Unemployment is bad, no that's an understatement! Its a bondage  . I don't know about others but its not been easy at all. Sometimes I feel for my fellow guys because we feel the bite more, a lady will always get money to take care of herself no matter what, but where will a guy get from? Even your friend, before he agrees to help you ehn, its like camel passing the eye of a needle  To fellow male job-seekers, how have you been coping with daily survival? How do you get money for feeding, moving around, barbing your hair,buying personal effects and all that? Please share your secrets, maybe others can adopt your method and be better off. 60 Likes 6 Shares |

I survive by punting! Playing realistic forecasts on Bet9ja has been my survival tool. I earn a minimum of N15k per month frm my bets. And that keeps me going in the search for a better opportunity in the labour market while it lasts! 68 Likes 5 Shares |

My brother dont ask this type of question o! So that God would not be angry with us. I work for myself after resigning in 2013, since this year I haven't done any major contract but I haven't lacked anything...before money finishes in my account something from nowhere will just appear. Sometimes I wonder how some people dont believe that God exists and is always with us no matter the prevailing physical situation. Just do your part God is truly not sleeping.

@op, i will make few points here, - Try and lay your hands on any work/business as long as its not crime and its productive.( I suggest you learn if you dont have idea on any craft/trade before now). I prefer craft to trade because it requires no capital/risk and the yield is higher. In short, acquire skills.: - Dont be lazy in anything you do. What is worth doing should be done well. - Dont be fooled by your education and certificates but rather apply it to get a better result. - Always look for opportunities and utilize them fully. - Believe in God. And you will laugh last. : 72 Likes 5 Shares |

OP don't feel down... But I think you should start doing more for yourself, with the little experience you can get from anywhere.. After skool I learnt how to print on shirts without a dime. I started earning small cash here and there. During which I also get to involve in my friends them business, I was always seeking to improve. That's when I started writing business plans, proposals and because of the shirt printing, I learnt corel draw without paying for a class. YouTube is your friend and graphic artist u see around. Now am looking to settle my own business fully. In writing, printing and designing. All I learnt on the street without a dime. But overtime got good at it. Pardon my English... just wanted to flow 56 Likes 3 Shares |

Sylver247: Feeding, ensure you look for owanbe in and around your neighborhood. Dress well (Native). Moving around, well money is needed but doing menial jobs in your neighborhood such as carrying load, washing cars for neighbors, run few errands and if possible babysit and tutorials.....its survival of the fittest. Barbing your head....the bible say wisdom is the principal thing, get it. You do not have money, styling your hair would be foolish so I would advice you barb Gorimapa alias skin( very pocket friendly). The only personal effect you should have now is shaving sticks, roll on, perfume, a shirt(starched) ,trouser(Ironed), tie(neat) and shoes(polished) strictly for interview. My advise to you.....don't dare toast any girl, do it at your own peril. 106 Likes 10 Shares |

Immediately I finished NYSC in Nov. 2014 I looked for a place where I could learn a hand work; I eventually found an automobile service company where i was able to learn how to work on cars (mechanic), I was paid peanuts in dehumanising condition but I knew I was learning a new skill and small change no matter how small was entering my pocket. Fast forward to this present day I got a white collar job that has a promising future which I started last month. Moral of the lesson get up and start doing something; stop laying around thinking a miracle will happen. The skills you learn on the street might be the one that will open opportunities for you just as it worked for me. Note: I graduated with a 3rd class in Mechanical Engineering and still got gainfully employed less than a year after NYSC. 156 Likes 19 Shares |

benedima1990: Don't be ashamed bro. At least you are man to admit and appreciate it. Just be glad your mom supports you and ensure that you respect and love her and your problems will eventually become a thing of the past. Then you will be able to pay her back 24 Likes 1 Share |

Well, I will say arrogance and pride is the main cause of unemployment. Better to be under employed than being unemployed. What stops a graduate from teaching in primary school/Learning handwork like Tailoring, Shoe making,Mexhanic/Recharge card business/Transport Biz etc 9 Likes 1 Share |
