Life in Ibadan with no Job

So many of my friends are aware that I resigned from my job in Lagos. After wedding plans and all, a sister was left high and dry. I had already started applying for jobs in Ibadan before I resigned but as we all know, there are fewer job opportunities here. My lovely ex-colleagues and friends occasionally send me job ads; Ifunanya, Aunty Funmi, Dapo and Chidinma Oraemesi if you're reading this, I LOVE YOU GUYS. 


Now let's talk about the sitting at home everyday. At first it was fun; wake up in the morning, prepare breakfast, husband goes to work, i'll sit in front of the TV, watch funny programs and laugh my heart out and even make videos to post on my Whatsapp Status...some of you can testify.

(By the way guys I sell perfumes, long-lasting fragrances. Please check out my page on instagram: @chims_perfumery)



Perfumes ranging from 3ml to 30ml

I was enjoying the sitting at home at first because my last job was very stressful and tasking so I kept telling myself that i needed the rest until.....I BECAME BORED. I started to google skills that I could learn from home that will not necessary require spending money. I learned Resume Building, although I did not think that many people will require my services. To my surprise when I advertised my newly acquired skill, a lot of people patronized me. Of course I did some pro Bono. My perfume business was still bringing in money in trickles.....lol.

How am I coping with the yoruba speaking here? Contrary to popular opinion, I DO UNDERSTAND a bit of yoruba.....but I DO NOT LIKE the fact that everyone here just tries to shove it down my throat. So i decided to be greeting them EKAARO morning, afternoon and night. Don't mind me....

I'm still applying for jobs. I even got invited for an interview that I was told to come wearing a touch of Green...LWKMD...na Usher job I wan do? Nwa Mazi has suffered sha.
