For me, I concluded my schooling (Caritas Private University) and service when i was 22 years. I stayed with my widowed mother till i became 24. That 2 years was full time war because I battled within myself over my non- educated friends that are mostly into tanker and Container motor drivers flourishing while me that much is expected from had nothing but "thank you" whenever i finish eating my mums food ( not jealousy though)


Mid of my 24 years, i moved in to stay with my sister in Enugu. Away from home, i was more free to engage my self no matter how humiliating the work look.

I started with Teaching. I was paid 15k per month, after 5 or 6 months of saving, i rented my own apartment, Used the remaining money to buy rice, tomato paste and beans in large quantities. I made good savings before the year ran out.


The next year, i opened a phone charging place and employed a girl while I was still teaching . Money started flowing in small small. I had about 300k few months later so, I opened Firstmonie outlet.

I started massive saving. I was targeting to open an iron company where i will sell building materials last 2 years, but the required capital is too much so, I went into rice.

I am Thankful to God for where i am today.

You can still make it if you don't have a job. Just start as small as possible.

Move away from home and squat with your sibling or good friend if you are too ashamed or not free to engage yourself.

My secrets.

1. I did buy my foodstuffs and other essential things in heavy quantities so as i can make huge saving.

2. I lived in a cheap 1 room apartment that won't stress my savings.

3. I never presented myself as a savior, neither did i lived a fake life in front of my Girlfriend. In fact, i never spent much on her.

4. I gave myself yearly target and, I also gave myself enough time to achieve it.

5. I became very very afraid of poverty and dependence on people, so I fought and still fighting against it.

On my way and i know i will be there someday , I will get my nysc certi on d 29 of this month. I have a business presently, i stay alone and am planning saving big and probably invest in other businesses. So help me God amen

My story is very annoying sha.
I left secondary school while I was 17, got admission into a private uni but couldn't continue because of the way the school treat students, there is no respect for the students. and I'm not the kind of person who fancy a secondary boarding school kinda settings and my course was not accredited in that same school, after spending few years there, I thought its not worth the stress so I left and went to a state school and studied a five year course, I was suppose to graduate last year but then because of ASUU, I graduated January this year, I decided to forget my certificate though I had a good grade but I wanted a different life that is not about certificate and then coronavirus came and time deh tick, age deh go. I was never at home Jobless but when I look back, most part of my life after secondary school was useless but whenever life gives me a reason to quit, I just can't give up, I have a feeling as long as I keep struggling to go higher, I may get to the top one day

I was last jobless at 19, since i got into business I've lived happily ever after, there's a sense of fulfillment that comes with being your own Boss!
Not without its numerous challenges tho!

Well I haven't made it yet, so I'll pass.


Unemployment is a biitchh though.

Start something now. Depression may hit you soon. Looking at your school mate and age mate flourishing while you are koboless can cause depression

At least you are smart enough to know that NYSC is not a time to flex but a time to get ready for the storms and blessings to come.

Apply wisdom and God will bless you.

You will get to the top one day. Just be stable in whatever you do henceforth. One step at a time is the best way to go

what am interested to also

Finished secondary education at 16, I enrolled myself in computer stuff for 9months.
I engaged as a typist, secretary, Computer teacher and other menial jobs for 4 years till I gained admission.

I was planning to sustain this business in school till the devil took over. Am hoping God will restore those glorious day where I don't beg or depend on anyone for money.
Computer programming is the next call of duty

After my Nysc @ 25, when there was nothing for about 2years, I decided to squat with a friend then I started online business, UK used laptops to be precise.... To God be the glory

good thread

I have quite an interesting story. I wasted some years at home as a medical graduate looking for an internship placement. What I did next was to learn how to flash phones and computers and made a good living out of it. Till I finally got a placement and then a job subsequently.

Frankly, I made a lot of money then as so many people are there who needs one or two stuffs to be done on their phones or computers.

Sometimes sef, I dey reason sey this job na scam.

Anyway, we thank Oluwa for all the years of learning and earning.

The sky's the limit.

I'll think about it
