Mine was in 300level back in 2013. I needed some money to finance my upkeep in school among other things. So one bright Sunday like that I journeyed to a estate dressing up cute as a fine boy.
I kept knocking on different gates. From one house to the other asking if there is any if there was any laundry they would like to do. Mostly I was attended to by the security guard and turned back. But I got to a madam's house who was ready to listen to me.
She said it's not advisable for an undergraduate to engage in such. Then she told me to sit at the gate man's side. She came out some minutes later and drove me to her fish meal factory.
My brothers! My sisters! I saw muscular men, the size of Brocklesner and Tripple H sweating as they were lifting heavy bags of soya beans. You need to see my stature which is in absolute contrast to those men. Am super thin and tall.

That was when she asked me if I will be able to work under pressure. I was thinking she wanted to make me the store keeper or manager. Till she asked if I can lift bags with those men for 2000 per day.
The devil and hunger in me almost wanted to make me say yes...

I once got a job after NYSC in Ikeja with a selfish Lawyer's property firm in 2008 closely related to the family that owns Chrisland school.
I was placed on on a 30,000 monthly salary that was barely enough and the only old car was rarely fueled for me to go out that I would sometimes fuel from my pocket and when I sought refunds, I wouldn't be given.
To cut story short, I started using the car for job hunt till I got a job with a Bank in Victoria Island that paid up to 4 and later 8times what I earned.
I left the job for them even forfeited my final pay in lieu of notice

I applied for that job then, got invite so I ll have to shuttle from ikorodu to mushin , woke very early to beat traffic in Lagos.

On getting there, after unending wait, a man walked in started to tell us how salary job is spoiling Nigerian youth future, how the so called certificate is as useless asbeancake paper, how they v been changing the story of many Nigeria both young , old , literates and illiterates.



In short, after a very long sermon of over 3hours , we were able to decode they are one of these petti marketing company full Lagos .

We were told to pay 12k for registration after world most sweettonque I ever see, some actually stood up to pay which I believe they are the same, can anyone guess what they are selling



SWEET!

Yea sweet � like normal sweet , they actually have some working for them already based on commission, one mistakenly came into lecture hall , he looked like haaa gosh cry , someone called him back immediately and I never see him again till I left.


After no much response from 12k payment they went down to 6k grin



Haaaa many Nigerians are suffering on top job search i swear which am also one of them cry


I PRAY MAY GOD CHANGE MY STORY SOON.

It was during NYSC, while on camp I met with the ZGI through a gender equality awareness group I joined, she told me there's this NGO that needs a female Corper, that's how I entered it. The NGO building was an abandoned flat in a market place... I was like OK, let's see what happens. The owner goes, "em I don't have anyone working with me, so you'll be the one to open and close everyday, you clean the whole place, I'll get you acquainted with some of the paper works we do here, so you'll take over. I mustn't forget to mention that some churches will want us to come speak with them on Sundays, so be ready to work on Sundays too. you'll be paid 5,000 naira, shebi NYSC is going to pay you 19,800". I was shocked, I told her to reject me o, she refused because she has a relationship with the ZGI. Alot of drama happened sha, ZGI wanted me to stay also, I maintained my refusal, they saw me as a bad shild but what's my own? I know one day, something go push the woman send me enter market go buy maggi and salt for am.
I wished I can meet you in real life,you funny die

After my NYSC, I didnt want to stay at home so i got a job in a factory, there was no vacancy for B.Sc/ Eng so i accepted the SSCE/OND slot which is more or less a hard labour.
Pay was 15k/month but if you miss work a day
, they will minus 1k and if you come late, minus 2h. Work is Monday to saturday and it's 2wks day, 2wks night. Company pays half price your lunch (N50) and you pay half (N50), and monthly tax was 5h meaning your take home is roughly 13k.
There was this month I missed work for 8days starting from 1st and came late 2 times, after calculating what my pay will be if I work the remaining days , I just left and didn't return.

So I got this job of an Electrician in a furniture company at Bode-Thomas. Though the pay was meager but I decided to boost my knowledge since !y role goes in line with !y qualification.

I got paid on my first month of joining them, but subsequent months no pay, I would walk from Ijesha to office to and fro on daily basis.

The CEO would get supply of millions of naira, the next thing is to fly abroad with his wife to enjoy. His workers that brings the money are left to suffer, he doesn't care.

I decided to resign but the MD pleaded that he would speak with chairman, and he actually got him convinced and he increased my salary with more responsibility; that I would now supervise cleaners. One of the cleaners told me that he was also employed as furniture technician until he was asker to supervise cleaners now a full time cleaner.

Na so I resign fully; the small salary you can't pay how am I sure you will pay the new pay.


I got a teaching job in IKD, I worked for barely three months and a govt job offer came my way.

There was this very long ASUU strike. Decide to get a job seeing that it wasn't ending soon.

I saw a sign; FACTORY WORKERS NEEDED

Got there and discovered it was GNLD, after plenty talk, they came clean and told us it was actually a sales work and we'd become managers and manageresses (whatever that means) after only three weeks.

So, they offered a free training, and after plenty of motivational speeches, the trekking began.

We almost trekked the whole of Delta state and when we finished, the manager asked me how I enjoyed (God forbid bad thing) my sales experience.

Me: (already angry and with running nose from the trekking) It was great, I'll resume tomorrow

Oga manager called and called, I no just bother pick him call.
Hahahahahaha. Lol
