Looking For A Job?

While growing up we were told by our parents and teachers to study hard, get good grades, graduate well so we can get a good job... then what next? When I was in senior secondary school, I studied as hard as I could, I also supported it with prayers especially when I approached my final year. I realized quite early that I was on a collision course with WAEC and JAMB. Back then my greatest dream was to gain admission into university. I was sure that if I can achieve this dream, then my success in life was guaranteed. How wrong I was. It was after my NYSC that I realized that "Now My struggles Continues". 


I worked for a while and realized that a Job means "Journey Of the Broke" and the salary i'm being paid is "Something Always Low And Reduces You". I also found out that having a boss means i'm Busy Over Someones Success". How can I keep working hard for something I cant own. They say, if you can't build your dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs.



Sometime back, our President Goodluck Jonathan posted a comment on Facebook, he said, "let Nigerian youth and graduates go out there and look for something to do for themselves". As you expect, Nigerian youth bombarded him with curses and insults, blaming him for all their problems. The fact is that the president has said the painful truth. No government in the world can provide enough jobs for its youth, not to mention our country with its youth population over 60%. Our civil service has become a welfare package, too many ghost workers to pay. Our recurrent expenditure is too high compared to the capital expenditure. No country can develop like this!

I would like to advice job seekers to face their fears and come out of their comfort zones. You can achieve your dreams. You can attain financial freedom. Don't enslave yourself with a boss. You are better than that, God has destined you for greatness, don't disappoint God.
