Make no decision during frustration,better still,go to ur pastor for advice.

Will suggest you talk it down with your dad. Leave your pastor out of this, please!

pain won't last forever.
Do your best to make things better
and even when it is hard,
try to free your mind and take joy
from "not-too-far-away better days.

thanks friends.....

Go to lagos and hustle. Thank God for things not getting worse: you have your ond (thank God),
your Dad's business once flourished (thank God), you parents are alive (thank God),
nigeria is not at war(thank God),
you are in health .it takes health to hustle (thank God).
God is for you not against you (thank God).

Do these every day, then pray for things to get better.
Pray for your Dad's business , your schooling,future etc.

You read computer science but cant code. Take responsibility for your education and start self teaching.
