I don't know the situation in your country, but right here in Nigeria, what i see and hear on every media is no job, poverty, no money and true love being discarded and the ones will the big pockets being embraced.
I see a lot of guys not holding their relationship solid because they got no paper and i see mkney and provision becoming thr symbol of trust.

Everyone is after security, of property, life, love and in one way or the other, it seems like an endless fight because there is not enough.
somehow, love fades out when the only thing available is potentials.

Our country is rich. Naija is super blessed.
But maybe we dont just know how to tap it or because we are all headed in one direction and neglecting other means,
.

In the past one month, I've met more than 10 people who have said there is no way to make legit money in this country. And this isn't coming from lazy peopele, this was from intelligent graduates, who have spent atleast 3 years searching for job.

The yahoo boys as they are called or fraudsters, dont make it even easier, they flaunt their riches and its depressing when you see your mates doing big and you just dont have a thousand to your name.

i don't know exactly how to get you our of this rat race, i dont even have job to give. Am also a jib seeker.
But what i know is this, don't say what others are saying, don't believe what they believe, dont let social media feed you with what to believe.

No matter how little its paying, find something, a means or something. Even if you are professional about steemit and stay 7-4 on it daiky, in a month, it might change something.

I don't have the perfect plan, but getting a means and then uodate your financial sense is going to help alot.
Keep applying to those jobs. I saw a post one time on quora i think, the lady made a goal to recieve about 2k rejections and she kept applying. She was getting the Nos, but got more Yes.

Don't sit down doing nothing!
Dont blame the government!
Dont blame the economy!
Don't compare yourselves with others.

I can't say enough, i just want to say to someone who is about giving up and doing it the wrong way, i don't know when your break will come but staying true to what you love, seeking opportunities and updating your financial sense, it will birth your dreams.

I see Nigeria gradually moving into a time, where people-created businesses and jobs will triple those created by government, and only times like this will help unleash the next generation millionaires.

More first class are produced yearly, more undergraduates are admitted yearly, tell me, where the jobs at?

The company that employs you as a marketer, they don't equip you with anything different other than a platform. You can become freelance marketer or market your own services.
Social media these days can get you anything.

Most times, the problem people have is fear of starting out.
But i believe the fear is cancelled out if you have someone who holds your hands and wants to start with you.
Find your team, find your people. People who push for the future, not people who look forward to breaks and time offs.
People who wiuld work through till they break through!

If your dreams are worth dreaming, they are worth sweating for.
Dont give up! Do it right!
