Guys, I don't even know where to begin this but i will, somewhere. Truth is, I am tired. I am depressed and something is telling me to end myself.

You ever been in a situation where the whole family spends a lot of money, trains you in school, and expect that you get a good job after and reciprocate their good gestures? That's my position right now. But unfortunately, I have not been a able to.

I am a young man; early twenties, finished school quite early and really smart (that's what people say.) Ever since I finished the University guys, I have been struggling to get a job, but nothing to show. I am really tired of staying at home here. The whole community knows that I have completed my university education and fact is, they are already mocking my family behind our backs. They are not even hiding it anymore. They laugh at me when I pass by too.

What broke the camel's back today was:
I applied for a job with a very big company in Lagos. Myself and family already thrown ourselves into positive expectations. I had sold all my hope into it, thinking something good will come out. I went for the test and was sure I did well. Me and my family even prayed over it. Well, the result came out today and I failed.

Guys, may be God doesn't hear prayers like people claim, or maybe he doesn't just hear mine.

My dad's dead and my mum has been bearing the burden alone.

Tonight, I saw my mum's face clearly again and sincerely, this woman is aging fast. She deserves a better life than she is getting and sadly, I cannot come through for her. I'm loosing it guys. I am going insaneeeee!

STOP!

How do yhu think yhur mom will feel if yhu leave her..... please don't stop fighting yhur breakthrough is around the corner...

With God nothing is impossible....if yhu need someone to talk to I'm here...

Oboy,I almost shed tears......

But all I have to tell you op is that-"don't give up man".... Don't ever tryna give up....Via say na who give up on life nai lose........

My brothers and i had a similar discourse today....we were like-"how many years person go stay for this life when him go take suffer suffer so Tay him go cor die".....

And guess what,I've got to realise that so long you ain't gonna give up,and keep on striving hard,one day one day,you go get above any kind situation wey you dey today...

Do you think getting tired or giving up will make you a better candidate for a job?

I have been in your shoes and I know exactly how you feel.

Times are hard all over the world but you don't need to give up.

I have failed many times myself, for years. Infact I am still failing but I will never stop fighting.

You need to try a smaller job -gain experience for a few months and then apply for a bigger job sometimes because most employers want experience.

Wish you the best.

Time for you people to sell some of your land
But if you really wanna end it , journey well
I have no remorse for people like you
Silver spoon ko , wooden spoon ni
When you have something better to say quote me

op, do you think you are the only one facing this challenges in the world. the problem with the op is that you are more concerned about what people say regarding you. the truth is the world (people) will never help even if they are in the position to do so rather help yourself by starting small, who know you might people who can help

Man,you better pray you should never find yourself in a similar predicament

Simply because you were born with a silver spoon doesn't mean that those who were born with wooden spoons are lazy....

Life of a man no easy oooo especially for those wey there papa no get enough...

Our only joy lies in seeing our MOMMA happy..

God Help Us....

Guy una no get landed property or what

OP, this country no easy again. 50% of our graduates are not employed. Education is no longer a guarantee for a bright future.

The only constant thing in life is change

If you end your life and give up, won't that bring even much more pain for your mum.

Start by paying less attention to what people talk or say bout you.Don't ask, don't care, simply do you..Maybe the big jobs you anticipated aren't forth coming,apply for the small ones even if it's 30k per month,do it for the sake of your mom and support her whilst applying for the big jobs.


Pray more and this time with just a little more faith..No matter what never give up, someone is having it much more difficult somewhere.Atleast you've got an education,some people were never opportuned.Count your blessings

Sometimes I love hard truth like you wrote.

The world is a harsh place to live for a majority, you need to fight for the life that you want.

Problem no dey finish

Hold. On bro,

Guy you just have to shake it off that is not the end you can start a volunteering job or move a little bit away from your area and if you can see any car wash business start from there and keep praying do not loose hope.

What do you think is the solution to this your dilemma

OP all of us get our own problems and we are just managing it....


Having a job is something most people make silly selection over....



There are jobs out there....You just want something big....


If you can start from something small,... please do...While you are at it....You can make high targets and just maybe, things will fall into places..

But you can't be at home and be throwing shots at big companies just so you'd be able to impress your family and your village people...

@op my advice for you is to change location or throw away pride and do anything your hand findeth to do,why you are still with your mum,from doing that little things,you will definitely meet someone that will hold your hands to better place and also blend with other hustlers around, the sky is your starting point.

Go and get a skill or drive on Uber or bolt. Stop wasting your time on job. You will end up being frustrated

Pls don't give up bro. My brother and I are going through the same shit at the moment. We have masters degree bt with less paying job and we don't care about what pple say. We sha gonna rough am through with legit hustle. While applying for jobs, don't mind the pay just get the experience and later go for a bigger Ones. Best of luck to us all.

Some people are in their late thirties and still in ur shoes nd are yet to give up. Forget about what people are saying behind you. Your miracle is by the corner be optimistic at all times, reject depression,encourage urslf, ur mom and filll ur surroundings with atmosphere of worship be Thnk full to God always for he has done it already. I guess u will also have to change ur circle of frnds as well.. I have alot to say to u but I don't have the strength for much talk. Where do u worship by the way?

OP, you sound unexposed!

Secondly, you're not smart.

Smartness is not by graduating earlier than your mates, nor is smartness cramming facts and figures you'll never use in the real world.

I gotta be honest with you, I graduated with a poor result. Not because I wasn't intelligent, but rather I never allowed echo took all my time.

With just my mobile phone, I was able to amass lots of cutting edge skills on YouTube that still make me money till this day.

You should be able to employ yourself, especially when there is no available job. There have to be some sort of ways you can apply your course into something and make money.

It could be a simple thing like opening a YouTube channel, or even running a blog, or creating an app.

The future now is AI, and yet many of you lots don't want to put interest.

At this age, you don't need to be employed to earn a living. Employ yourself!

What is that skill that you have? Monetize it!

Don't waste your life, after all, we'll all die one day. Why be in a haste?

But if the pain is too much a burden, you have the right to end your life.

It's your pain, your life, you can decide whatever you want.

But I hope you don't, for the sake of your mother.

That's emotional blackmail though, but still consider it.

Good luck!

Reduce your emotional stress, try and take everything you are doing one at a step, have enough time to rest, find out what makes you to stress much, make out schedules for everything you want to do and don't let them clash, don't use the time of another schedule to resolve the one you missed. Reschedule, Visit friends and share views together these will help keep depression away from you.

Nice and great write, but my brother most times its not that people lacked skill and aren't exposed. Its more complex and complicated and early failures in life is a necessary requirement for certain levels of results. Lols, you would be tempted to argue this point but don't pls, e get why.

OP, this country no easy again. 50% of our graduates are not employed. Education is no longer a guarantee for a bright future.
