I continued my job search regardless the stumbling blocks and obstacles, but at some point i started feeling blue and depressed. "Some nerves you've got" i said to the invisible force which seem like an ill luck, assigned to monitor my life. Unlike before, this time i decided to drag God into the whole situation, giving him every details through prayers and receiving feedback that uplifted my soul through the Bible.
On this particular day, one of my sister's friend who worked in the bank called and informed us of a job opening for fresh graduates who had not gone for youth service {NYSC}, he stated that the pay was convincing and encouraging and that he could help me speak with the HR and the branch manager of his bank for quick hiring. "That was you" (God), i said under my breath as my heart was filled with awe, i was convinced about being a celebrity barber in the nearest future
I got my first salary, removed my tithes and paid for the barbing fee but of course, not without the contribution of my siblings. Though my barbing sessions had to be scheduled for weekends because of how time consuming my new job is but nonetheless, you can be sure that if it was about barbing,I've been endowed as an immovable object that no force could ever uproot.
My boss was such a softhearted person but didn't have time on his side to train me, (so i thought at first), but with time, i started getting fed up of having to stand all day behind his client's, staring and pretending to understand how fast every client's hair took a new turn through the act of carving and cutting . I needed more, i needed answers to lots of questions burning in my heart as regards barbing but unfortunately my boss wasn't much of a teacher. I requested that he compile a handout for me so i could understand the logic behind giving a successful haircut, but he kept making empty promises which later weared off with time.
Why can't people stand by their words?, why can't they be sincere with other people's sweat?, these were the questions i had to deal with before the unprecedented happened.

I can attest to the fact that your sister is worthy of emulation...I am a big fan ��. On the other hand, I feel what you must have gone through, you waiting for your inquisitive mind to be fed by your oga... Its tiring and frustrating.
