A Nigerian man named Quadri Yakubu has revealed how leaving his banking job made him a happier husband and man.
On Facebook, the young man said that he was under pressure at work because of the great distance between his home and place of employment.
He revealed that while working at the bank, he experienced marital problems, but that after quitting, he was happier.
He wrote,
“Immediately I left my banking Job, I noticed that I became happier and more loving to my wife and kid,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
Imagine living in Mararaba and working in Jabi, as if the pressure from Madam ND and Co is not enough, the Mararaba -AYA traffic will add to your troubles! The work pressure almost made me run mad.
Whenever I get home, the greeting from my wife seems like a disturbance, but all that changed the very day I dropped their ID card for them.
The kind of work you do has a way of affecting your mental health. I have suffered too much in this life, I deserve some enjoyment! It’s not easy anywhere, please don’t allow anyone to mess with your mental health.

Onuche Samuel Eneojo: Everyday your story about banking rings in my head… The day I resign from my banking job in Lagos it was like 10 bags of Cement was lifted off my shoulders, I instantly became happy, I trekked from Opebi to Ikeja laughing myself…. I gained a knowledge but almost lost myself… I return to my hustle and God has given me every reason to stay in my business other than working 24/7 for ungrateful people who will milk your strength and leave you as vegetables for your retirement… If working is your calling pay attention to it, whatever you find to do that makes you happy stay true to it…
Hope Paul: You are right…I discovered a level of peace within me the very day I dropped my teaching job to face my tailoring work too…. Every day I would wake up as early as 4:30 to prepare my boy for school while also pregnant…Then I ll cook and make sure the entire house is tidy…By 7:30 I must be at work….after close ,I ll open my shop..a shop I even newly got…I stopped my self from getting customers and patronage by taking a job that would cease my peace..how much was the pay??I can’t even mention because it was too poor.. I did this for 4 months and discovered I was losing it mentally .. I dropped the job and immediately found my self back..I could now do things at my own time…
