I'm back again lol, albeit I said my previous post, go be my last post on this thread. I read some people's story here, and I feel like dropping mine too. It can only get better.

I graduated from high school in 2006(16 years old). I end staying at home for 5 years, before I gained university admission in 2011, we resumed in Jan 2012.(five months to 22nd birthday)

Can you believe I didn't learn a single skill throughout my 5 years at home. I didn't complete the computer training i enrolled for, na later I learn am lol.

I just dey hustle, i teached in a primary school for about two half years, I resigned and enter the street, with my some friends, we dey engage in some very hard sunny jobs, but the pay was good then, na so I waste my 5 years lol....

College wasn't too smooth, thanks to strike; Internal(ALUTA, my OAU folks can relate and external(ASUU). i graduated from college early 2016.(26 years old).

Unfortunately, I wasn't mobilized for NYSC that year, I had to wait for another year, it was so painful, cos age no dey my side. well this time I use am wella, to cut the long story short I finished nysc 2018(28years old).

As a street boy, I don calculate say job no be for everyone, me included so I step up my hustle and diversify. I lock up, no CV, my pali(certificate) just dey rest somewhere in my wardrobe...

So February last year, NNPC came, I calculated the age, fortunately for me I scaped through, so I decided to try.

I registered and I was shortlisted. i wrote the CBT and was invited for interview, I never saw that coming though, no be say I dull oh, but me interview lol.

The only thing wey pain me be say, the stress wey i went through, before dem give me my NECO certificate, cos e dey part of the documents wey dem request for. dos guys wey dey neco office stressed my life.

My dad followed me sef, i told him to chill say I go handle ma but he won't listen, don't mind himna so e be. I remember sometimes in 2008 wey we go Minna( Niger State) from Abeokuta (Ogun State), wey i go write Jamb, late registration issh, I no con gain admission with the jamb las las.

I left Abeokuta late that day wey i collect my neco certificate. I left around 6PM, I dey go ile-Ife. Dad told me to sleep over and go the next day, I was like I don overstay sef. I've got things to do and time no dey, na wetin make me miss oga Jarus interview be that.

I risked my life that night it wasn't funny. I had a flat tyre at Gbongan(Lagos/Ibadan expressway, around 10:30PM). Chai, my spirit almost left my body when I heard the sound, cos that place dey hot gan that time last year, robbery, kidnapping dey happen frequently.

I sha manage drive pass the thick bush, fortunately there was a fuel station nearby, dem never close, I met a road side vulcanizer, he was about leaving, I begged him to help that my journey still far, I tell am say I still dey go Ekiti lol.

i had experienced again around OUI roundabout(around 11PM), i heard another sound but not loud sha, damn another flat tyre and no more extras.

I was like damn mehn, am I gonna survive this night, to God be the glory here I am today, on top all the stress, dem no gimee job lol. I don get am for mind before say na 50/50.




I will be 30 by June, officially I can't get (GT)job in Nigeria, like I'm looking for one sef lol. na so I jejely went back to my plans, wey I don dey work on, along side waiting for nnpc.

Anytime wey i remember how the journey go be, I just dey shit for pants lol. I was hoping nnpc go safe me lol. now

The thought that, I'm gonna leave my fiancé in nigeria, and I go comot for two cold years, no dey go down well at all, no be say I like book like that but I gat no choice. Man must survive!!!!


My advice to us, be say make we no give up, and don't settle for less. You can do it if you believe, and you work towards it. it's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be hard, its gonna be very hard. You may fall into depression, you'd wanna give up, but eventually everything go fall in place. that's life....

if age no dey your side, abeg dey plan to comot the country, even if na South africa, some of their schools dey top 200(UCT) in the world.

Don't get stuck in naija, don't be a grupo lol, don't be that nigga wey dey always complain, complains like "if Eve no chop that Apple, I no go dey suffer today lol". Go and learn new ways to make money.

Lastly, don't join Amotekun!!! jk lol

We gonna be ok las las, remember say in life everybody get time wey dem go reach their destination.

Be strong!!!! always remember you're not doing this for yourself alone, you're also doing it for your unborn children, you're also doing it for the culture lol.

bobowaja, iyajelili and mitocyan, i go reach out to you guys soon. I've been extra busy since friday, I go settle down soon, I go reach out.

Jetting out of the country very soon.....

I wish all of us well in life. Never give up. be strong!!!

i hail all local men and women, i hail all APLees and us non APLees, I know its painful, but we all gonna be fine.

pS: abeg don't mind my grammar, all ye nairaland professor, i no sabi how to type grammar on NL, its not official, so I freestyle, just so you know, I slayed IELTS. so don't judge my intelligence based on my pidgin/bad grammar post.

Travel / Re: Current Situation In South Korea! by Taciturnity: 11:31am On Jan 16, 2020
chukxie:
Nice one, Op. Hard truth, you told! South Korea is a sweet country sha. I was there from 2004 to 2007. Back then it was very easy to land a factory job because there were jobs everywhere; and factories were eager to hire blacks. My first job was at a textile washing and dying factory sandwiched between Uijeongbu and Dongducheon. From there I moved on 6to a jeans making factory somewhere after Pucheon. Korean factory jobs no be moi-moi oo! Na twelve hours, Monday to Saturday. I recall one winter evening during dinner at the cafeteria the immigration raided the jeans factory I was working in. The factory had workers from 9ja, the Philippines, Nepal and Peru. Come see run! The 'ajuma' (elderly woman cook) hid me and some Filipinos inside her room. I was scared 'shitful' because I was carrying a student visa, and knew my visa would be cancelled if I was caught. The immigration team searched but didn't find us. A few workers were caught but no 9ja guy was caught. Back then 9ja guys used to put up a fight with the immigration police. After that experience, I returned to Itaewon where I was living and concentrated on my studies. It was during that period I landed my first part-time ESL job. I learnt how to teach English as a second language in Korea! The rich experience I gained in Korea followed me into China where I'm currently based. I feel very nostalgic talking about Korea. I dated my first Caucasian chic there. Shagged a good number of western, Filipina, Korean and even a Kiwi fanny there! For clubbing, I used to frequent Kings Club and X.O. For mellow evenings, I used to chill at Geckos,The Loft or Reggae Pub. For cheap clothes, I used to shop till I dropped at Dongdemun! For second hand electronics, Yongsan base was my go-to place because I had friends there. For a quick Korean rice and stew, Ajuma-half-chicken was my favourite spot. The tiny restaurant was situated right behind the building housing Burger King. Has Itaewon changed much? How long have you been in 'Koko' for? Is Haebangcheon still thriving and teeming with blacks? Are those 'ashewos' still on hooker hill? Take care, bro. May God bless your hustle.

This is the first and only government Job I have applied to and I must confess it's the most mentally draining recruitment I have ever undertaken.
Prior to my interview on the 5th of July, I had registered to take IELTS on the 27th of July. The addictive nature of this thread didn't allow me study hard enough as I was glued to my phone 24/7. As a consequence, I didnt get the desired score and also wasted 75k. From my experience, my obsessive daily thoughts about how life would be alot better when Apl comes was my greatest undoing. Fortunately, I retook the test and got my desired band score.
Here is my advise. While we wait, plz learn a new skill, apply to other jobs, scholarships etc., and most importantly learn to manage expectations.

May God bless us all. Happy new month

can I send you a p.m bro

Hmm, if Monday is so likely others should have heard from their sources by now. Except they are trying to be confidential.
