FamilyRe: How Does An Average Nigerian Youth Escape Poverty? by A305: 12:45pm On Aug 25, 2020
Supreme145:
Good day folks, I have been a visitor on nairaland for a while now so far I have really learnt a lot from here, I had to register so as to share my worries here because I know that I can get useful contributions. Please ignore my grammatical blunders,I'm not really good at writing.

I graduated from secondary school in 2010 at the age of 18 and 10 years later I seem to be moving around in circles. After secondary school I was given two options of going to the university or doing business, I chose business without thinking twice I needed money so school can wait.

Two of my uncles raised the sum of 150,000 for me after I was done learning a trade with the condition that I will pay back at the end of the year without interest. Then the ports were closed so I would travel to cotonu to buy male jeans and sold in Nigeria in wholesale. Business was moving well, I tripled my capital that same year by the age of 20 I had already counted my first million, I felt on top of the world, I spent on my family helped in paying house rent and my siblings school fees (I'm the first child), then tragedy struck.

After the second year my uncle whom I was staying with and contributed majority of my capital asked for an account of how I had been running the business which I gave him, I had already returned the other uncle's money by then. After the audit my uncle said he's going to add another money to my capital then after four years he would settle me, I refused citing that apprenticeship wasn't our agreement initially, the mother caused a big issue to the extent it had to be settled in the village. I had to leave my uncle's house to my parents since we couldn't reach a compromise, as for his capital over the years I had borrowed him money on several occasions which was already more than what he gave me as my capital, I forgot the balance and left.

Three months after I left my uncle, my goods was intercepted by customs in Benin, my agent which coincidentally happened to be that my uncle put my goods ( and that of others) in a vehicle carrying second hand tyres from Lagos to the east and everything in the vehicle was confiscated. We spent 5months trying to get the goods back spending the remaining savings I had, it was released after six months but most of the goods was either stolen or sold by customs, I got only around 10% of my seized goods back. I was back to square one.

After all my attempts to raise another capital proved abortive I gave up and started doing menial jobs to survive,my mom would always encourage me that I'm still young and would rise again. Two years after nothing tangible was fort coming, I was dead broke and depressed, I started feeling pressure at home when I couldn't bear it I relocated to port Harcourt in search of greener pastures. I slept in parks and slums till I managed to get a security job with a 15k salary then,I worked for some years and discovered that I wasn't making any progress in life,I wasn't saving anything and was still stagnant. I decided to venture into education, even though it wasn't my first choice at least I would have a certificate to be proud of after some years.

I got admission in the federal university in Benue in 2017 at the age of 25 to study statistics/computer science (bsc ed) it wasn't my choice but time was not on my side , most of my mates then had graduated and even working. My year one was hell, I resumed school with just my bag of cloths, no accommodation nor food stuffs, I slept in lecture halls and sometimes went for lectures without bathing,one time I called my dad and he said if I can't bear it I should abandon the school and come back,I later managed to get someone to squat me in the hostel, I got home during nuga break to meet the news that my dad just bought a land,so this man had money to buy land and allowed me to suffer in school ( he mind sha ).

Fast forward 3 years later and I'm stuck in 300 level not knowing what to do with my life,just being in school is not enough for me, I need to earn money because I became independent at a young age and depending on my parents now is serious giving me a cause for concern. I stayed back in school during the lockdown so I could think about my life, after reading some threads on nairaland I decided to go into programming since I had a semi abacus laptop on it's last legs,I got links to free courses on udemy and also enrolled for free courses on Alison and pirple.

Learning programming brought my joy back,I loved the critical thinking involved and realized I hated it before because of the way it was taught by our lecturers,I started with web development (HTML and CSS) and I observed I was grabbing it quit fast. Data was a problem but I managed the mid night subscription each time I manage to get airtime. I was happy once more cause I could code for hours on an empty stomach and I wouldn't care then tragedy struck again.

My system developed a fault, vertical lines appeared on the screen and it started having difficulty in booting,it finally gave up the ghost a few days later. I tried to improvise by using my phone to code but it was a horrible experience and I gave up. back to square one again,I had to go home and I haven't gotten myself ever since.

How do I break free from this povertyhuh since I came back I have looked for job without luck, I haven't earned a dime since this year since I parted ways with my boss whom I learnt interlocking and concrete stamping under,the man was using me like a slave. Motivational speakers would say there's light at the end of the tunnel but mine looks like a maze/roundabout tunnel. I got home and yahoo is the trending stuff in the area even my younger ones has joined, my younger brother nearly picked 7million before the aza was killed in the dying minute (whatever he means by that), I seem to be the only one among my set that's still broke, I can't even remember the last time I got anything for my self, now I wear my younger brothers cloths and they recharge my phone for me,how long will I continue like this?? ..... I don't want to follow the yahoo band wagon, I'm beginning to lose hope.

Pls I need your comments and advice
You story is touching but then again, I like your zeal towards fending for yourself.

Quit programming.That line of freelance work is saturated already, even on Nairaland people beg to get clients.

Follow these steps...

Go learn how to drive, if you in lagos, get an uber car on rental to sustain yourself and get a laptop. Then, save you some money to get a mentor here on Nairaland to mentor you about Amazon Kindle publishing (obamartins, eliok, bros12345) or learn about fiverr freelancing(puzzynegro, hazzan tazzan, beatmonster).

Either of those two will change your life when you go back to school - I could have taken you up on the Amazon publishing thing but am just not available but I can tell you, it's the direction to go.

Keep fighting, it's hard staying alive, Much harder when you a Nigerian but put in more work till it all works out.

In the face of your misery and misfortunes, I'd say, such is life.

I love this shi t show. There are some intelligent folks here. wow, In less than a nanosecond, this place was turned into a court house full of the prosecutor attorney, defendant attorney, accused, accuser, suits upon suits with no registered case code, jury but a JUDGE is missing.


Now, this is how we will have this straighten out - Mr Vision should do well to provide receipts of the hospital bill which he claim to have previously paid; this should be done (not to discredit the first accuser only) but to also permanently exonerate himself from the perceived deception and probably get the help he solicits for.


Provision of those receipts should be his only leverage to win the Jury's heart instead of his 'proverbial creek' rebuttal

SportsRe: Why And When Did You Start Supporting Your Favorite Football Club? by A305:
Interesting thread.

I guess my love affair with Chelsea fc started in 2005/2006 after I briefly flirted with Bacelona FC.

It all began when I was an avid newpapers reader in that period of my life, each time I picked a newspaper to read news and matters arising, when I get to the sport/football page and glance at the English Premier league table One club with an unpopular name at the time use to be top of that table every week - l initially fell in love with the name and this club never seems to drop from that number 1 spot on that table for several weeks into months.

Keep in mind, I wasn't watching football at the time nor did I ever have any access to watching the premier league (we didn't have DSTV), I just know lots of people (men) take interest in football and I also do love playing as well and could recognize some popular names like Batistuta, Ortega, Ronaldo and the likes due to the world cup competition.

Club football was relatively new to me at that period in my life and the only club I stuck with but will NEVER admit i loved was Bacelona, this was because Ronaldinho; Man was a football god at the time, I loved him and still do. Ronaldinho made me loved the idea of picking Barcelona as a favourite club.

If laliga was as popular in the Nigeria media at that time, I would have stuck with them but English premier league dominated the Nigerian media more.

So basically, The moment of truth came when Chelsea finally squared up to Bacelona in the Champions league - I just loved the ROMAN ARMY era of Chelsea fc and their winning ways, it was a tough decision, however, I was neutral during that match but I could never deny the love for Chelsea at that point. Lots of chelsea players influenced my decision to have joined them and i remember watching their highlights on their journey to lifting the league, players like:

Drogba
Hernan Crespo
Darmen Duff
Celestine Babayaro
Lampard Frank
Baba Terrible Terry
Geremi njitap
Arjen Robben (man was playing like Ronaldo and Messi combined at the time)
Gudijossen
Kezman
Joecole
Ricardo Calvarho.


I still love Chelsea till date and my daughter is will be named Chelsea. I love Roman Abramovic too.

You can sell to an exchanger here once you make withdrawal.

I can help you with contacts of legit exchangers to avoid falling prey to scammers.

Alternatively, you can withdraw the fund to the bank account linked to your payoneer account. Just log in to payoneer and click on withdraw and follow the instructions.

Withdrawal to bank account offers lower rates than what exchangers can offer you. I sell my fund for up to 415/$ to exchangers
please suggest the best exchanger with best rate like that 415$ here on Nairaland. I really need to change exchanger.

Hope he's fast and legit too?

I love waist beads on them pretty girls - it easily captivate men lust by stimulating arousal even in public.

Of course this happens in the mind - Now as a male having a bad day and happens to sight a pretty lady with beads on, exuding all that sexual allure; This in my opinion, is one of the reasons why women is the highest form of art.

As an atheist, sometimes I feel, Jesus Christ is hating that I got mad love for satan but i don't believe in satan either.

But to say the truth kwa --- God is just too insecure that he had to say many filth against satan in the Bible and he said, if you fu ck with satan, you going to hell. VERY insecure piece of thrash.

Now, Satan didn't inspire no one to write any book about or againt God, so how are we not SURE God is truly the bad guy, lying against satan using the Bible because he is such an insecure control freak.
