This post really broke me!! I'm legit crying here while reading through the thread. The suffering in this country is just too much. How our leaders turn blind eyes to our predicaments baffles me.....how are they so wicked and mean?? many graduates without nothing to do, no work, nothing nothing and I fall in this category....it's just too depressing. I'm too broke and angry right now to even share any experience I've had in the past. Please anybody that can help connect me to any work in Aba, Ph and environs, I'll be eternally grateful. I'm a graduate of Biochemistry (2.1).

To the guys helping people here, God bless ya'll!!!

So I took my time to read all post of 24 pages on this thread. I was very emotional at some point, and I laughed really hard at some point. I can relate to almost all broke moments on this thread, especially those ones of university days. Hunger isn't something anyone can put up with, no matter how hardened you are, all the hardness isn't for hunger. Hunger has the will power to break anyone. People are really suffering. Chatinent, somehow among others, may God replenish you...

Wow. Finally i see someone with a conscience like mine. It can be terrible sometimes i swear. I had same experience years ago. It was a little kid, i had #100 left on a Saturday morning, the kid looked really hungry. I didnt know how to look for change. I just closed my eyes and passed the more i walked the more the beating increased, i looked back and saw some fine ladies coming when i wanted to go back and give the boy the money. My mind was telling me not to (it would look like show off, that was more like an excuse tho). Long story short i had to go back after getting home to search for that little boy. I felt like a heavy burden was lifted off me after that although the next two days were hell for me.
I see my conscience as a blesing sometimes cause i have quite the temper.

That was amazing of you. It's always a blessing to give than to receive.
It might tarry but surely you'll be rewarded somehow someday Sir.

Hello fam,

At one point or the other, we have been broke. Do share what it was like and how you overcame it. Share the challenge too.


Mine: To cut it short, mine was a day I'll never forget. sad A bank rubbbished me by blocking my account and giving me procedures plus I was in a new location.


That very day made me realize that food is the only necessity in life. Hungered for three whole days! Was literally shaking like a drunken master. All my legs felt numb. I began remembering the good old days I ate good food.



I nearly licked toothpaste. sad


I broke a vow to never beg that day.


#Hungerbad.

It amazes me that girls with new nails n new weave can be crying for food money:/
I have a friend she does the same. Buys diff weave all the time, lashes, nails and makeup n waist trainer n two days later cries of hunger:/
I don't like girls like that. There's ppl who need it more but they waste money on uneccasary things when they have no money for food. Fishbrain girls

You can never understand what it really means to be broke until you have seen millions before experiencing hardship.

From a millionaire at 26 to nothing after I had a terrible autocrash that left me incapacitated for months and It happened shortly after I had invested so much in getting a new office apartment and bought some computers for a cyber cafe business in those days when it was still the real deal.

I spent more than a year recuperating and I became so broke that I was drinking water from morning till night yet nobody knew cos I was always full of smiles. A case of seriously suffering and smiling and I became so lean. The worst part was that I'm the type who hardly disturbs anyone with my problems.

I sold all I had just to feed and the office I rented became a waste cos I was not in good shape to go anywhere.

It got to a point that I called a food hawker in my area and secretly begged her to start selling food for me just once a day that any day I have money...i was not even sure when I will have but surprisingly she said she will be giving me free... It was as if I won a jackpot.

GOD BLESS HER WHERE EVER SHE MAY BE and too Bad I can't even identify her anymore.

No matter what you are going through today please be positive cos weeping may last for a time but you will surely overcome.

Hmmmmm! What a nostalgic feeling.
    
Isnt there a way we can find her?

I am intrested to pay her back the good deeds

she did

Cant even count.

How many will I start talking about now ....OK I'll just talk about one of those days at school.

Was hungry for my whole birthday, if not that my room mate eventually cooked, I would have starved the whole day. I was so grateful that she cooked, i was weak. When I ate eh, my roomie was like "thought you used to select food that you like? undecided angry".

Lol

There were many other times like that anyway. The worst is being in school where everyone is a stranger and no one can help you out. Just stranded.

The birthday one is just a random reference, can't start talking about every single time here.

You can't ask your fellow human for help even when you're "dying", but you can " conveniently" give out your last dime; what do you call that if not pride?
There's a term for people who love to "save" others, but hate to be "saved", I just don't know it yet.
They expect you to eat their food, but can't eat yours.
They love to be the saviour of others because it makes them feel good about themselves. What do you call that?
If you can't ask me for help, don't help me!

Wtf.
Sum ppl do feel good helping others so what. No matter their reasons atleast the person in need is being helped.
Jus cos someone dnt like asking for help but will help another doesn't make them a bad person undecided

A long Story this is.

In the late 90s, I was a young handsome young man. I just finished from the Polytechnic and I was self-employed. I be contractor i dey collect house painting jobs.

I would get the jobs and employ painters. I only directed them and supervised.

Around that time, I was a member of the British Council Library Ibadan. I used to go there to borrow books and to read.

One day, I met a pretty young lady in between the book shelves. The way she looked at me showed she was intrested in me too. So, I told her how beautiful she looked and voilà! We became friends.
Not wasting time I asked her for a lunch date and she accepted on the spot. We fixed the time for 12pm the next two days.

I was handling a house painting at that time and we were almost done with the job. I was banking on the balance payment to trip the babe who was a young Lawyer.
Somehow my balance was delayed till the same day of the lunch date. The day came and I was all dressed up.
I planned it that, I would branch at the house of my client, collect the money and leave to get my new babe.
We were supposed to meet at the British Council Library and leave from there to an eatry within town.

All dressed up, I got to the clients house to collect money and what I would hear from the man was. "Oga, your boys did not touch a particular area under the ceiling outside. Go behind the house and check." I nearly cursed the man. Why didn't he check the house before my workers left.

I went out and it was a small area under the ceiling. The house was a storey building. I had never climbed a ladder that high and if I didn't do it, I won't be paid. I checked time and I saw that I could still beat the date time.
The paint we used was still remaining and there was a brush in one of the cans. I rushed behind the house and climbed the ladder. I kept praying and calling Jesus to help me so I won't fall. It was my first time climbing that high.

In minutes I was through. My cloth don dirty small but I no mind. Make I just collect myoney and fly out.

I collected the money rushed out and picked a taxi, to cut the long story short I was ten minutes late and rimmediately I got there, I rushed inside the library. I looked everywhere but the babe no dey.
I walked out and greeted the security guys. They knew me and the girl too. " bros wetin happen " one of them said.
"I have a date with a lady I supposed to meet at 12pm," I told them .

"Is it the Lawyer" the security asked.

"Yes the Lawyer" I answered wondering how they guessed right despite the crowd that throng the place.

"Aah! no wonder she dressed well today and we were even teasing her," they said and my heart sank.

"She has gone," one of them said.
"You too why didn't you come on time?" One of them asked and I told them I was delayed somewhere.

It was 12:10pm and I was only 10minutes late.

There was no mobile phone but they had a land phone so I took another taxi drop to the NITEL office at another end of town.

When I called it was her brother that picked it. "Jumoke is not around" he said.
My mind told me she was disappointed. That she only did.not want to speak to me.
But is it this bad? I asked myself

I did not leave NITEL office and I called again and again telling the guy to help me tell her I was sorry. But this lady didn't pick my call.

Eventually, I left for home angry with myself. I should have borrowed money and make the date to pay back when I collect the balance from my client.

That was how I lost the babe because I was broke.

It was a big lesson for me.

Never allow a girl get to the venue of a date before you. Dont make a lady wait.

They believe it makes them look desperate and cheap.

10minutes of lateness and she took me as unserious . That was unfair.

If U like a guy U dnt mind waiting. Sum girls form pride n think they too good to wait:-/

Re: Share Your Worst Broke Moments Experiences In Life by ChukChinCol(m): 9:25am On Nov 01, 2020
I am always broke. No be joke. I have plenty sorry stories at my finger tip. Let me not go far, this one happened during the lockdown. Before the lockdown I have no savings. So inside the lockdown was hell. I eat just once a day by parasiting my friends. I have this neighbor who believe in me so much. He knows that I am broke and shy, he never eat without calling me. But he is married with 3 kids. At times when he invites me to come eat with him, his kids like eating with daddy, they will come and put hand even if they have already eaten. I have no choice but to join the family and eat. And this my guy is just an okada man. His bike is deadbeat. But he has a large heart. There is another woman selling restaurant around. That woman is my second saviour. Every evening they will boil and pound banga against tomorrow soup. The kernel they throw near my window. Do you know I wait desperately for these kernels, as soon as they throw it around 8-9pm I will go and pick all and hide it somewhere because by tomorrow morning my compound children will feast on them. In the morning I will carry my hammer, enter backyard and begin to deal with the kernels one by one. I swallow both the juice and the chaff. Then I drink enough water and that's my breakfast. Then I wait for my okada friend for my lunch or dinner. This routine happened for months not days.
