I love the way you composed this write-up though, ever thought of writing as a job?

robertmugabe:


Well, you may call them low life in your own narrow way of reasoning but in far broad societal expectations, they are far from what you call them until the time of consequences of their actions, if at all there will be. Baba it is not in my nature to compare my self but at some point of protracted hopelessness, you spontaneously find your self in d habit of putting your life in retrospective assessment and measure against the societal expectations and those things you see all arround...

PLEASE make money regardless of how it comes.
No one cares how you make money, just be rich.

LOL.... Societal expectations you say, NOBODY CARES . The same society would be the ones to put a tyre on your neck and set you ablaze when the going gets tough. This path you are aiming for, it will not end well for you. There are people sleeping under the bridge, people selling on the streets, doing every menial job possible so as to be able to provide for their upkeep or you think they don't know where they can get guns to Rob or do ritual? There is no quick money anywhere, you should be willing to sacrifice something if you choose to follow that path, your so called friends will not tell you until its too late to turn around. Be smart!

Pls permit me to post this piece here as it seems not to be compatible with all the sessions available...

I will be brief as much as possible...

I am typing in disdain and gross depression. I am 32 years old. I finished from a university in the year 2012. As it is always of any person living in the glory and self-simulated value of finishing with good grade and from one of the leading universities in Nigeria, one would, of course, erroneously expected to retire from the academic environment, to a cushy labour market environment. Far from what I confidently pictured while in school, it is 6 years now and still counting, of active service in the labor market in search of deserving job. From the beginning of post-university time, many of my friends picked up YAHOO instead of wasting their time in d tensed labor market while some newly opted for it along the line of their hopelessness in the labor market. I was invited but I took my uncompromising stance. So far, I have tried to upgrade my self sha with professional exams but yet not materialising.

Behold, my friends are now juicily successful in their fraudline path. Even if I get good work today, it may take me 15 years of conservative savings before matching their lofty height of success. Almost all of them are now married, have an obviously paying businesses and of course, possess what it takes to earn Daddy status in their respective environment. While me no even get an apartment of my own... Ah still they live with my brother who is already married.

I am aware of how they make their money through compromising gmail, but I was hellbent even though the cross breeds of alerts on their respective phones is always intimidating. Even, sometimes, they did engage my service of writing an official and professionally worded statements meant to be furnished to their clients.

Funniest thing and not unexpected anyway, some of them are now stylishly cutting me off. Because I am presently far below their current social status and probably because I seems to them not to be a serious type or seems to them to be a coward.

For days now, I have been contemplating compromise and it's appearing to me that it is getting too late to be an upright man.

Dear Nairalanders, pls have you ever been in this situation and how did you overcome the thought of such compromise ?

Bro, don't do it. I repeat, do not do it.
Believe that your time will come. Every man's timing is not the same and can never be.

For a minute, put yourself in Invictus Obi's shoe. Guy made money, appeared on Forbes list....Where is he today?

I know a bro who was broke at 35. He was deported penniless. Mom sent this guy 10K from time to time just to survive. Three years later, guy is earning a 6 digit salary and is balling.

I think you should figure a way to improve yourself and make yourself marketable. You should also consider skills as nothing beats skills. Do not just live hoping for something good to come your way, improve and arm yourself to attract what you truly deserve!

Bro
If truly they are your friends they should be able to give you a soft loan to start a business.
If they can't then they are truly not your friends....
What you should do is to get close to family and your true friends making money legitimately for assistance write your business plan and mail all of them and if nothing comes out baba join them make small change invest it....
Pls if you join them and make small money hopping you don't get caught in the process cut them all off.....
God help you sometimes in life you need to dance with the pigs in the mod to cool off.

Apination:

Ewu! Hope you go follow them die their die when the time reach. Just imagine the low lives you are using to compare yourself, instead of you to focus and build your life, you are moving around with nonentities. You call them friends but they won't help you unless you join them, what a pity that at 32 you are still useless. This life is a race, run your own, do not allow greed for unsustainable wealth to blind you and Rob you of your peace and happiness. 2020 is the year, work hard and be content, when the time is right God will provide beyond your expectations.

TheGoodJoe:
You are not alone on this ship. Worst part is when you see people who do worse succeeding.

Maman J. Vasta who was the good friend got killed by his best friend who became one of the richest Nigerians, Babangida and still alive today.

We have seen corrupt government officials siphon Billions of Naira and send their kids to some of the best schools in the World, set up luxurious assets and hand to their kids. While the kids of innocent and hardworking folks struggle to survive.

At the end, you decide what you want. Thinking about it means you are considering it. However, you need to look harder around you and find hustles that will pay you. You might not get to their level but you can have a simple nice life.

At the end, we will not go to the grave with all the luxury. Let it pass. Give your hustle the best shot. Reinvest in it and grow. There are numerous things to do. Just pick one, focus on it and grow slowly.

At the end, not all of us are built to live on the fast lane.

Viking007:
Sometimes I begin to doubt karma exists. I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that karma is just another 'feel good' pill for the poor.

TheGoodJoe:


Like seriously. When I look at the racket/G Boys of the past. Like Obasanjo, Atiku and Tinubu, still waxing strong and having all the girls it makes me wonder.

I have a very frightening theory. If you hear it... Let me stop there.

Either way, I believe good still wins but it takes patience, perseverance and sacrifice.

robertmugabe:


This form part of my mentality also bro...but these guys keep winning back to back

Viking007:
The only thing keeping some of us on the good lane is our conscience.
