It's been a blessing...

God controls time and time waits for Him alone not anyone.

So God can do whatever He likes in any time He so desires.

Truth is our blessings are in different time and seasons determined by God.

Not in our timing.

A massive blessing for me. I was looking for a place to stay, searched everywhere. Went above and beyond but no result. I decided I was going to wait and see if someone moves out of a friend's place so I could move in, and pronto!
My in law called me to come and a take 3 bed house rent free with all utility free.

It's God all the way

I don't know why but I always have to wait and strike over and over again before I eventually breakthrough. I have prayed severally to God to break me out of this yoke. For instance I wrote WAEC twice the second time I made all my 5 credit, I wrote Jamb 3 times and in all of these I was always aceing it but I'll still be denied admission or given a course I don't like. when I finally gained admission and graduated I narrowly slipped making a 2.1 despite all the effort I put in. after that NYSC turn wahala while every other persons got mobilized one thing led to another and made me wait one whole year before going for service now it's 2years after service yet have still not been able to secure a Job yet despite the several interview I've done. just recently the Edo state civil service recruitment I scored 82 in my category making me the highest in the role I applied for yet first batch list of those given the job came out without my name on it am still praying and hoping it comes out in the second batch. I don't know if I should say delay is a blessing or a curse but what I can say for me is at all time when the breakthrough eventually comes it has a way of making all the delays worth it!

99.9% of the time, it has been a blessing. One instance I had to stay back at home when I couldn't raise the transport to go out and begged a friend for some money, only for a long time friend to come knocking with a message from our other friend outside of the shore of the county with a $500 bills for me.

Re: Has Delay Or Waiting Been A Blessing Or A Curse To You? by BornToSucced(m): 9:39am On Sep 13, 2021
I think delay (waiting or patience) has been a summary of my own journey.

Most things (jobs, promotion, a partner) I wanted and really anxious for never came when I was ready. But when it does happen, it's usually massive.

In this I have learnt never to focus on outcomes, but the process. If you spend your life waiting for outcomes, you would miss so many things along the journey.

While waiting for something, use that time to grow other areas of your life.

Someone told me that if you want to receive something from God or achieve anything worthwhile, PATIENCE is the watchword. That's why many can't wait and rather look for short cut.

Please also know there's a thin line between patience and waste of time.

While it may not seem so at first but it is most definitely a blessing in disguise, even if you don't(can't) see it that way, it is what it is, beyond us, beyond our understanding.. You're not there yet but you're here now, don't despair, give it time, give it your all, trust in God, that He continually strengthens your faith in Him and I pray that He lifts you up above all your setbacks & worries.

Waiting Obviously

My grace has not been d fast track like some other people...

Proposed projects or plans around me seems to delay while people close to me like fams and colleagues sky rockets...living me behind...

But hav noticed something about my grace! "It's doesn't want me rush" (it usually tells me "boy you need to relax and wait"wink and I will be like ...ehhh but my frnds have moved to the level...why I'm still here...the grace will speak again "if you wanna work with me and receive what your deserve or hoping for...you need to relax"

So I begin to relax, work hard, prayerful and hopeful... Eventually when everything clicks...it's surpass the people that left me behind... sometimes they come to me like how did you go about it...

Makes me remember the common saying...he who laff last, actually laff best ....

You need to discover yourself!
It will really help you!!!


I can relate, cos it's the same too with me. It took me long to realize that. Infact some people wey no know me go even dey think say I dey slow, say I no sharp. But when everywhere go burst, dem go con ask, "How u take do am?"

My guess is that you are waiting for something right now and you asked this question to draw motivation from others.... That is good.

I am also waiting and I have been waiting since 2017. wink

What? Did you hear that right? I have been waiting since 2017 when I started this journey to build a solid B2B venture.

Within this period, I have ventured into 3 business ideas but all are almost the same model but different niches.

The first one failed due to inexperience and I am glad it did.

The second one would have been a massive success but we got in late, coupled with the Nigerian sector. We barely broke even in there. There is still a possibility that we can revive things there, however, due to the Nigerian factor, I chose not to get into anything where the Nigerian government has hands.

Though I plan to restrategize and go back in there.

Now, with experience from the first two, I came up with another one... It is pending and it is sure to succeed. We would have recorded our first success by 2020, however, corona came and ruined things for us...

But.. we are still pushing. I only need one break from this one and I will explode!

Now, here is the thing about waiting...You will doubt yourself, you will question whether you are on the right path, you will wonder whether you are doing the right thing.

This is bound to happen especially when you see other guys are cranking figures but if you got your data right, your vision will hardly be blurry. I draw motivation for the current venture from the fact that there was a big company operating there in the 90s that packed up BUT the market is still there and has grown so big. All I want to do is focus on 3 places... Abuja, Lagos, and Portharcourt for a start.

Sometimes to make that big break, we just have to go back to the past... I have tested this theory on a small scale and I did record some successes.

Will I succeed...? I AM SURE AS HELL THAT I WOULD.

What gives me that confidence? There is ALMOST no competition. So, I will wait for it. cool

Good morning Nairalanders.

Please this is a cry from a UNIBEN student. Just recently, the new V.C brought a new rule for the payment of school fees just 3 weeks into resumption. If not, there will be an additional #20,000.

Sincerely, my family has been going through some tough times and I usually pay in the second semester.

But just this morning, #20,000 has been added bringing the fee to #61,400



Please, I am a first class student in my finals. It was stipulated that if this new fee is not paid on time, then the students will forfeit their admission. I don't want to miss this, I am in my finals and have a great chance of making a first class.



Please, if you can help me, reach out to me via my email - gcworld2022@gmail.com

Please, this is an appeal.



Thanks.

Multiple reasons actually.

The pressing issue right now is the fact that my course adviser told me that I spilled, refused to let me know the courses I failed and wanted to use the medium to extort 50 - 100k from me when in reality I didn’t even fail any course.

I do not think that happened to you, did it? I would have served since March this year.

okay I see now, truth be told our Academic staff in universities really need to curtail these barbaric acts, same thing almost happened to me too... My E&R officer told me I had an extra year because one of my courses didn't display on my result page but I was smart enough to request for the transcript where I could verify the grades in hard copy and I realized that I actually passed that course and the fault was from their own negligence because I wrote my name in the attendance and all.

So my point is the impunity in universities is so appalling, especially in your final year... That's why one has to be very careful during Finals and follow all academic process with due diligence and scrutiny because most lectures are out to devastate your whole life and career. #ThisIsNigeria #ShineYourEye
