You don't call your boss wicked. Use difficult instead.

To be honest, although desperation is a thing, I understand why he might not want to go for the restaurant job.
It does not add to his experience that much depending on his career path.
Sometimes, its not always about money

The situation in Nigeria is so worse that many graduates are even begging for teaching job where they don't pay more than 20k just to survive.

May God bless our future and present!

There is this school that offer graduates 7k, claiming it's a new school. Graduates are suffering in Nigeria. May God come to our rescue.

The way you are complaining about little pay and high cost of transportation is the same way your boss is striving to cope with harsh business environment. I worked for people before going into business and now I understand what it takes to run a business in Nigeria. Sometimes you wake up and start thinking of going to work for someone else and collect salary at the end of the month. Remember how desperate you were before he considered you as his employee. Please my dear, running business in Nigeria is so tough except you are "lucky" to be among those who are ripping other people or the economy off in the name of running a business.

nice one Op, but if your health comes on the line, you know what to do.

really underemployed tooto

desperation is a very bad thing. Desperate people get abused, no matter how skilled they are, they still get abused, no matter how obedient they are, they still get abused, trampled upon and treated like dirt. Dont stop looking outside for a better place if where you are now is killing you. Find a place where you'll be appreciated. Anticipate the breath of freedom.

unemployment is bad mehn

@Sylver247

Your story is touching and I am sure a lot of people who are in similar situations can relate with it.

You shouldn't be surprised that more than a few job seekers would still give "an arm and a leg" to have your job. The situation is that critical.

I have found out that being positive and having a spirit of gratitude can help one to make the most of any situation.

When faced with serious challenges at work and giving up looks like an option, a former boss used to remind us that many people would gladly take up our roles, even at half-pay.

He said this not to spite us but to remind us to appreciate what we have until a better option comes up.

Perhaps, as you suggested, your current employer is unwittingly "toughening" you for your next job, making you a more valuable employee.

abi valuable employer?

You are right. Desperation and a country full of leaders who prefer to destroy than to empower.
Some bosses know you don't have too many options so they treat employees in a way they can't treat their own dogs.

dere re some places more expensive dan lagos and abuja... or nigeria.
if m to build house where i am den God really don smile on me...

This is really as hard as it gets. they say the future belongs to those who see opportunity before they become obvious. The best way out of this Nigerian situation is to learn a skill, I have never seen a broke Guy that knows his hand work very well. I for one just finished my ND Program going back to school next year to round up HND. ever since I got my professional certificate in the field of ICT I have never been jobless for once it's either I get a call from here or there, today Lagos, tomorrow Calabar, Delta and the list goes i have met a lot of professionals in my field and kicking it hard, there are no dull moments, to me it is just a hobby and making money sleep when i want and wake when i want would be registering my company by Gods Grace before going back to school finally. brokeness de fear me I wish everyone the best of their wishes. All graduate reading this your door must surely open

Rule 21.... I only did this because you stated you were a graduate with 2:1. Let it reflect in your post.

Have many friends like that with good 2:1 in reputable university course, but just have to survive with ridiculous pay that can't even feed them comfortably for a month not to talk of other bills.

Where do we go from here!!!
