I HAVE TO HELP MYSELF
~0.9 mins read
The major challenge I have on this job is people thinking I cannot give them what they want. Some persons will even go as far as looking for fault where there is none just to prove that I didn't do it well and my boss would have done it better. The worst part is when a customer gets his job, sees a fault and immediately assumes I had done the job. It is not all bad though. There are some customers I have proven my skills to and they have come to trust me and even recommend me to friends.

I learnt this skill because I was bored from staying at home for a long time due to strike. I didn't even take it seriously then but when I did my first job for sale and got compliments, I started putting in more effort. I am still learning and I keep improving. It's been two years since I started and whenever I am going on break, I devote my full time to it. Like now that we are on strike and I'm back home, I come here everyday and I have been making some money. By the time school resumes, I would have saved up money to support myself in addition to what my parents would give me.

WHEN LIFE HITS YOU
~1.4 mins read
"My brother had served his boss for 7 years and was due for settlement, but his boss kept telling him to be patient.
In the 8th year, my brother could not wait any longer as nothing much was coming from working for his boss and he needed to start off on his own.
What he had learnt was heavy duty truck driving. His plan was to work for others till he can save up to get his own truck.
He got a place, told his boss, and left. The boss wasn't happy with him, but he couldn't make him stay either. He promised to settle my brother when he has money.
A month after my brother got the job, he returned from a trip one day, parked, returned the keys as usual, and went home.
The next morning, he got to the office to hear that the truck was stolen. He was arrested with two others. Though they eventually released the other two persons, my brother has been in detention since then. He was later moved to the prison and has been there for over two years now.
We do not have money for any case. We have sold everything we have to get a lawyer, but nothing has come out of it. He is in Lagos and I haven't gone there to visit because I can't afford it.
Any money I raise from my business goes to the lawyer.We heard it was his former boss that planned everything to make him a scapegoat, but we cannot prove that.
I just pray that someday, the truth will come out and my brother will be set free. "
