I helped a colleague at work. housed and fed her because her residence was far and commuting to and fro work daily was difficult and costly for her. She robbed me blind. My laptop, Iphone and money. Laptop had all my lifeswork, manuscripts, soundtracKs, screenplays, travel documents and saved passwords. She claimed to be ill on a workday, so she stayed home while i went to work. The rest is history.

Never take a work colleague, stranger, acquaintance, church member or even friend to your house. it never ends well.

Keep your relationships at arms length. Trust NOBODY

It's a faceless forum so no need for lies. I have just been reading people's experiences and i just couldn't help it. People have gone through alot in this wicked world oo. Hmmm me ehn. I don't just know the kind of heart God gave me, i can't see someone in pain or need and not help them even when me self I'm in need oo. I can forgo my own need and help someone who is in need before thinking of how my own need will be met. I have done that countless times and now when i make a call to people for one help or the other, everybody disappears. Ha! It can be very painful oo. Sometimes tears drops my eyes that how can things be hard for me like this especially when i lost my dad recently. Many atimes it makes me want to be hard but i can't.

How did you know broadcasting was your call.. I'm having the sane double thought. I'm in love with arts ESP English and literature.. Very simple for me.. But I did science.

Chai!

I can only imagine your pain.
And I feel it too.
I mean, I was in your shoe some months back.

I took in a guy to stay in my place since I wouldn't be there for a greater part of the year owing to some stuffs I'm running .

Rent expired September, and I had to run around to get the money to ensure my absence wasn't a big deal.

As my landlord doesn't come around till Sunday and I was leaving on Friday,
I dropped it somewhere only he and my kid bro could access.

Got to Sunday and the first call I received was one asking me if I took back the money I kept for rent grin.

Money wey I borrow.



Went underground and he coughed it out.


Underground?

Helped my uncle with 5k on a saturday, 8 days later, things got so rough for me that I had to borrow 25k undecided . I think being hard is the only option now. Because givers dey lack nowadays. If I look at my condition ehn, I start to regret helping people and even paying tithe and offerings.

Lol i really dont talk about this but since its a faceless app..i think i can spill it and not feel bad

Been born in a poor family is one of the greatest blow life hit me with...so so poor family...finished secondary school and applied for university...folks dosent have even enough for the acceptance fee to thier name...so they took loans
My fees and expenses were on loan sharks...every Wednesday is a bad day in our lives..its either folks are running helter skelter to pay or their been disgraced...i have older sis and 2kid sis..it was rough and tough..i still wonder how people from familes like this concetrate in school..loans and repayment has always been my worries...nothing enter ls my head..while in secondary school i was one of the best...but in uni i was one of the worst..i pass my courses only when i get help...so i met this girl ..she was the angel that helped me survive feeding in school..she made sure eating wasn't a problem..and at some point we started to date because i honestly have nothing else to offer her aside love,care and my body...so i reliedband trusted her 100...at some point, babygirl got tired and fedup ,so she broke up...lol...that killed me and everything around me because it was an exam period...so i failed woefully, so bad that i had to switch department and let go of a whole academic year...the next year the governor of my state hiked the school fee over a hundred percent...so life got tougher, regrets over regrets...i wanted to die...thanks to family for love and care...now am out of school over 2yrs now but funds wont let me clear my results....i learnt graphics designing and am good at it..but there is a lot of pain i couldnt explain in there...omo i suffered in this life ...but when you see me,I'd be smilling and cracking jokes like everything is fine...if not for what would happen to my fams..suicide would have been the best way ....and yes along the line i was hustling and doing ine or two things too but only enough for sub ,bike fees and card...life is hard and cruel to me and my folks....
LIFE IS SO CRUEL AND HARD ON ME AND MY FOLKS
dad from loan sharks an all built and a house without windows ,just enough roof for a room ..no doors,no.plaster
And they live there ...hes an okada rider now,since his job doesnt pay .

I'm suffering,hustling and my folks are doing the same
Its getting tougher by the day
The only thing anyone can do for me now is?
If you have graphics and printing job,i swear i can deliver
If you have ways or updates that can help my life,pls help a brother and i promise to be grateful all my life
And i would like to be an actor too..if you love entertainment and would like to invest in someone, i swear am good too..0,8,1,0,8,1,0,1,0,4,2

Please continue that job while you put a trusted person in that business. Your personal expenses will make it look like you mismanaged your funds.

Hello guys, I will mention two mistakes that cost me alot in life, though I finally overcame them by God's grace....

One of the mistakes was visiting a fake church whose pastor looked "anointed" and profitable. That stuff ruined my life so much, but I recovered again and am wise..

Another mistake was my continued dating of a girl my spirit rejected.. This caused me terrible emotional stuff, but I am pretty fine now by God's grace.

Not joining the BTC or ETH for free when I could. It cost me a lot....

As I speak now, I'm loosing over 5m in crypto currently. But I'm not giving up.

Leave it there and hope it rise someday .

My own mistake was toying with the tokens : selling off while it was obviously dipping and buying new ones with hope they'd rise, but they only nosedived further.

I lost over 200k in a week.
