60m

Made 60m this year from my business. The only down side, I became greedy and bought two containers of goods when dollar was 1,300 in the hope it's still increasing and I am yet to dispose them. Would HV made 100m from it with what they were selling then.

It's too cheap

Contact

Wow, I can't still believe I made this thread that year out of frustration.
God has been faithful to me ever since. I have buiit two big houses in the city am residing and I built them inside the heart of the town where lands are very expensive and am building my third house now with hundreds of million in my account couple with numerous cars now. God has been faithful.

The number of hanging transactions in Nigeria is alarming. I did I transfer of 200k to a UBA Account on the 1/03/2023 and the money dropped at it's destination account on the 10/03/2023, exactly seven working days likewise the transactions I did to other UBA accounts on the same 01/03/2023. Now I am battling with the 100k I sent to an ACCESS bank account on the 08/03/2023 that is yet to drop and also transactions to so many other access bank accounts. Nigerians love suffering and smiling alot. There is no much awareness on this unresolved transactions in the social media and I am flabbergasted over this. I was thinking of making a thread on this issues to create awareness.

Hmmm

And for court , the guy explain say he dey lose sometimes. He don play with 500k, 300k, 400k etc and him don lose all this game b4 him come win this one oh. So they should pay him his money

I will try and stay positive for God to do his will. He has been helping me out and I believe I will come out stronger and better.

Good for you

God has embarrassed with Blessings this past week. I wrote this post to make God to notice my predicament. And God has proven Himself. He has done so many things for me and He will still do more. Brethens, God is real and ever faithful. I can testify enough of his Goodness in my life. I promise never to go back to my immoral habit that have been with me since my nysc days in 2010.

I have listen to everybody and I realised that I have made too many bad decisions. I would have gone far in life if not for all this decisions. Sometimes I wonder why people turns out to be poor but now i understand. I thank God for my life for giving me the wisdom to make those money and from now on, I promise to make judicious use of them if I make them back.

You don't borrow people money, you are not bank. Most people don't pay back when you borrow them.
See making money is not easy, you are meant to. Jealously guard the one you have.
Learn to be very wise with your money. Life has not thought you lesson the hard way that's why you will be dashing people money anyhow.

My brother you have a lot of growing up to do.
Hope you learn your lessons during this ordeal

I didn't reason it that way that someone close to you is passing through difficult situation and you know the person is hardworking and you give him and his wife money to continue their business and the man is trustworthy. Along the line the Alhaji that he paid money to in order to supply him loads disappeared with the money. Both my money and other money that he borrowed from people. And he has been doing business with the Alhaji for one year and no complain. It wasn't my fault that I tried to help. They have all promised to pay me back when they get to their feet but it has not been easy.

Impressive

So sorry abt that. But it's better to wait till the wife recovers

Graduateacher:
Are you sure your friends are being sincere? do you tell them intimate things? it's possible the car was deliberately set on fire to spite you? don't trust anybody.

I don't really know, only God can tell. According to him he used the car to pick two passengers as he was coming back and someone notified him that the car was burning under. He had to park and then the fire was much. The car is a sienna 2005 model. Just a year registered in Nigeria

Richy4:
Your type is not what Nigeria needed.. You were not destined to be a Nigerian were there are lots of dishonest people Hence their yes is not yes and their No is not always NO..
People were taking your golden heart for a ride and are making you look like a fool.. I know your type buddy... and I know you won't change because it's an inborn thing.. Even when you said NO, your conscience and Mindset will be turning and you won't be able to sleep at Night...I pray that your wife will understand you and starts saying NO on your behalf..

Don't say you are unlucky because that's a gift that was given to you.. Some Natural gift are really annoying such as the one you have..

Exactly. Am the only person that my neighbours and relations run too when they are in difficulties but now i have nobody to run to except God....
I pray God help me out till I sell my property. In all this I feel for my wife cos I nvr wanted her to go through this after our wedding. I have many story to tell in this my 31years on earth.

I have been thinking too much cos of my car that got burnt. Am like why me? Even when I have lost alot. Why??

Logobenzz:
Trust me brother,these things are inevitable in a person's life I think.
2019 has been my worst year so far in life.
But the only difference is I think I had much cash stashed up somewhere.(thank God for Johnny walker men)
But then disaster hit from the very first day 2019 began.the first business I did burnt me more than 6m in losses.(useless import agent with her poor judgement and senselessness and foolishness.spits!)
I continued looking for other options,no way!
All of a sudden too,one old debt people came with their wahala and threw me in jail.if I tell you the amount eh.
I was forced by law to pay that money in four years.i was depressed,heartbroken too all thanks to one idiot I dated at the time,and was even suicidal at a point.
In fact many things I can't recall all now.
I even went to Adamawa of all places to go and do business despite the terror happening there.
That has been the only profitable venture I've done since this year.
Guess what?I received a WhatsApp message from one of my guys from way back in school.
I later called him back with no expectations at heart,I just told him all I was going through and he invited me over to the US for another headway men.
I went there,we talked,we even combined to setup this new project I have right now.
So baba no lose hope and don't sell your property ever!rather borrow little and start from scratch.
E go pay and don't ever give people money.i don't do it anymore!!
Develop the heart of a beast.na them go collect and when you fall na them go spread rumour say you don fall.
I repeat don't ever help anybody!if the person go die,then so be it!!!Only family bro,no joke with them.
Goodluck padi

Thank you bro. But I have to sell that property to survive now. I know b4 the year runs out I will make twice the amount back God's willing.

I would have wanted to ask people not to help people out on loans even if it's close ones but giving that advise will be depriving some people some life saving money. I pray nvr to stop giving but God should direct good people to me. Not people that will cost me pain

saintneo:
being able to make over 1m is not luck, it's hardwork. For me you have unfriendly friends. Visit MFM for deliverance.

The truth is that I have been trusting people for long and I get hurt in the long run. Sometimes when I see people beg me for money and I don't get them and they pass through pains, I become restless and pained cos I didn't help out. But this last help of 350k has just broken my heart to pieces. I don't keep friends and I do help out to people and church. But now am so heartbroken from the 350k to my car that just got burnt. And I ask God why me? If I have been heartless I know I would hv had abt 10million with me. I just don't understand if it's a crime to help out. But what I have understand now is that it's better to dash people little money than to loan them.

Am just voicing out now cos it's not yet obvious to people now but am afraid of the future. But I believe God will surprise me. Maybe it was poor management like someone said but it wasn't my fault to help a neighbour in need. I believe God will recover all my wealth for me in His due time.

Acidosis:
Begin to search for knowledge, bro. I'm not talking about academic knowledge now but intellectual, practical and real-time knowledge. It is not coincidence that you're losing money left, right and centre.

It is lack of knowledge that made you give a friend your car to sell when there are at least 3 credible DIY (Do-it-yourself) platforms to sell your car. One used to be the very popular OLX, now it's Jiji (Jiji acquired OLX btw). The world is moving so fast you need to blend with the speed. You used to be top in your class but that's no longer relevant. You've made some money in the past but that's no longer relevant. How much do you know about investments, not just your business?

A shortfall in knowledge, not softness, made you give loans to the tune of 1m to people with no capacity to refund. It is not devil at work, bro.

Spend more time searching and researching. Desire intellectual cost, and remember that knowledge, not money, is the greatest form of capital and power. If you don't have it, you don't have it.

I didn't give him to hold and sell for me. I gave him to go and show his friend that was in another town to see and buy and I was busy that day cos I would have fone with him. We bargained on the phone and the person agreed to pay the next day. On his way coming back was when the car caught fire.
The people I gave loan to were people that I thought could pay back as at that time and circumstances beyond them made them not to pay back. So am like why am I not lucky when dealing with people? Even people I never expected to fail still fail me

@Jonscotin

I even felt depressed reading your story, this is very sad honestly. I hope this story is not fake because so many emotions running from this story.
I'm even more bothered because you are married, If you were single. The problems would be easier to manage properly as you owe no one a Roof over their head, but right now you need help.

There are 3 basic solutions to this, One is fervent continuous prayer, Two is contacting your old real friends to save you from this, Nature has made it that If you have a good character & were helpful during your good days, 1 or 2 real friends who can always assist you.

Three, as long as your wife doesn't panick. Then things will be be Okay, both of you cannot be depressed at the same time. I feel that you might be on the verge of suicide if not properly managed.

Thank you for your kind words. The truth is my wife is not panicking but she will soon put to birth in Maybe a two months or three months time. I have been praying fervently for this cup to pass me by. I have a property that I have put for sale now. I pray I see a buyer soon. And I just bought it of recent. I had intended to keep and develop it that was why I wanted to sell my car and invest the money in my business before it got burnt. As it is now, my business is not up and running now

I have been praying for this cup to pass over me. I have lost appetite since two weeks now. Am just sad over everything. Maybe cos am too soft. I don't know why God created me this way. Sometimes I feel like questioning God over this issues

I struggle to make ends meet every time. When others are lucky, I struggle even when I put in my best. Right from childhood. Am really depressed. I have made millions of naira but all always end up in people's hand. In 2014 I gave a family friend 1.14m for his co-operative society after preaching how I will be getting interest from it. Till now, he ran out of town. In 2015, I gave my neighbour 1m since they were struggling and wanted to change business and I wanted to help out. That one is stuck and and they haven't been able to pay back. With so many other little sums ranging from 200k to 15k that I have used to help people and they end up not paying me back. I am the type of person that hardly say no to people after much persuasion. I don't know why am this soft....
This year, just a month after my wedding, I have been making wrong choices. I borrowed someone 350k to give me back last month ending and he hasn't given me back. I initially refused giving him but he was calling and begging for one week, saying it won't get up to last month ending, he will give me back the money, well today is 10th and he is not picking my calls.
My business has been down of late cos of too many competitions and the people selling fakes are been patronized more then me cos I usually stick to originals. I had to put my only car for sale and I gave it to a friend to help me to sell it. Now the car just got got burnt after we just saw a buyer that was ready to pay this next day.
Am confused, why is all this happening to me. Am now a laughing stock among my classmates and coursesmates cos I was among the top in secondary school then but I wasn't lucky to study a good course. The only lucky things I have now are my wife, mother and brother. But am depressed now esp over the burnt car and no money again. I can't stand this shame. I feel like am losing it now
