Sorry about that. I focus more on the business side of things. Talking about arrogance, you're right — it's quite appalling.

Unfortunately, I don't really know how addiction works. Could you explain to us? One thing about me is: I love improving and I love learning.

With the detailed explanation you're about to post, I'll definitely glean one or two things. Thank you and God bless as I await your explanation.

ChildOfDoom:
When a male child is born, there is rejoicing as there is a belief that a boy will uphold the family name. But my case is different. I have been more of a curse than a blessing to my family. Infact, 50 percent of boys these days are wayward as they are influenced by the Western World

I love the way you wrote this and explained, I have an a bit of personal experience with addiction ( Marijuana and Alcohol), and trust me I kinda don't feel pity for OP or feel sad for him. His outcome is as a result of his willpower. Right now I love what you wrote the idea of writing a story so it can show the youth how to deter from gambling that's an opportunity for him. So I dont think what you wrote is arrogant if anything you're the only one looking to help him monetize his misery.

I like the line, "Monetize his Misery." I may turn it to a book called "Monetize Your Misery."

When someone hates you, everything you do will always appear appalling, distasteful, and arrogant to him or her.

There is one thing I tell people and that is: despite how humble you are or mind your business, someone will definitely call you arrogant or egotistic because they don't like you in the first place or because you once ignored them.

Ignoring hurts, so people always make sure they revenge by name calling.

One thing I want anyone who reads this to take home with is: ever since you were born, if no one has ever called you arrogant, egotistic, ITK, or an idîot, you'll never be successful.

Why? If no one has ever called you any of the above, it means you're an introvert who hides in fear and never dares to take action.

Those who are outspoken and take action in life get "abused to success," but those who don't take action because of fear of being abused get "reduced to depression."

These sets of depressed people are always the ones who abuse those that take actions and call them arrogant. Why? Because they've been "reduced" so they need to "abuse" by calling people names to feel good.

Humans are revengeful emotional creatures. It takes willpower to forgive or ignore, just the same way it takes willpower to stop addiction or caution the devil to flee from you. God has given all of us power to command and it shall be so, but we gave our powers always just for immediate gratification.

As I always say, "Immediate gratification is the beginning of regrets."

Whenever I go out and I see mad people, I no longer feel pity for them. A lot of them know what they did. Only a few are innocent, and for the innocent ones, healings will come to them one day.

Now, back to the topic. Our miseries in life is our hidden wealth — if only we can document them. Whenever I see or hear people complain of a problem, I automatically start analyzing the solution and how it can be turned to strength in my small brain.

People should be solution-oriented, not problem-oriented. Problem must come and it's inevitable.

I just purchased a 38-page book on Amazon Kindle some hours ago for $2.99 and what the author talked about is something someone I know has been through and solved.

This 38-page book is ranked high with more than 100+ reviews. That book is raking in millions of Naira.

So, pains, depression, frustration, anger, emotional torture, etc. is an opportunity to be wealthy.

Back in my secondary school days, I was skinny, so people made fun of me and called me lots of derogatory names. In the university, I had to hit the gym in any opportunity I get. Today, I have big muscles, six packs, and a fit body, but most of those who abused me have 1 pack and slim pocket.

For being fit, I have put myself in a position to write fitness books. On Amazon, fitness books are hot. This same thing happened in my dating life and every other aspects.

I used to suck, but today, those bad days are my wealth now because I worked on them, solved them, and now I'm making money teaching the solution to people in exchange for cash.

These bad experiences and emotional abuses I had as a child are the reasons I see everything as cash, not problem. Everywhere I go in Nigeria, I see untaped cash, but it's unfortunate the people in most of those environments are financially blind or unserious.

So, with willpower and belief, Mr. ChildofDoom will turn to a millionaire, but he is not ready. You know you have a problem, yet your moniker is reeked of pessimism and negativity.

He needs to refute the dark voice in his head by himself. Most of us helped ourselves by ourselves. I started reading lots of motivational and business books like Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon, books by Ben Carson, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and a host of other books.

While reading books, I was constantly exercising. Even when I go for a run, I play the audio versions of those books and plug my headphone as I exercise.

Any youth who can't read books or exercise, but always ready to watch porn, BBN, masturbate, watch football, play bet, check Facebook, Instagram, etc. is not ready for life. In fact, that person is mad.

We all have 24 hours per day and way you use yours, you'll give account to yourself and your unborn children.

I no longer read as much books now as I used to — I write now for others to read while I go home with the money. Though, I still read for pleasure and finding new niches, but not as much anymore.

Finally, the youths should stop being weak and being pressured into addiction by peer pressure.

Being addicted to something is not 100% bad. The bad side is not legally channeling the addiction to wealth. In fact, it's a sin if you can't turn your addiction, obsession, or passion to money after 10 years or even 5 years. Any addiction you can't turn to money, drop it — it will ruin your life.

Filmewell:
Eyah! You now no you have a problem so deal with it. You may want to ask how. Join an AA group sort of a thing. Maybe your own will be GA(gambling addict) .talk about it too someone that cares until you hate the act and not yourself.
Don't mind relapse period, if you keep fighting you will make it.
Besides you still have hope but you need to stop comparing yourself to others they may be secret wasted sperm too. Just that they are good in hiding it.

Epistle? I know. who even ask me

ijesuoboikxp1:
Many people i know, they are worst than you so you are a very useful sperm, but you don't know it yet... Get a very good job when you got a good source of wealth you won't complain too much... One of my friend always compile a list of bet9ja slip every morning afternoon and so on in fact he has sold his phone one time to play the game so is a great addiction that need a great time, focus, support from others, infact it can lead to long time friendship breakup if you are not careful ....just look for a job to keep you extremely busy so that you will be able to keep your mind of it. . Good lucky...

ChildOfDoom:
you are being helpful but how do i cover lost grounds. Being in a group, if not composed of influential people might not help me.

For example, some one puts 5000 naira in my care. The money in question is probably the first i'm seeing in a long while as money is hard to come by these days.

I begin to think of my needs and i eventually spend from it to get let's say food or drugs or patch my clothes. Immediately that happens, i become scared of the reaction of the person who gave me money to hold.

Then, i'm forced to resort to gambling to see if i can fill up what i used. In the process, i loose it all & get into more trouble. Hmm..

I feel only a secure future can make me change

iLegendd:
Your story can actually be turned to a book to warn the youth. If you write your entire story down, I'll pay you to own the right. Your spelling and grammar is sound.

ChildOfDoom:
wow... Never wrote a book before but i'm interested in the offer

iLegendd:
Do you want to write it like a freelancer would do and I own the copyright after paying you for your writing or you want to write it and own it?

ChildOfDoom:
just choose any option suitable to you. Any one is fine by me as long as it pays. I will start constructing my story by Monday. Once i write, i will send to you. Any length criterion or as lengthy as i wish?

Outline

iLegendd:
I'll treat it like a freelance job. I'll pay for it. This is what you do. If you're using an Android phone to write, install the app Keep My Note and use it to write.

Reason is: it's the best I discovered lately. I lost all my file because I was using one without an option to backup, or syn to to Google Drive, but this app has everything. Even if my phone gets missing, I'll no longer lose my files as I used to. It has auto backup. So, I don't want you to lose whatever you type. For me, I have lost a lot and I don't want others to make those mistakes I made.

Writing Style

Write just the same way you talk (conversational) as you tell your story. Forget about writing it as a motivational book — I'll be the one to add the motivational side. All I want is for you to pour your heart without filter or editing. Keep it blunt and emotional. You can even copy someone of your old posts and add to it.



Extensively talk about...

1. The beginning when all things were good
2. How things began to change and what caused it
3. When things got bad
4. How unbearable it has become
5. Negative thoughts you used to have
6. Every other things that will make the story emotional

I want people who read it to cry after reading. Write in a way where your readers will feel your pains and start crying half way through the book.

Write it in a way that will scare any youth who loves gambling. If there were too much masturbation involved in your journey, loneliness, pains, etc. write all of them down and don't hold back. Don't correct typos — just keep typing and let it flow effortlessly.

If you need recharge card to get started, I'll send you 500 card tomorrow for sub. I want you to get started before the momentum dies. I believe in quick action.

One thing I want to tell those reading this is: even if you're not successful yet, the entire world is waiting to buy and read your stories despite how bad your journey is. In fact, the scarier your story, the better. All you need is to learn how to package it and where to sell it.

ChildOfDoom:
I can't remember when last i even bought a new belt or shoe. I look unkempt. Any little money that comes to me goes to virtual sport. People have lost trust in me. I swindled my last employer, my best friend, my mum and a host of other people to gamble. I had to flee where i once rented because a creditor was after me. I wish i can turn the hands of time. My former classmates have all moved to the next level.

Hmm... It's almost impossible to let go. Since i started, i have lost nothing less than 500k. My addiction to football put me in this mess.

I wish i could stop making my mum sober. I wish i could stop hurting. Life hardly gives 2nd chance. Either i get help and get my life back or i continue

iLegendd:
Noted.

ChildOfDoom:
bro, is the deal still on? I have worked on the phone

iLegendd:
You're right.

Since Nigeria decided to bring in a leader that will torment the nation, when most Nigerians see someone they don't know being tormented physically, spiritually, or financially, they don't care.

Forget the pretense you see around. All of us are selfish. No one wants to help anyone since 2015 except, "Be strong and run to God."
