HELLO GUYS...

i wanted to update today on where i stop on my last topic yesterday, and how bobby finally made it..... But i want to give people today to digest it and have some reflection on the stories so far, because i believe some people may just start making decisions on what have be writing on this thread.

And please am here to use my "sweet/bitter " stories to elevate people who are down and thinking it is all over.

Also please guys am not comparing " Ivory coast " economy to any where in the world. But if u truly followed my thread from page 1 to 9, you will find out how i stated the challenges i had gone through but patience made me a winner ( no place is easy even america)

Please guys let pick on the positive that can make us want to try than to pick the ones that will make u doubt yourself and God

Like i said tomorrow by 11 am i will continue from where i stopped.

Stay tuned guys...

Thanks.
Thanks bro

Good evening everyone, like i promise to update on a different topic away from my self. And am here to talk about my friends in Abidjan and one of them in particular called "Bobby."

If u followed my thread from page one u must have learnt that i am also using this thread to motivate people who feel they are too DOWN to go UP. So i am here to motivate u to start from anywhere.

His name is " Bobby " he is in his late 30s if not 40 now. We are all 4 friends and i am the youngest, in fact i did not come close to their age but because i am smart and intelligent that was why i was able to move with them. and the 3 remaining guys are in their early 30s then.... Now let get to why we are all here.

I remember how i went to a sunday church and after church service i went to "tea and bread shop* owned by an Ivorian. The owner of the shop is called (Barry) .

Then i never knew i will come in contact with a Nigerian not to talk of even meeting 3 Nigerians at one spot. i went into the shop and as i was eating i had someone speaking " pidgin" then i turn around in a haste to know where that is coming from grin then i saw 3 guys arguing ( that is normal Nigerian characteristics) then before u know it then i joined with our popular way of greeting in pidgin " oboy how far na.... " then 3 of them replied and said " oboy how far? we dey happy to meet you ooo "

Then they continue insulting them self 2 of them were telling Bobby to reduce the way he was womanising, and bobby is telling chidi to stop dating school girls then Isioma is like pastor. Then we introduce our self.

Luckily for us we stay close to each other. from the church were both of them stays is like 5 to 10 minutes on walking to where i stay with those Ivorian family. They told me to meet them later in the evening in a bar that is close to them.... But this 3guys hide in doing anything that the church dnt permit, like going to the bar, and drinking or even seen with a woman. They must show good example outside, because they live in the church. in fact Isioma later got employed to work in the church. But Bobby and Chidi are opposite of what the church want them to be outside the church . then i went to meet them that evening after taking my bath and i know what i pass through from my Ivorian damsel that evening to go out and meet this guys. When i got there they already waiting for me. This guys are the first people that told me about ivory coast and the advantage and disadvantages.

They told me how does first to third set of Nigerians that came to "ivory coast" mostly, those guys that ran with ojukwu during Biafra. They told me how sweet and virgin Ivory coast was. They also told me some of the Nigeria guys and member of their church who got married to ivorian women at that time and how the government was responsible for the wedding expenses at those years( things has changed ) grin

Then they jokingly, told me how some of their church member wanted to move to Europe or France from " ivory coast" at that time, but the beauty of Ivorian ladies and the sweet life made them change their mind then they got married grin ( remember i warned u people reading this)

I remember they told me, how a ship in a sea in Abidjan was taking people to France but the moment Nigeria start moving to Ivorian coast they start taking advantage of it and that link was stop ( trust Nigerians they are opportunist) grin

i will try and make this story Short then keep updating it as day goes by so that people can digest it easily.....

So, back to the story...,

I remember this day and it was one of my emotional moment in ivory coast. We all sat down in a bar and i was telling them about my story and what God has done for me but i never knew bobby life story was deeper and crazy than mine.

After i finished telling them my ordeals/ stories. Bobby laughed with "cigarette " in his hand like a man who has seen it all ( yes, bobby is a smoker ). He blew out the smoke from his mouth to the air,

Then he said ( emeka if i tell u my story u go think say na Nigeria movies) one thing i knew about bobby is that...." his never serious" with anything apart from money. Then i continue mocking him how he likes eating and women also not ready to work hard.

Surprising to me, he said in pidgin " mad man done give u clothe to wear before? "

I was like what the f*ck is he saying and i was speechless to listen why he said that.

He told me how he spent 7 years in south Africa, then came back to Nigeria then move to Ghana. he said in pidgin " emeka na Ghana i travel na trouble make me enter ivory coast ooo " just one week he entered Ghana.

He said, my guy dnt ever go to ghana ( am sorry if u are Ghanian reading this) he told me how he was monitored the moment he told them he's from Nigeria at the hotel he was lodging. He told me how his ordeal started when he slept with a Ghana girl and the next day the Ghana girl came and told him she was pregnant and she needed money cheesy ( na wa oo) then he told his Ghana friend at the hotel about it and the Ghana guy told him not to give her any money, because that is how some Ghana women behaves

He said to me that is how he ran away from Ghana and entered ivory coast which is neigbouring country to ivory coast ( 12 hours journey from Ghana to ivory coast ) because the pressure from this same Ghana girl was too much. Then he told me how he entered ivory coast on Xmas day and it was raining and he has no place to move too or where too sleep. Then he had no choice than to stay " under the bridge " where he met a mad man ( yes a mad man. believe me ) how it was so cold out side that night and this mad man look at him said in his heart " am better than this guy " cheesy and the mad man gave him his jacket for cover against cold. Please dnt get me wrong am not saying the mad said so, am only saying how Bobby thought when that mad man was looking at him.

i have to stop here to enable people to read it easily.... then update it tomorrow to continue how Bobby made millions of naira before he left ivory coast to another country

Stay tuned guys tomorrow another update. Thanks

i want to use this time to thank everyone who has taken his time to stay tunned on my thread starting from page 1. Thanks guys.....

Now to continue from where i stop.

I remember how me and my 3 friends were flexing Abidjan. The joy i have after i remembered how i started from nothing to becoming something. The night life is so sweet to an extent we dnt need to visit any bars because only the sight of those Ivorian beauties and how they smiles at u can even kill any depression ( yes, believe me some women can kill any types of depression, i found that in ivory coast)

Now back to the main topic why we are all here....

My first try on getting a team was not really successful. On that faithful day i went to church and after the service i decided to visit the pastor wife after a friend told me to try and see her as a Nigerian , because we are only 2 Nigerians in that church.

After i went inside and she asked where am from I told her from Nigeria and she was so happy and she keep asking me about churches in Nigeria. From there she asked me why i came to ivory coast, i told her i came to search for a team then she was marveled and the next thing i know she asked me about my age and called a powerful sport journalist on phone and she told me to wait for her till after church service. grin ( God is really Good), at that time i know my case was just matter of time.

After Church service i was called by her personal assistance to come to her office, then i went in.... then she told me we are going to the man house ( it was like am dreaming and my heart start beating so fast ) cheesy When we got to the man house, this nice pastor wife told the man " this is my son i want you to give him the oppurnity like any footballer" shocked then the journalist told me when i will be taken to the team. My brethren i could not sleep that night because it was just like a dream to me, and i started thinking what if i never went to church that Sunday, because i dnt go to church that regular, but this Sunday i just decided to move.

Then she called me on phone to know how i was preparing to travel to the team. this team based at outside Abidjan. The following week i am ready to travel and she gave me enough money for my trip ( i could not hold back joy and happiness)

To cut the long story short i went to the team but the agreement between the journalist and the club did not go well and after some weeks with the reserved team because the league was already on session and i came back( i was not really happy because i wanted to make the " pastor wife " and the ivorian family that brought me into their home to be proud of me. Even my own mum)

But i never knew God was using that to prepare me and to prove to me that his God Almighty.

One faithful day i was eating with my Ivorian guys who are in charge of transport in that country. And my main guy ( LASS) who is their chairman asked why did i came to ivory coast. And deep down in me i know is high time i tell him everything.

i told him i came into ivory coast to get a soccer team..... My brother that was when i know how influential this people are. They started screaming and telling me i should relax that i already got team grin ( just like that ?) This was what i said to myself when i had it.

My brethren, it got to the next morning they told me to get prepared that we are going to ZOKORA agent who is a coach to a second division team( this is not a joke i mean it) anybody who watch soccer knows who ZOKORA was and how popular he is. Then they started ranting and boosting that if they dnt sign me war will be the next thing grin and this moment i remember this Nigeria terms " Power chop" and they were all happy that they have someone they could go and watch every Friday or Saturday league match. This guys love soccer and they are ready to do anything to make sure i represent them to an extent they told me if i dnt get signed no player will be signed. i know why they are all saying this is because they are the real fan of that team and in fact one way or the other they helped the team manager and also is their friend.

It got to that day i will be going to meet the coach at where they were training preparing for the league match. i came very early as 6am and waited for them. Then they came and make some calls to confirm if the coach was already present ( this guys have people everywhere cheesy) then the person ask them to start coming that the coach is already present.... Then we all left to where the team was training. i wish i can demonstrate how this guys were behaving approaching the field cheesy i was just laughing and telling them to calm down

They got to the field and respect every laws and also gave the coach the respect he deserve. They told the coach am one
of their own and they want me get signed and i should move into the camp that same day grin my brothers and sister i was just surprised.... and that moment i remember a saying in my heart that goes this way " if God is for you people will fight for u even ur enemy will fight for u"

The coach told them he's not the owner of the team that i should come the following week. This people did not agree and they said the coach must sign me. But as a footballer i know how things are done and i called their attention and told them the coach was right.... Lolz, that was how i was able to save the coach from all this guys and we all went back home.

To cut the story short i went there next week and i was training with them not knowing God has something very big for me. while i was training with them i got in contact with coach in a very low division and i saw the interest he has for me and plan he also have for me after some few time with the division 2 team, Then i stop training with the division 2 team, and i start training with division 4 team. can u imagine?

i never knew that was the only character i need to get favour from God

i started training with this team and i was oppurtune to be among players going for an open trials in America, a team called " LA GALAXY FC" if u know soccer teams u will find out this is the same team zlatan Ibrahimovic plays...

So for some people that was wondery why did i left Ivory coast.... This was the only reason i left there to Nigeria to secure my visa but the sad thing was that i could not get the visa to go for the trial because of how our brothers over there in american were moving to canada using america visa and also is because is an open trial and they are not sure if i will be coming back to Nigeria if did not make the trial( this was the main reason i could not be granted)

But am still greatful because now i dnt need to look for a club my self i already have agent working for me and his helping me in any way he can. So for now i just wait for his phone calls then i pack my bag

CONCLUSION - if you follow towards the last paragraph you all will find out how i stop training with division 2 team to division 4. That is what people called " HUMILITY " so i advice people to start from anywhere they found peace and joy no matter how small it is.

Thanks guys my next update will be on a different topic all together.... So get ready and stay tunned!

If you have driver license why dnt you start a uber job when all this is over? If you don't have driver license you can learn how to drive,i believe if you can find more 200k to your 800k you should be able to get a used Toyota car which you wnt make less than 15-20k a day,if you can save 10k a day nd you working 25 days a month thats 250k per month, 250k x12months that is 3 million naira,at least if you can work for two years that is 6million naira! With that you can apply for master in any of your dream country and also work legally!!
Wow I really like your advice you get sense I will know what to do thanks alot I really appreciate.

U are more to hit a jackpot in business in "ivory coast " than Nigeria.

Business is number one way to be the new "Ivorian dangote " grin all most all business can make u a big boy down to even food selling. If u have a serious girlfriend/wife move in with her and set up a canteen there and watch be the new Ivorian "alakija" grin

I know a woman who came into "Ivory coast" with a "make shift canteen" to sale food, believe me after 6months this woman bought car for her husband. 2years since i left there my friends told me she has started building her house in Nigeria. Let me say something.... "age is nothing" if u are determined , i remember how me and my friends where playing with this woman because of her age. We were telling her hustling is for young guys in a foreign country and not for a woman that is around 45 to 50 years grin but today she has proven to us that age is nothing. Dnt allow anyone to tell when or what age to travel. Is better late than never!

Happy easter to everyone, Like i promise too update again by 8pm today. Am here to share about my pains and gains.

Writing this now... Is making me go through some emotions. Yes! i know i had some "sweet memories " but before all this sweet memories i had some painful and difficult times over there in ivory coast and this is to strengthen anybody who has the determination to succeed in him.

"MY PAINS"

I remember how i left Nigeria without knowing any one over there ( am not saying u must follow this step ooo). And after discussing it with my friends and they discouraged me from going. even one of them asked me in pidgin " wetting u go eat for there" at that moment i know, i never shared same dream with them even if we are all footballers.

I remember how the first girl supposed too help me at the first the moment I got to "Ivory coast" but out of pride as a man made me to lie to her... After this ivorian girl asked me after we entered Abidjan. she said - ( emeka do u have where to stay?) She asked this question almost every stop over we had. then out of pride as a man and as a Nigerian guy, i said - i am going too "ASEC MIMOSAS FC TEAM CAMP in Abidjan" grin, anybody that follows soccer know this soccer team.

But after just one or two days stay at one of the hotels at abidjan, i know i can't continue this way then i humbled my self grin and call this girl to come and meet me at the hotel. And after she came, she was so angry why did i rent the hotel and lie to her. But i apologised and she brought me to her place, and i learnt my lesson to always "be my self " if i want to be helped.

Believe me, i learnt a lot after lieing so heavily on this good girl. Infact i learnt how to be "my self " no matter what.

Before i continue i want to use this space to thank this good and beautiful Ivorian girl called (Genevieve) for what she did to me at the first stage of my life in Ivorian coast.

My brothers and sisters..... some Nigerians in diaspora are good despite how bad some are. Am so happy that i met a guy who bears same name like myself. His name is Emeka, before i met this guy i know what i went through from other Nigerians over there who has been advising me to go back to Nigeria that their is nothing in ivory coast, but this my friend keeping advising me to stay and showed me some mansion owned by nigeria and how i was even better than them. He also gave me money and told me anytime i needed money i should call him, he tried to help me on where i will be sleeping but he was under someone that brought him to "ivory coast " but his direction really helped me.

Oh my God, i remember how i slept from one nightclub to other nightclubs, infact i know a lot of nightclubs in Abidjan grin, because sometimes i move around at day time to discover a new nightclub to sleep at night ( is that not hard work?) grin i also remember how others are dancing and those babes shaking their as*, cheesy ( God forgive me ooooo, for this sentence) grin this is the only part in all i wrote that made me to laugh with out control despite being emotional.

My brothers am getting really emotional i wish to continue writing my sad moment/ pains but let me just stop for people too be able to read it easily ( long note is not good at this time) cheesy

I will update MY GAINS Later also.

Stay turned.... While i update my gains...
