I believe every Nigerian has used the phrase" I must make it in life" at one point or the other, this is so because the trials and tribulations that we human beings face in life can be caused by several factors such as money, health, background, education and so many more.
Situations like this, tend to put people in a tight spot and make them do things that are Unthinkable and dangerous. There are cases where people get intimidated especially by the rich or individuals who live their lives in a flamboyant manner especially on social media, in the course of copying them and engaging in dangerous activities just to make the money, they end up being victims of circumstances.
I have been a victim of not being able to achieve success because of lack of connection to a private organization so as to get a job. Apparently, the job was posted online for Citizens of the country to apply. My friend and I applied for the job at the same time and we were hopeful that when the time for placement arrives we would be picked because we both made a good grade from the University. At first it was going well, when we were invited to take the aptitude test before the second interview but unfortunately we did not pass and this was due to the fact that many people who had bribed their way through.
Another current instance that is happening where I said to myself that "I must make it in life", is the issue of my mobile phone that has become old and it is giving me problems. The problem of my phone is so bad that sometimes it is difficult to navigate through my social media platforms and to solve through the internet at different times. Then I begin to wonder how some people would just wake up one money and just decide to change their phones and boom they go to a store and pay for a new one. But reverse is the case for me, hopefully I get to change my device soon enough.
Finally, I tend to succeed and make money legally so has to be able to cater for necessary needs and wants that are essential for growth and development both mentally and physically.
