Hmmmm why though
All of us here endured those tough times and suffer the indignities which obviously still leave a bad tastes in our mouths when remembered for us TO STAND ON OUR OWN TWO FEET'S without being a financial burden and nuisance to others. Begging is plucking a low hanging fruit, it is not dignifying.

Mine was during my final year in school when my bestie and I were very broke,we had to mix the little garri and little semo we had together and we begged for soup from our neighbour,after eating in the night we had to reserve part of it so that we will eat in the morning before going to class.Unfortunately in the morning there was no kerosene to warm it so we had to eat it cold like that,and after eating it we rubbed powder and went to the class smiling. grin..Thank God it is all in the past now.

That's true, mostly around school and service periods.

But pls o, let's try to help people in desperate situations and circumstances if we can... At times in Life we need to learn to lean on one another.
Begging gnaws at your self esteem and dignity which you will need after the rough patch. It is what we try to protect by these weird stuffs done to survive.

Man has been through shit o. If I talk about the things that have gone into my stomach and out because of hunger ppl go dey wonder whether I still be human being. Sometimes I look at ppl who were born with a silver spoon misbehaving and I'd be like 'I pray you get the true picture of life'

I live in PH. You really try to trek that kyn distance o. I thought I was the only Israelite. I used to trek from UST back gate to Garrison back and forth twice daily in search of IT space, and also every single street and lane in Diobu in search of a teaching job as well, after I finished. I thought it was so bad. But reading your experience, I see say I dey learn work.

I hope you've moved above that level now.

lolz, mine cast shall.
boy life during my ND days was stressful ooo
but man must survive.

based on say no father(he died when i was 2years or so)

and mom ran away after my dad's death, so she left with me with my old grandma(dad's mom) and she was the one that actually trained me up to my ND.

oboy I had to manage ooo, and suffer alot because I don't want to stress grandma,

I remember during ND 2,after borrowing money to pay for my house rent,pay school fees and buy foodstuffs for me, my grandma fell sick, God, she was sick for months ,and during that time my foodstuffs finish, I had to drink garri from morning till night for some weeks, Bros before I know my garri too finish and my gas too.

thank God for some friends who would allow me eat with them, especially one of my guy from Lagos, Thompson,that dude too go good ooo, sometimes he will just look at me and be like Destiny, I know u never eat since,just come my hostel later, some times he will just dash me money (1000, sometimes 500) that guy was my saviour back then.

I remember how I stay awake at night doing other people's programming assignment for 200 naira.

boy those days were horrible,but I survived it, grandma finally well, when I be wan die ,I had to tell her my predicament,she wept that night, only God knows how she did it,she actually wey be foodstuffs to me 3days after I told her, and attached 1000 naira.

I love her like mad, God knows that she has always been my heroin and my dreams na to shower her with everything good in life,once things settle down.

note things worst pass as I take write am, just have to shorten am,if I want talk wetin I don pass through,na another thread I go just go open..
Dont wait till money plenty. Anything u get, do for her
Even cash never dey, just tell her how special she is and that u love her. Put smiles on her face and make her proud by your conduct
People like that dont need much, they are satisfied seeing that you turn out right. Financial reward na just bonus.
Tell her now she is special. Send my love to her

Dont hate your mum. In life, shi*t hsppens. Just take it like thst
