My Greatest Regret, How Gambling Ruined Me

Dear Nairalanders, read my story which I will summarise and don't repeat my mistake.

I was not born rich but I have always been a hustler. In 2006 when I was 30, I had opportunity to travel to Latvia, from there I entered Germany where I started hustle. While in Germany I was sending money to my wife (then girlfriend), who judiciously kept them for me. I finally returned to Nigeria 2016 for my 40th birthday.

On my return, I had made over 25 million naira. My wife advised me to buy a landed property, which I initially agreed. We contacted several real estate agents including one called Landwey in Lagos. After agreeing on formalities, I refused to make the bold move to effect purchase, instead I postponed it, which was foolish of me.

I foolishly bought luxury cars, rented bigger apartment and felt like I have arrived. I invested 5 million in importation business but was duped by my most trusted friend. In 2018, I couldn't maintain my lifestyle due to the fact that I didn't had funds flowing in.

I made the greatest mistake by playing virtual games on betting shops. Within 5 months, I sold almost all my properties still playing virtual and losing.

In 2019, I finally lost everything, I relocated with my wife and 3 kids to a suburb as I couldn't pay the high rent where I was.

My Greatest Regrets:
1. Refusal to make purchase of the landed property as advised by my wife, notably that of Landwey, despite being convinced about it.

2. Living life of opulence when my resources weren't multiplying.

3. Wasting 4 years of my life playing virtual games.

Though I have forgiven myself for the wasted years, my advice to people is to use whatever that comes their way wisely.

Meanwhile, tribute to my wife for standing by me even when I failed her repeatedly

As someone who used to live on 1960bet when they first came to Nigeria, I can tell you for a fact that buying lands or houses are better even if it paying small small o like that one landwey does o

I don't trust your story. You said you came back to Nigeria in 2016 and get married? How did you have 3 kids in 2019? Is it possible to lost 25 millions to bet9ja? Wow, that's incredible.
Re: My Greatest Regret, How Gambling Ruined Me, Read My Story by ibechris(m): 7:01pm On Jul 04, 2021
Sorry for the regrets.

If u have a good wife,pls don't hesitate to listen to her. Like me now,I don't gamble but all my money is in my wife's account I only keep just 1.2 million with me in case of necessities.

U made good money considering the age and time u made it seriously.

Just remember to keep the struggle rolling and try and bounce back.
It will be well.

Gambling is very addictive if you aren’t careful. Didn’t he say he invested in One landwey or so?
