yusufu16: I was raised in a family of 10. At a point I was sent home from my school because no money for school fees. I hawk murchiya (pardon me I don't know the name in English),
After my secondary I moved to Abuja to hustle. At a point I got a job in a business center where I was to be paid N4k a month as salary. But 4 months in the job I wasn't paid a dime as salary. How I survive, only God knows. One time I could no afford money to even eat. So my friend and I will go inside bush to go and pluck unriped guava just to survive for that day. Let me also add that I was sleeping inside in a saloon. I always sleep whenever the owner of the salon finishes for the day. I will spray a clothe on the floor to sleep, no pillow, no nothing inside the shop.
Time past, I gather small money which I used to go write JAMB. On the day of the JAMB, after the exam, I didn't have transport money to come back. I just went there, without even thinking how I am going to come back. So what I did was to beg one man who brought his children with his car. As God will have it, they were going close to where I live.
JAMB result came out I score 191. Hmm what do I say. Live goes on. To my greatest surprise I got admitted into ABU, Zaria with the result.
In the university I didn't have money for accommodation, so I had to squat with other students because I used my savings to pay for the school fees. While in the university, sometimes I go hustle outside campus just to get money to survive.
As time goes one, I was able to secured 2 scholarships which has helped me complete my university and came out with 2.1.
Today I am a graduate, owned a car, and now i am into freelancing - website development and graphics design.
In all these I give God the glory and I am still hoping for better life ahead.
AmuDimkpa: It grows so fast and can get unmanageable. Last week, the cases here in Australia were not upto 1000, now there are over 2000 cases and the government is working very hard to stem and slow it down. I am praying very hard for Nigeria and Nigerians especially with that government in power.
Thanks Bro. GOD will answer your prayers on our behalf in JESUS NAME, Amen.
DCmonster: Mississippi is calm, national guard patrol often time. Enough groceries at home, I am still working though and am scared coz I don't wanna catch this shit and die. And finally, it's now clear to me that white and black ain't the same.
Why did you say "white and black ain't the same"?
Does covid 19 only affects one and leave the other?

edoairways: Not totally correct.Pestilences, or epidemics of “terrible diseases.” See Luke 21:11
Don't jump, start from Lk.21:9. you will see where it is written "but the end is not by and by"
The jump to Luke 21:27, you will see
"And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh".

Chamber2000: Nairaland has a lot of kids that insult you or your tribe if you have a contrary opinion .
Thank God I found Twitter because that's where everything happens and you get to roll with the BIG Guns not Nairaland where kids who are still writing Jamb or undergraduate will be insulting you.
Seun sanitise this place. It's too toxic.
Ban people and stop giving them leeway to destroy your hard work
Twitter also is for the strong hearts. The insults and the repartees there are savage and hurtful.
Just ask the celebrities. They will tell you that Twitter is a terrorist.
jaxxy: When u getting married come clean and say all u probably think is necessary so u that u don’t have skeletons in ur cupboard. If u have exes hanging around say it, if u go money or baby mama problems say it. The sky won’t fall.
It appears you are not married.
"Say it" and you will see that the sky will immediately fall on your head.
maasoap: This dumb Sultan still thinks Coronavirus is a joke. I don't know how many corpse of people killed by hunger he had picked in the streets. If Coronavirus enters your Palace, u go no say hunger gets grandpa
How many people killed by coronavirus have you picked on the streets yourself?
tete7000: Action they say speaks better than words. What is the use of words not backed by action? Why allowed yourself embroiled in unnecessary controversy if you think you have a reputation to protect? Why clinged so tightly to something you knew you would likely lose and you claimed you don't care to lose? Why not show your superior moral to your enemies by doing away with them before they do away with you? What I have learnt in life is that many people say things but only few have courage tobact out what they say. People's penchant for life of affluence and show off often stands in their way of making objective analysis of their situation and act appropriately, this is the case with Sanusi. Onee statement of a young girl whose father had always courted controversy and thus grew up and get accustomed to a negative and confused life of controversy is not enough to do away with the truth of my statements. People with objective minds and not those whose minds is muddled up in sentimentality can read and understand what I have written. It might be too deep for your mind.
And from what you have written so far, it appears you must be either from the SS or SE or or 8PDP government lover still bitter about Sanusi's outing of Jonathan's govt pilferage of our common wealth of which some of his nefarious gang members like Olisah Mentu, Fayose and the former service chiefs are either in prison or in and out of courts waiting for judgement days. Therefore proving that the man has been right all along.
As for him eating and drinking with the powers that be, rather he has always been a thorn in the flesh of the powerful men in government and in the North for telling them bitter truths, therefore they passionately hate him.
Let me tell you, no power helped him to the throne (they don't want him there), the throne is his heritage, he has been groomed for it from childhood. His honourable grandfather was a former Emir, feared even by the Sardauna. Radicalism runs in their blood.
So you have no justification to attack this Man of Honour. It is his type we want in the position of leadership in our country, not your types who are bent on ruining this nation.

All your claims since against the Honourable Man were wrong, and I will briefly shred them one by one.
To start with, you are not making any objective case or provable allegations against SLS, you are only spewing out diatribes and unfounded hatred against the Honourable Man. So stop claiming any mental depth about this issue, you are only deceiving yourself. Even the corrupt state government that deposed him could only accused him of not attending official meetings and functions, which is laughable.
tete7000: What do you know? Nothing. You people have a funny way of reasoning. If Sanusi feels he is on a higher moral ground, he won't dine with certain people. You don't dip hands into a bowl with people and turn around to tag them immoral, they will turn around, fight and disgrace you. Sanusi talks for downtrodden, speaks against child marriage and almajiri, fine. However, was he not the same man that got married to a 17yr old girl as his 4th wife? If truly Sanusi understand morals, he would have long resigned before he was booted out. Why stay within and fight against people who made you? The same people you ran to when Jonathan seemed to want to crush you. I laugh at all the outlandish outpouring of emotion here by those of you who don't know how life works. He who goes to equity must go with a clean hand. If you chose to fight a moral war, you don't do it sitting down and dining with the devil, you will end up being totally disgraced and nothing will come out of it because there is so much hidden that can be used against you. I repeat again that Sanusi is naive in the game of power or even moral. He is a man seeking unnecessary sensation and adulation.
Below is my answer to you.
When Sanusi sent his daughter, Shahida to represent him at a Chibok Girls lecture in Abuja, the conservative muslims in the north were angry with him. At the function, she said, “My father is not afraid of giving up his throne if it stands in the way of speaking the truth. Those who think that my father would keep quiet because he wants to hold on to his throne, I think they don’t know my father. I know that he has always wanted to be the emir of Kano but to him, if it comes between what is right, what his conscience tells him and choosing the throne, he would happily give up the throne. My father has always been a part of one controversy or the other and it’s normal for us. We are not scared anymore. PM NEWS
