political space at this moment and you can't challenge them to do what's right. But I think we can build up and crawl into the scene and when we get there, we show them how it should be; how things are done. Many times I see people who claim to champion a course for the common man but when they get to the other side when they are supposed to bring the real change, they forget about the people whose back they rode to get there. I'm particularly not happy with the way things are going in Nigeria and that's why I'm working hard to push myself into the scene and do things the way I think it's right. I have plans for the weak and the less privileged and even now, I try to help--tangibly and otherwise. However, like I said earlier, it's hard for one who's struggling to help the other fellow who's also struggling or in a far worse situation.

For Nigeria, I'm not completely giving up on her but for now, I've chosen to hibernate the idea of doing much with her. I still believe that one day, I'd come on board as that man for the people in it's full glory. We've been in pains for so long in this country even with abundant of resources that we are blessed with. I commend your effort to fight for the common man and feeling the pains of the weak. The future is bright. We will get there.

Bro I feel the same pain o, I am glad that someone is thinking properly too especially when you said you see personal hustle as a means of sustenance to the ultimate liberation to a free and working Nigeria. If every youth could think like this that is hustle and fight for a better Nigeria we could be be better tomorrow.

Like you said hustle stand as means of sustenance to the current condition of youth ready to fight the current government and also you said fighting government outrightly is not a the way as they're very powerful and quite dominant but rather using intelligent and strategic means.
This are very wise words and I can say I have learnt something priceless today because I have faced this struggles in reality and to be sincere my personal hustle has helped me to stay away from different form of bribe which I stayed away from, if not for my hustle I don't know if I can do that o, also I agree that strategy and intelligent witj minimal physical confrontation is the best o, people are really violent o. I hope our youth would see things from this angle.

Apart from the above, I know some people who are well to do but still indulge in corrupt practices which I suppose that GREED is also a major factor too, infact the most important.
I am web designer and work as a contract staff for an IT company currently, coupled with my teaching Job. Although I will do my NYSC next year.

God help us

There's poverty in the land too much this nepotism must go

It was a narrow escape for me oo! I went home to freshen up & couldn't get back to the INEC, so I escaped it. I couldn't recognize my friend when she came back the next morning, she was a complete picture of a confused masquerade

I suffered similar fate in 2015

I had the same experience in the last gubernatorial election in Osun state last year and that was why I didn't register as an adhoc for this year's election.
