they can't think by themselves, they believe on their pastors than husband, they always believe that there is something negative that is chasing them, they don't believe on themselves.
Exactly!!!

No I start working immediately... I have a small office in my living room, so I just start working immediately till around 8am when I go to work so if you work from 2 am till 5pm there's no way your body won't crave sleep around 6 - 7pm and by 8pm its already getting too late for me to sleep you could see sleep all over my face at this time
Love800:
Wow.

After waking up around 1am or 2am, do you still go back to sleep?

A lot of women share this mindset, it's not a good one but you shouldn't have allowed it lead to a break up
we are still together and am managing her like that

Okay. But talk to her and let her change her mindset. Relationship between two people should be bonded by true love and understanding and not one person managing the other.

HND or BSC... What difference does it make in today's Nigeria?
Except you are pursuing a career in Teaching/Lecturing, I tell you sincerely that You didn't make any mistake by going for HND, neither are you correcting any mistake by doing BSC.
The world has changed and even our country has got worse... There are many master degree holders with no meaningful job. There are PHD holders working for people that has no certificate.
I am a graduate with HND, after 13 years without a job, I had to go and learn a trade. Now I got a job through the trade I learned, not with my certificate.
Guess what...
The guy that trained me(crane operator), is an (academic) illiterate. But he has worked for two big companies... Presently, he earn close to 900k a month.

My greatest mistake in life is going to higher institution... Without learning a good trade earlier in life.
Insightful,

Please what kind of trade did you learn or will you advise one to learn.

Courtship of less than 7months turn marriage..
All I can say is destiny.
Don't allow her to frustrate your life with her low life, low class and low self esteem. Seeing you argue with her give them the impression that they're important in your life.
Don't spend too much time trying to convince her that, "That is not what I mean" . She's injuring you small small, before you realise it, you will be less interested in most things you love to achieve as a man. i.e...hustling to buy car, want to buy another plot of land, want to do this and that.....
Don't follow them argue, just play with her, fvck her and go out there and watch football, don't take her matter too serious.
Don't even try to take her matter to heart.
They're evil.
Thank God if your wife never start to dey talk bad about you to everybody.. her family and friends.

1. Most opportunities won't come twice.
2. Nobody really cares about you.
3. Don't try to please anyone but God.
4. As a lady, if your blood group is anything O, like O+, O- do not hesitate to get married early because child bearing might be difficult in your late 20's and thirties. unless you don't really care about kids. Avoid abortion at all cost while you're young!
5. Avoid anything friends!
6. Just because someone is smiling with you doesn't mean that they love you, perhaps if you see what's in their heart, you'll forever avoid them.
7. Don't just assume that connection will come to you. Go out! Meet new people, anything good can come out of it.
8. Don't ever take your security for granted, wherever you live, make sure it's well secured, don't keep your pots of cooked rice or whatever close to your kitchen windows. Even the neighbours aren't to be trusted sometimes.
9. Whenever you call any electrician or anyone to come and fix something in your house, do not be so quick to leave, stay there with them and monitor every thing. Don't give them food, let them work and leave.
10. Never tell people your sources of income or what you earn, not even family members.


Let me stop here for now.
You tried.

I was addicted to my routine that I got to be effective at what medium ever I get to find myself, although there'd got to be a person at last for what ever inqires, rather than falling into places later assuming for enquires.

You're referring to a religious person not spiritual.

If you have someone who is really born again NOT religious in your life, you have won a jackpot.

You mean as a male teacher? What happened? How did she frame you up? Were you having intimate conversations with her through chatting? Cuz that’s the only way a female student can frame you up
She was so stubborn to quit. The pressure was so much that I considered quitting the school. A 13 year old girl for that matter. I was even scared to report. I resorted to advice instead and guess what, the advice no work ooo. No intimate conversation at all.

The best way would’ve been to daughter zone her, that’s what I do. Call her your daughter, treat her like one and it’ll disarm them.
13yrs old? That’s crazy man

I have read through all the posts and no one mentioned depression and the damages it can cause. I consider this the worst mistake or regret of my life.
I experienced a stage of depression early this year that I later researched to be the "self destructive stage". You all may have heard about people cutting themselves to bleed just to feel better. Yeah that's it. But mine was bad.
Long story short, nothing interested me I needed to feel hurt and alive. So I took all of my savings 35m put it in a random trade with hopes to loose. Tried those for three days consecutively and never lost and in the fourth day I went all in again and lost it all.
My eyes opened and I felt the pain but no it didn't end there.
The next thought was "now you have lost it all, there is no need living.. It's better you end it". Suicidal thoughts came strongly. I fought it and till now I just float.

I know many people are not familiar with this stage of depression and most people will say it is village people and stuff. However, you can Google it.
Lastly, if anyone has experienced any thing like this please quote. I will like to hear your story especially how you bounced back.
I have been there. I struggled with this for 5 years. I am currently married and after birthing my child, I fell into depression again. Still struggling

What’s the cause of the depression? The poster you quoted above had 35M so I’m sure lack of money wasn’t the cause of his depression. What could make a grown man depressed if he’s at least doing well for himself? Some people can’t even afford basic things of life, yet they’re are still hopeful of a better tomorrow and keeping showing up each day by day. I don’t understand. The only thing that can make me depressed is poverty cuz the world is cruel to a poor man

A 2 nights quickies with a family female friend which resulted me being infected with a stubborn STD that am still battling with now. As if she knew what she did to me, she has not stepped her feet to our house since then. I have not even got close to my wife since, for fear of infecting her.

...the infection normally scratches me around my private with offensive odour. I will appreciate any medication advice
