BSc holder shares job hunting experience
Despite this, he mentioned that the situation has left him broken inside as he is yet to find a decent job, and the amount he was recently offered by one of the places he applied to broke him even more.
In the TikTok post he shared:
"For the past 6 months, I’ve been going from one office to another with my CV, attending interviews, paying transport, dressing up with hope every single morning… only to hear things that break me inside.
"Some places offered me ₦20k salary as a BSc holder in 2026. Some jobs didn’t even match my values or what I studied for."
"Yet I still smiled and said ‘thank you’ because I’m trying to survive honestly. People think graduates are lazy, but many of us are tired, discouraged, and silently fighting battles nobody sees. Imagine spending years in school, graduating with dreams, only to start begging for opportunities."

@tymelody_ spoke further in the post about how the situation made him feel, saying there are days he thinks deeply about his situation, but he has not given up, while announcing online that he needs a genuine job opportunity.
He continued:
"There are days I get home and just sit quietly thinking about my life and future. But I haven’t given up. I still believe God can use one person, one connection, one repost, or one opportunity to change my story."
"I’m not asking for pity. I just need a genuine job opportunity where I can work, grow, and build my life with dignity. 🙏❤️."
