The Lady (Pictured) has been trending on social media after she shared pictures of herself taking to the streets of Port Harcourt to demand for a Job. Her story was broadcasted via various media outlets and she has now given an update, explaining the reasons that pushed her to be more creative in her search for employment. What she wrote after the cut...
"BBC, The Cable, and others too numerous to mention have called to know more about my story and to get an exclusive interview. Nigeria!! it has to get to this. We have to air our dirty laundry for the whole world. I went to uniport they sent me back, I went to ust, they said who do u know?, I went to college of arts and science, they threw my application out. I went to different schools they said they will pay me 10k with my masters and my transportation monthly is more than that.
I have seen the comments, people telling me to acquire a skill, thank you.. I know you mean well but I did not decide to get a Masters degree to drop it and start making beads or sewing clothes. If we all acquire skills who will patronise who? who will teach our children? why don't we tell lawyers or doctors to pick up a skill when dey don't get jobs Everyone has a dream, has a passion, has their calling. My drive, my passion, my love is for lecturing. I can decide to do something and fail woefully cause that's not where I belong, please I am not looking for money, Some people said I am calling Buhari to give me NNpc job... If I am offered that I will turn it down! I have a focus! I know what I want. Go and tell my Governor that I am waiting for him, I voted for him, I am tired of staying at home, I want the job he promised us. I will be going to the government house tomorrow with my placard and I will invite different newsrooms. Governor Nyesom Wike!! Give me work! I want to lecture! I don't need big salary. . 80k is ok for me. Buhari you are my President I am waiting for you. # Desperatetime"
