It's a true live story of myself by God's grace I'll be publishing a book soon with full details on my journey into addiction and recovery because it's all more than what I summarised here. And yes my aim is to make sure someone learns from it and doesn't fall into the trap of drugs through whatsoever pressure and avert future regret . Also I am doing this to build my resilience in recovery as I am now 6 months sober from Drugs I am hoping to be clean for decades and next century to come 😊💜

After years of seeking for admission into the tertiary institution to study a basic health science course which could be either nursing or medicine preferably.
I passed my exams but my name wasn't shortlisted and I started becoming depressed because everyone had high expectations of me to succeed.
After 4 futile years of seeking at age 19 I was down and took solace with my friends in the who were also almost with the same situation as me. We advised each other discussed innovative ideas together little did I know one of us was a smoker but because he doesn't look it I feel maybe it's not really a big deal.

Then one night came while I was still hoping to have my name shortlisted again the first batch came out and my name wasn't there, we were together and the dreaded moment came he offered me to take a puff of the substance with him which was weed. I obliged at first then summoned unrewarding courage to go ahead and that was how I had my first hit of the blunt year 2021. Then my journey into smoking began I started thinking that that was going to calm my feelings then I started doing petty dating online and I felt this was going to help in my assessment, so I got hooked on it immediately. Great news I got admitted into university in less than a month after I picked up the habit and my focus was already dwindling from my academics. Unfortunately one of the guys that lured me In was already a staylite in the same university. So I went to school and we reconnected in less than a week and I started having someone to supply me with weed and roll it up for me and I started meeting more badder friends. Strike came and I decided to focus on my music pursuit and also started making little money from betting and the online Catfish that I started setting up my room gradually till I eventually became quite comfortable and used latest gadgets but was rarely in school I just wanted to be indoors smoking and hustling most times that I didn't even really have much good friend outside my circle and just a couple of friends in school. Then something happened in the year 2023, I went to a family function. My parents have been speculating about me smoking but I've denied it and they believed me, until I met some of my uncles whom I had respect for since childhoodin function I attended with a friend of mine I caught them going into an apartment to smoke and I thought it's an avenue to de-stress too and went in with them and they told me "this is not loud oh na Colorado oh"
I was like really ? I gave it a second thought but the lyrics of a particular trending artist came to my head immediately and said Okay I'll try it. Then I took the last one or two puffs of the stuff and went back to the reception and the world started turning upside down I became dehydrated instantly Thank God I had a soft drink to quench it but I was lost on my seat for almost an hour before it shaked off. But that was just the beginning of my troubles because when the party was going to an end I had already went to a nearby joint to get the stuff again with my friend . And I took it in the late night,my friend rolled it up for me and it was just only me to feast on it and I took a couple drags like 5 times before I knew it I was lost from the world and started hallucinating first and rolled in the floor I could faintly hear my friend trying to resuscitate me until I collapsed and came back shortly. No one in the house knew what has happened but I survived death that night and my friend said I shouldn't try it anymore. We travelled back to school the next day and I stayed away from the substance until when the session was done and I decided to travel to my uncles place In Lagos to chase a better life in Lagos and look for exposure and visibility for my music . Then I became baptized with Colorado because that's what the youths there feed on.... TO BE CONTINUED to keep in touch with the song I made in my ecstatic and lost moments listen to my music. But for now DRUGS IS A SWEET POISON RUN AWAY FOR YOUR LIFE !

The world is random. shit happens to everyone at varying degrees. we look for patterns and wish the randomness of the world can be stopped in our case alone so we created God and assumed talking to him would make less shit and randomness befall us compared to those who don't but it doesn't work. we still fall sick on average like the heathens, we still struggle to get jobs just like heathens we still struggle to set up businesses that most times eventually fail just like the heathens. we die too just like heathens.

Our cases aren't different, we're all in this shit together and we should just embrace the randomness of the world rather than think some imaginary hand would interfere and make your life less random.

Apt and clear

Thanks to y’all for the responses and I’ve picked the useful ones

NB: Graduated from secondary school at age 14 that’s in 2017

Kindly share your thoughts pls

Actually I am in the Darkest moment of my life in fact it’s far more worse than I ever thought. I used to be a brilliant kid back in school and very lively back then and I knew definitely I’ll end up well. But here comes life I’ve been seeking for admission for 5 years now, I’ve studied as much as I can it’s not just happening. Learnt graphics design and was doing well, eventually my laptop got stolen. I did all necessary research before investing my hard earned money into computer business, it crashed during covid era in a couple of months. I worked my ass off in a filling station working for money but fighting depression I ended up losing 70% of my salary. I now live a very sad and boring life and I hide from all of my peers Cos of embarrassment.. I lost my faith in these moments I literally have no one again honestly I’m just enduring life with no direction. I used to think hard-work and consistency guarantees you success but instead the pain gets tougher.. I’m just 19years

No sympathy needed what do you think I can do or share how you overcame yours Thanks

Thanks to everyone for y’all responses i appreciate ive reached the customer care it’ll be resolved in 3days

Forex Trading having being declared as an alternative to unemployment still is being dreaded by lot of youths in Nigeria.
Foreign Exchange (Forex) in a layman term is mainly the trading of different Currencies.. It has it origin majorly traced to the year 1970s in the US
BUT IS FOREX TRADING ADVISABLE FOR YOUTHS?
Forex is absolutely advisable to all not just youths as retail traders.Forex is majorly traded by banks,financial institutions,firms etc but retail traders are those that trade individual enjoying benefits and risks alone.
In a country like Nigeria Forex is the best option amidst other options(as it is controlled by no one)if it’s knowledge is well inculcated and such a trader starts making money without stress.
As interesting as it is, it’s so sad that 70% of Forex Traders lose/quit the market in less than two years of starting or less. I’ve seen people who lost a fortune and end up saying Forex is a scam or it’s simply gambling.
The only problem why people end up losing is ignorance;their focus is on the Money moving up and down,forgetting that Trading is like Driving. If you don’t learn how to drive first but think you’ll be lucky to get it right if you don’t crash the first day you’ll eventually crash someday.Talking from Experience
Yes you can double your money in few weeks in forex and even make more money if you go for the knowledge first with the Experts(validated ones to avoid being scammed)just like I did after losing due to ignorance now I boast of being profitable.
To learn Forex efficiently is costly that’s why scammers bank on people’s ignorance and request low price to in-debt people BEWARE!
My personal advice is this locate a Forex Academy and be sure they’re profitable by checking their results or reviews apply for mentorship and keep making money as you learn and become an expert yourself..
To those who have difficulty locating any I recommend habbyforexacademy @habbyforexacademy.com One of Africa’s best forex academy easy to access and begin your journey..

Uniabuja have kept silent this days while other schools have released their post utme formy, although rumours are ongoing that the school wont write post utme. But let those in the school assist the aspirants with their experiences, past post utme questions and hints on screening exercise..

I need a film's title which will be good for me characterised by school life and so on
