I once worked as I security guard in one of those oil companies in port harcourt. The salary was manageable (70k) 15 days on 15 days off. till I stopped that work nobody ever looked down on me because I never gave them the opportunity. My dressing, character, communication and attitude towards the job and people around me is always top notch.

You can not be begging people for money and expect them to respect you. The way to dress and your level of confidence matters a lot.

Absolutely! your etiquete and class matters alot in a security job, if you go about carrying hand bags, holding umbrellas or opening door, running unnercerssary errand for your employers then you have just turned yourself to a pleb.

The OP is right.....



I did a security job ones and you are not just seen as a beggar.... But people will believe that you graduated with a pass or third class to have ended with this kind of job...


If you speak good English, they will say you do ITK and that's why you can't make the most out of yourself...


The job in it's self is very risky.... You are the first suspect and and you dare not trust your best colleagues.... You can buy a car for someone from your paltry salary if at stolen car is recorded on your shift....


Having a woman during this period was difficult... even the fruit sellers and hawkers will not accept you... let alone marketers....


But Sha... OP, you have to man up and keep the hustle real....

Why did you say let alone marketers?

If You've Done This Job Before, Pls Tell Me Your Experience Too

This my thread is just mainly for single men and guys outside there and I would like to share my experience with you guys on what I have undergone and experienced as a Security guard.

To be a security guard is not a job I can advise my enemy to opt for let alone my friend or relation. The job is a regardless one and very disgusting.

As a security guard, you are more or less a beggar in the street, should I say beggar has a little regard more than you.

When people see you, they see nothing in you. Most especially when you're trying to speak to them in English making them to know that you're educated...(laugh..) You just did it wrong, to them it means you are having mental problem.

The image impression of 98% of people on guys who do this job to hustle for their lives rather than involving in criminal practices is that they have no future; is that they cannot make it in their lives; e.t.c.

Since I've started this job when I finished my program in the polytechnic, any lady I made to know about the job I do turns me off later, some said it's a beggars' work.

And currently, I hardly have female friends not to talk of girlfriends or marriage.

Though, I didn't mean to start this job before if not condition, but now I'm planning to quit the job and find another.

Sometimes, I cried in my room, begging God to show me another way.

One of the workers in the place of work that I'm guiding once told me that his dog is better off than me. This is even the person that cannot even compose simple correct English, he said his dog is better than me.

Your experience too is allowed... Thank you.

You should be unperturbed when people speak ill of your job, you don't want to do it for the rest of your life right?
be focused and strive harder....
i once worked with santana security agency as a supol and Chakel security as a guard, one man told me he's greater than my generation, to be frank i flared up but later i calmed down his insult and many others boosted my morale to strive harder to get where i am today.

But but but one of my friend is a security and earns 85,000 monthly, how bout that?

Asour:
I get your points clearly but it's either those who say they know MS Excel very well don't know it Or you haven't defined what is to be known in 2 - 4 Weeks.

No one can sufficiently know Excel to an advanced level in 4 Weeks. Perhaps most don't even know what it means to know Excel.
Python's great . it also has a plethora of Data Analytics applications. But it seems that people who study python tend to denigrate tools like Excel impliedly.
This is funny. Technically (For Data Analytics) there's Nothing that can be done with python that Cannot be Excel.
And I say technically because I assume we set aside such factors as speed and convenience aside. and just focus on results.

We are in the same boat, the Excel I referred to is just the simple basic stuff like sum, average etc, advanced excel would take way longer to master. On your resume, if you put Excel, the employer may think that you are referring to simple stuff, Python data science knowledge stands you out of the crowd. I have an 8hr Microsoft Excel tutorial and I can tell you that it's very similar to python for Data science in numerous ways.

I understand your pains, God will surely make a way for you. Pls try and further your education.

Kobicove:
The reason why people treat security guards with disdain in Nigeria is cos they know they're poorly paid.

If we truly implement minimum pay and make it and offence to underpay security guards and domestic staff such as cooks and maids Nigerians will be forced to give them more regards!

Teachers nko? Don't leave teachers out o

But your narrative is littered with grammertical errors. YOU DO NOT GUIDE A STORE RATHER YOU GUARD A STORE.

try being jobless, then you'll thank God for what you've got.

I once worked as a phone repair guy.in mararaba.i used the money I got from just phone flashing to start up fairly used phone business.op pls relocate to a town were the have a good population.as at 2015 I did make 120k per month just flashing android phones and buying and Selling phones . Remember sas might pick you up if you buy a stolen phone.ask of heart plaza mararaba.if na woman matter, mararaba has so many cheap girls.

Brother, please don’t mind what people will talk rather set your goals and work smart to achieve them. After my service programme in Lagos, no job, no accommodation nothing on me. My aunty that I was staying with told me that the husband said I should leave their house after my youth service. I thank God for not allowing went back to the east. One of my friend drives container truck, so I became his conductor and I did the work for 8months and got my first job. Currently working with a multinational company and am doing so great. There is always a starting point in every man’s life....

Develop yourself bro, pick up/ learn new skills

pocohantas:
Lol. You know how many times my boss done ask me how I take graduate with my class of degree?

I will just be laughing. I don’t know why I find it very funny. Maybe it is the way he says it. Lmao!

Lol it’s better to be light hearted about these things but some are really just painful.

I get your point profambem. Python is the easiest programming language but not a walk in the park. Basic python yes but when you go documentation of the various tools and libraries(numpy,sklearn, pandas,then move to machine learning).you would agree that It takes constant practice and continuous development to be proficient and able to solve use cases.

ProfAmaben:
What and what do you need to learn in pandas that you can analyse data in 2-4 weeks?

Import pandas as pd
Import matplotlib as plt
Import bokeh as bk


df = pd.read_csv("education.csv" )
df

Then you advance further by learning python data structures and loops if need be.
Know your list slicing etc, people don't just wanna stress themselves, I challenge anyone to give it 2-4 weeks and not come out above average

EdidemLord:
Am someone currently working as a security man and I must confess it's not easy each day.The stigmatisation alone can make you loose your sanity.

But what do you do, Quit? definitely no expecially when you don't have any other mean of livelihood and got mouths to feed too.

Lost my dad when I was 9,struggled to finish secondary school but none to push me thru higher institution, I had to do so many menial jobs to survive.

At a point I decided to join the army cos I had a pastor who was a soldier and loved his Charisma.He advised me to do a professional course at UNiILAG in affiliation with Nigeria Institute of Security ( security operations and management) which according to him would give me an edge over other cadets..After 2 years I was certified....

2012 I bought the Army form and when it was time for my family to endorse they decline expecially my old and sick mom.As her only son she would rather not have me join the army.Remeber 2012 and boko Haram that year.

Instead of staying home doing nothing I decided to job hunt with the certificate.So I first join HALOGEN.After their training I was deployed to a location I was paid peanuts.After working with them for 3years quit and got another offer 2017(still a security Job) that am still managing till now...

It's not not easy as man's not getting younger and man's got 2 mouths to feed now...


So when people Stigmatise,ridicule and lampoon cos am a security man I just ignore them cos they don't know my story...


Do what you do.So long it's legal and aspire to get to where you wanna be.

Bro go join army, navy, airforce or civil defence...

security job sabi tie people down for years

all my fellow security guys way i leave resign still dey do security till now, the job no get future.

howmarket2:
lol my advice is if you cant do a gatemans job.forget an online or I T skill.cos it ll frustrate you more.iv been indoors, I mean iv not opened the door of my selfcon for 3days. just because am learning an I T skill.iv done ccna also.now am in website design.am into amazon ebook sales also.so forget it.

It won't be an easy journey but the reward is worth it. And not all IT is equal, IT is very broad - it's about knowing what is hot and aligning with that.

digitalgeorgy:
my first comment this year.
My guy, any legal thing you do that makes money for you should not be disregarded.
The only thing you need do is to look for a way to improve or move ahead.
I have a betshop but currently I am so ashamed to tell people that's the kind of business I do, the truth is, I can't quit now because it puts food on my table.
so hold on, the best you are looking for might be destined to meet you where you are.

Well u have a good business if don't know. Such business always booming. especially in a time like this.

jackpot:
you are being used and underpaid.

Do I have a choice. I accepted the only option hoping I would be upgraded after two years. Bt till now I'm still on the same level.

GeneralPula:
I just laugh when people compare that huzzle with It and tech nonsense..

I wish I had learn that yahoo back then, honestly.

Good luck to you. Those making it legit are doing so. It's about knowing the right niche to position yourself. IT os not the same across board.

You should try driving keke(tricicle)

bro, listen to my advise, you have potentials in your. just sit back and reflect on your past, fine out how u got it wrong, or were u got it wrong,this is rilli nt ur calling. try to draw closer to God, he will direct u

ezegenigbonine:
Lols after obtaining HND electrical engineering in IMT, and BSC survey and geoinformatics, I started searching immediately after NYSC, guys it was not funny at all, as I receive pressure everywhere to find something doing expecially from my mother even to the extent of her calling me a lazy man, comparing me with my younger brother. I decided to do anything so far I leave house for her. That's when I joined security job. It was not funny atall, wearing the uniform seeing people that looks up to you, seeing your classmates, your friends but as of then I have no option. Just have to drop my certy inside box and face the reality of life. One day a corpers shouted on me calling me an illiterate lols, mind you I have served 5years before him. People underrated us, talking to us like slaves and so on. Thank God today am working with in one of the biggest company in Nigeria as an engineer. Am married, have cars and building. I thank God for everything.

Sometimes I Wonder how you guys graduate from University but can form simple sentences ?....there is big difference between I am and am.

People just laugh off microsoft excel probably because it's more of drag and drop than python. It's still a very powerful tool[quote author=Asour post=89756164

You can. be a security .man and still command respect.It depends on how you carry yourself. I worked as a security man when I was just 21, my own challenge was my small stature but I carried myself with confidence, I had a good relationship with my coworkers and I was getting extra money aside my salary, I was looking fresh. There was a day a customer saw me and said " u fine like this and u dey do security". I left the job when I gained admission
So Bros, slim fit ur uniform freshen up.Be confident , see your self as a millitary man when you are in uniform. approach any lady u like if they talk trash blast them.
I'm a graduate and if I see a security job that pays well I will do. It is even better than these teaching jobs that pay peanut

I did

See this one you are too funny,I did this type of work some years back,i was deployed to one of this top government officials in my state,i quits when my boss told me I can't watch TV as a security man and seizes my 14" inches sharp box TV back then because i stayed at the BQ in the same compound with him and family.To my greatest surprised the day i quitted the job was the day i secured another job as purchasing manager in a pronounced organization in my state.
Guy don't ever be afraid of change or failure,quit and find better job or learn apprentice.i wish you best of luck.remember no time.

May God grant you the job of your desire.

I think security guys are also not helping this impression. Most of them beg people for money and it makes people look down on them or avoid moves to establish familiarity with them because they know it will end in "find something for teh boys".

Lies upon lies. Security Guards jobs are not the way you envisage about it. There's a department in some universities now that study criminology and security services. It's a degree programme now. Nigerians don't respect security Jobs. Go to USA or London. Security Guards are paid higher. I'm a graduate and I've done security jobs. It has been sustaining me since I graduated. Don't let whatever anyone said to deter you. Once you get the money you want. Cash out. ASAP
