My Story long.. But I no go expose myself for public forum
I am still poor..I've been starved for a whole day straight.. Just drinking water only.. I de stay with my Uncle... As i am now.. I have vowed not to get married or born.. Till I get enough money..
Imagine getting cov in a course because i no get 2k to buy book... Imagine not writing Ssce with my mates bcuz of 15..
People with rich parents don't know what God has done for them..
I won't bring a child into this world to come and suffer what i suffered.. ⅓ of what I've seen would kill some people
Long story short... My life is meaninglessness.. I'm just clowning Online to kill depression..
If I see anywhere wey i fit Sell my soul to give my parents and my younger bro and Sis Money to enjoy life forever... I'd do it.... All the ones have seen are demanding sacrifice.. I'm a half atheist anyways...So many prayers have gone unanswered that I have doubts about anybody up there
Nothing de to live for for this world... We are all gonna die anyways... It's just a matter of time.. I understand |

I saw everything about poverty. I lived with poverty and dined with poverty. First of all, things weren't that bad for us. My dad was a business man in Ikeja and his business was blooming. My mum is a RN and she worked at Eko Hospital Ikeja. My Dad made 3 major mistakes that left us in poverty
1) Spent so much on his siblings (He was the eldest) to the extent of sponsoring his brother's travel to S/Africa for his business have little savings
2) Sold a lot of goods on Credit, which eventually crumbled the business
3)Kept making babies despite his worsening economic situation
No 3 was the greatest of all. The bills kept coming. Seven of us with little spacing. We all had to go to School. We all had to eat. The first sign was when we had to stop school (I was in Primary 4 purple in St Leo's catholic school Ikeja), missed a term (1st term Pry 5) and then started 2nd term Primary 5 in Anifowoshe Primary School Ikeja.
Things got worse. My mum got fired at EKO Hospital, at same moment as my paternal grandmother died and most of the burial responsibility on the shoulder of my dad who was already in chronic financial distress. My parents left the three first of us to the hands of our kind neighbours for 3 months (9 years then) without any form of contact as there was no phone then. At last, we all relocated to the Village. Even in the village there was no money for School. Aunties and Uncles came to our rescue taking each of my siblings leaving just me and my immediate junior brother and the twins last born. After 1 year in the village under all form of untold hardship at a tender age, my mum got a job in a private hospital in osina with a meagre salary (Nurses are suffering in this country).
Opportunity came my way as I got Admission into Rochas Foundation College Owerri which was complete Scholarship from JS1 to SS3 (boarding house) with some grants. The Foundation paid for everything, WAEC, SSCE, JAMB. With God on my side, I made my papers at one sitting and got admission to read Medicine and Surgery in UNIZIK. Even as ex students of the foundation, the foundation never left us alone, presenting us with cheque of #50k (2009-2015) annually for the period of Study. God bless Rochas Okorocha. Luckily for me, I got another scholarship in my second year down to my final year, Agbami Scholarship, presenting 200k yearly. So in 2015, I became a medical doctor and worked in various pp after my housemanship and Nysc. My junior brother became a barrister. My senior brother too is a medical doctor. My mother also got a job in Imo State Local government service currently working as a Senior Matron in a comprehensive health center. My brother is post plab 2 currently waiting for Covid 19 to settle down to jappa from this country. I'm currently doing my residency training in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. My four siblings still in School anyway but things are much better now. My Dad still owns a small shop to pass time anyway.

We were so poor...I could not go to uni when all my friends were.
Here's what helped....
1. I read Lots of books. Motivational books. Business books. Marketing books. One that helped me know there was more to life was Robert Schuller book 'Tough times don't last but tough people do'. I borrowed a foto copied version from a friend. That was in 1997. I would Starve myself so I can buy books. Sometimes I foto copy from other people or borrow it.
By 2007...i stumbled on some CDs by Sam Adeyemi and he advised the best way to get out of poverty is to learn a skill and make money from it.
2. I learnt a skill. That paid lots of money. I learnt copywriting. Online marketing. Direct response marketing. I ready everything and watched all videos I could find online by Frank Kern....Dan Kennedy and started applying it.
3. I would read a lot about rich people. Wht they do. What houses they buy....what business they run. How they make money.
4. I would also read any business book. Financial newspapers. I am that person that would buy a newspaper to see the adverts in it and trace what those companies do.
Overtime...I started making money. Made first million in 2008. And then just rinse and repeat.
I have lost millions too. But a lot better now financially. Travelled the world. Met lot of people. Built contact.
And at the ripe age of 35 got a degree from a foreign University.
Funny enough....that degree is now useless. Even in full time employment in my country of residence...i have never been asked for the certificate. What matters most is my skills. Your story inspires me sir. I think there's a lot I can learn from you and I would love to connect with you sir. Please how can I get in touch with you? My WhatsApp number is 08106395732.

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.

I was raised in a family of 10. At a point I was sent home from my school because no money for school fees. I hawk murchiya (pardon me I don't know the name in English),
After my secondary I moved to Abuja to hustle. At a point I got a job in a business center where I was to be paid N4k a month as salary. But 4 months in the job I wasn't paid a dime as salary. How I survive, only God knows. One time I could no afford money to even eat. So my friend and I will go inside bush to go and pluck unriped guava just to survive for that day. Let me also add that I was sleeping inside in a saloon. I always sleep whenever the owner of the salon finishes for the day. I will spray a clothe on the floor to sleep, no pillow, no nothing inside the shop.
Time past, I gather small money which I used to go write JAMB. On the day of the JAMB, after the exam, I didn't have transport money to come back. I just went there, without even thinking how I am going to come back. So what I did was to beg one man who brought his children with his car. As God will have it, they were going close to where I live.
JAMB result came out I score 191. Hmm what do I say. Live goes on. To my greatest surprise I got admitted into ABU, Zaria with the result.
In the university I didn't have money for accommodation, so I had to squat with other students because I used my savings to pay for the school fees. While in the university, sometimes I go hustle outside campus just to get money to survive.
As time goes one, I was able to secured 2 scholarships which has helped me complete my university and came out with 2.1.
Today I am a graduate, owned a car, and now i am into freelancing - website development and graphics design.
In all these I give God the glory and I am still hoping for better life ahead. This is so touching wallahi. Alhamdulillah, you made it. 1 Like |

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. This one sound too good to be true. suspect lie mohammed 1 Like 1 Share |

My father admonished me at the age of 10 when I was in primary 4 due to poverty to start carrying load for people in the market with basket during the weekend as I was too young to push wheelbarrow. He had to wake me up before 6am to leave house and I have to trek passing through village streams to locate the city market before 8am when market resumes. From the money made I have to save in piggy bank so I can buy books for my elementary education. My father made me believe then that men does not rub cream. Time reached and I had different mindset and I had to start rubbing red palm oil as my cream since I can't think of buying cream. Dust & red small ants always glue to my body by then and I never knew why. At the age of 13, I passed common entrance and commenced secondary education in a community boys secondary school in a far away village. During school visits while other parents visits with assorted kinds of provisions my mother will trek from my village with garri & palm kernels to visit me in school. I worked as labourer in building sites carrying blocks while sleeping in hospital where my father died years back since I don't have any home to return to except my far away village. Any money my mother dashes me I will trek to nearby village market to buy rice, oil and salt and keep in my dormitory locker. In the evening hours sometimes I will sneak into bush in search of utu (special rare fruits in IBO land for monkeys but edible to humans) I will pluck, eat & eat to my satisfaction before returning back to dormitory. I cook my palm oil rice inside the bush with empty powder milk container found in school dust bins as pot with dry woods and carrying water along in bread water proof. I always use dry sand to rub on my injuries whenever I get wound on my foot believing it is my affordable medication and it heals me. I trek bare footed into nearby village visiting family believed to relates to my family in one way or the other in search of food. At age 16, I was admitted into Government Technical College where I stayed only one year and ran out of school to the village due to hunger and no school fees. My mother gave me her last money to travel to city to look for work since she cannot afford giving me school fees. Through paid agents I secured job in a hotel and worked as cleaner, room boy eating remaining foods from guests, assistant bar boy & later became kitchen assistant just in less than 6 months. I returned back to school when I have saved some money to buy my books and not even school fees. My newly married senior sister (first daughter) staying in Lagos through her husband picked me up and since then my life never the same. Now working many years since then in oil industry. Married with kids, Have multiple visa to USA for trainings, Visited NASA, Have cars, houses. My children now in Universities and by God's grace am healthy and still working at consultancy level in a multinational company. While thanking God & supporting mankind. My pain now is that my father. That MY FATHER never lived to see me now & his grown grand children today. My mother now is very aged & living with me presently, while that my senior sister is also aged and now visits. I am in my early 50s presently & this is my true story & testimony of my life. 29 Likes 7 Shares |
