A young Nigerian graduate has shared an emotional account of his journey back to his village after struggling to secure employment in the city due to lack of work experience.
He said
“If my community people have their way, they would have b@n¿shed me from the village. And the only off£n¢e I committed was being a graduate who came back to the village to build his life, starting with farming and starting afresh.I applied for so many jobs in the city before March, 2026, before I came back. But everything, everyone kept asking for, is experience. Well, if you don’t give me the job, how would I have experience?
That is it. So I came back to start farming, and April 25th, the pressure of being a graduate and farming in the village got intense, that it pushes me to ask one of my brother in Lagos if I can get any job that would make me leave this village and come to the city and start working.But he’s staying with somebody and he doesn’t have a place to stay. So he says he’s going to look for that kind of job. And then that same day, I messaged another of my friend in Ogun State, if there is any job at all that can make me leave this village.
And he said he was going to look into that, that he has a friend that he needs to ask.Then I started farming, I still kept farming, but I was going there d£pr£ss£d, fr¥str@t£d, and not happy. Only for me to just make one video about it, post it on Instagram, and I got the whole courage to continue what I am doing.And guess what? I’m going to diversify, and I’m going to build something unimaginable from this farm. The whole of this land is mine. Back there, there is a river that passes by. So this is me building and no more hiding. I’m currently in the farm.”
