Masturbation , this demon was a witch that held me bound for years...!

Not physical neither was it spiritual, but my subconscious mind wouldn't let me rest when ever this demon got a field day in me.....

But I'm clearly a testimony now....

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.

what went wrong?lasota or gumboro failure?
My own set back was when I lost a job due to covid pandemic,had to use the little amount I sAved to get 100docs of broilers,I couldn't fund their feeding,I became smuggler around the border area just to feed my birds,but thank God Christmas is around the corner,can't wait to start something else,too hard and risky

This is good... Now push it a step further by uploading a sample design advertising your services, still on the signature, such that whenever you make a comment, it must come up.

It would show prospective clients the quality of your work whilst advertising your service.

Fiverr and upwork are also platforms you can try out.

Thanks so much for this bro

Because if I have the mind that guys out here in the street have, I will not be broke and frustrated with my life right now.
Most of the guys I grew up with are into internet fraud(yahoo boys).
From what I see, they are happy. They can afford things they want.
They have been on my neck since April to come and join them in their hustle, as I am their Gee and they want me to have money(that's what they do say). They even offered to take care of my feeding, take care of me, that I should just go over and stay with them to learn their craft..... But meehhn, my mind no just carry the thing. I mean,,, I can't stand causing harm or sadness to another person because I want to make money. I don't know how they manage to do that but I wish I could too.
For this reason my guys are all unhappy with me, so I have been living in seclusion but anyway...

I just need to leave this environment fast. It's not an environment I can stay and be focused on my career. ASUU will soon call off strike though

P.m me for having faith in God he wouldn't let you down pls message me

Ajiswaggs:
4 years ago, I was into online business(Ponzi,MLM and so on). I was making gains from it not until greed set in that i decided to use all my savings both in Naira and bitcoin to invest in MMM which is close to 4Million. Two days to get help from MMM na so them Crash. I nearly commit sucide. I got depressed and was feeling ashamed to relate with people again. I had to use the last 150k in my account to process admission in one northern school for my HND program.

Finally, i later enter North to continue my program but the sufferness for there na part two inside very hot sun. Na trek i dey trek from my logde to school inside very hot sun everyday. I drink garri sotey my eyeball don deep inside. Everyone was complaining if i get sickness or something but them no know wetin i dey pass through. After 1year in my lodge, i was not able to renew the money after my rent expired, i beg my landlord to give me little time for me to travel back south and hustle, then i will travel the money to him (30k) but he refused. He locked my room with all my documents one week close to my first semester exam (Final year). I beg and beg before he reopen the room and he said he gave me 4days to provide payment even though na steal i go steal. He utter one statement which made have had Hatred for NUPE tribe till today, he said even if God come down from heaven he no go reopen that room if he no get the money within 4 days. To cut the long story short, i sneaked out from that compound with all my properties in the midnight to scot with a friend close to school area.

I really appreciate my friend for accepting and saving me for that moment. But my guy later Bleep up sha. Though i told him i will only scot with him for the remaining 2½ Weeks to complete our exam. So by next session i will get my own apartment again. Within 3days of staying with him, my guy don dey give me attitude, complaining of this and that, telling me his gf wan come spend days with him and all that. Funniest thing is he won't discuss this to me if we are in the room together, after he went out, he will dropping whatsapp messages to me complaining this and that. I suffer sotey i work in pure water factory for a whole night just to get paid of 200 naira.

During the vacation period, i came back to south to hustle. I went back to my online hustle then started hustling day and night, luckily for me my hustle started paying off gradually, I was able to raise 150k+ plus before resuming next session, i rented a self contain apartment and full electronics inside cuz the last user is get to pack his properties, throughout my second semester i no trek or eat useless food, i was enjoying my online biz, my class attendance was not frequent cuz all the lecture sef na scam...i dey use that time to hustle online in my room. My best Music then is Uyo Meyo by Teni. I just they play am every minute. The music was just giving me Motivation to strive harder.

Glory be to God for lifting me back to feet again, Made over 5million within the space of 1year, bought lands for myself and my elder bro, Clear my mom debts, Gave my dad, mom, bro and sis some cash to invest in there business, and i also continue saving any little thing i earn online. Thank God for making me a millionaire at my young age. And i pray for all of you struggling out there, you will all be favoured in Jesus name.

Last 4years i was depressed, sad, mocked by friends behind me cuz i no get cloths, but today God has provided everything for me in excess. Most of them begging me to help them. Glory be God, can't thank you enough.

I can relate with this story... God continue to bless and increase you bro

In similar situation. I understand you. Mine is, I'm tech savvy. I can hack, bypass and I know alot about computer stuffs (intermediate programmer). In fact I'm very intelligent not trying to hype myself. My friends do pester me to join the Yahoo thing but I don't have the mind. My conscience won't let me sleep. In fact, my childhood friend whom we used to hustle together is getting married soon. He has two houses and 2 cars already. All through this yahoo.

I just want to leave this environment and go back to complete my studies. In my finals. I know I'm better than this yahoo thing and can't stoop so low to scamming ppl of their hard earned money.

God help us that have good heart.

Assuming he was not showing me attittude when i dey with his room, e for don gather knowledge from me. Now we are far from each other and i don't think he would be able to cope cuz even me sef i spent alot of time to master it on my own.

You better be grateful to him in some kind of way.

If he didn't show you attitude you will be relaxed and you won't hustle more, his attitude pushed you to hustle more.
