Girlee: Dear, you are welcome to the world. It is at this age reality sets in for many underprivileged or disadvantaged youths in Nigeria and the time many a youths are tempted to make drastic life's decisions that may end in premium tears. This is what happens when there is no proper guidance or a safe place to run to. I would have said you should seek counselling in a good church, that can support you and intervene in your family issues for your own good but unfortunately many churches today are either after your money or only after your spirituality. Your daddy building a house may be his own sure way of keeping an asset that would yield him salary in his old age. He may be acting out of fear. Sadly, this is the vicious cycle in many low-income earning homes and that is why you may be feeling neglected. He may think that you do not need to rush as your schooling could wait. He sees a pressing need to build his house for a security of his own future too. Also note that when A is unhappy, the unhappiness passes to B , then to C and when needs and expectations are not met, the whole environs became toxic and unbearable. This is the sad reality. My one pence advise I know to give is: 1. Be strong, stay resilient and fight. Fight the problem to win. Don't commit suicide. Millions are also facing same problem and worse issues than yours and are still fighting.Peradventure, they could win. 2. If or should you run away from home, seek a proper refuge. You could stay in an orphanage home, or with your pastors or a good aunt but please, let your parent or siblings be in the know as to where you are. Do not fall into the hands of female eaters and virgin hunters. 3. Seek a solution to passing your exams by reading voraciously, practice more past questions and devote more time to study, study, study. Select a course that is professional, lucrative and life fulfilling for your own future. 4. Work and pray. Seek work in places like schools or shops that close early. That way, you have time to refresh and sleep or better still. You could sell things like clothes, shoes or bags to students or in the markets. That way, your time is at your discretion. Pray. Pray as this is the thing we have to do in this part of the world to get favours, grace and opportunity. 5. Seek information and opportunities for young school leavers like yourself. Scholarship? Free vocational paid trainings? Etc. 6. Speak out. Yes. Tell people about what you're passing through. There are many angels as much as there are demons. 7. Wait. Time changes a lot of things. Time could change your state and life entirely. If it doesn't, it could change the way you perceive and relate with your own reality. I wish you well in your journey and pray you don't make too many mistakes. 2 Likes |

Evolutionlove:Dude, some people may genuinely want to help. You can advise the young woman on how not to fall prey. We need organised charitable groups on whose doors people like the OP can knock and seek help. She could easily be a daughter to many Nairalanders. Evolutionlove, I want to believe that you have enough humanity in you to assist people like this young woman in real life. While some do nefarious things out of greed, a lot of young women go into oloshoism for simple reasons of genuine need or lack. |

Note: one free paid vocational training I know is: FSD VTE Academy 13 Acme crescent, off Acme Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos. You can talk to any of the staff there and you could be assisted with a free accommodation but I guarantee you a good free paid vocational training and internship with them. |

Girlee: Young woman, at 18, you have not even started life yet really. I know you may feel otherwise but there is nothing you still cannot do. From getting your degree to becoming minister or even president. Don't run away. You are too intelligent to do that. Your dad may not be as financially buoyant as you may think. Be patient and keep being a good daughter to your family and society. Help will surely locate you. 1 Like |

Girlee:let me advice u, with ur jamb score I am not really sure uniben will give you nursing, so I would advice u buy a change of course form and change to optometry or other courses with low cut off mark,as it is better to get something related to medical courses than for uniben to transfer u to unprofessional courses, also u said u didn't gain admission at all last year,are u sure you uploaded ur o'level results to ur jamb caps and kofa page,,all in all don't give up,prove them wrong and also never sell ur body for money 2 Likes |

Girlee: I see you have a habit of self glorification. It isn't good. Let others be the one to praise you. (Read Proverbs 27:2) If what you said is true in regards to your dad is true, its sad.Your father should give his all for your success. Nursing is a very good course, with the opportunity to travel overseas thereafter. Think of some ingenious but righteous way to make money. 1 Like |

untoldtruth: Now you just told her nothing. I was expecting you advice her to remain in her parents place until she sorts things out in the regard of going to school or front her with a genuine advice (that does not include her shagging a man). I'm trying to understand what lyrics or whatever has got to do with her upbringing and life here. How about you come out clean and be of help, than uncoding and decoding and cybercoding.

Postinor: I'm rethinking the definition of family. My teacher defined family to be a group of people related by blood but I'm seeing people encouraging me, calling to lift my spirit, helps from people I don't know, doing what my family rarely does.

Girlee:My dear, if it was possible, I would have advised you to try applying to a Northern University like Sokoto Dan Fodio for nursing. Sokoto is quite safe mostly. Cut-off marks are lower. Also consider Radiography if they won't give you nursing. It's in demand and less hard work than nursing. You can also try midwifery route. So you have options. Explore your extended family. An uncle, cousin or aunt somewhere may be willing to support. No need to be shy about seeking genuine help. Many of us have supported extended family members through education over the years. 2 Likes |

This your dad that you are describing here, what's the guarantee that if you get admission, he will pay your fees? You have to be smarter about getting money from him than just asking outright. He is your dad, you know him better. When I was younger, if I and my siblings ask my dad for money for clothes, he either refuses or gives us peanuts. But ask for something academic, you will see money rain. Maybe your dad is a member of the 'school na scam' club. Try to be creative. Also, don't leave home without a sure thing you are doing for enough cash to look after your self else forget these values you claim you have, you will fall into prostitution. You said you have like a blog of something where you advice people.. Ever tried monitising it? Or opening a go fund me with this your story? I dunno but try something smart. Create a niche for yourself like Hilda bassey. Also, seek Gods help in earnest heartfelt prayers. He still answers you know. Chat me if you need someone to talk to. All the best little sis. 2 Likes |

dafeoroyo: She's doesn't work for now. She has tried so many businesses that later failed. And she's equally going through a lot. My dad is the one everyone looks up to. He has never been a lovely husband to her. But she loves him and encourages us (her children) to do same. She is a mother. The woman didn't sleep last night but was just praying and I also heard her advising my dad. My dad has left to work this morning. We'll be seeing him in the next 3 months... God has already began his work in our lives through angels on Nairaland. I appreciate you all🌹 |

I wish I was eighteen like you and had a father like yours. I would be happy and take advantage that no one wants to help but I was deceived. The people around me pretended that they will be of help but I was being played like pin pong lol. Now I will be 27 soon and in 100 level in that university you are aspiring for. I know of a girl that is in 100 level nursing Uniben and she’s 26. Many are over 25 in 100 level and one beautiful thing about nursing or medicine and surgery. Is that there is no age discrimination. Leave that family move to somewhere like Lagos. Go to the island you’ll see waiter jobs paying as high as 70k salary. You’ll be getting small tips that can make you not to touch your salary at all. If you save 40k for 4 years that’s like 2M. That should settle your tuition through school and feeding. If you enter 100 level at 24 and come out at 29. You can still serve at 30 and jet out of the country. Stick to your morals don’t trade your body for money it never ends well 1 Like |

Girlee:.... So sorry about what you are passing through. All these things are just to make you strong and prepare you for a better tomorrow. I know you have a better tomorrow so don't let the unpleasant relationship you have with your dad destroy that. Running away is not the best solution but it will worsen the solution. Mutually talk with your father. Find out why she is treating you that way. Maybe there is something you are doing that he dislikes. No responsible Dad will allow his child to go through hardship or pain. It is the dream of every parent to see their children happy and progress in life. Don't be in a rush to enter school. I will advise you to learn a skill like fashion, hair dressing, or any digital skill before you enter school so that you will use that skill to survive if the journey goes soar. Where do you reside? From your write it seems you reside in Delta State. 1 Like |
