MONEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM: a true life story.

When i was around the age of 19 and 20, all my friends had girlfriends and i was the only one left out. my guys always made jest of me calling me all sort of names saying that i needed to upgrade. But i came to think about it that i wear better stuffs than these guys and i even make far better grades in school than most of them, so what could be my problem. Wandering in the wilderness of these thoughts i realized that the only thing which these guys probably do better than me is that they posses and spend more money than me. Even one of my so called friends advised me to go step up my level if i wanted to be happy like them insinuating that having a girlfriend is tantamount to being happy.
You know what? I heeded to the veracity of my thought as a teenager that i was and i also heeded to my friend's advice. So i traveled out of my hometown during school holiday period and did all kinds of menial jobs and even physically demanding jobs. Having it in mind that after that period i would become above my friends' par and that i would even keep as many as three girlfriends so i could become happier than my friends. All these i naively thought.

So after months of plenteous hard work, i returned to school a bigger boy than i left it. I became the talk of the town, every 'guy' wanted to roll with me. I felt very happy but to my greatest surprise, only those girls that used to identify with me before still do so, it was like the other girls did not send me. I was stunned but i concluded that maybe i had to approach them first.
So i set out to approach a first girl, the beautiful Anne, she rejected me saying that i lacked confidence, I went after the ebony Princess (black beauty), Princess said she was taken, i swallowed the insult and then approached Opeyemi, she turned me down maintaining that i wasn't her type. I was growing increasingly frustrated so i went to Olamide who accepted me and we became friends.

My friendship with Olamide started growing so fast as i was spoiling her with gifts and taking her to best attractions around the community. I was doing all these envisaging myself in that faithful day that i will take her to a secret place and kiss her cause that's how my satisfaction would come but alas Olamide had another thing in mind. The first day i had the opportunity to kiss her, she demanded the sum of 2000 from me before i could do that. I asked her why and she said that she needed to buy some underwear and i was like but "i love you and am ready to do anything for you" but she said that i should prove it by giving her the money. I became very annoyed and went back to my house. My relationship with Ola ended when it was not even up to 2 months old.

To cut the long story short, I repeated that cycle till my final year at the university when i decided to forget about distractions and focus on myself and my career. This i did with optimum seriousness that at the time of my graduation i already had a small business that i started with my little savings. That made me to cruise around with confidence. Obviously i also became every ladies' type not because i had a lot of money to spend but because i loved myself first and i put my career first among other priorities.
As i write this piece, am smiling back at my one and only sweet heart as she just told me that 'am the best thing to have happened to her': Isn't that great? we will get back to that.

The moral lesson of this write up cuts across all walks of life. That money cannot be your problem if you can put yourself and your career first, do the first things first you will get whatever you want to get.

I know that some people will be more interested in knowing who my wife is than taking the moral lesson of these story but please forget about that and have it at the back of your head today that MONEY IS NOT A HINDRANCE TO ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS.
