Good evening everyone,

Please take a little time to read what I have to say. For the past few days I've been having suicidal thoughts and the more I try to strike it off my mind, the more it becomes entrenched. You might be wondering what's actually the cause of this. Well I'm a graduate. I graduated from one of the foremost federal universities in Nigeria with a 2:1 and I've been through with my NYSC programme for more than a year now. However, since then I've been unable to secure a good job. The more I try, the harder it seems to become. I've tried all my best applying, I've tried to reach out to people with little success. I've tried my hand on a variety of things but the pay is so little and not always coming that it becomes foolhardy to continue. You work to collect peanuts which they won't even pay on time yet you keep spending the little that should be meant for feeding on transportation. I've had business ideas on what I can do but I can't even muster any start up capital and help is not forthcoming. Dad is a pensioner that was last paid in May 2015 and mum is a civil servant who is being owed for 7 months. Elder siblings are preoccupied with themselves and their families with the current economic reality leaving too little to spare.

My unemployed status is affecting me a lot and is getting into me. Feeding has become one huge problem and it gets tougher everyday. For the past couple of months I've contemplated going into crime or scam but I can't just fathom soiling the family name just to feed. Now it has gotten to a stage that I've been left with two terrible options of either indulging in criminal ventures to feed or just exiting this unfair life. Seeing everyday your mates during your undergraduate years living fine especially the "seemingly unserious" ones back then who are so much into yahoo stuffs now make it harder to bear.

Please I'm calling on nairalanders to please help me out. I'm not begging for money because the situation in the country now and our different experiences with scammers might make you think I'm here to scam people. What I'm only begging for is help from anybody on job/work that I can be doing that I will be earning to feed myself and pay my bills. Please I need a job. Any decent job anybody can offer, I will be grateful. I hold a Bsc in Political Science and I live in Lagos. I can relocate if need be. Please help a disturbed soul.

Thanks and God bless you all.
