Ayomide11111: Security guards are not USUALLY RESPECTED anywhere in the whole world,it is now left for you to carve a niche for yourself and display a rare sense of professionalism. It is then that people will respect you, people take note of the Security guards behavior when they go places, unfortunately the behavior of security guards in Nigeria is not different from that of a begger. When they are not begging they want to exert their authority over people in other to gain some form of recognition or Respect. All you need is to do your job dedicatedly and be as professional as you can,your training manual comes in handy to guide you. I was once a security guard and it's a career that I enjoyed so much,that informed my decision to take another certification in Criminology and Security,all through my day's (2yrs) as security Guards,I can't remember a day someone walk up to me to disrespect me verbally,my carriage won't let them. 4 Likes |

Babatunde40:this is true, most of security guards that I have met are arrogant and rude fools. Unethical from every angle and when people are not disciplined in what they say, the security men get annihilated with insults. |

Someone with big dreams will have self esteem issues just like the OP. You think its easy for a person to go thru sch in Nigeria and end up as security guard? How much does some of this security coy pays? Some of them pay a paltry 17k which is less than a monthly allowance of a corper. How will someone with such income buy food, cloth, soap and transport not to talk of saving to acquire skills. Very depressing I must say considering other factors like insults, risk and frustrations that comes with the job. 1 Like |

except you know what you doing, private security job will 1. frustrate your life 2. slowly waste your life. 3.kill your self esteem. 4. forget self development. 5. you will be permanently stagnant in life. with the above disadvantages clearly pointed out, lf you must do the job, have a target in mind, your whole heart should be on achieving your target (this helps you get through the day by day insults and demeaning nature of the job) if possible be on permanent night duty and use the day time to develop yourself. For graduates doing this job, let your style speak for you. when I was in service (guard job) lolz, I make sure I don't speak bad/pidgin English to strangers, I look at people straight in the eye and speak firmly, I bought and sew my uniform myself including my boots, starched, ironed and permanently clean ( get 2 or 3 pairs) someone saw me stand out, and referred me to someone else who got me my present job, am not "there" yet but I understand what private security guards go through. 2 Likes |

Sorry for feeling that way. It's in ur hands to make ur life better. Also work on your self esteem. The uniform you wear as a guard doesn't define you or your future. We are all just different. I personally make friends with every kind of worker and even ask their names. No human being is lesser than the other, some privileges only place some people at better places. 2 Likes |

When I tell people I got to where I was from 10k monthly, they think am one of those motivational speakers. Life has its ups and downs and when you decide to swim out of these issues then you start making progress. I worked in a hotel years back as a waiter and had problem with a customer who poured his whole drink on me. To make issues worst, his stupid gf was even calling me names. When I met the stupid lady at an event after 8 years( I hardly forget the face of these type of people), she did not recognise me, I guess the cars and money changes someone greatly. NOTE: JUST KNOW THAT WHEN BILL GATES BECAME A BILLIONAIRE, JEFF BEZOS WAS NOWHERE NEAR HIM BUT NOW BEZOS IS JUST WAY OVER HIM. THEY WHO LAUGH AT YOU MAY ONE DAY BE THE ONES TO CAST FLOWERS AT YOUR FEET. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST AND THOSE YEARS LOST WOULD BE RESTORED 4 Likes |

Ayomide11111: 1stly there is smtn called stint or temporary job.. Many top celebrities especially abroad and in civil climes have all done it, from farming and carrying animal poo(Manure) to, serving in bars as bartenders, security guards, models etc they are stunt jobs and it doesn’t mean u won’t be better. 2. Why are u looking and bother about what people think about u. The main issues here is ur focus, ur plans, ur steps and actions and Sm good luck. If u make up ur mind to do anything have a plan and follow it through to the best of ur ability. Anything anybody else thinks or says about u is non off ur business Asfar as I’m concerned. Why do u care so much about what they think when u know it’s temporal and u have a good plan. Why did u take the job in the 1st place exactly? To get money and save or to get people hype u or congratulate u ![]() Now u want to quit ur job because nobody hype u. Ok.. u probably don’t know why u took this job and maybe ur at ur post forming big boy and trying to famze rather than focus and doing ur work so Ure feeling slighted people are not looking at ur fAce and ur grammar? I don’t think u are a focused person at all. Uve forgotten the purpose and reason u came to work. 1 Like |

[color=#006600][/color] gypsey: That's what most people don't understand. As I security personnel you must have self worth and dignity else people will insult you. Doing eyes service, begging and going for errands because of 200/500 naira change was a very big No No for me back then. I first gave myself some level of respect And dignity before expecting anyone else to respect me. Funny enough my self confidence and dignity is what attractted the person that gave me my first Big major opportunity that pave the way for who I am Today. 1 Like |

To be sincere you are not normal if you are a graduate and you accept 7000 monthly salary... You are a shame to your parents. Even your employee will doubt your degree. My guy if I'm your father I will disown you because I have wasted my money on you. Register as an agbero and make 5k daily. 5k x30 = 150k. Learn driving and earn 50-60k monthly. I'm paying my volunteers 40k monthly and they only go out 3times in a week. I started making money in secondary school just by repairing calculators for students and teachers, When I got to high institution, I repair and sell computers, write projects etc. I have never gone for any job interview and I will never. I look down on my lecturers then because I only measure success by how much cash in a man's bank account. Op quit that job now except if you are gaining some kind of knowledge with you employee. 2 Likes |

I have seen a civil servant advancing towards a business woman and she refused dating the man, the woman gave in for a bus driver...that time Abuja was doing well with Araba buses., some of the drivers makes nothing less than 15k daily. Do you know how much they pay a professional cleaner abroad? In those countries labour is accorded it's rightful position. 2 Likes |
