There wasn't any pain being rejected for a job to be honest. I moved on and worked on myself. Told a company about how their ideas won't work and they got me fired the next day .
The idea never worked .

When life throws lemon... make a lemonade. How sweet will thy success story be without pains and bottlenecks?

Op. Calm down and see these obstacles as chanlenges u need to overcome . If things come so easy.. you won't appreciate it. Tomorrow always come with a new opportunity, Right now it is all about you. No send anybody o. Do whatever legit job you can to raise Capital for your business . Small small...everything go set.


If people tell you what they have done to be where they are today ehn... you will know yours is a child's play.


Then ... I am going to say this. Never ever never ever compare yourself with someone or them intimidate you. Don't let your junior,senior or whoever's wealth make you sad . Remember, overtaking is allowed.

. Own yourself with pride. Na money u no get ...u no kill person . The money self ...u go get am soon.

Na una follow play Nigeria for handicap odds.

How old are you?

If you are humble and can endure.. I'll say you should careful look for an igbo man whom you can serve,learn his trade and if you do well,be assured of good settlement(money), and there's lots of things to learn and acquire while with him( if you are a good hustler,u go enjoy am pass those that have been there b4 you or are still there with him)

When I tried and tried,slept in TBS,slept under the building(staircase) of old nitel building, bathe for roadside around 5am for that fcmb side for McCarthy... had to go serve my boss and I give God the GLORY for my life now

Put God first and watch how it plays out

Life is really hard. Right now i'm awake looking at my 2 kids and wife. We were able to eat the only meal by begging. Lord have mercy, i know i'm not lazy. It just that my salary is very poor. By Monday they will be sent back home due to unpaid fees. I don't want to give up but i'm depressed. I have prayed but no response, i'm even doubting God right now. Even if i'm a sinner, should my children go hungry? I'm owing debt here and there, can't walk freely.

Dude, we are just on the same boat. Mine is three kids and a wife. I have really looked for
another job again severally but to no avail. I have good driving and electrical and electronic skills. Lack of capital is killing me and family slowly. Due to lack of food, ulcer has set in for me. I have prayed and believe God severally for a change. I hope I survive this phase. No connection and lack of money for start up. My kids are even out of school as I write! Oh Lord have mercy on me and family!

Anambra that he ruled for almost a decade, how are they faring over there?
Them don run go Lagos finish.

The parkinsonism laden diseased heroin damaged leaky shaky organ damaged baron did build a world class hospital at Lagos but just donated it to we yorubas to treat our leaking bladder and brain since he has a mortuary in France to recharge his quarter to quench organs .


Did the idiot forfeit anything to the US government or not?


This is apart from what Bola TINUBU gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury.

But see what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor:

1. No gratuity
2. No pensions
3. No houses
4. No cars
5. No allowances of any kind
6. No maintenances of any kind.
7. No personal assistants paid by the state.
8. No domestic staffs paid by the state.
9. No aids sponsored by the state.
10. Not even pure water.
11. No shishi from the State.
12. No landed property
13. No trace of any form of corruption on him till date
14. He's still using his personal money to pay school fees for some children of the poor till date.

Now the two men want to be president.

So choose you today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly.

depression is killing me, i tried alot of jobs but i could not secure any, now i even have phobia and i feel hopeless.

The only business i could have put in which is selling of petrol, kerosine and engine oil failed because its will cost atleast 20k to start.

How do i go about this please brothers and sisters?
Go spiritual about it. Badluck is following your job search. Seek the face of God.

Apart from that, work on your CV and your self, know how to answer interview questions smartly, know how to compose yourself in an interview. I had an interview, if I wasn't prepared and smart, I would have flopped. God help you okay. Work on yourself.

I have a strong passion for driving. I was driving this minibus for hire purchase in Asaba due to lack of job before the owner of the bus hubby took it due to marital problem. I have been looking for another to no avail. I have some wiring skills and electronic knowledge also.

Honestly, if anyone had told me I'll struggle this much to find a job, I would not have believed. Sometimes Ilask myself if I'm a spoon. I served in Minna, stayed back for one year after POP, applied for several jobs to no avail, even went to abj for aptitude test, did numerous job interviews online, nothing was forthcoming.

Even the little I was able to save during NYSC was lost in grains business I invested in. Some days I starved even with the 15k job I was managing in Minna. I do online courses, but no money for sub.

Then early last month I decided to relocated to Lagos with the hope of getting a job. I went for an aptitude test again, I passed, got contacted for an online interview; three stages. This is the 4th week now and I still haven't heard anything from them.

Wetin con hurt me pass na when my uncle indirectly use me preach this morning. The topic was "Diligence in Service"....and he centered on laziness all through.

When things don't go well, they start concluding you're lazy when you stay at home doing nothing.

So you're not alone brother. E go better, na phase.

One of the best advice out here.

I remember when i had nothing and depressed.

Then i rose up, did exactly what you wrote and now i own my business.

If the youths could only be focus and go into any industry learning a skill and pound that industry hard with time you will smile.

But it requires patience and perseverance.

Nowadays our youths are Lazy. No one want to learn mechanic, electrical, carpentary and furnishing, caterpillar repairs, computer repair, tayloring and so on. They want to ride cars like their young friends.

Lastly, been obedient or government will not give you anything, you yourself have to work hard for your own in the country
