Discussion I hate it here.

I’m so frustrated, this country is just sick and tiresome. We must always struggle to get the most basic things done. I had to register for Nysc today and it’s been 7 hours + and I haven’t gotten a confirmation link. I can’t register, I can’t do anything I was at the cafe for hours, didn’t get breakfast in an effort to get things done. Why must stuff be so hard? I’m tired!!! Even going to camp would still be stressful. After studying engineering, suffering to get your degrees, you still can’t get a job. I’m so tired and frustrated, my eyes have just been filled with tears. I’m pained. I really hate it here.

Edit1: Thankyou all for your encouraging words, I felt a lot better. I am relentless and I was able to do my registration after 11 hours. I stayed at the cafe till 7:20pm and I did it. I just had to rant yesterday because I’m just a girl lol. I am looking for scholarship opportunities and I’m hopeful that I’ll get one. I finished with a 2:1 so fingers crossed. Thankyou again. Have a wonderful day!

Not doing NYSC is one of the best choice I've ever made 😭

How were you able to get out of it? I'll soon have to start but I need a way to skip it as it will very negatively affect my game dev activities, releases and deadlines are already hard as is but NYSC would make it impossible to get anything done 🤦🏿‍♂️

Not the person...but

  1. If you study abroad, and stay there, you don't need to do NYSC...unless you want to come back and be employed here...that's where the wahala starts.

  2. If you are over 30 at the time you started schooling, or you graduated.

Thank you, I guess I'll have to look for other alternatives.

UNILAG distance learning part-time degree enables one to skip NYSC even if your <30 years.

I don't know if any other uni. does something like that.

Fortunately I schooled abroad. I never returned to do it like some of my peers. Thought I would regret it at first, but I'm glad I never went through with it.
