Boarding school, early-mid nineties. I had this panchant of not being able to play football barefooted so I always wear them slippers. As a boarder, all scrap change must be conserved for other important expense so spending it on a cobbler was a no-no.

Funny enough, I carried same attitude to high institution. Can't forget my first semester when my course mate (a babe) happened to see my slippers with safety pin underneath. She laughed at me so hard and I became a topic and illustration of poverty to her. I just avoided the bi'tch like a plague. It was just a matter of time b4 she realized her folly.

( That's why I detest when young ladies go after married folks, it ain't cool atall angry

Na slippers God use take answer all of your prayers in the family.

Teach your daughters too not to follow married men, also teach them to teach their daughters( I'm sure you don't follow.. )

Let me enlighten you...first and foremost It was around 1995 and then N10 has N500 value today meaning an aboki will probably collect far less but even at that the money was not available.

Back in school I had to fend for myself. I will go to alaba international to sell Ice blocks, look for accomodation for other students and get a cut from the agency fees and I also manage an old pool board that I set up every evening around 5p.m and I had to leave school to set it up everyday.

Yet with all these I had to manage to pay for my off campus room,feed, buy hand outs and many more.

Some people are fortunate to have rich parents whilst some went through hell but contrary to your conclusion...my experience has made me a better person filled with empathy for humans.

You took a very big risk by doing that. Just thank goodness that you can walk with your two legs today.

If otherwise had happened and your legs got ravished by tetanus infection, what would you have done?

Thank goodness for your life today sha.

Poverty my master my teacher.

When my sanders would break like this I will fix it, my tv, my basins, clothes.

Expand this to a wider understanding and you may see why we fail in many things. We no longer know how to fix things. Hence we no longer inventive and we no longer have connection with things. Our old tv Served us so long, when we gave it out eventually we all felt like crying. That was for an inanimate object. It was a member of the family and we knew it.

Enter wealth and his endless power of choice. If the phone breaks, trow it away and get a new one, ...if the TV blew up, trow it away and get a new one, if the shirt needs patch, trow it away. People will laugh.

Human relationships are worst in this order. If the girl or guy is bad. Trow her away and get a new one. "I can't take this from any man or woman". There are many fishes in the sea.

We need to go back to the days when we fix things.

Wealth and too much choice is killing love and connection as should be.






This is the best post on this thread.

Our inability to fix things is the reason why people bail out of marriages when it gets hot. They opt for divorce instead of fixing it.

The ability to fix things got killed by people who think you are just broke for still trying to stick to a broken thing

I remember looking for office pin,safety pin or a small nail then to pierce an opening before I put binding wire through.It last longer with binding wire than any other stuff.
It was a regular thing that I was not different from a destitute.I thank God it is not present age where they pick sane people that have been ravaged by poverty,label them as desitute and ship them back to their respective states.
Just like the Jewish survivors "NEVER AGAIN'

[quote author=candlewax post=76709496]

[Your story touched me sir. Very deeply and thanks for sharing it. But I got a little question . Did you really think that God sincerely abandoned you or shut his ears against you while you passed through those phases of your life?. The church might abandoned you or uncared but did God. Bros I believed you are familiar with the account of Job. Was yours too bad as Job. His experience didn't make him to denied the existence of God
I believe now you are at peace. Perhaps your bouncing back had the hand of God. Perhaps you may return and acknowledge him. Perhaps later in life. Once again, thanks for sharing it. I pray that all that you have will continue to increase and that the Peace of God that surpasses human understanding will be with you in your journey of life.Shalom
