[b]Hmmm.. someone talking about skilled labour... Has computer science graduate.. and experienced Technical Support Services...

Most nigerians are not willing to pay for services oo...

They prefer to patronize quack tech guys.. that would charge half the price or higher.. and spoil there gadget...

Then you will be forced to pay more ..to consult expertise or purchase new gadgets..

Where i work has part time system support engineer...

It's hell men.. these guys are not ready invest money on equipment.. but if you can twerk softwares and machines... They will pay you nothing or peanuts..

Well some are lucky in this country to get juicy offer Jobs..

While the rest are to fend and hustle to make ends meet..

Hardship is damn real for most families in this country called Nigeria.

I asked someone today that is God aware of all this things happen to us? Inhuman innocent killings in Nigeria..

AlSo when we cry to God ... When will there be speedy..intervention?

Too many lawyers in a developing economy like Nigeria that needs more people with technical education in building things.

There are not enough professional businesses in the economy, police do not do their jobs and many ordinary people don't resolve disputes using courts, hence limited need for lawyers.

If you don't have a job I hope you have a great family that helps you financially, if you don't have a great family I hope you have great friends that are benevolent.

Above all I hope you have God.

One day I will share my testimony on Nairaland.

Cuz to survive without a Job in Nigeria is crazy I must confess
God, Good Family and Good Friends..

Three important thing that can't be trade off..

You don't have to leave your current job to start over; your current job is your means of survival. You have to dedicate some hours of your time to learn new skills/things. I can't even remember the last time I slept for
3-4 hours. NEVER PUT YOUR HOPE ON HUMANS. It has led to tears...VERY premium tears.
That's just the sad situation we've found ourselves in this country. It's one of the reasons we're not progressing 'cause unqualified people are handling several positions. But, you just need to widen out. Go to certain places and meet people. I've seen people that got connections that led to jobs when they were discussing in public. A barber I knew years ago was sponsored abroad for his football career while discussing at the barbing salon. He was barbing my agbalumo head without realizing the next person was a coach. You just have to always make yourself available. Let people be aware of your qualifications and abilities.Years ago, I was with an older family friend at a shell company, so a man started having issues with a computer, he didn't know what to do and getting someone to fix it was a problem. I volunteered to fix it(to the surprise of everyone), and I was able to solve the issue because I've spent hours operating, spoiling and repairing the various computers we had at home. The man immediately offered me a job and I started working the next day till I went to the University. You just have to greatly expand your knowledge and skills acquisition 'cause you never know when you'll be needed.Move with friends that impact positive values to your life. Teach each other things. I taught a friend how to repair computer hardwares and he taught me how to barb. I apply my skills in my day to day life. I'll be turning 68 soon, hope you'll wish me long life and prosperity?
you just made a lot of sense. I wish you longest life. I salute.

Finished services since 2019 and applied to so many job openings without success so I decided to leave my comfort zone and move to Lagos were I had no family, it's been 4 months since I moved to Lagos and to God be the glory atleast I haven't gotten my dream job but I currently work in a flour mill were I work as a loader with salary of 13000 per week(not a job for the weak though), am happy and still pushing for a better job, so I decided to create another source of income for myself and by the grace of God it was a success and it puts 1600 in my pocket every day.

I’m happy for you. At least you have something to keep your sanity in check.

Next is to start planning big. Don’t relax. Start picking a skill. I mean a good skill like programming, Networking, video editing, Product Management. These are top IT skills.

Network with other people in these fields and seek mentorship.

Mumu question..

How's that a mumu question now? Why would he be having sex recklessly when he can barely feed himself and wife. He doesn't have money to buy condom but can stupidly have sex raw and now he's expecting another child. That is total foolishness, don't you think. How much does it cost to partake in family planning, eh?

A broke man has no right to have an erection ever!

I don't know why black people like you never think of tomorrow, rather you'd be begging, praying and hoping on God to come down from heaven to feed you.

People who have just two kids, do you think they don't like sex as well or they don't want more kids? In this current situation, someone earning less than N1m a month shouldn't have more than 2 kids if he wants to live a good life.

In my office, the least earner has got only two kids and the highest earner has just four and he earns more than N2m a month. Do you think he doesn't have sex every day? Seek knowledge first before any other thing. Know this and know peace.

30K? I currently earn 16k as a teacher in a private school with my BTech degree in Physics/Electronics. Might I add that I am the first born of the family and currently solely responsible for the school fees of three siblings, and to a large extent, their feeding too? The depression alone no be here. I had such high hopes of securing a job after service. May God help us in this country.

Keep your degree aside first. Go ride Keke, okada or taxi. Even private lesson is better than your teaching job. You can drive Keke from morning till 2pm, organise private lessons for kids in a good venue from 4pm to 6pm three or four times a week. Once you close from lesson you hustle small with your taxi or Keke. Think outside the box, learn new skills. Don't tie yourself to that teaching job.

I must say kaduna is not that bad but seriously thinking of going to kano. Too much competition in Lagos so I hard to leave to my current location

Nice. How's the North ? We always hear of negative news from there. Never been there myself. Hopefully I will. It's not a liberal society(over there) is what I hear.

Goodluck.

we are family of five,3 kids though expecting another because I can't afford condom always which led to pregnancy

Mr, condoms are always cheaper than a baby.

Cheaper than any baby!!!

No excuses for having children/bringing children into the world that you cannot give a good and high quality life.

The modern world is to have 2 kids. That is what those making N1m a month are having. When you already had 2, why have a third when you know you are struggling?

Now you are bringing a fourth to join in the suffering?

Or are you an Aboki?

I will advise you start a business and leave that job or start a side Hussle that your siblings can assist you with. Also try teaching for several schools instead of being loyal to one and earning peanut

You guys should stop all these annoying pity talks abeg. What was he thinking birthing 3 kids in a situation like this. He said he can't afford condom and now he's expecting the fourth.

Now you have 2 kids, for the sake of your sanity and dignity don't bring another child to this world. Go and get yourself nipped(vasectomy) right away if you want to keep having sex raw.

Africans and this crazy mentality of breeding like rabbits. Make una carry una cross abeg. Tueeh!
