There's a saying that where there's a will, there's a way, this particular phrase have been my watch dog ever since I realized that I have come of age and I am on my own now.

I will start with my last days in school,you know as a final year student,you will soon be out of school and this implies that you won't be getting those stipends you normally get from home and coupled with the situation of my country (Nigeria) being a graduate is never a yardstick to get a job. These were all that was going through my mind, finally I graduated and came back home.

But I refused to stay idle since I am on my own now and waiting for the government to provide a job will be like waiting till eternity.

When I came back from school,I was staying with my brother unlike when I was in school,I stayed alone and u know how it feels staying with someone. No matter how close you both are, there are things you would want to do alone, many of you will attest to these.

I said to myself, before March 2024 I must get an apartment for myself since I graduated February 2023, a year is enough for me to do this, though it's not going to be easy but I am going to do it anyway.

Working for my money

Firstly,I worked with a furniture company where I was earning 30 thousand naira but due transportation fare I had to work for just three months, I only saved my life from the work. Now I had to collaborate with my brother since I had an idea in barbing,we worked together and I was able to save something but the work didn't last long,we had to close down the shop because of low turnout of customers.

God being so kind, as a shoe manufacturer which is a skill I learnt while schooling, December was a breakthrough for me,I made some pairs of ladies heels as sample and the outcome surprised me. Many people requested that I make for them. I made a lot of money from it which I also saved bearing in mind what I said I would do the coming year. Though it wasn't all that Rosy for me,I had to starve most times, sometimes when I was working with that furniture company,I had to trek some distance in other to cut the amount I will be paying for transportation.

Fast forward to January 2024,I said to myself,you need another place to work. I stood up one morning went out to search for where I will work as a barber,the first place I stepped my feet,I was employed to work. I saved some money from there which I added to my previous savings,boom I went for my own apartment. To me, this is a dream come true which I will forever cherish and I believe this is just a tip of the iceberg. Good things come to those who wait,I love privacy so much hence I needed the house.
