The story of an Okada Man -There Is Dignity In Labour by FunnyDude(m): 9:10am On Jan 24, 2020
I boarded a bike yesterday night, being a jovial person I was, I discussed with this young bike man in his mid 30's who opened up to me about his business.

He told me he had built a 3-bedroom apartment himself since 2016, and about completing the second one. He is training his younger ones in school. He is married with kids.

He told me why most people don't have anything to acheive after working for many years are fornication, liquor and poor financial management.

I was Awwww!

Imagine someone that doesn't pass through school getting stuff done. Our graduates are out there limiting their potential due to I'm a Bsc or Msc holder. Most are earning peanuts coupled with a poor account balances, but are moved with the euphoria of clean starchy clothes..lol

Please this is 2020, let be smart on how we view education qualification in this country.

If you're not getting the desired white collar job,it's time you drop that ego, and look for other blue collar jobs.


This is 2020, dear graduate.

Look at this one.. We're talking about reality here, you're saying something else. We all know Nigeria is not it at the moment hence survival of the fittest.

Keep speaking Queens English.Ok!

PS: I only wrote about what's happening to those we looked down upon as a nobody in the society.

This is 2020.
