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. I have trekked from woji to Uniport in choba..

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.

From Egbeda to Sango in the year 1996 in Lagos. In fact, all over Lagos. That contributed to what made me know Lagos this much.

I have left Lagos now for over 14 years but I can close my eyes and tell you major bustops if the need arises. I mean almost every part of Lagos. Lol.

Bro I walked the whole of lagos consistently for two months in search of a job, I filled and submitted over 150 applications only to get unsuccessful replies over and over again. I was without reasonable job for 7years after my graduation. And finally, I got an opportunity to move to the UK and that was it. As I speak to you rightnow I have never regretted my action of coming over here, and unlike nigeria, as far as you are hardworking you’ll definitely make it here. I can guarantee you that. That’s why I don’t pay attention to anyone trying to condemn the japa people.
Person wey no know your story or wey never dey your shoes before no fit understand your struggle. My only advise is “Don’t Just Give Up”.
