It would move itself their through grace...

I hope so....

How do I get this moved to the fp

Life was really good for a time until it wasn't. I was doing so well for myself, had no problems feeding, paying my 190k rent at Ogba, sponsored a guy at Yabatech up to ND level and was still able to send money to my family every month.

This is my testimony, pure truths.

I finished my national service in 2017 at Anambra and returned to Lagos with the sole aim of starting a business and by the grace of God, I was doing so well and was really on my way up.

Shortly before I decided to man up and leave Lagos, I found out I had depression.
The reason why I said I found out is because I woke up one morning and started crying profusely and unknowningly. I'm a very positive person and most times I don't allow man-made things to weigh me down but this was too difficult to take.

At first I did like any young man of 27 would do. I pretended I was ok, I lied to myself but here I am depressed and having suicidal thoughts and I need all the help I can.
I had returned to my home town to pursue a master's degree, so I thought to myself. But in reality I had fled to my hometown after my life had collapsed in Lagos. I once had a business, an apartment, did some teaching on the side at Ogba.

My aim was to start a logistics company then turn my food delivery business to a bigger restaurant. I was honestly doing well for myself but catastrophe struck and everything fell apart from there. This is what happened, I bought Keke and a bike and gave both out. Then Keke was 700k TVS king while bike Bajaj was 100k. I gave both out. After three months my Keke rider had life threatening accident at Allen and never recovered. He had a brain damaged while my Keke was damaged beyond repair. My rider had a family and I was the one helping the wife by giving her 5k every month and also paid the hospital bill. My food business stuffered and my operating cost was exceeding my revenue. I had to shut down for while. When the bike guy paid me all my money, I decided to run. I don't know what was happening to me. I became so down, demotivated and even had a nervous breakdown. It was as if was hit by a misfortune. I just don't know how it happened.

The situation that broke the camel's back.

I was at Allen to deliver food. I misplaced my android phone on a Friday but I didn't really care because my main line is in my small phone. Issue is the line linked with my savings is in the android and I don't touch that account no matter what. When I visited the bank after a week to deposit some money, I noticed my GT account was drained, My 374k gone just like that. I requested for my bank statement only to find out that the person who stole my phone used my line to buy airtime to my own line. He was just buying airtime with zero cash transactions. I lost everything from there and my motivation was gone. I wish I blocked my sim Immediately but I went about my biz which brought me to my knees.

It looked like it was a spiritual attack but I'll attribute my predicament to poor decision making and lack of emotional strength.

Everything I had built in Lagos fell apart. My rent was due things were happening so fast so I said to myself, once my rent is due, I'll leave town in order not to go mad and walk on the street of Lagos. I just needed a break. I thought going home would fix things, I thought using the bike money to get a one room, then start a master's degree would fix things but things became even tougher when I entered my state capital. It became so tough that I had to go to my village and stay for a while.

It was a real fall from grace.

I cried, I prayed but nothing was happening. I almost committed suicide but when I remember my mum and my future children, I knew I had to keep going. The money I had left was not enough for feeding not to talk of doing masters. It was really tough.

Staying in the village was brutal for a guy who has seen life in Lagos and enjoyed it. I eventually used my last cash to go to the state capital. I stayed in a church and got a teaching job that paid me 15k per month. I taught maths, economics and accounting. It was not a good experience but I had to endure. I saved enough to feed myself then save up to travel to Lagos. I've been in Lagos since 2008. I know Lagos and I know there are lots of opportunities there. I made a living in that city before castastrophe, poor planning and emotional breakdown took over my life. I'm now in Lagos after saving just enough to get me a few months. Spending time in the village almost ruined me that's why I decided to return to where I've been highly favoured before.

I want to use this medium to ask, to plead with well meaning Nigerians and nairalanders. I need some funding to kick-start my life again. I'll be grateful and won't let that person/people down. I can ride bike, Keke, even Toyota automatic cars. I have also had a good run when I was running my food delivery bussiness at Ogba. I am currently staying with a young boy I trained up to ND level at Yabatech at Ikorodu. But I know I can't overstay my welcome. I've talked to my friends but the story is same, they said they don't have money while some are married and I kind of understand the situation.

I returned to Lagos on January 01, 2022.

I want to add that whatever help I get here to stand again, the proceeds will be shared. One for charity/motherless and then myself. I've been a nairalander since November 2008, but I've never created a theead. I deactivated in 2019 when my life was in ruins but I'm back now. Thank you all for your time, God bless you all, Amen.

This like my testimony and everything I've said here is true.
