Please Help Me, I'm About To Be Stranded. by bchi(f): 9:57pm On Dec 25, 2015 |
I came to Lagos in August in search of job, after I concluded One year nysc programme. I left my mom and my kid brother to relief my mom expenses on taking care of us with my aunt( mom elder sis) and granny(mom's mother). My mom is a single mother( lost husband at early stage of marriage like 5years after) and also an average civil servant, who has been taking care of every one and our needs. I left them to Lagos to hustle and also support them. Since I came to Lagos in August, I have been searching for job and spending my little service on transport, paper work(photocopy and writing/ rewriting of CVs) and feeding most times. Here in Lagos, I live with A cousin brother(from mom side) who i respect alot and love most among my other cousins. He accommodates me and sometimes drops #500 for cooking when need to , i have to manage it ( everything is expensive but I have to squeeze) and cook two days meal for both of us. Since this month, he has been get upset over anything and i sense he not happy of my joblessness and he's fed up of my staying at home sometimes ( I stays back cos of no transport fare to go out and I was told to check back some places I tried by January). My hope is in January and I believe I must get job by January with the faith I have. My cousin brother came back yesterday 24 Dec and told me, he's travelling to villa that when he's back, I will tell him why i came Lagos. Before leaving he drops #500 for Christmas cooking. I have endure enough staying with him by eating like a beggar because in my house we eat 3square meals everyday. Food is not our problem,Christmas day mom will prepare a big chicken, salad and drinks for us. I'm saying here is that am not after food but what he told me. Now I sense that he doesn't what me to stay in his place again. As it stands, I don't have anywhere to go and I really want to work in Lagos, am not lazy and I dislike staying at home. That's why I went for aviation course ( Ticket booking ), So I can get job since my grade is poor ( my bad mistake)but I believe my destiny is not tie to it. I don't know what to do and where to go. I have been crying all day. PLEASE I NEED YOUR NICE ADVICE Pardon my errors. Thanks Sorry for the long piece.... Mind you marriage is not my priority but I need to work for myself , I don't love depending on any one #NoLiability 27 Likes 6 Shares |

Cant you try doing casual jobs like marketing, sales girl or cleaner. My aunt started as a cleaner in a multinational coy and now she is a director... Stop looking down on jobs and start from somewhere while you submit CVs and await them to call you.. You are a female... There are plenty jobs in esp mainland.. you can work in factories too. Another thing is you need to review your CV and make sure its inline with the job you applying for cause it increases your chance of being invited, register in all these Job alert websites and pray too 97 Likes 3 Shares |

Na wa ooo, this your cousin mean oo. Anyway I believe God has a special blessing and surprise for you but in the meantime, why don't you tell mummy your situation? I know it might sound foolish but there's no point living like a begger when she can, atleast, take care of you.I pray you find favor before God and man soon. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Look for average paying jobs and use it to further develop yourself. Then you have opportunities. The cleaner that turned to a director in a multinational company has a story behind it or it's a lie. 54 Likes 3 Shares |

You must be responsible for urself so pls n pls, dont grumble over the 500 ur cousin drops for food every 2 days. Learn to start small. Getyour hands on something even if it doesn't pay. Just mk sure u leave the house everyday. Staying at home irritates everyone including God. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

Whatever you do don't be too desperate to do anything to survive. If the complaint from your cousin is too much you can relocate back to your mum's place and start your job search from there. What of your old school mates who live in lagos? You should contact them to know if they can be of any help. The only job I can easily source for you is marketing , which will only favor you if you stay on the mainland because of transport cost. 3 Likes |

.you should be ready to hustle not just carrying CV up and down...you can't say there are no other petty jobs around you that you could engage urself with till you can get a better one..swallow ur pride and start from scratch, you hardly see an ibo guy creating a trend like this coz they are always willing to do any kind of job.. 10 Likes |
