UHello house,
Permit me start by introducing myself. I am Efiok joseph, I hold Bachelors of Science Degree in Marine chemistry(2008), Masters of Science Degree in Chemistry(materials science and explosives-NDA:Distinction :4.4-2016). I may not be the best brain around but I am humble, teachable and versatile. I am putting up this thread because at this stage in my life, I am having a great pressure within and outside my sphere of influence. I have done everything I think is worthwhile to have a descent life. I Am almost feeling frustrated and depressed, this is due to the fact that at 30+ and still living in my parents house (insult me if you like), I feel I am just alone in this entire world. I can barely afford basic need of life. Before you crucify and blame everything on my laziness, let me give a bit of what I have been up to lately.

Rewind to 2008/2009- I had a job with a hotel..was paid seven thousand as start up, I took up the job not even considering my academic status, I believed in God, while I was there, I was able to save money and I enroled in many trainings and seminars. Some include basic safety course, customer service relationship, I also obtained a diploma in basic ict/computer appreciation, oil tanker farmilirization, LNG HSSEQ and other related oil and gas certificate courses. I saved enough money to buy a car and registered business name as a logistic enterprise, I was able to get an office space for that but some how high taxing and unfriendly business environment made me close down the office and returned to taxi (town drop) services. I had an accident and was forced to sale the car instead of total loss, i could no longer afford my rent and moved in with my parents, i was devasted. As the saying goes that quitters never win and winners never quit, I picked up my pieces, swallowed my pride and enrolled in sure-p, luckily I made it through the selection process and I was placed as an intern with an entertainment company with 15k take home after all sortings.

I simultaneously ran this alongside my MSc program which I almost single handedly sponsored myself till late last year..well, I had a further knock when in lost my 4yrs+ relationship, my fiancee who was hitherto very supportive left without any sign, I went bipolar, I hated life and depression set in. I sometimes wonder if there is anyone out there with my kind of experience....as I write this I am sited on the road side, I am confused, I am tired, I am teary...I sometimes think I have offended God so much that he has forgotten about me. I have updated my CV, I have applied for countless jobs, adjusting my CV accordingly. I have tried my hands on all sort of things, from marketing job, phone call business, laundry services trust me, have hustled. Many times I have contemplated suicide but I know its not the best option coz I would break the heart of my parents and all those who believed and invested in me and most importantly, God. I have listened to lost of motivational/inspirational CD to stir my faith, but trust me its as if its taking forever, I am losing it BIG TIME. I bought PhD form this year but on a second thought I considered I need a stable source of cash flow to to balance my life in whatever endeavour going forward and my parents are aging, so I dropped the idea.

I have read of stories here on Nairaland about people who carried placard and some how were lucky, while others give testimonies on how God visited them. i am using this opportunity to beg you all for your assistance for a JOB or a loan.....I have written my proposals for companies telling them about the ideas I have but some of them end up hijacking them. I seriously need an urgent help, even if as PA, voluntary, paid, partial paid...anything' I am ready to relocate if need be.
Thank you and God bless you.

When you think you have hit the rocks, behold dere lies in wait a river behind those gaint rocks....
Am not a motivational speaker or so, i may not be so much advanced as you are in everytin, i may even suck @ giving advice....
Yet i just cant read your heart touching experience and leave widout a comment.

I just want you to know that GOD created you for a purpose in this life, perhaps ur purpose in life may not go in lue with what you think u are pursuing.

My honest Advice, Channel your heart to God(not church,nor mosque) and seek him deligently on the path you should go... I believe he would direct you accordingly, just BELIEVE and ASK HUMBLY...

I am revived by your kind words. Bless you sir

Everything happens for a reason Brother, I also had tough times, very very difficult times. I was in a haste, I wanted it all, I husled till I was left with nothing cause I wasnt born again, I was married to sin. In this wicked world we all need God for divine exploit, Today I thank God for those difficult times, If I made it then , I could have made alot of mistakes that cld hav eventually cost me my life. Today I have peace of mind, I no longer find security in money, but in God who provides everything. I have everything, Cause Jesus in everything. My advice for you is to keep believing in God, He is not wicked. Maybe you cld have married the wrong lady if you had it all, but she left cause she wasnt yours, Just look around you nd summit to his will, cause He has bigger plans for you. Keep praying about it nd ask for mercy. I know it might sound out of line cause d best thing u can think of now its d job, (mathew 7.7) (james 1:17) (psalm 35vs27) .Bro dont hate urself, u have a degree , u are alive nd u are not disabled. So hope is not lost, u will get there nd tell the world ur story. (Romans 8: 32). Cheers
