Let me use this medium to advise all our youths who are in the same dilemma.

First of all I know Nigeria is a very difficult country to live by statistics, thus, you MUST have to intentionally develop a very rugged, thick skin for living through it.

However, our youths must rise above this by being intentional about success. You must embrace discipline that generate results, you must identify the sacrifices you need to actualize your goals, you must erase or put at the bottom of your list "White collar job" haunting and embrace acquisition of skills aligned to your destiny makeup. Do not learn a skill base on sentiments, rather base it on your innate ability(ies).

You must know what you want to achieve (FOCUS). Give yourself realistic goals with time base. Spend time to search through your abilities and ask God to help you to locate one within you. This requires a lot of quiet time and paying of attention to your abilities.

Also, do not stop trying out different business options. If it requires learning from someone, go ahead and serve in that industry and not necessarily making money your focus. I remember in 2003/2004, I contemplated suicide. That year I picked a strong fight with God with I knew I was totally helpless. Crossover night of 2004, I asked God to kill me and if HE refuses, it means HE must do something to change my situation. I was damn serious about it. In fact, in my heart I have already killed myself if not my scripture awareness.

That was how I started my journey, but it was not funny. Learn to be intimate with God if you are frustrated. I know the world will say, abeg carry your God thing go! But my dear, watch most of these guys talking like this, they are either facing serious internal battle of one sort or the other.

Lastly GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST JESUS. I know we have turned this saying to religious saying. So unfortunate. I can assure you, this phrase is not a religious phrase. May God open your heart.

You are yet to give the guy a reason to have a fight with God or give his or her life to Christ as you preached. Tell him what happened to you after cross over night 2004 when you picked a fight with God, then, you would have given him or her a convincing reason to enter into a relationship with God as you adviced....

I said I've hardly, I no talk say fine people no get brains.

Ok... I apologize, if my response doesn't correspond.

LienwaltAbel:
Truly beauty and brains don't mix, I've hardly seen fine people with brains.

Never say never! I represent beauty, brain and the fear of God! I am a diplomat in the dept of history and int' l studies... and I can boldly beat my chest to say that my result is as a result of hard work, dedication and the grace of God upon my life. So never say never..... Only that some girls just like the lady in discuss, disappoints women in their character and disposition that I oftenly wonder, if they actually came out from a family or that they just landed from the sky to the earth. They don't care about their family reputation one bit. May God have mercy on this internet and social media generation of youths.

I've had my fair share of failures in business that I've become very pessimistic about business now but I won't forget one in a hurry.

I was home for a break in school so I looked for something to do to earn money for the main time. A friend of my mom was selling bar soaps then and according to my mom she was swimming in money though she didn't look it o. I met her and she told me how she was making millions by taking the soaps to other States to sell, she advised I went to pH since they had high purchasing power.

I used to hustle street trading in pH so I was familiar with the environs which was an advantage or so I thought. I did my calculations and was in high spirits as I was going to hammer this time.

I borrowed 100k from my dad, bought about cartoons of bar soap and set off to pH on a faithful Wednesday because I targeted oil mill Thursday market . I first dropped at obigbo junction and set my cartons of soap by a corner that the owner was absent and started screaming on top of my voice soliciting for customers...buy your original soap here, only 100 100 naira, e don dey finish oooo, eleme dey look bayelsa dey buy oo, after today no more ooo....I kept shouting....

I got some occasional glances by passerby's as they proceeded to their destinations, one hour turned to two hours yet no one has asked me whether na sample I sample abi na sell I dey sell. I got exhausted from my fruitless shouting and sat down, I realized it was getting dark so I called the number of the person I would pass the night in her place at mile 1....ghen ghen number no dey no reachable .... I shaa packaged my cartoons of soap and set off to mile 1, after all I came for oil mill so I'm sure I would sell all the next day.

Getting to mile 1 around past 8, every where was dark and deserted. I was scared so I had to proceed to mile 3 that was livelier. I packed my goods in one park and started looking for a place to pass the night, I went to a police station but they were questioning me like a criminal even after narrating my ordeal to them. I left and went the a church and the security turned me back that they only allow people to sleep in the church during vigils. I ended up sleeping in an uncompleted building in the state university.

The following morning I set off to oil mill market, I remember when I dropped a barrow pusher came to carry the goods to a place I would keep them but since I was running low on cash I asked him to help me place it on my head....haa oga this thing heavy o e go break your neck o, just give me 3h make I carry am for you.....he exclaimed, don't worry I'm fine I replied.

Five minutes later I was sweating like a Christmas goat with my neck now at 180 degrees, it was remaining just two poles to my destination when I gave up and dropped the bag. I called another barrow pusher and he quoted 250 naira.....chai see penny wise pound foolish, I barely had any strength left to haggle price so I agreed.

I found a corner outside the market and set my cartons of soap, I took one carton and went inside the market screaming on top of my voice as usual, three hours later and I had just sold only 5 bars of soap to make matters worst it started raining and my cartons of soap was in the open.

I ran like a mentally deranged man to where I kept my wares trying to save it from the rain, while I tried to carry the cartons to a shed some gave way throwing some of the soaps on the road with tricycles running over them. A barrow pusher came to my rescue and helped me save the rest.

After the rain subsided I went back into the market and started selling the soap at a 50% loss yet I was unable to finish one carton, while I was struggling to sell my kaya those agberos came with their wahalla and collected #300 from me, I went to a different section of the market to try my luck and 4 different agberos surrounded me with different tickets each not less than #200 . Oga abeg I never sell anything I tried to explain to them, come on give me my money joor one of them roared.
By now I was close to tears as they made away with my goods, heiya its unfair o, you people should pity this poor boy naa, see he's even crying, some market women pleaded on my behalf. They finally collected #500 from me.

I managed to sell two cartons just enough to get my transport back home and set off to the park. I was looking very dirty and unkept, at the park I bumped into a girl I was wooing when I was in ph, she kept staring at me probably trying to deduce if I was actually the person she was seeing. I kept a straight face and went to sit at the back of the bus away from other passengers glare.

At home I took the remaining goods to the woman I bought it from and sold it to her at over 60% loss and gave my dad the balance, though he complained but I carest not.

No matter how e be..... I must make money or die trying

Honestly, this your story really burst my mouth open , I son laugh tire.... Dohhhh, life no easy....

It is an insultive advice!

Happy father's day to my dearest Father and happy father's day to my love and Father of my children... May God never take his eyes off you all. And to all responsible and committed fathers out there, who toil day in day out to keep the family going, I say happy father's day to you all but to those cheaters and side chick keepers, who hurts their wives deliberately, may you reap your reward in millions fold if you all refuse to repent.

Let him go and answer to his creator. The wealth God gave him, instead of reverencing and serving God with it, he choose to sin with it.

You are not yet ready for marriage. So you can't help her out medically for friendship sake and all you could do for your selfish interest was to look for an easy exit way out. You no be better person at all... Just let that lady be abeg, go find person like you marry. You think marriage is a bed of roses huhhh? Any small problem you will encounter means you go jakpa. Please, grow up and face the lady with the truth. Tell her the truth that you aren't a true friend after all let alone one worthy of her. You wicked shaaaaa.... You dey make me vex honestly....

Bluntemperor:
I don get it?
Why did your would be employer asked you to come for an exam which you are' sure' is a repeated exam?.
- how were you so sure?
- how are you so sure that there are no major/ minor difference between the one they are asking you to take,which you deliberately refused and the earlier one you took?
- Assuming twenty of you had a success rate and your 'would be ' employer wanted to reduce your number to smaller number by given another test of same nature,yet in your judgement,you refused?
- As an incoming employee, put yourself at the Employer's feet,how do you feel if given instructions to you,you deliberately rejected such . Would you make a good Employee for such organization?
In every organization,Human Capital Development is a very sensitive unit of a bussiness and to avoid what is called a 'recruitment error' you may have to start all over again,if given the chance because wisdom should have prevailed before you answered in the negatives. Wish you the best.

Well uncle or aunty, I just lend a voice to a certain guy that commented that he flogged a boy who didn't do his assignment. I know the thread isn't about flogging but I just have to sound it, because I detest flogging people's children unnecessarily. All the same, thanks for reminding me what the threads is all about. Happy first Sunday of the month!

Teachers should stop flogging people's children pleaseee..... Stop flogging kids.
if you can't detect another means of passing your message other than flogging, then let that child be, before una go carry dead body go house all in the name of disciplining pupils. You don't know the kind of sickness some of them have within them. Enough said. If you are a teacher, stop flogging children please....

Sore throat, flu, muscle aches, lymph node enlargement. These are signs of a viral infection and they show up 1 -2 weeks after exposure.

I'll go for a test tomorrow, secretly. I've made peace with myself, it's telling my wife that's the issue. This home I hold dear will definitely scatter over a 5 minute one day stand.
