Job Wahala For Naija

Before now, I didn't really agree completely with people who said there is no job in Naija until now. I had always called home whenever I needed a few bucks and I had believed and still believe that I would definetely get a wonderful job as soon as I finish my program in school. But things are different now.

Some of you might have wondered where I have been for over a year.
Hmmm... That one na long story, school has got a truck load of stress. That same school has sent me back here again on my blog. I'm currently on Industrial Training (I.T.) Like I said earlier, I never knew that getting a job (even once as small as a place for my I.T) would be that difficult.

So, yesterday I dressed up looking sharp. I wore a confirm "bling bling" trouser and a foreign shirt to match (I don't even know the name of the designer, lol). My shoes were carefully polished, one would have thought that it was a mirror because it was shining like black crystals. I didn't forget to wear my socks this time.

If I'm not wrong, I spent quite a number of minutes of my hairs. I applied different hair creams on it just to make it cool. My face was smooth like a normal "fine boy" that I am, but sha, I had to add extra powder.

With a few accessories and my wallet at my back pocket, not forgetting my phone and ear piece, I marched out of the house.

The long and short of it all was that I trekked like a mad man through the streets of Ikeja like never before. You can never really appreaciate the importance of a cold ten naira pure water until the faithful Sun shines madly on you.

The companies I visited were not even encouraging. The confusion I was thrown in made me use a wrong pin on my ATM card and it got blocked. Had it been God wasn't faithful, hmmm...make I no talk.

By the time I got home, my powdered face had changed into a pool of sweat. Even the shoe wasn't as black as it was when I left home. That was when I realised that your dress code won't guarantee you a job in Naija

It's well sha... The job hunt will continue tomorrow, perhaps another location.
