My online brothers and sisters, help me thank God for preserving my life as I almost left this wicked world last Friday, 13th January, 2023. 13th January has become a day I will never forget in life. Since I graduated from the university, I am yet to get a job that is well-deserving of my status. I'm not talking about big jobs with heavy remuneration (not as though I won't grab it if I see one of such) but just something to earn a living from. The last salaried job I did was a contract job which lasted only 6 months. Since then, despite my efforts, applying to every nook and cranny to land a job, I have been unlucky. However, I still keep hope alive.
However, it makes me think Nigeria really need to redefine and re-axamine the value of education in the country and what it stands for. Does it stand for nation building or for frustration? That is something for another day BTW.
Back to the topic, so with a woman and two kids to take care of, I had to go do labourer job at a construction site to earn something. That Friday was my second day in the place. I never thought it would end in disaster but I thank God that even after falling from such a distance, I didn't die, neither the mason man that was on the scaffold.
The thing is that I was carrying mortar and blocks to the mason, climbing using ladder. You know this local scaffold builders use. That thing they nailed together as V 'abi' L, place them on the wall and put planks on top to stand on. I don't know what happened that the blocks put at one end to weigh its balance failed while I was already up there. Long story short, everything collapsed and that was how we landed on the ground from the finishing end of the building. It should be a distance of 12 feet or more.
What worsened the case was the mason. As the scaffold collapsed, he immediately and unconsciously grabbed the newly laid blocks in safety attempt, not remembering he just laid those blocks. You know that kind thing. Landing on ground, that was how those blocks came upon us in their number like some sort of blast. To top it all, I didn't earn a penny that day. The man is even blaming us for the collapse.
I sustained injuries but my waist especially seems to have dislocated as a result of hitting it on ground while landin. I have been feeling sharp pains from the inside since then.
Since that Friday, I have been down physically and psychologically. As I am reflecting on it today, I decided to write it down.
No matter how it has affected me, physically, psychologically, economically and health-wise, I still thank God for sparing my life and I want you to join me in thanking him.
Thank you for reading also.
Still manage go do xray make internal bleeding no kill you. This life especially Nigeria people always wish you are dead already. I don't know why but subconsciously everyone thinks you are blocking road for them. As far as you survived the accident, nobody cares but assuming you died, come see hypocrites blaming you for not seeking for help and going to work in a construction site. Actually, we learn a lot been broke than been rich. I have learnt to be myself, do what pleases me, do what I can do and not take un necessary risk for nothing or for peanuts. Bro relax and reevaluate your life, don't let any one push you and don't over do. If na to sit down one place dey do POS, do. Thank God for life. School is not a scam but it's deceitful. They don't tell us the aim of going to schools in time
But when ur time has come, you time has come, everything would work for ur benefit
What If obi didn't have the balls to leave pdp wen he dis
What if he decided to stay back
Yes, that was very courageus. I learnt something from Obi. Nobody has power over your life or is able to decide your destiny except yourself and God. Na only fear is the barrier
Brendaniel: Emefiele goes no where, you can't support him for 8 years to punish Nigerians then arrest him for punishing a few politicians for just 3 months.
Emefiele till Peter Obi is sworn in
If you ass lick a particular tribe in Nigeria, they disgrace you in the end
kenedyx: I got a huge contract through my brother's company.
The contract is securely in my possession now and I've been fully paid. Initially, the plan was for my bro to supply me the materials
But the issue now is the quotation he's giving me is way higher than what I'm getting elsewhere.
I've asked him to beat down his price but he's adamant. I plan on sidelining him if he doesn't do the needful.
Guys any thoughts on this?
Chop I chop... Your brother for that matter and you no Wan make him chop. He knows how much you collected and wants his own share. If you sideline him, kiss your brotherhood bye. If his demand will make the business crumble or make you not to have profit, go and explain and make sure you are been real otherwise, he will not allow you get a contract through him again. I don't understand you sha, I think you are not a good brother.
tuoyoojo: Looking back I want to thank Oga Buhari for showing Nigerians shege, if not we would have been complacent with the whole election
In the same breath I want to say thank you to him for introducing BVAS
I want to thank Tambuwal for his last killer move that buried the chances of wike, making atiku emerge. If wike had won, majority of the northern votes would be shared by Tinubu and kwakwanso
I want to thank APC for leaving out the likes of fashola and osibanjo and bringing bringing forward the microphone licking balabu candidate
Special shout out to my nigga madugu AkA Kwankwaso for destroying the northern block voting pattern
And Special thank you to all obidients and all first time voters who decided the show the world that they must hear the voice of the structureless people load and clear
Dj pls play me This never see me (obi) coming by firebox feat asake
You didn't thank Atiku for locking down PDP with Fulani candidate. If PDP had presented a very good candidate, who knows.
Joevics: Okay. I agree. Do your own fact checking and provide sources. It's not difficult.
Everything written there is in public domain.
A typical urchin will avoid this or curse you on top. They are depending on Peter Obi fact checking yet they don't have there own fact checking. Doing nothing for 30k
AcuraZDX: Everyone is now aligning with the incoming President of Nigeria
You can see some amount of respect by the uk Ministers countenance. Not the normal fake laughs we see with other criminal politicians. By now, UK will have to go back to drawing board on how to work with the new Nigeria.
Veezy4u: you don finish all d odds wey dem set for you
This one is very important, Nigeria is at risk. Make i tell you the benefit. They will likely give Tinubu 5.00 odd and 0bi 1.50 odd, then Draw (inconclusive) 3.00 odd because they know what Nigerian rigging machines can do.
I will sell one plot of land play Tinubu or Draw which is about 2.50 odd.
Results = PO wins, I kiss my land bye and celebrate with the small cash wey dey my hand.
NNtv: Ede-oballa community found a young man dead while he was trying to steal parts of a transformer in Girl's community secondary school Ede-oballa, Nsukka, Enugu State.
The man was discovered by market women who were returning home from Eke market in the community on 14th January 2023.
As you can see on the picture, the left hand of the man has been burnt while he was trying to losen parts of the transformer.
The voice in the video available is saying "how much will he even sell what he intended to steal"
Weird news... Man trying to steal transformer? How can he carry it? Story is not adding up. May be trying to steal transformer accessories but that's not what one person can do
highchief1: theres no enjoyment bro.remember u will make ppl cry and some life will not remain the same when u die.bro deep thinkers don’t fancy anything about life.
Instead of been sad inside the life you don't know how it came and when its going. Na to flex am like every day is the last. Been sad takes away energy you dont have
highchief1: in 2020 I stopped taking life too serious.I just live.we bother about tomorow we don’t know if we will see.all the precious thgs we will leave behind.cars,houses,kids,fine wife.bank accounts.life is a hopeless place.if I knew it’s like this I wouldn’t have come
Hahaha, no. Me I like the enjoyment wey follow am but it should not be a do or die affair. Just work small, be contented and enjoy your dividends.
I hope nigerians are actually aware of the fact that many pro-tinubu accounts here are not casual users like you and I, they are actually piad, they are called "digital media team of the APC. It's a job to them. Soo don't fall for their antics. They open multiple accounts to generate fake likes for their comments as this picture shows. So don't let your mind be manipulated by their antics.
Yes I discovered late that the handle is a humanoidified urchin. They are paid to gang up against Nigeria. Assembles of wild beasts. A is for Apple and it hit 128 likes
Adaisback: Nigerians, this is the type of man that we should present to the outside world. Even Oyibos will start respecting us during Peter Obi's tenure walahi
Starting from this Cheatham visit, UK will start respecting Nigeria.
Venerable612: Interesting, I was watching the TV series “Expanse” yesterday and they routinely used space stations/torpedoes to hit asteroids/meteors to alter their course.
Science fiction may be the way of the future and humans may eventually be able to settle in other planets / space - perhaps 100s of years from now.
Mars is looking nice for now. Looks like Original Dubai
nwekeugochukwu: Nigerian televangelist, Mike Bamiloye took to his Instagram page to ask men a question pertaining to running errands for their wives, IGBERETV reports.
Haba, what is wrong in helping my wife buy soup things wey I go still chop? See question... Unless she is idle in the house all day and expecting me to be going to the market for her but that's not a wife now, that one na madam and house boy. For real marriage, there is nothing wrong in helping each other do anything. Na fun self
naptu2: Today is Nigerian Armed Forces Remembrance Day!
In Nigeria, Armed Forces Day, also known as Remembrance Day, is celebrated on January 15th. It was formerly marked on the 11th of November every year to coincide with the Remembrance Day (Poppy Day) for the World War II veterans in the British Commonwealth of Nations, but it was changed to January 15th in Nigeria in commemoration of the surrender of Biafran troops to the Federal troops on 15th of January 1970 thus signalling the end of the Nigerian Civil War.
The day is marked with a Remembrance Day parade at the Cenotaph in Abuja and in the 36 state capitals. The ceremony includes a 21 gun salute, playing of the Last Post, a minute's silence, laying of wreaths and release of pigeons to symbolise peace.
In the past month Armed Forces Remembrance Day emblems have been on sale across the country. Proceeds of the sale of the remembrance emblem go to the Nigerian Legion.
The Nigerian Legion is the Nigerian association of ex-servicemen, i.e. former members of the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force.
Officers and men of the armed forces are trained to fight and kill. When they retire, they discover that there are no jobs for them (some of them have been in the armed forces since they were teenagers and military work is all they know). Others were forced to retire from the Armed Forces due to injuries sustained in battle. The Legion helps them to integrate into society and to take care of themselves.
By law the Legion is permitted to operate certain businesses in order to raise money for its members. Members of the legion also serve as security guards at government establishments (you often see them in their brown uniforms). The Legion also raises money through the sale of Armed Forces Remembrance Day emblems.
In recent years (especially since the return to civilian rule) members of the Legion have gone through great hardship while trying to collect their pensions and gratuity. Sometimes their pensions are not paid for many months. At other times, legionnaires, who could be as old as 60, 70, or 80 years old are made to travel long distances and queue in the hot sun, all in the name of pension verification exercise. Many legionnaires have died during this process.
