ifeolamide00: the mistake most poor people has is the notion that going to school will eventually uplift u from porverty ..well it might be true in some part of the world but over here in africa most especially nigeria the case is different ....if you had divoted the time u used in going to school into learning a hand work like tailoring, mechanic, welding, carpentry and a whole lot of them i tell you by now you would not be here pitying yourself ....well youve made a mistake now you have learnt your lessons and do not try to do what your father did by borrowing money to send you to school....try and understand life...who go school and who no go school get thesame goal and thats chasing money.....my children no go try am go university exept the one wey wan learn medicine or nursing any other one go learn work when them finish i use the money they'ld have used to go to scvhool to settle them. 5 Likes |

What seems (because i'm still not sure) to be one my Greatest mistake was aborting a Pregnancy my Girl friend had for me 17years ago. I was a young , bloody undergraduate, 300level. She called to inform me about her pregnancy, it was already ( x )months and was 4 days to second semester exam. My heart left my mouth on this day, I was like... "Why are you just telling me" - her response was "I don't know what to do, she cried profusely in front of Queens Hall, drop of her tears doused my white T-shirt as I drew her closer. My heartbeat revved up, only God knows my bp then... I became quiet, like a stream. I said ehn ehn..."I noticed you haven't been attending lectures , but I thought it was just one or two" , sleeping all through, she has added weight... I was like "Ah!!!... (I was naive , bereft of ideas...) I said to her, what should we do? She kept on saying " I don't know" I said to her, don't worry ...we parted ways that evening..I couldn't attend all night tutorials, I was lost in thought. I couldn't go back to my BQ then, sat in front of kuti hall...thinking... I later slept in a friends room, couldn't tell him mehn!!! Fast forward to following morning, picked up my ATM, withdrew all my savings about N86k then, put all cash in knapsack bag. 7.15a.m or so, I called her.. me:hello girl, how are you? Gf: I'm fine Me: get dressed, I'm coming now Gf: Alright Chartered a cabby to mokola....she kept on crying, I can't say stop crying... I was dumb..looking like òdé..mumu. Got to mokola, Checked her into Scan center...waited for result ..the result came showing expected date of delivery, a boy...blablabla I couldn't interprete the scanned result....I remember the doctor asking me.."is she your wife? I said yes.... (Omo!!! Boy don dey vomit tey tey o) She held my arm closely like... The doctor said: Congratulations, she's going to deliver so so so month (expectedly) Scan shows a boy, doing well blablabla ...still I was looking like an idiot...lol The doctor reel out dos and don't... All sounded like terms and conditions to my hears...lmao He presented the scan result like a certificate to me...called another cabby, I told him to take us to nice restaurants around first, we went on top mokola hill... She couldn't eat, I asked her to eat something... Then I never realized the mood swing, picky nature and loss of appetite are signs or unusual behavior of pregnant women... This period, my confidence has started to grow, I became bold ...thinking - "what's the worst thing that could happen" (still yet to figure what next to do o) Finished at restaurant, cab man dropped us in front of Agbowo... Took a campus cab to her hall and I said we'll see later in the evening. My Friends don call tire...asking Won't you come for tutorials? Where are you guy? You dey Kenneth dike ní? Mtcheeew...."For my mind, I was like "f*ck you all " Sitting quietly inside, brought out the scan result...i was gazing at it like an exam paper.. My Gf called - I didn't pickup After few hours, I later called back - she asked me how I was doing? I replied cool...blablabla "We go see in the evening" Evening came...it was already past 9p.m entry closed for visitation to female hostel. Called her out...and ask her how she was feeling? She said dizzy... I said did anyone knew about what's happening to you? She said No one. I said to her, that cold windy evening.."what should we do" (For me, I'm ready for the worst - even though I don't know what the worst entails ) We both became calm for like 12mins and she replied? I want an abortion I was like - "Eh"...I opened my mouth wide...couldn't close it. But, this time around... She was no longer weeping, looking fierce, determined... I brought out the scan paper - tucked inside my jean key pocket(small pocket) , wrapped like rizler... I checked the months again, as if I wasn't told last time at hospital... My heart went gaga...I retraced back to my O'level biology in which I was good at, and I had A3 My mind was telling me is no longer possible, science was telling me otherwise... I didn't think about 3rd option - " Death"... I asked her...3times the way peter was asked...Are you sure? She said YES... This period, my alcohol consumption went overboard, above threshold... Withdrew away from buddies, and became solitary...couldn't study, study ké Fast forward ..exam don start...sat for my first paper... That paper that day, I knew I don fail, no how...it was a 4unit course....submitted and dashed out of exam hall... She was of social sciences and had 6 papers only to sit for, being second semester. Fast forward to Friday, No exam for both parties... Call cabby...went to mokola, this time around not the first hospital... I said she should sit inside MR BIGGS, bought her pastries.... She asked me where i was going? I said i'm coming.....walked round aimlessly, couldn't visit alaafia hospital... I knew kasala go burst, if i did...'cos i could be arrested and they can't be involved in such unwholesome practice.... Out of blues, I saw a newly painted maternity clinic...climbed the stairs ,walked up to a young beautiful nurse... The clinic is new with touch of class. I crave for her indulgence, she obliged... I narrated the whole story , everything to her "in-to-to"...no subtraction/no addition... Nurse was calm and looking confused as well. She has no answer to give, rather than to tell me to wait and see the doctor gynaecologist. Met, Young doctor as well, an alumnus. Narrated everything, he asked steps have taken...I said none aside scan...she requested for result, looked at it and kept asking varying degree of questions - course of study, age, my plans, love life , genotype every every...both relevant and irrelevant... Later, he said where is the lady...I said she's close by...he said I should go and call her...I went to pick her, she was already asleep..awww She asked me subtly " where have you being? I said i went to look for a clinic, and the doctor wants to see you... In doctors office...he talked to us gently and calm...telling us the good, bad and ugly...that we shouldn't carry out an abortion. He gave several advice, but he realized my GF is hell bent on it from her looks. He later asked us to go and sit outside after several hours, and she called in one of the nurses into his office. Perhaps for discussion. Later...he called us in, and he obliged to do it. I was indifferent, but the expression on my GF face was that of relief. So he(doctor) said, the fee was N30,000, we should come back following morning.....listed some drugs to buy aside fee...I no even negotiate am... But the doctor said something which struck me..."he said we should ensure we sleep with each other tonight, its very important "...he said so without even smiling, looking serious... I couldn't ask why...I was like, me wey my sexual urge don dry, looking unkempt without focus.... collected one of nurses phone number... We left.... Got back to my BQ, already late in evening. She said she wanted to eat something spicey like spiced meat, took a bike to black market and get some. Came back, my babe ate some...I no fit chew anything sef, all appetite gone. Just walked into bathroom to have a shower... Later...babe said " how about what doctor told us to do" I was like what? She said we should make love now...I just switched on the fan and covered myself with duvet without uttering a word. Few hours later, we sha do am, with long hours before I could get an erection. Saturday morning , called the nurse and she said we should come. Got to clinic....Sat, waited for the doctor... She checked in, I was praying within me- - Only God knows who I was praying too... 3-4 hours later, I was told everything has been done by the nurse, but she can't go now. My heart skip a beat, I imaging nollywood movies how doctors and nurses do play gimmick and later say ..I'm sorry...lol Thank God ....It was Successful... Went to pick her up Sunday evening... Looking tired...none of us were even bothered about exam...Ah! This life.... Exam Result came out next session... I failed in flying colors, had 3 carry overs...CGPA dropped from second class upper to lower... For her, she managed to scale through, scored 40s - 50s being social sciences. Fast forward 2 sessions after..babe graduated... Guy had an extra year... Babe went for service...Guy struggled, couldn't make up for loss marks, settled for second class lower... Babe Got a job with a Brewery, well paid.... Guy man was still struggling... Babe wanted to get married, she was pressured, extreme pressure... Guy man yet to distinguish her left hand from right yet, no finance...still squatting... I later withdrew from her due to her undue pressure... Later babe got married to another man who is ready, relocated to the States. Guy man attended interviews upon interviews, later sha got a Job with a dairy company. Babe and guy later reconnected on social media...WhatsApp and all... $X babe keep sending to guyman at all times Fast forward to 2020... Babe shipped two cars to Guy man, one to be sold and refund the money to ship another and the other as a gift... 22nd of December, babe would be coming to Nigeria provided all travel retriction are lifted... 11 Likes 1 Share |

shilenji: Bro, you are going to be one of the few happy people in this world. What you have found is called YOUR PURPOSE When a man’s dreams, vision and plans aligns with his spiritual soul, he meets his PURPOSE on earth and from that moment on, Life would become meaningful to him. Many people think making money, having a good paying job etc are what makes a PURPOSE but they are far from it. Many people are rich… agreed but didn’t get that Purpose. Many won’t understand you nor understand what I am writing because only few we get to that point in life. It is only meant for selected few 4 Likes |

SoapQueen: At the bolded is true. I don’t even know if to call mine a regret or mistake. Among my colleagues, we all decided to raise money and travel to UK to upgrade our license to foreign one and that was 5-8 years ago. Most did and it cost around 7m then for a year program in UK but I decided to venture into biz with mine. Though I have learnt a lot about business during that time but it failed I lost the money and struggled for a long time while my friends are back. Then, early this year the industry changed. Saudi Arabia started employing Nigerians mostly with foreign tickets and my mates are earning 5m naira monthly presently. Can you imaging that, 5 foocking million naira every Blessed 30 foocking days. That is crazy I mean crazy. Really absurd. Thinking about that money sef they burst my head. Have been thinking how my life would have been earning such outrageous money. How my life would have turned drastically. Nobody saw the future, nobody knew a day like this would come. I have deduced from all these that it is better to be prepare for an opportunity but didn’t come rather than for the opportunity to come but not prepared. I feel guilty and my souls aches because deep down I know I could have done better and I have no excuse for not because I had the time and resources to do it then. Now it is looking like too late. This foreign course now cost between 12m to -5m due to naira devaluation. Those guys would be earning at least 40m per year while I may only make 25% of that from my present job. It is well and the only consolation now is that I believe my business will flourish sha. 6 Likes |
