A friend of mine who I did NYSC with was retained in the place he served. He was earning 120k as of 2009, I can say it's a good job. I stubbornly stayed back in that state after NYSC without a job. So I do see this friend often. Many times I tell him to remember me if any vacancy comes out in his place of work. Some times I had to beg him for money to eat... Atleast I can remember the last one he gave me N800 which I used to buy enough beans to cook and gari. Those days I just roam about the town, visit newspaper stand and read from morning till night.... Go for Immunization Monitoring exercise whenever it comes up... Just anything to give me kobo to eat. One day he told me that there is vacany for one small job, but even graduates do it. I don't mind any amount ọ, as far as it's job, mak I fit see food chop because hunger accompanied by death was staring at me. It happened that the job is to follow bus go hawk phones. The pay is N15000 per month(I had no problem with the amount), but the job is for School levers, even some that dropped out of secondary school. Chai! Me, https://t.co/wgKbPnOVhG. holder with 2.1 hawking phones... sometimes we drag with each other pursuing moving cars. The first time they gave me the phones, tears wan comot for my eyes... I can't speak Yoruba, how will I be able to sale? First day I couldn't sale anything, and the supervisor will be shouting at me... I thought, how will this my friend introduce me to this kind of job to mix with stark illiterates that will insult me atimes... After few days I decided to go and tell them that I won't be able to that job, but later gave it one more trial. As we went to one market, that day I sold upto 3, sold it more the price the company told us to sale, and made extra N200 gain x3= N600. I was so happy... From there morale come high, sometimes I topped the chart in a group of over 10 sellers. I was saving money on a daily after daily eating... So I didn't touch my salary. After about 3months, another contract job opportunity came for graduates in that same company, they took me, the pay was N150,000. I had to combine it with selling of phones as side hustle which I have learnt earlier... To cut the long story short about 2/3yrs after I built a house and got married even before that my friend. The company folded about 1yr after I joined, and everyone was layed off but I used the experience and training and extablished my phone business... Do not despise the days of little beginning.

I returned from church today and met my neighbor outside, seriously begging his girlfriend not to leave him. I moved closer and asked what the problem was. She said "I've been with him for 3 years and he has never worked. He's not helping at all." As a man, I pulled him aside. Turns out he's an engineering graduate. Graduated 3 years ago, completed his NYSC, but hasn't been able to secure a job. I collected his number, told him I'd get back to him, and convinced his girlfriend to give him a little more time. I reached out to a friend who manages a water factory. There was a vacant bagger position with daily pay of 5k to 10k depending on speed and strength. 5k daily is guaranteed, 5 days a week. That's between 100k to 150k monthly for a starter. I texted the young man with the offer. His response: "Guy, you don't get to reduce me to becoming a pure water bagger. I'm an engineering graduate. I can't accept a 200k job talk less of 100k." I tried to reason with him. He cut me off and said "Instead of doing a 100k job, I'd rather start yahoo." Me: 🤐 Above all, love God.
