Being broke in school is inevitable we all went through that. Being broke after school with nobody but ur skill and guts to survive is the real sh!t... I remember when i lost my job in abj and all i could think of was how to eat cos i hardly used my kitchen while i was still employed... i could go for days without food and on some days my Tiv girls would invite me over to their different places to eat, sleep over i had to be fvcking them in return. Sh!t got real when my rent expired i can't even begin to imagine the places i slept just to wake up and see the sun. Then i remembered the other bizness i said i would forget when i got employed. All through the hard times i sold my tv set,home theater and some other stuffs just to be afloat but i never gave up my lappy. God knows it wasn't my fault that i went back to the matter and not too long something happened for me.. I called the fvcking landlord that failed to believe me and invited the f00l over to a little hotel that used to offer me free bed once once in those trying times.. The mumu still drank with me and i gave him some small money to hold bcoz them been done dey narrate my matter dey go. Later that day i got to my former compound and all the little kids who missed me ran towards me.. na 1k each i just dey bust them u need to see the faces of those back biters them

Those were the fvcking dark days...

luckygeee:
had an extra year in school and couldnt summon the courage to tell my parents so i came up with a lie and could not ask them for money afterwards. was so broke that i would go out to pluck unripe banana and store in my bag just so i can eat. garri was even a luxury and i had to enjoy every moment if i cld see garri to drink. had to treck long distances in the entire city on an empty stomach so i can get one or two tutorial centers to teach. that saved my life as i had more than enough to spare as i was making at least 2k daily. it really wasnt easy

during my undergraduate in Unilorin, I was so broke that I borrowed 1200 from my neighbor to prepare a pot of stew with rice for the weekend, I woke up the next day (saturday) to find a dead rat drown inside the fresh stew...I was so angry I had to re-kill the rat over and over. thank God for my understanding neighbor.

You didn't even stand in the queue for your 800 and you're complaining. What about me that took my withdrawal booklet to the hall for #600?

LordHiffy:
0 in my pocket, 0 in my bank account. I had to drink only garri for like 4-5days consecutively. Thank God i had garri at home.

eTECTIVe:
I was so broke at some point I couldn't even afford ordinary sleep

stupidity:
I was expecting to see someone talked about eating from friends and neighbors for the full month or more than.


You don carry spoon visit person before just to ease looking for spoon to chop rice or garri when ready. My friends then Dey hide their spoons and plate so you can’t just come in and join the party.


No one here locate where the aroma from cooking is coming from? You’d have to go there and book ticket for your empty stomach


You don buy food and provisions for hand sotay you stopped showing your face at the shop to avoid embarrassment. If money show just go clear bills


Who don chop white rice like that before? No maggi, no oil, nothing nothing. Just to kill hunger, boil the rice and chop.



Going to uninvited occasions like burial, marriages, birthdays, etc.

Hunger beat me sotay, I Dey form sick make neighbors for pity me dash me money.


School life. Good old days abi na bad old days I go call am

Reading all these made me reminisce.

This was last year. Easter period.
The major theme when I called home for money was to pray and when money would be finally sent, asked to manage.

I remember, they sent me transport. One thing led to another and I used it to play bet and lost. (As a broke boy, I believed betting can give me some money).

I didn't know how to call home and tell them. I was penniless, everyone has travelled back home. I was practically the only person in my lodge..
I had garri and small sugar(thankfully). That was what I was taking till it finished.. I finally summoned courage and told them that I didn't have transport fare.


After shouting and stuff, my dad refused to send another one. I think it was my sister that sent money across.
I happily trekked to the ATM to withdraw, after standing in queue, I found out I forgot my card at home. I had to trek back under the hot sun .

I searched everywhere, I couldn't find the card, I broke down and wept. I was already looking like a skeleton.
I didn't eat for 2 days uninterrupted.

Finally on Easter Sunday, I had to beg one woman for food.


Luckily nepa gave constant light, so I watched movies on my laptop.
I couldn't walk on the road, because I was staggering.
I was forced to sell my 32gb memory card for 800 naira just to eat.. .

Man don suffer for thus life oo.
I contemplated suicide. Even my phone was misbehaving, I angrily smashed it.
Nothing was going my way.
It was holiday period, so banks were not open so I could use withdrawal slip.


Thank God for life sha

Just last year, exam period, first semester 300 level, was extremely broke and couldn't call home cuz I know Mummcy doesn't have I don't want to add to her trouble. Had to trek into people's farm to plug unripe mango.
During my 200 level I think, was ill and broke, went to the school clinic, doctor said it's malaria. Told nurse to give me some drugs and two injections. Nurse asked if I had something for break fast, told her no. She refused injecting me. Went back to my Lodge, drank enough water and returned back to clinic. Got injected after lying I took bread and tea. I almost fainted after taking those injections. Felt dizzy cuz I had nothing in my stomach.


We are still en route to that promise land. We are getting there
