Yes, I've been creating threads about SA tribes for ages, where were you?😒😒😒
The handle in the thread was disabled/deactivated. That's why I asked. Most likely, it's not this handle that you used. You mentioned your tribe in the thread. Sounds like you're from a minority tribe. Am I right?

It's the third largest tribe...😐😐😐

What about you? What is your tribe? And please don't tell me it's Yoruba or Igbo, because it's like this forum is packed with those two...😑😑😑

Sharaap! Who gave you the right to call me a Simp?

But really, I've been one sha.

Lessons learnt. grin
Don't feel too bad. Lots of men are simps towards their women, only they won't admit it. Hard not to be a simp towards a woman you really like. And women sense it and take advantage and before long you're under their control, even scared of them, and you can't reverse it!

Sorry for your loss bro.

A friend introduced me to Future trading last year. I lost over $2k. The sad part was while I was losing, this bros kept sending screenshots of his profits. He has over $30k, so it’s easy for him to make profits.

1. Not putting myself first cry
2. Telling my family I'm into Forex
3. Not having sex during my teenage

But the most painful is not putting myself first.

For the young kings, never spend your first big bag on family. I paid so much black tax and ended back where I came from, like I never left because I wanted to be a 'good child'. Paid over 6 million worth of loans for my mum. Spent another 3 million trying to set her up. All went down the drain. Funny thing, the stupid hag keeps calling me for loans I know nothing about. While I am quietly drowning. Lol. I work with my dad. Made profit of about 150m during the period I was trying to set up my mum (thinking my cut from the 100m would be for me to set up myself). My pops bought me an SUV in my name for #13m as a 'surprise'. And that was it. Not even 1 kobo from the 100m for maintenance or fuel. Lol.

My boss I've been working with for about 3 years now. Can't ask for more loyalty. I fucking bashed my SUV from my other hustle, chasing money with my boss, expecting some mad funds to roll in. After we lost over #450m in last minute dropped deals in 2025, I tried not to mount financial pressure on my boss. But tell me why I casually saw payment receipts from 2024 issued by the office to the govt ministry when I did all the work and my boss been acting like the ministry hadn't paid all this while. The job was small sum. #10m. meant to be a start for bigger contracts. And my Voss received #7m since 2024. I didn't even know. Lol.

It hurts. But we live and we learn. Walai. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't treat any of these people the way they treated me.

Last last na only yourself you know.
Chai!

But good things keep happening to people like you for a reason, so don't be bitter.
You don't know what you're doing that keeps on attracting good to you. [You seem to attract financial blessings easily]
So, don't corrupt/interrupt that with bitterness and resentments.
Just be more wise, and don't allow people take advantage of you.

What would you have gained by that if you had become a teenage father?
Did that stop you from having sex later on in life?

Loving my wife, respecting her, and always saying "okay" to all her demands because I always wanted to make her happy.
I later learnt that women dont respect and love a peace loving man. Soft men are always a prey in women's hands.

Speaking from experience.
I learnt it in a very hard way.

It's all good all the same. grin
Are you still together?

Not really...If I had explored my sex fantasies earlier, much much younger, it would have been better.
Now man just have to focus, and I'm kinda scared I might get addicted to it.
It's better I become successful first.

Thanks bro.
I hope God will help. I dont easily fall in love, but when I do, I give them all the attention, love and respect. Another thing about this particular one is, we met in the church, we belonged to same church unit, and I trusted her so much believing she'd behave expectedly as a Christian. I was wrong.

You won't be the first bro. Appearances can be VERY, VERY deceiving!! Until you know somebody well, you don't know them!! No matter how attractive and charming they are!

Aje, life no get any specific manual, some times you do all the needful about a particular goal but still end up with bad results. Someone somewhere may do just 70% of what you did and boom he achieve his goal. Grace, Favour, Luck are all needed to achieve our goals, may we not hustle in vain.

e never understand life... people when never understand life dey quick blame others if they fail in something...In life,you can do everything right and still end with bad results.

If you have laptop. Start from the basic, learn graphic design, do facebook advert and get customers.

Or you can enter advance, learn website design, ui/ux, app development. All are digital skills. You can be learning and working at the same time.

Moral : JOBS CAN LEAVE YOU BUT SKILL CAN'T.

I am a professional graphic designer, I can teach you graphic design to a master level (photoshop/ illustrator). Classes are 1 on 1. You must learn.

Mine was believing in pastors for too long. I believed the gospel of christ would solve my spiritual problems. Went to prayer mountains, fasted biribiri until I realised I should have gone traditional. Eye don open.
Exactly traditional solutions and even religion most times works or act faster than the so called imported religions let me don't call it scam though.

But in today's society people tag traditional worshippers as devilish people but not knowing that's d real deal to solve many problems

Same thing with me, one man came to my office in 2012 and discussed about land with me, N100k per plot, I was capable of buying like 5 plots that time, when d man took me there, i condemned the place that the area can never developed but my last ever rented apartment was at same area in 2020 n it was N450k per year. I always regret not buying the land that time
Mine was even worse..
Instead of buying in that location I tagged it reverine and go to ikorodu to buy till date the house or property don't worth 100m .

Whereby if it's d LEKKI axis the land alone worth more than that 😭😭😭

My mistake is marrying to change her but unknowingly she doesn't need change. Guys be wiser than me when choosing your partner
Yes marriage doesn't change anybody instead it will reveal are weakness that u don't even see clearly during dating.

I like your kind of person...You pity your unborn children enough,not to bring them into this hellhole.
Stop that statement the same Nigeria people or many parents produced good children that succeeded in this so called economy .

If it's not working for your or your family doesn't mean you should abuse the country entirely .
