I'm Officially An Orphan by youngscholar(op):
I was coming back from school back then in 2010, then I was in JSS1 (10yrs old). I was heading home from school under a hot sun, when I came across a friend who instantly told me that "Lanre, your dad is dead". I didn't know how I took my legs to run. As I was running, I could see various pitying faces looking at me.

When I got home, I saw a lot of sittings, my mum and family members all crying. I didn't know how I went to the ground crying and weeping

That was on the 10th of October 2010.

Fast Forward to 2016.
I'm through with secondary school. I have always had interest in tech, been coding (Wapka websites) since SS1. I got a job offer to be a media editor for an automotive company. This was a platform to tune my skills.

I started learning web development, building mobile apps and with the little I learnt, I got few clients here on Nairaland. I've been a member of Nairaland since 2016.

To cut the story short, on Feb 14, my mum was rushed to LUTH due to a sickness she's been struggling with since 2021. (She had a serious accident in August 2020).

I stayed with my Mum in LUTH for almost 2 months not until yesterday April 4th 2023 when she gave up the ghost.

Though painful but God has taken back what he has given.

Now, it's just God and my siblings.

Please I need your prayers as we move on.

I pray you never experience such. Amen.

Fast Forward to 2016.
I'm through with secondary school. I have always had interest in tech, been coding (Wapka websites) since SS1. I got a job offer to be a media editor for an automotive company. This was a platform to tune my skills.

I started learning web development, building mobile apps and with the little I learnt, I got few clients here on Nairaland. I've been a member of Nairaland since 2016.

To cut the story short, on Feb 14, my mum was rushed to LUTH due to a sickness she's been struggling with since 2021. (She had a serious accident in August 2020).

I stayed with my Mum in LUTH for almost 2 months not until yesterday April 4th 2023 when she gave up the ghost.

Though painful but God has taken back what he has given.

Now, it's just God and my siblings.

Please I need your prayers as we move on.

I pray you never experience such. Amen.
Accept my sincerest condolences.
