Those who know Calabar know the distance I am talking about here.

I trekked all the way from Scanabo in 8 miles to UNICAL to submit my credentials to someone.

Life of an applicant is a painful life.

I don't know how many kilometers that would be but it's quite a long distance. Almost like trekking from one LGA to the other.

The distance I have covered trekking in search of work the last two weeks, if I sum together may cross one state into another.

It's not because I like trekking but because I may not have the transport fare and the cost of transportation now is very high.

It's a big burden on struggling Nigerians.

Sometimes you get caught by rain and your clothes get soaked. Hmmmm.

I'm right inside UNICAL now but warming up to make my return.

God help me through as I return.

If you have gotten a good job now, it's time to look back, thank God and calculate the journey

If you don't have transport, you must trek no matter the distance.
