Why is life so difficult that we tend not to know, how, what to do in order to prevail over unwanted circumstances! why do evils happen? why do we have to go without meat and curse the bread? why is it difficult to make it even after much work displayed? why do we have to work unceasing, but only to go home without a penny? Why are we constantly in a state of struggle and fear of losing everything even when in reality we don't have anything? why do we have to keep battling to keep our heads above water? And, why oh why does it always seem like bad things continue to happen over and over again? why do bad things have to happen to good people?
i have a friend he was good to me when we were in university, and maybe everybody else, but what i do know is that he was so good to me. when i got admission i didn't have money to money support myself and get the basic requirement then, he surely stood by me, gave me the support i never would have expected from a fellow student.
Recently, he is going through the trauma of getting a job to keep himself together. not that i have a permanent myself, but i can still put a portion of food on my table which i believe is the basic need of life as well as a shelter over my head.
Last year June, when we return from service; a year program which we call service to fatherland, where we were made to see and work together with other graduates of different tribes as Nigeria has many cultures in diversity, for the betterment of the nation through the scheme. we got home safe and sound, all thanks to God, one would say! Since then we have been pursuing Job, that is how the system of Education is made in my country. we are now left with 5 thousand jobs opportunity to one million graduates. Surprise, the reason for this is not far fetched, we are not an employer of labor, but rather being made to be employed by an organization and institution which is relatively small compared to the number of job seekers
We are left with no option than to acquire a skill, not just any kind of skill, but a paying one as we are not getting younger again. After getting tired of pursuing a job, he went ahead to learn a tiling, as this was going on he never quit submitting his C.V to different organizations, hoping to be called for an interview, but all effort to get happened has turned to a plume of smoke. I did try to help him in a way that i could, but that can't keep a grown-up man.
I was happy when i received his call last year December, that he should start work this January in one organization, they are into processing and distribution of palm kernel. He has been working with them long before we went for service, but not as permanent staff, just a casual worker. Before this period, he had received a new that his mom was sick in the village, though he wasn't the only child of his parent, yet he must contribute his own quarter even if he didn't have money, courtesy demands that he went to see his mother. Just this morning, i received a call from him on the phone that the company that asked him to resume this month would be going through rehabilitation of sort, for a period of six months or more. the question now is what will he be doing and how does one survive this kind of situation?
I also have my own challenges as well,having to cater for my brother who just got admission, task I believe meant for a parent, but I have to do what i can right!
