After I saw how my dad suffered to raise the two of us I and my sibling till the company he was working with went down. We started living from one aunt house to uncles houses. I have been thrown out on four occasions, accused of stealing on many occasions, starved by family, disowned by my own mother who is in the abroad sending monies to different people in Nigeria and disregarding her son because I looked like my father. At 21 I moved to ibadan, stayed with a friend, dumped by my gf, Hustled to get my cert, did my Nysc, hustled more, bought a land at ibadan, bought my first car, bought another car, moved down to Lagos, rented a apartment. Now I have a unisex salon, a boutique, a car listed on Bolt, and Presently working on roofing my project. It’s not been easy. Not all women are mothers. 1168 Likes 94 Shares |

Not all mom are mothers and not all dad are fathers. Now rewrite the story by finding your kids a beffiting mother and giving them a good life as a dad. We must not replicate our horrible past to our children. Doing the same to my kids. 151 Likes 9 Shares |

My story is quite different because I will appreciate my father as a man any day any time. I remember growing up in a one room boys quarter with my parents and two siblings. Life was so tough and we use to help mum sell bonce and puff puff. Dad was a taxi driver but we didn't really know what he was doing then because we were quite young. One thing about my dad was that he was determined and I remember my sister entering secondary school in one public school but before I got to enter secondary school, dad had a job that started paying something a little nice. We moved from the boys quarter to a one bedroom house that erosion nearly carried us one night. He put me in a private secondary school and transferred my sister to same private secondary school. My younger brother later joined us and things were beginning to change a little. My dad didn't depend on that job because he kept pushing for something better till he struck a jackpot. He got employed in one of the biggest oil companies in Nigeria and then boom, the whole story started changing. He bought our first house, bought cars, spoilt us with money. We got practically everything we wanted in life. I entered university first year with my own ride. He bought all of us rides and messed us up with whatever we needed. We go overseas for holidays and I saw the difference between poverty and riches. He bought houses and also built a befitting palace to suit his status, set all of us up after graduation and we are all doing fine. He is retired now and still enjoying his pension peaceful to the point that if we send him 100k each as a gift, he will be laughing at us that we don't have money and we are giving him chicken change lol. Life without money is actually the real hell on earth. Heaven is right here on earth when you gat money. I pray everyone makes it in life. 519 Likes 41 Shares |

Well, I didn't only grew up poor, I also grew up disabled after suffering permanent hearing loss since I was a kid in primary school. As painful as that hearing loss was, it was what later pushed me to go and learn a trade in barbing since my hearing loss will be a great hindrance to my pursuit of higher education as there is no way I could have survived in conventional universities even though I managed to survived conventional high school up to SS2, and the other obvious choice which is a university for the deafs is not an option either as I never learned sign language. long story short, I am a boss barber now with my own shop and two obedient apprentice. By God's grace l am completely totally independent and out of poverty. Doesn't sound so much like a big deal but when l count the number of able bodied people l know who are not doing well as l am and will give anything just to be in my position, and the relations and friends l have been able to assist whenever l could, l can not but say a big thank you to God. 898 Likes 74 Shares |

Poverty has stages I don’t know if i should say i was born with poverty but i could categorically sense that, with the way almost everyone us looked down on us each time made me realize i have to prove everyone wrong. Especially being the only son with three sisters. Although, i have grown and healed from the whole events. but i must advise anyone going through all sort of financial pain or poverty to try free themselves from fears and limitations. There is nothing you can not achieve even at a young age if you put through with the right habits that will transform you to greatness. 164 Likes 6 Shares |

Man!!! It was rough!!! Grew up in a ghetto in Lagos where we were oppressed by OPC everyday. There were public lynching and ethnic cleansing conducted by the OPC. Then we were oppressed by the police. After OPC have had their way and killed whom they pleased, the police would extort us and beat us severely if you dared to oppose Then there were the thieves that would raid every house in the ghetto. Robbing and raping and killing. Fortunately, we were never attacked by any of those but I saw it so many times that I got desensitized to the deaths and charred bodies that lined up the street everyday. It wasn’t funny! 32 Likes 2 Shares |

I grew up in a very poor family. I won't say am very rich now. I'm still in the process and I love the fruitful results am seeing. While in schools, I went into DIGITAL MARKETING and COPYWRITING, that's what's fetching me money now and am pretty cool with it. The journey has not been easy so far but is the determination to escape poverty that has kept me going. My advice to anyone born poor is this: "if you die poor is your fault" 151 Likes 8 Shares |
