Embarking on a project bigger than my business cheesy, I saw shege—business almost crashed; to chop come be wahala.

But thank God I am through with the project, and business is slowly recovering.

May God help me.

My children or siblings will not make such a mistake again.
I'm on this same boat, worse of it is that, the project is just 50% done, before I suspended it before my business will collapse entirely, next year, I will continue from where I stop, though I've no much regrets in my own case, because the project itself is a capital project, if I'm able to finish it, it'll increase my wealth significantly.

When I had the opportunity to travel out around June, visa and flight everything was paid for, but I postponed it till next year and right now this is what I need... To get the hell out of this country but I don't know if I'll still get back the chance.

Re-signing from a salary job to try a huzzle I've been thinking of..

Spent money on awareness and promotion..the business didn't work out as i had expected..Salary for my previous position was increased by 100% 4months later

Hunger wan kpai me

Back to square 1..at a security job but keeping the hustle alive
E good like that.

I am sure you didn't even inform the employer on notice that you were leaving. You just left without caring if it affects the company negatively or not.

If you even told them and they tried to convince you to stay back, so they can get a replacement or train another staff on the job, you would think you were a superman and they wanted to enslave you. I guess you were listening to motivational speakers telling you that salaried job is slavery.

You romanticised about your business ideas without proper judgement and found out the hard way.

I have had employees like you. Some even shamelessly come back begging for their jobs.

Una go learn the hard way, this Gen-Z generation.

Many people are walking reservoirs of these viruses..

You know the thing about it? Condoms can't prevent it as long as any part of your groin or skin touches the other person's fluid or skin during intercourse, it latches onto the skin and festers..

From the way you write you will be an arrogant and wicked manager. You are talking as if you have never made mistake in your life. You pay peanut and you want them to slave for you forever. Why do start your own business instead of working for someone? Mumu man

Earlier this year , I vow to start up a small business.
I set up a charging and pos business together .
I spent close to 1m plus to start the business.
I put the business in the hand of my female Friend to manage and balance me every week..
It was complain upon complain I got from her.
Every month month charger got burnt , this and that.
After 6 months I decided to close down the shop.
And the only thing I could sell was just charging socket and gen to recover.
Guess what I sold them for only 250k.
Omo I wan run mad.
1m plus for put for treasury bills or stocks .
Or carry am go parther with loan company ..

Life no easy

Re: Worst Decision You Made That Affected Your Life This Year by BrosG007: 9:16pm On Dec 03, 2025
Worst decision I made this year was joining Jehovah Witnesses. I'm not saying they are not good people ooooo, but kinda of a strange way of life. I started going this year February, still yet I don't feel belong. Those people that claim love and support in Jehovah witness are just overreacting. Nothing like that. They hardly relate with each other. I noticed their support are limited to those baptized in the congregation.

Their lives are like just there. Nothing exciting more like sadist. I decided to give church a chance this year, but mistakenly choose Jehovah Witnesses. If I have choosing other praise and worship church, I know things would have been different.

I look are the earliers children, and I know they ain't happy doing that house to house stuff.

Worse decision ever

I hope you learnt a very valuable lesson.

Keep friends and family (especially the entitled specie) far away from your business, unless they have genuinely earned the position and have the discipline to respect both you and what is involved.

Don't wait for another friend or family member to teach you a more expensive lesson.

Learn from other people's bitter experiences so you don’t have to learn all of them the hard way.

In your case the lesson feels extra painful because the investment was relatively heavy, but take it as school fees.

Really a costly mistake. In today's Nigeria, never resign from a job to start a business full time. It is best for thr business to be already established and paying you at least double of your salary before you resign from the salary job

See them, being emotional.

Ol'boy, nobody owes you anything is this life. In Nigeria, more than 50 million youths are jobless and companies are struggling to stay afloat, and yet paying salaries, together with other expenses and overheads in this toxic economy.

So be thankful when have you a job and a piece to eat.

Your business ideas, no matter how 'romantic' will also have to face the realistic hurdles of toxic govt. policies, levies, terrible staff, competitors and other legions of problems facing neonate businesses..

In business, you go hard or go home. Again, nobody owes you anything.

Omorr, nothing really easy for this life.
1. Get a foreign account
2. Make your subtitle short
3. Don’t repeat any word that appears in your title in your subtitle
4. Stop keyword stuffing
5. Avoiding backend keywords will go a long way to help you stop your book from being block

You guys don't know that allah was a name given to a deity(moon god) being worshipped by Arabian pagans and polytheists far before islam was founded in 610AD??

Mohammed retained the name after tricking & convincing the local arabs that he was sent by the same deity(allah) they were serving
