I am a software engineer. I have worked for a company for over 5 years.

The company is a startup and I was given a share in the company (7%) with 100k pay. we built this company together.

I was thinking if the company gets funding my life would change but as it is now my life is becoming miserable.

the company is not funded yet. Our CEO has been trying alot. The industry is yet untapped and I was seeing a good future with the company

but life has started choking me. If I see people I started with they are all doing well, even the people I taught.

I missed a lot of good opportunities as well.

I also had oppportunity to do fraud but I did not want to be involved in such.

I am over 35 and have not achieved anything yet. Not yet married.

I am thinking if I leave and they get funded. I will regret it the rest of my life. If I stay I don't know how long it will take to get funded

I am feeling I am a failure. I feel I have wasted my life.

I have really worked hard but nothing to show for it.

This is really getting me depressed. What can I do in this suitation?

Kvarachi:
Good morning everyone. I need your honest opinion on what to do on this matter.
.
I am a commercial bus driver dating a girl working in a petrol station. We have been dating since February this year.
After knowing the meagre salary she received per month, I placed her on 2k daily allowance.
Every week she get foods beverages and every two weeks or sometimes more she gets money for her other material things.
You guys don't need a soothsayer to know we actually met and started dating while I was filling my bus tank.
.
To cut long story short, something happened ystday that surprised me and got me seriously angry with her.
You all know there's a bit of fuel scarcity in the country now, I'm working in Lagos though.
So ystday I was at their fuel station on the queue waiting to buy fuel, the queue I was, was the one my girl was serving. Cuz I'm in a hurry and needed to go to work, I said let me even use gallon to go get it since it's my girl that's serving.
I told my conductor to be moving the bus in case the line move while I took the gallon to the front where she was.
.
When she first saw me she smile at me and I signal to her that I needed fuel asap. She gave me a hand that indicate "wait". I was there she was selling for other people both cars and on keg. I was calling her and trying to get her attention to attend to me but she ignored me.
Ah ah! I was so furious, apart from her being my girl, that filling station is my permanent filling station where I get fuel and I'm supposed to be giving that small privilege. To make matter worst my own girl that we just smash each other the night prior to that day is ignoring me for no reason.
I wanted to cause commotion there not bcuz of my girl but bcus I was one of their regular customer. But I held my peace and went back to where my bus is.
.
Lo and behold before it got to my turn they said their fuel is finished. My girl began looking for me and when she saw me ran to where I was to explain, I just ignored her, start my bus and drove off.
I later got fuel but it wasn't until 6pm ystday and I missed that ystday's work.
Since then she has been calling and I refused picking, she has sent msg giving me flimsy excuse on why she didn't answered me at first, that they're so many people there before me. She just want to answer some before attending to me, that she doesn't want them to start saying who be this one wey just come now and you quickly answer am.
Me I haven't reply her text or pick or call her back. I'm still angry for missing that ystday's work. Bcuz of that I didn't send her her daily allowance.
.
Pls guys, I need your honest opinion. What should I do, cuz this is the first time I needed her to do something for me and she failed?

Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.
* We will reverse the anti-women trends.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for us as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun Osewa,
Nairaland's Founder.

It's a shame we have no God fearing moderators in this forum, Anymore.
That post is an attack against the church of God and should be brought down to avoid bringing God's curses on all the moderators on this form!!!!

pansophist:
For those who don't understand what the OP is saying, let me put in another way.

There is racial hierarchy the world is built upon, and most Africans who haven't left Africa don't know about it. Ngozi Chimamanda spoke about being aware she is black after she left Nigeria. She never knew it was a thing.

You might not know about it, but the world will show you where they think you belong, and it can be dehumanizing if you don't know how to navigate these terrains.

It's like how a bank manager may single out a millionaire standing in the queue, even if you all are customers. Or in a church, the big boys hang out with themselves, forming cliques.

You never thought your poverty could be used against you, after all, you didn't bother anyone with it. it's the same for race. I am black, but I didn't trouble you with my blackness, so why this treatment?

The best way to navigate such a scenario is not to play. You can only lose if you play. Just be in the group if you have to be there, but be mute, don't view their comments, mute the chat, and only respond and reply where it is NECESSARY.

Don't exit the group, to avoid giving a wrong impression, but you need to operate overtly since they are also operating overtly. You act like you don't know their game, and when they hope to catch and beat you somewhere, you are not there.

But make sure you are good at whatever you do, your competence is your redemption. Let them feel superior, or disenfranchise you from whatever, but when they are done operating in deceit, they will know deep down that you are good, and them no reach.

First thing first, I will advise you to really polish your tech skills really well. Machine learning itself isn't an entry level tech role. You are better off looking for things like data analytics or engineering but those are quite competitive at entry level since everyone bought the AI hype and is quite interested in data science.

If you can get Australian or Canadian pr then you should go for it as you will easily settle and integrate in both countries.

If your wife is pregnant and you have the money, then giving birth in mexico is a good option as you immediately get permanent residency and citizenship in 2 years which also has a lot of options for you. I don't know how the logistics field is in mexico but the tech industry in mexico is very solid with regards to availability of jobs.

Please how is this the answer to why the son of a white father is called a black man?
Are you able to explain why

edimina:
I would have loved to make an intro of this post based on what people have had to say severally about bringing your wife to abroad, most especially the ones you knew must have been messing up in ways that one cant curb in Nigeria talkless of being abroad. This is a summary of whats going on with me now. So I arranged for us to move with student visa, shes the main applicant and myself and the 3 children are dependent. Its been a year and the half here now, and just 6 months into entering this country, my eye dun see shege from this woman. One thing I can actually hail and praise her for though is her delegence in taking care of the house, cook and all that. But I do my own bit too cos when shes out for work, I cook for the kids, I clean once in a while too and do what I can.

So after graduation, we got a sponsorship work VISA via the care home shes working for, though while she was a student, she was working in a daycare which was filled with white people, she always complained about how she could not cope with the white people’s culture and how she cant contribute their gist, so she was really happy that she had moved to this new place where she had met some Nigerians.

Now this is where the wahala is, she has 3 prominent friends there, 2 males and a female. So I noticed she picks up these dudes at home to work, pick the girl and do the same, then to make it worse, she will go ahead and still go drop them at home, when me dun dey house after work after taking care of the kids make I comot with car, she go come late and all that. Overtime this ish continued, so I told her one day, bae I don’t think it’s a good idea going to pick and drop this people all the time, because for the lady, her husband normally come around to pick her up and drop her off, but since them don see mugu, the guy totally stopped, so it became my madams task to run everytime they are on shift together. When I had this discussion with her, she complained that they are just friends that she may get the same help from later on, I was like am not saying you should not help, but don’t take it upon urself to be doing this all the time. All said and done she never listended to me and the deed continued to an extent that the husband of the lady had only given her money once, and maybe once from one of those guys and na me and am dey combine money to buy fuel. So it got a level where she begin dey carry food from house go give those guys, not all the time but sometimes. So yesterday jollof wey she cook, I was going to microwave in the morning to eat, I found out it was gone, I called to ask where the food was, she boldy told me that she had taken to her two male friends who told her they were hungry, I was now like why would u priortorize outsiders over your family, she sha change am sey sebi they too bring food that she eats blab la bla. And to even say that one of these dude is the one I created this thread about: the level of disrespect is unimaginable. Funny this is, after creating that above thread, a week after serious confrontation she had a feud with the guy and they stopped talking to each other, in which the guy stopped working at the place, but few days ago I got in from work and I saw that she was on call (speaker on) with this same guy, talking freely and giving me a no Give a F attitude, because I thought the only way she could have at least show me that she was remorseful was to cut permanent ties with that guy, but hell no. After her convo with the guy, she came to meet me that she hope that am not angry about her calling and talking to the guy, I was like its none of my biz, that I had important things to think about, in which it was indirect statement that I thought she would understand, omo from that day like this them dun start their friendship again,, to an extent I felt disrespected, disregarded and I started feeling theres more to what I have been thinking before. That aside, the other guy too, I noticed that one talks to her anyhow, though in a playful way. One day she came back from work and started complaining that the people that shes helping that they aren’t appreciating her, the started with the lady, that her husband does not even care again, only sent her money for fuel once, but the one that is hurting her most if the fact that this other dude that talks to her anyhow tried to implicate her at work, saying that he started yelling at her at the dinning where the old people are, that why haven’t u fed this woman, don’t u have grandma in the house, that he went as far as reporting her to one of the oldies that didn’t gave dementia that could have easily reported her to her manager which can out her work in jeopardy. I was like so have u served his sanction of not dropping and picking him again? She was like no oo, this happened last week, that shes still dropping him, I was like wow! She was like the reason is because the guy had come to prostrate to beg her, I was like how old is this dude, she said 26, and shes 36, omo I was in awe. Before any starts saying am not man enough, am a simp or weak, omo this country na were oo, he dey change SOME women. On a final note I have given her a mandate that she should stop picking or dropping anybody off at their respective homes, infact she should tell them that its my husband that said so. Story continues on the other new thread
