Every day, I see people rushing out by 5AM, struggling through traffic, working long hours, and still barely surviving by the end of the month.
Some are job hunting endlessly — submitting CVs like lottery tickets — yet no response, no opportunities.
Those who are “lucky” to get a job are being paid ₦40k to ₦70k monthly, with responsibilities that drain their health and peace of mind.
This wasn’t the plan.
We were told: “Go to school, get good grades, and everything will fall into place.” But now, many of us are waking up to the harsh reality that the system is broken — and no one is coming to fix it for us.
What hurts more is that a lot of people are silently struggling. Smiling at work. Dressed up every day. But deep down, they are tired, burnt out, and unsure of the next move.
The truth is: waiting on Nigeria alone is no longer a survival plan.
I’m not here to motivate or sell anything. I’m just saying — if you’ve been feeling stuck, confused, or underpaid… you’re not alone.
I had to start looking for alternative ways to earn something decent on the side. Quietly. No noise. Because hoping for change without taking action is a dangerous trap.
Anyone else feeling the same the way??
