FamilyRe: Thanks TeHN by celibate: 7:08am On Sep 25, 2015
Congrats man.
I had my tooth pulled at that general hospital and I don't pray to go back there.

What a cute little baby you have.
FamilyRe: This Is My Story. by celibate(op): 5:04am On Sep 25, 2015
Thanks @Piddgin for your thoughtful suggestion.
I'll like to point out that this thread should not be seen as a mere rant or another sob story.
I sincerely came out to seek wisdom and advice from well meaning familylander and no one should see this as an opportunity to diss or insult another.


My brief job experience.

My very first job outside of family business is to work as a cafe attendant.
This was at a time I couldn't help but do something useful with my time as a teenager.
I was also making gsm calls and selling recharge cards at the same cafe.

The cafe was located somewhere at Surulere and it was managed by a University graduate at that time. I was assigned to assist him when I complained to my church pastor at the time that I needed something to do to stay busy. I the time I started, the business was making barely 3,000 Naira daily but when I joined, the daily income rose to as much as 7,000 Naira.

This is to tell you that I'm quiet good when it comes to customer relations when the needed business structure is available. All I needed to do was smile and be friendly. People in the neighborhood kept coming back.

My family didn't support the idea of me working for someone because according to them, "they could provide all that I wanted."

So it wasn't long before I had to quit the job to focus and gaining admission into the uni.


After leaving school, I also had a brief stint with an ICT firm, however shuttling from the mainland all the way to Ajjah was a bit of a challenge so much that I had to sleep in the office for a whole week sometimes but then I also had to quit due to bad management, not paying salaries on time and petty office politics. I just didn't see the coy staying afloat in the distant future so I had to leave.



Had to chip this in just to paint a clearer picture.
FamilyRe: This Is My Story. by celibate(op):
Thank you MRBrownJ

I will work at certain things you pointed at.

@bellong I appreciate your comment as well.

Nonetheless...I wouldn't like to push blames as I am totally responsible for my life and the choices I've made. So maybe It's high time I turn a blind eye at my siblings even though there are certain things too hard to overlook.

For example, my elder brother who is a banker would be the last person I'd seek advice from as regards business because from my experience, he would always give me reasons why a business wouldn't succeed instead of trying to help explore potentials.

Not once, not twice and the last conversation we had ended by him asking " what if you don't have a brother". Somehow that stuck and I decided not to bother seeking advice on any business idea I have.

That's been almost 5 months now.

I wouldn't like to bore you with all the details now but your comments are very much appreciated @Justdulla

if you don't see anything positive about yourself, then there is no need for anyone encouraging you.
I don't want to say I'm hopeless but that's the way it is for me.

To put things succinctly it seems my siblings have decided to turn their back against me.

But it's not entirely their fault.

Do not give up now that it seemed everywhere is blocked especially with your siblings because you have gotten to that lighted part of the tunnel. Right now all you need is FOCUS and you will get there ok?
To be totally honest, all I see is dark clouds hovering all around me. No light in sight.
FamilyRe: This Is My Story. by celibate(op):
I would also like to request that this should NOT be taken to the front page.

All I need is good quality advice to direct me to right path as I wouldn't like to be bombarded with confusing comments.

I am ready to answer any more questions if needed to have a better picture.
FamilyThis Is My Story. by celibate(op):
I really don't know how best to title this thread but I will try my best to tell my story and be as brief as possible.

I come from a family of six. I'm the fourth child of 3 boys and 3 girls. My immediate elder sister and immediate younger brother were sickle cell patients so we lost both of them due to lack of care.

My dad was a successful business man and I started my early childhood as a silver spoon until he decided to take a new wife. This signaled the beginning of long years of suffering in which the woman eventually left him when the chips were down.

By the time I finished secondary school, I had no one looking out for me though I occasionally traveled to spend the holidays with my mom.

Growing up was tough for me because all the while my step mom was with my dad, she frequently abused me verbally and made me do chores with the house maids.

This took a toll on me emotionally and by the time I grew into a young adult, I was having bouts with depression which affected my academics. I eventually gained admission into the university but I did not fair well academically.

To cut the long story short, I dropped out and made up my mind to follow the entrepreneur's path.

Fortunately, my dad regained himself after a few years of struggling with a little support here and there.

My elder ones also found a firm footing in their career and business.

As it is now. It looks like I'm the only one left who is yet to find direction. I've tried a few things and failed. I'm now gradually slipping back into depression. I no longer feel motivated due to the frustration.

To be honest, I often times fantasize with the thought of ending my life. What bothers me most is that my elder ones don't seem to care, as a matter of fact I'm beginning to feel like I'm no longer part of the family as far as they are concerned.

I am writing this to seek wisdom from family section members on the right steps to take.


All I need now is some sense of direction and possibly rediscover myself. I really desire to make something out of my life. To achieve meaningful success and be a positive source of inspiration despite my travails and what I've been through.


Thanks.

Hi Celibate, there are things I need to adjust in the template. The post body is not showing if you look closely. It's only the post title that's displaying.
When will you be done with the adjustment.

FashionSewing Machine by celibate(op):
I have a manual sewing machine and an electric one which has been stored an home for a long time now.
I initially wanted to sell it off but later changed my mind about it after showing. A tailor who also knows how to fix it.

So I decided to get it working again and give it to someone I know who is in dare need rather than let it rot away in the store room.

I'll post pictures after it has been fixed.
