November 11th 2001...


A day I will never forget, a day my life took a nose dive, a day I would have been dead and gone but the scars of that fateful day remains with me till date.

But I thank GOD for life and I am eternally grateful to GOD for making me triumph against all odds.

I won't bother you all with the details.

You had an accident and was very broke . You were even fed by a mama put woman free of charge. You're yet to repay the woman...lol

codeSavant:
December 2017 just a few weeks to Christmas I lost all of my birds (200 layers and 100 broilers). It was an extremely sad event.

Jesus!!! what could be the cause?

Not takin the opportunity I had to be at the greatest level due to peer pressure. Tho I am back on my feet

seyicodes:
Getting angry.. it almost ruined my relationship. I don't know if this is spiritual problem .. but the thing is anytime I think of settling down.. one thing will happen that will make me say something that will ruin the relationship. And what I will say will be unforgivable. I am still begging my fiancee since 4 days ago for the statement I uttered.

what statement did you utter?

PMPSolutions:
I got a contract in Lagos from a company to train their technical staff on how to build power inverters from scratch! The training was to commence in April and the contract was huge (running into millions of naira).

Then COVID struck, the CEO of the company died in August. Na so arrangement take scatter!

But in all, i thank God for life!

oboy

If I overcome this year ehn!


Feel like am currently trying to overcome the setback though.


Writing my final exams, never paid feeds and don't even know how to so I won't drop out, ave met pastors but they're talking just preaching and talking about destiny helpers, i even lamented on nairaland lastweek by posting two consecutive times yet nothing, ave decided I won't say anything again, let the worst that will happen reveal itself.


To those going through rough times, receive strength.

2020 na bastard!

ambosss:
Got married October 2019, wife died October 2020 (childbirth)
Family wahala
WHO AM I TO QUESTION GOD.
But I am strong again.

Sad! May her soul rest in Peace.

nairalee:
My foremost setback came on my birthday.

I mean my birth date.

The day wey dem born me.

I was like "why everywhere hot and dey smell like this? Abi we dey summer for America?"

Lo and behold they said I was born a Nigerian.

Biggest setback EVERRR.

By now I for be one bad ass American gigolo dey flex for beach and malls

On the contrary, you probably would have been born in the ghetto downtown and would likely have lost your life to gangsters selling cracks.

fykes:
Lost my fiancee on my wedding day.

Set me back so many years..

you mean the same day of the wedding? how did it happened?

UnBanEbenezer:
my own worse oh, If I share you mine you'll be so sad

I enter secondary school 1998, suppose finished by 2004 but I finish 2007, I gain admission to university 2014 but I thank God I don't have extra year in uni because I don't mingle with bad friends who can ruin my life just as it happens in secondary school

Etinosa12345:
Ahh

omo that one weak me. as in eh I for don lose my sanity since

vykdevil:
I'm still young. so i think i never start
but one way dey still pain me was caused by my mere carelessness or ll i call it stupidity
after finishing secondary school. bought jamb form. filled it nd was waiting to b called bk to do the reprinting but i had many Sim cards nd was supposed to get a msg on when to submit my form for the reprinting..
unfortunately the particular sim i used to register for jamb wasn't in my phone when jamb sent the msg for reprinting.
to cut the long story short. i saw the msg a day after the deadline for the form submission nd the refused to take it so all my dreams about getting admission tht yr was dashed nd to make it worse it ws with a one day deadline. after all the sleepless nights i had reading for the exam
i was a kid so it ws a lot to bear
i culdnt recover for days

jamb do reschedule for those that missed their dates?

Jaylord12:


Bro na the same boat I dey with you

i don't want to lose this girl.

WallStreetfx:
Thunder strike my laptop that I was using to learn online business

You don't mean it.

JIREN01:
what statement did you utter?

Never mind bro.

UnBanEbenezer:
omo that one weak me. as in eh I for don lose my sanity since

The Guy try ooo... Me I for depressed for years

ethicallyright:

You had an accident and was very broke . You were even fed by a mama put woman free of charge. You're yet to repay the woman...lol

My guy the accident changed everything as in everything...

Banks wey dey hold my millions no even fit borrow me 500k to boost my business... I was bedridden for months... I practically learnt to walk again like a toddler...

Hmmmmm! What a terrible set back.

Nackzy:
Graduating as a geologist and end up not working even as a lecturer or in a firm that's related to what i studied

and this is a setback? The CEO of most banks did not study banking and finance at the undergraduate level. I studied pharmacy and I'm not even practising despite pressures from all angles. Most rich men don't even have a degree to start with. In as much you're doing well for yourself, count that out as a setback. By the way, if you were a lecturer, you probably would be in a huge debt or struggling to survive due to the recent ASUU strike. Believe me, they aren't having it easy.

Someone promised me a job in lagos, if I can work my NYSc to lag
I worked it with close to 60k
The person disappointed
Now I am left with high transportation, traffic, high rent cost to deal with..
See eeh, don't depend on anybody for anything in this life .

fykes:

Its well my brother....so many people go thru so many things in life... I believe God gives the greatest battles to his strongest warriors

Mr.Fykes i can fill your pain the very day it happen....
.
Wait o
.
What really cause the incident ? .. (sorry to bring back old memories)

Kaiser20:

Been a Nigerian is never a set back, the set back is for those who believe that they can never have growth in Nigeria

Being a Nigerian is a major setback.

Know this and know peace.

spoked:
Went to the church of one false dribbling prophet....


I sow seed no be small....Over two million of tithe and seems...

When I left the church, I broke, later squatted...

I will rise again..

I don wise in Jesus name. Amen

WallStreetfx:
Thunder strike my laptop that I was using to learn online business

lol the laptop I've been using to earn online via fiverr and up work with my graphics design and writing articles, my sis came and took it away, now I'm as broke as hell and jobs nor dey

Betting and masturbation, the masturbation part is history now but the betting part is my problem, it always makes me broke. I really need help.

akanbiaa:
Not having enough time to spend with my late Mum as an only child and for her not witnessing so many good memorable milestones that have happened to me and those yet to happen God willing in my life, despite these I am still ever grateful to my Creator for the gift of life and his infinite mercies, amongst the favors of my Creator which shall I deny?

this actually hurts

loss my brother's wife when my brother was seriously ill and no one to help.

two months later loss my elder brother leaving us with three children.

few years later, my elder sister battling with cancer

Loss huge amount of money to fraudsters that claimed to give me government job.

Dharniel600:

TerrorSquad147:
I regret ever starting in the first place, I thank God I've stopped it now, although the temptation do arise especially when I'm alone and idle.
