Jmichael1: Advice without sponsor or financial help is a useless advice.... Keep ur advice to yourself
Keep waiting for sponsors. You will wait forever. Enter town make you go dey ask financially buyount people who sponsored them. You never ready yet. Generation of social media.
Lastly, the post is not for you. It is for the sensible and ambitious ones.
Jmichael1: No one is praying to remain in same spot for ever,jst dat life happens in a way we can't explain or bliv it ....
So life dictates to you where you will be, and you consciously decide to remain there? Okay ooo. Don't make efforts. Just remain where life has placed you. You will learn.
Eniolohunda: Survival job is what you survive upon, meaning it's at least fulfilling purpose while doing it. You want people to quit what they have at hand and start hoping on what they haven't gotten. Even the adage say "a bird at hand is what more than the 200 in the bush". Logic is you searching for another while you hold onto the one at hand and let go when you find a better one, not living to find what is not certain abi what do I know self🤔
I can clearly see that you have comprehension problem like many Nigerians. You read but don't comprehend. If you actually read the post thoroughly, you would have figured out that the post did not advise anyone to abandon their job. Upgrade your way of thinking.
Saidfx: The same survival jobs that people go to the mountain and pray at midnight to do in the west. You need to thank your Creator that you are opportuned to chase or achieve your dream job. This write up is biased and it'll generate lots of backlash and shioor. Trust seun and his crew to enjoy this one as usual. Op, take a sip of your favorite tea ✌🏿
The post is not for everyone. There is a notice to that effect. Read it again. So whoever wants to argue, will argue with himself/herself.
Survival jobs are jobs you do for the main time just to get by.
I've seen graduates work a construction site and do other manial jobs. It's not a bad thing. I know people who used it as stepping stone to achieve great things that are commendable
But life throws different things at different people and it's easy to get lost and stuck doing manial jobs.
I've also seen people doing jobs they ought not to for decades not because they didnt have a plan but because life happened to them.
So is survival job good or necessary... yes it is - just pray life doesn't happen to you.

There is an IMPORTANT NOTICE before the post. It is not for everyone. It is not a motivational post either.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please before you digest this post, take note that it has been written for people who are ambitious and want to grow. The post is NOT for people who are comfortable with whatever spot life places them.
First, what are survival jobs? Survival jobs are jobs you do temporarily to make ends meet for a particular time or period. They are meant to be a means to an end and not the end itself. This implies that you do not do it because it is fun or important on its own. You do it only to get what you want at the end. The end here could be to save up money for tuition, for a project, to acquire a skill ot training, or to weather the storm.
I have seen a lot of people spend countless years on a survival job. No promotion, no advancement, no increase, no future prospect, just nothing! Everyday turns to every year, and it becomes decades with nothing to show for it. The basic truth is that survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. I repeat, survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. They are jobs you do temporarily while working on some other things that can improve your life.
It is pertinent to note that survival jobs are not bad, because they could serve as starting points and also means to an end. Staying on them for long is the negative aspect here.
When you are on a survival job, do it with one leg and one eye. The other leg and other eye should be exploring other opportunities. You should know what that means. Use your tongue to count your teeth. Na only Nollywood movies poor gate man go see missing money, then the rich man go give am 50 million Naira as appreciation. Use your brain.
With all sincerity, do not stay on a survival job for more than two years. I have seen people work for 15 to 20 years, still living in same environment, and still can't afford basic things nor live a decent life. And one terrible thing about survival jobs is that you could get so familiar with them to the extent where you cannot venture into something else again.
May the efforts of every ambitious person out there be rewarded bountifully. Happy Weekend to you!
MasterTeeUSA: This is terrible and the woman should be locked up. We need to start a discussion about people giving birth to children they cannot take care of. Where are the parents? Why would a 13yr work as a maid when she is not legally allowed to work in the first place? Who is collecting her salaries? If the parents are complicit, they should be locked up as well. We need to discuss this child bearing and child abuse issues. The Boko Haram of these worlds were probably not raised well or neglected. We need to address irresponsible parenting.
Boyooosa: Yeah, you are right to a great extent, mw, because it's a law does not make it perfect, we've seen so many institutions who allow their graduates to enjoy that moment and they are still successful in life...restraining humans from expressing their joy in such moments is evil as far as I'm concerned, what I will never against is moderation and they can only improvise to regulate instead of choosing to be unnecessarily wicked
University laws are university laws. If things go south in those parties, whose name would be attach to the news? It is the name of the school of course. If something fatal happens in such events, people like you would still come online to drag the university and call for the arrest of the management for allowing such events to take place. I know Nigerians too well. They change like chameleons at the slightest given opportunity.
This woman brutalized this 13 year-old girl that served as a maid to her in Egbeada in Imo State. She disfigured her face and locked her up inside a dirty storehouse till a resident who witnessed the terrible act contacted Mr Okeoma on TikTok. Mr Okeoma invited the police to get the woman arrested and rescued the young girl.
Why would people who cannot even live comfortably well take in other people's children as maids? Why would you give birth to children you cannot take care of and give them out as maids?
I think POF (Proof of Funds) should be required for child birth in Nigeria.
Fiscus105: You are inside your, one room face me and face you, doing gragra on internet, why the students will be the one to face panel.
Obeying simple instructions are the reason why some society thriving and why some society scattered.
Just like hijab dressing brouhaha, students or parents shouldn't be the ones, to dictate to institution, but institution dictating, code of conductors to students.
If cultists or rapists targeted any of this student now, you would also be the first to come here to attack and rant.
Leave them. They always think everything is gra gra. If things go south, they will be the first to come online and begin to criticise the school.
manuelkel: It's the school's law, you break it then face the consequences.
Students have been crying 😭😭😭😭 on their page. Many of them are saying the institution does not have the right to prevent students from graduation parties that were not organised inside the university campus.
Modified: For me, I believe students are ambassadors of an institution. If a school outlaws an event both within and outside the university, and you are not comfortable with it as a student, you should withdraw and go to another university to study. You cannot dictate which law a school should apply or not because you were given a handbook before you accepted the offer of admission.
That the students did not organise the events on campus is irrelevant. The law only becomes invalid if you weren't admitted to the school. It is like travelling to Pakistan to commit a crime and saying that the Pakistani laws cannot punish you because you are a Nigerian and not a Pakistani.
IkeAnumudu: Very typical. You people will rationalise rationalise it to any extent.
But if the tables are turned and the name of the sschool sounds like a Yoruba name, maybe Ogun Stste University, you nnas will destroy that school with evil comments.
In fact your mesuya from Agulu will be the first to release ‘I am very saddened to hear of this thing from Ogun state university’ message.
But now, as no be for Yorubaland e happen, all is good and peaceful.
We all know what we are doing in this country
Some other people disagreed with me on this, but they did that in an intelligent way. It clearly shows how learned they are. For you to add tribal and political colourations to this shows how empty you are. People with your mentality are not fit to exist in a modern society. To people like you, every legal issue must carry a tribal and political undertone. Tufiakwa!
The management of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Anambra State has decided to bring down the hammer on final year students of the university who defied the university's policies on graduation party celebrations.
The university has sounded it several times that students should desist from the act of organising graduation parties, as such parties could easily serve as tools in the hands of some mischievous elements to perpetuate evils such as pouring engine oil and urine on fellow students. Some cult groups also use them to target their perceived enemies.
See the astonishing difference in age and appearance between FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and Nollywood veteran actor, Emeka Ike. One looks like the father of the other, but the one who looks like the son is older than the one who looks like the father.
Nyesom Wike is 58 years old (December 13, 1967) while Emeka Ike is 59 years old (March 22, 1967)

ABUJA — The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has declared its support for the Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, and the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), following criticism of the cleric over comments on the country’s economic and security challenges.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Spokesman, Luka Binniyat, the socio-cultural organisation described the criticism of Cardinal Onaiyekan by some presidential aides as “unfair, unnecessary and completely misplaced.”
The forum urged the Federal Government to reflect on the observations made by the Catholic bishops rather than dismissing them.
Cardinal Onaiyekan had, after a meeting between President Bola Tinubu and members of the CBCN, said the President appeared not to be receiving accurate information about the conditions facing ordinary Nigerians.
Responding, the MBF said the Cardinal spoke in the public interest and reflected the experiences of many Nigerians.
“The Middle Belt Forum expresses its total solidarity with His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, on his position regarding poverty and hardship in Nigeria,” the statement said.
According to the group, the Cardinal’s remarks should not be viewed through a political lens but as contributions to national discourse by a respected religious leader.
The MBF also called on President Tinubu to undertake an independent assessment of the living conditions of ordinary Nigerians, particularly victims of terrorism and violent attacks.
It urged the President to engage directly with displaced persons, farmers, widows, market women, unemployed youths and community leaders to gain firsthand insight into the challenges they face.
The forum said communities in the Middle Belt had endured years of insecurity, with many residents displaced by violent attacks, leading to the destruction of homes, farmlands and livelihoods.
While acknowledging the efforts and sacrifices of the military and other security agencies, the MBF maintained that insecurity continues to affect farming, business activities and the daily lives of millions of Nigerians.
On the economy, the forum argued that although the national minimum wage had increased, rising inflation and the depreciation of the naira had reduced workers’ purchasing power, making it more difficult for many households to meet basic needs.
It also cited increases in the cost of fuel, food, transportation, electricity, cooking gas, healthcare and education as factors contributing to the hardship experienced by many Nigerians.
The MBF urged the President to welcome constructive criticism and engage with differing views as part of efforts to address the country’s challenges.
It reiterated its support for the CBCN and Cardinal Onaiyekan, saying discussions on poverty, insecurity and the welfare of citizens are legitimate contributions to national development.

The dying friend sounds like saying forever and ever as in dying die
If you are jobless, you can visit the job section for vacancies. Stop disgracing yourself everywhere.
Here is an emotional moment a man begged his dying friend to reveal the person who stabbed him on the chest. All his pleas were in vain as his friend, Diamond had already crossed the line of no return.
If you have been present to witness the death of a loved one, you would realize that as soon as the person starts breathing heavily, they are already gone. They are no longer conscious of your presence or whatever you are saying.
I hope the killer is apprehended. The greatest gift in life is LIFE. The moment your breath ceases, whatever you own...houses, cars, wife, children, lands, etc are no longer useful.
Walk away from trouble. Nor allow another man take away your greatest gift on earth - LIFE.
The vice presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabi’u Kwankwaso on Sunday received defectors from the All Progressives Congress, APC, into the NDC and the Kwankwasiyya Movement
Kwankwaso received Danlami Zakari Unguwar Gertai (Garkuwan Gari) of Gari Local Government Area, Kano State, alongside his supporters.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement disclosed this in a post on social media on Sunday.
According to the movement, the delegation was received at Kwankwaso’s residence along Miller Road, Kano State.
It added that the defectors pledged their loyalty and unwavering commitment to the movement and its vision for a better Nigeria.
This came barely 24 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, published credentials and personal details of Kwankwaso and the presidential candidate of the NDC, Peter Obi, in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
The duo are former presidential candidates in 2023 in their various political parties.
They defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and then dumped the party for the NDC, citing internal divisions and court cases.
If you like, allow people to deceive you and discourage you not to Japa if you have the opportunity. You will regret it. Allow sycophants like Daniel Bwala whose family lives abroad to deceive you.
