I grew up in a lower middle class South Nigeria family. A well educated mom and a not so well educated but hard working dad. And there is my little sister who is 6 years younger to me. 1 Like 1 Share |

elipheleh Humans and doubts sef. I started learning programming while in University. Graduated from University 2010 Just 2 years ago I was in premium poverty and lack: * I borrowed to marry. I couldn't even pay once or twice or even thrice. It was paid in installments. * I couldn't not afford hotel for honey moon. * I could not afford hospital fee for delivery. * I could not afford house rent. * Even feeding sef was war I begged for all these things. Searched for job for 5 years. Most of my mates were already working. By 2010 was when I got my first job and started working for CONTEC as a Network Engineer till date. I still won't quit this job. My ID card is like Immigration own. And it clears road for me everywhere as far as police and others are concerned. I self taught myself programming for 14 yrs starting in Uni days. Then before getting my first good paying programming job last year 2022. So for 14 years I was building my skills in Computer Languages. If you must know I'm into web development. See my current skills: Php Jquery Laravel Mysql, mariadb Css, html, bootstrap Javascript ReactJS Java, And still learning more... I have other skills: A little of penetration testing. That is hacking Linux server administration Mechanical Engineering graduate. HVAC Computer hardware repairs Computer Networking (that's part of my job in immigrantion) At the remote job in USA, I am the only programmer there. Full stack developer. Pay is 4k usd And I will also take up a role soon as a Mod. That's another 4k US dollar Why am I taking my time to respond to your doubts? I'm only encouraging guys here. Don't give up. Keep working legitimately and honest jobs. Improve your skills all the time. There's no limits. There's nothing God cannot do for you. Just believe. This too can happen to you or anybody 8 Likes |

On the dawn of a Wednesday in 2001, a 2-months old baby was found unconscious, near an incinerator that was strategically located in the outskirts of an undergraduate community deep in the coasts of Nigeria's South. The baby was rescued by concerned residents and given a chance to live. In a couple of months the baby journeyed from the unwholesome nursery of a government hospital to the dilapidated dorm room of a public orphanage where milk was luxury. My autobiography is peculiar. Unlike other children in the orphanage, I wasn't rejected because my parents had died. Far from what my opening paragraph presupposes, my biological parents were legally married under the native law and custom of my people. I was declared a little demon by the clergy of the local church and condemned to die so that my parents can succeed. The mass media then was heavily institutionalized and sad stories like mine couldn't reach succour givers afar. During one of the visits of a Caucasian missionary to the facility that I had accepted as my home, he found interest in me, adopted me and gave me a new home. My adoptive father was scarcely available at home but his church workers took care of me. I ate delicious meals, had my laundry done for me and even at 10 I was a Disney prince who couldn't wash his clothes. Of course, I was the most intelligent kid in class because although I was a child, I knew were I came from. Lol, don't panic! Nothing bad happened afterwards. I was just a normal child without a mother figure. I graduated from an elite university two years ago and I have a decent job and a profitable internet business! My adoptive father is doing fine. God bless him. I'm a very happy person today! 7 Likes |

I would always be grateful that I never had a grass like lifetime. Both my parents weren't so rich but they always made sure we were well fed, our school fees paid on opening day. Things actually took a bad turn in 2012 the year boko Haram started Their bombing because we used to live at Niger state suleja. December period dad took all of us back to the village in his word "one head is more convenient to carry around than when multiple heads are involved". Things took a decline due to changes at where he works he had to come back and start afresh at the village. With the lack of opportunities in the village payment for school fees was becoming a burden. Although I finished from secondary school, I couldn't get further I decided to go for apprenticeship. 7 years of struggle, hardwork and humility. It all is in joy as it has all paid off being a boss on my own. I pray I reach grace soonest. 8 Likes |

VinnyBaba: I proudly identify as a Tinubu supporter because his story resonates with mine: 1. When "fake prophets" chose Obi as a candidate, I was weary of their choice. I hate prophets. 2. When people started questioning Tinubu's background like birth certificate, etc. I felt insulted. People were calling him bastard from Irabiji or whatever. They insulted him for having no known background or childhood friends. I don't have a birth certificate and if I contest in future, the same people would call me a bastard that was picked from a dustbin. I don't even go about telling people about my birth history because I'm really ashamed of it. Everyone who knows me from the age of 9 doesn't know my background. I lie to them. 3. Tinubu married a Christian woman as a Muslim and supported her to become a pastor in church. His children have the choice of becoming Muslims or Christians. If same liberalism was present in my family, my story won't be the same. My family's mentality was that of a spiritual religious war that is pushed in Peter Obi's recent rhetorics and his Catholic vs Anglican antecedent. That aside, I'm sound enough to know the most prepared candidate. 3 Likes |
