SimplePlan34: I strongly disagree with you. I believe that there is a seed of greatness inside everyone. We only have to recognize it first, then nuture it jealously to fruition. For example, Jack Ma, Colonel Sanders of KFC and several others 1 Like |

I have cone thus far but i have been stagnant for 3 years. No forward or backward. I have prayed but God refused to answer and bring better opportunities. I have decided to use my mental ability and stop seeking any form of divine assistance. Western societies didn't come this far by praying. I have decided to make it on my own. It's possible that some prayers even block blessings instead of bringing it forth 1 Like 1 Share |

Goddys: Don’t give up on God, that’s why he is called “KABIYESI” , a God you can not question. He does things on his own way and at his own time. Just keep holding on to him. Your desired answer and breakthrough is nearer than you can imagine. Be come closer to Jesus He loves you. Lastly, please don’t you ever do anything illegal. 1 Like |

I'm from a northern state where western education is not given much attention. My father is interested in farming but I'm interested in studies because I'm very brilliant. When I finished primary school I couldn't continue because of the above problem, a friend of my father took me to govt junior secondary of the area and payed one term school fee. When I finished, most of brilliant and average students are wrote science and technical exams to continue Senior secondary education in a better schools (usually boarding), I'm the only one that didn't apply because no one would support me. I'm so depressed and confused. So I continued in the same school (worst case). It turns out to my advantage because during the first term of my SS1, I got scholarship opportunity from American embassy( during G. Bush regime), they sponsor brilliant students to pursue 3 year secondary education in a better school, paying everything and given us books and transport allowances. I graduated with very good results and later joined university and graduated with first class in engineering. I was retained as a lecturer and sponsored abroad to further my education. As I speak now, I'm a PhD researcher at Europe and will soon finish my research. I do alot of hussles from local businesses to private lessons to sustain my self. 11 Likes |

Search for your niche. The odd is truly stacked against you but you have to be very clear with what you want. It might not be a smooth ride but it is very possible. In my case, I knew my best bet was education but then cost. So, I must go to a Federal Institution. Almighty JAMB almost truncated that ambition before I "borrow sense". I went to polytechnic first before coming back to Unilag. I told myself from day one that I had no parent to look for a job for me. Therefore, I must finish among the very best in my class; with distinct abilities. I actually achieved that and got my job offer (banks; got many) before leaving Unilag. Then come the new face of the struggle; surviving the corporate world. I worked with 4 banks withing 7years and another FMCG. I rarely lack a job but the satisfaction was not there. Then, I had to rely on my talent again for a new beginning. I decided to travel out of the country, but how? Canada? My best choice but quite expensive. Then, I realized I could look for scholarships for my education as the shortest route to whatever location. I started the journey on September 2, 2017, when I sent over 25 emails to lecturers in Australia. It was a very demotivating and difficult process (rejection rate) before God finally gave me that lone voice from the least expected of source. I read Accounting but the person interested in me was an Environmental Scientist (UNISA)! That was when the process started having meaning. To cut the long story short, I did not win the scholarship to UNISA butttttttttttt I won 3 other scholarships - Holland, Austria/Hungary, and Qatar. I eventually settled for Austria/Hungary. On September 2, 2019 (exactly 2 years after) I stepped into my dream in style. While I can't claim to be rich as of today, I am enjoying the very best life has to offer- traveling to countries I never thought of, fantastic accommodation and access to training opportunities. In essence, concentrate on your talent and never listened to Naysayers. You will meet many of them along your path to success. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I was born in a very poor farmily but things got worse when my dad died(I was in ss11 then). when I went to the polytechnic it was my maternal aunties that paid my fees... I did my HND in Computer Engineering without a phone or laptop, this limited my development (as far as practical learning is concerned). with this and many other challenges, I managed to graduate with 3.50. I was lucky to be posted to redeemers college of technology and management(RECTEM) for NYSC. we were used for accreditations when NBTE came. my service year at redemption camp was one of the best years of my life... l remember being called by the registrar. She asked me if I will like to stay with them after my nysc...Why not! I prayed fasted and hoped but it never came to pass. that would have been the. turning point in my life and that of my family... as at now I'm back home ( Kaduna state) teaching at a private school. I also take private lessons to compliment my small salary I also bought a laptop hoping to start learning web debt/ programming... Age is not on my side but I'm not resting on my oars... still hoping... still pushing... God bless our hustles... 8 Likes 2 Shares |

OK, after Corona I will finish my story, but for now, My father was not that rich,,died when I was 11, my rich uncle promised to take care of my school fees so my mum can take care of the rest ,he paid my first term fee, but wanted to fukkk my mum who was still morning her husy, remember,she is still wearing her black clothes, not upto 1 month he died, my mum asked him if he was crazy to make such demand, the uncle became soooo mad and turned his back to my family, we enjoyed the hardship like no other ,in my second year in secondary school, we went to the place my brother was serving someone as a BOI BOI to borrow his only sandals so I could continue with my education, we later went back to him after few years to see if he could change his mind, but he told us to go fuukk ourselves, that day, I told him that in few years to come ,his kids must come to me for help, ladies and gentle men, he said that such will never never happen, because he made enough money that covers his kids till eternity, I was 14 then, and I told him , lets bet it will happen, to my own surprise, he brought out his fat hand and made a bet with me. fast forward 25years later, brothers and sisters, am helping his kids now, there is God and and AS LONG AS AM ALIVE, 100K WILL NEVER NEVER BE A PROBLEM TO ME, AND NOW, I HAVE ATLEAST 30PAIRS OF SHOES 7 Likes |
