I know the relationship between yourself and your mom is strained, but find ways to strengthen it, send her more that would be befitting of a mother if you have it.

I don't care if you decide to cut all others off.


Did she strengthen our relationship when i was down and broke?

I remember one time when i was hustling to save up money, i asked my dad for some money(before he passed away) he said: he will think about it, i immediately knew he will tell my mum and later on my father declined my request.... damn i knew she was the one that persuaded him not to give me the money🎯

emmanuelewumi:



How can you have one bank account, why didn't you transfer the fund to another account, buy Money Market fund or FGN bonds with the fund.
How come you transferred the money to your baby mamas account.


I hope you are not a Simp.


You just learned the hard way .

You are a big fool I'm not sorry to say. Normally,if you're smart you shouldn't help anyone unless you have something to gain.
And the best way to communicate your opinion is to insult me? You need help. The sooner you realize it, the better for you.

As a man Embrace Pain & Suffering

Don't be terrified by it. Don't be shocked by it. Accept the fact that you won't excape it so far as you're alive as a man.

Understand that life as man is filled with pain and suffering. It can come from Extreme brokeness, Debt, Betrayals, Health problems, lawful or unlawful incarceration etc.

Your low moments is a blessing in disguise. Instead of getting depressed by it, use it as fuel to achieving your goals.

The idea that gave me the money I'm enjoying today came during my dark period. During low moments, your creative thinking get boosted and your survival instinct get high. Use them to recreate yourself instead of slipping into depression.

This is deep

Some people don't know the best time to stick with a man is when he is down, except the rare ungrateful ones, most men will never forget .

If you also do otherwise and treat a man like shit when he is down, he also won't forget

You just described my life. I never hammer still struggling but am learning how to be wicked on my daughters grave… that little 6year old can confess the world is wicked before she left me.

You’ll be treated with high disregard and disrespect, you’ll be dared to do your worst, everything you do will be the most useless and stupid thing ever bcoz they’re trying to pepper you, if you not strong you die of heart attack, these are same people that use to love you and ready to do anything to help, one time you genuinely need their help and you’ll see their real personality is to pepper you for nothing sake except it gives them vibes to dominate, laugh and gossip about you. You’ll be wondering what you did to them.

Thanks there will still be someone who would be there for you, a genuine friend

Uche559:
Unnecessary excuse just to cover up one's poverty. My younger sister whom I senior with 10years was getting married I ve to lie that I was not given permission in the office. Even transport to travel home guy man no get......it's painful. Imagine me moving from a one bedroom flat to a single room and sold all my properties with a stupid excuse to my colleagues that am still single....my fiancee left this year, she could not endure anymore, but i had to lie to all those that knew us that our genotype does not match......

I used to think i had friends or colleagues. I resigned with over 12m saved but i was being debited on my accounts (250k, 200k). So before dem go tif my money finish, i transferred it to my baby mama pending when i resolve the account issue.

Before i could say jack, this woman has lost all my money. I had to sell my high end laptops and car sef.

Now the true color of everyone came out. Friends are the worse, the ones i bot fone for no de reach my house again. He comes every weekend cos we stay on d same street. Friends i de buy things for every weekend that i even dash money every and then stopped relating with me immediately. Hasn't called or chat.

The one wey dey come meet me borrow money every week wey i de even tell am to forget repayment embarrassed me cos he is now doing fine and i borrowed some funds and couldn't pay bak in time.

Only one or 2 colleagues reach out.

My siblings, two have been so supportive and encouraging. The other two wey i even place on salary for over 5 yrs no send me like dat.

My parents have been very wonderful mehn. They re lovely especially my mom. I just feel so sad i can't cater for her now but thank God dad is a pensioner

You can freeze your account through the App, you unfreeze when you need fund. With that nobody can move fund out of your account.

You will feel like you don't have any one in this world, and that is actually true, no one want to relate with a broke man.. when you don't have money that is when you know that no one, not even your pastor, family is your friends.. but when you have money, you don't need to have a camera phone to snap a picture..

Truth!, but you see that "Arrogance" that's what you need when you're doing well!, people who didn't aid you in anyway and feel entitled to your money deserve it!, it's also a great tool to checkmate manipulative and blackmailing people, they will smell your energy from far, Arrogance has its own benefits when utilised well!

No you didn't get it. That arrogance Ehn, I mean when you are still struggling to make it, don't be too proud to do any kind of job within the ambience of the law, don't see any job as beneath you, you never can tell.
I used to hawk wares, I used to serve food at parties and wash the plates afterwards, I used to do laundry service before (Local Alagbafọ) I used to do background vocalists for musicians. Those things don't deter me, I know where I'm going. I'm still going o. I believe in my own hands. If anyone gives me fine, if not, it's also fine. That's why I always say even if I marry a Dangote, I'll work. I can't stay idle it's a taboo. If you have made your money and you want to add a tinge of arrogance to it, it's fine but be careful.

That was when I completed nysc and could not boast of 30k in the account. I was reduced lower than a church rat. Even church rat could afford to eat left over food in the church.

After exhausting the little I raised during NYSC, searching for jobs, I was left with nothing.

But God changed my story.

Funny enough then I was broke, I had more good female friends who wished I had money than now.
i wish u can throw more light in ur "after nysc life"

1) Nobody else cares about you except your immediate family.

2) Giving is a Spirit. Not everybody has the Spirit.

3) Everything in life is vanity. And I mean everything. Except food to eat, cloth to wear and a shelter over your head.

4) Do not only remember God when it is well with you. Remember God all the time.

I remember in 2018 I sent my Step-brother 1M Naira so we could do biz together. He fumbled the money and couldn't account for it, which made me sad and delayed alot of my projects .

Now he's broke and expecting me to help him, family members are also asking me to forgive and forget. Although I've forgiven him but it's not possible to forget.

So how is it possible to help that kind of person. Whenever he asks for help again from me I always remember that sad period in my life cos it's like he duped me .

I learnt no one is really trustworthy when it involves money. And I've learnt to always say NO cos you can never help everyone
