I am always broke. No be joke. I have plenty sorry stories at my finger tip. Let me not go far, this one happened during the lockdown. Before the lockdown I have no savings. So inside the lockdown was hell. I eat just once a day by parasiting my friends. I have this neighbor who believe in me so much. He knows that I am broke and shy, he never eat without calling me. But he is married with 3 kids. At times when he invites me to come eat with him, his kids like eating with daddy, they will come and put hand even if they have already eaten. I have no choice but to join the family and eat. And this my guy is just an okada man. His bike is deadbeat. But he has a large heart. There is another woman selling restaurant around. That woman is my second saviour. Every evening they will boil and pound banga against tomorrow soup. The kernel they throw near my window. Do you know I wait desperately for these kernels, as soon as they throw it around 8-9pm I will go and pick all and hide it somewhere because by tomorrow morning my compound children will feast on them. In the morning I will carry my hammer, enter backyard and begin to deal with the kernels one by one. I swallow both the juice and the chaff. Then I drink enough water and that's my breakfast. Then I wait for my okada friend for my lunch or dinner. This routine happened for months not days.
#hungerbad

Why dont you do hire purchase with okada or find a block industry or building site? At least you will be getting 1.5k to 3k daily

There was a time I was so broke like a church rat, that I couldn’t afford 20naira Garri.. I was home for 2 days and didn’t eat anything.. when I nearly died the second night, I had to go to my neighbor’s kitchen and guess what, I saw a dirty pot soaked with water that has just been used to prepare yam flour.. I just sat down with it, made sure I wasn’t caught and start eating the dried yam flour at the edges of the pot..

Anything, I will appreciate.

I was born into poverty, raised in there, and continue there. My story mad gon. Days I no see good chop for school even now.
Dropped out of school due to financial constrain... Suffered like mad in school because no money, had low grades not because I'm not intelligent but because before you think of reading you have to eat first. Couldn't pay my fees... Professor Dr. Mrs. Ezeh tore my exam script because I no pay school fees in a core EE course.... Which means automatic carry over....
With little hustle, hunger dey kill person because family responsibility dey my head as the first son.
When I make am, I will give my best to the reform of our educational system, give scholarship to the poor and mentor them to the top, while encouraging them to do same....

I'm trying to explore all options right now
while in school my situation was not different from yours, I still wonder how I was able to finish school with such hardship. I have same intent right now, when I pass over this, the poor I can sacrifice and get to reach will get what they deserve (Education and good life)
Let all good people work to possess that needed influence for the future generation

Laggatumuch:
I suffered both hunger and rejection from my family for being an illegitimate child that the father never agreed to be a father to him saying i wasn't his son, my mom went through terrible things during my birth and that made her hate me with passion, i lived as a househelp in my grandmum's house , that mother to my mum. When my grand mum died life became worse , there was a point i started going for menial jobs and gathered a little bit of money then took off to lagos to hustle , bros life hard me for lagos when i became fustrated i went to scoan for help to even get t.fare to go back home but after telling us they will give us(there were other people there too soliciting for help) they told us to go to welfare , then they chased us away with mobile police. So i said to myself i would go to liberation city at berger but i no get one naira, so i trekked from ikotun to apapa thinking that the berger there was the berger where liberation city is , i used a day for that trekking , when i got there they said liberation city is at ojodu berger , then i trekked from apapa to ojodu berger. they also change am for me there even shouted at me, i no believe my eyes because of wetin i dey watch them do for tv. , i went without food for days . To cut the long story short i left there fustrated. But God still use stranger for around motor park for ojota show me mercy. But today i can say i started in the basement and now am at the rooftop.God changed my story in 2017 and since then i have been living my dream life.Having many assets and helping as many i can help. When my family members saw me they couldn't believe it was me because i was the full definition of poverty before.

Bro God bless you and thank you for your strength.

Rajahbite:
My current situation is very dim, can't even share the experience because right now I'm contemplating suicide because of 70K loan I borrowed for my daughter's surgical operation that I don't have the means to pay back now that it is long overdue

ha suicide ke? Please and please don't go that route ooo, Haba na u gonna leave ur kid more devastated na, please if not for anything at least stay alive for ur kid na , miracles still happen sir they do.

Mrscarter:


If U like a guy U dnt mind waiting. Sum girls form pride n think they too good to wait:-/

You are not wrong. Many of them feel otherwise.

Since we're all sharing, let me share one and release stress, problem no dey ever finish but God got us all Las las

So I got this job around late 2018/2019 to work as an internal auditor for a tech company that got a contract to handle some genealogy project in Ogun state, well how I even got the job sef was a miracle of its own(matter for another day ).

since it was a one man show it did come with it cons sadly.
I was staying with a good pal of mine, and during this tough period he was in Lagos and me alone in the house, flat broke home and around, my boss was in calabar(I was his eyes and ears in Ogun) also going thru some hard times couldn't send me money at the time, generally the project was struggling , I was just down and out with my mind racing what to do, days just eating coaster biscuit with butter mehnnn, coaster biscuits finish my eyes clear guun , I think it was one of those Muslim holidays and the next compound were busy cooking and mehnn the sweet aroma alone was like I was there eating with them, omo I kuku told myself that this is day 3 of no food I can't mumu myself na, I jejeli arrange my native, took my bathe and step out.
Yeah you guessed right, na that compound I go ooo , all in my head is that anyhow ooo I go chop something, I sat behind, thanks to God's grace I got served and I never knew the man doing the odun did notice me, he beckoned me to come over and we talked a bit, lo and behold I got more food to take home(I still remember this day with some tears cos I only prayed to God say even if na one plate of rice Abeg I no mind),he gave me some rice, beans, tomato paste and money for kerosene,see ehn God answers prayers ooo no doubt, omo I flex that food for a week with .

Well I left the job eventually, things never gel yet with me tho but mehnn I do know my best days are coming soon no doubt, let's see how November goes, it will be a good month for me, it's my birth month too .

when i was in my 200l, i used to be a very chronic gambler, i was so addicted to bet9ja virtual game. it got so bad that, despite my parents sending something tangible (5k per week for feeding) , i still looked so wretched , i barely eat good food, i rarely buy under wears for myself not to talk of clothes, any money that enters my hand then is going to bet9ja virtual asap... the last straw that broke the camel's back was during my 200l 2nd semester exam period, i
my dad despite not having enough then sent me my usual weekly allowee, 5k, i went to bet9ja and within an hour all money was gone, it was so terrible that, i starved for 3 days , ate okpa just once within those days, luckily for me on the 4th day ,some of my female neighbors in the lodge came to my rescue, if one gave me food in the morning, another would give me in the evening, that was how i survived that week...its been 3 years i played virtual game , infact i can have 100k in my pocket while in a bet9ja shop, but ill never have the urge to play the game...

dedghoul:
Woah! So many stories...
In this life, one should never wish to live with a people who don't give a damn about your survival. The worst part of living in staying in a place where food is abundant but still go to bed without eating a damn thing. My survival na only God.
Laslas, what doesn't kill you won't make you stronger. It will break your spirit, destroy any form of hope you have for a better future and make you stay contented with misery and pain.
Constant hunger and state of being broke don't only make you malnourished. It will twist your psyche and sanity so much that death becomes an easy way out for those without the strength and will to continue while those who can resort to any means possible to survive.

I just pray that people we make it out of all kinds of difficulties in life ALIVE and UNSCATHED and with our mental wellbeing intact.

I pray help locate you soon. Amen.

You will be surprised at some people's behaviour to prospective helpers that prevents them from receiving help despite the presence of plenty. There is a boy specifically a church member, who works in my mum's business centre. He came for computer training and due to church affiliation, he was admitted for free. There are like 15 trainees in the office. If there is a major job, like plenty typing and photocopy work, he will dodge and be playing with phone. He prefers to gist with friends, go to neighbouring shop to gist, press phone. So, around 2- 3, when my sister wants to prepare indomie Noddles for herself, he will start parading the place, start yawning, asking her if she needs help. After cooking, when she starts eating, he will be using side eye to look at her. My mother will then force my sister to give him part of the food. Whenever he is going home in the evening, my m will still dash him #150 of which the transport fare is like #80. She was like lemme do it for God. Lest I forget, before he resumed in my mother's office, he was well acquainted with my family. He could approach anyone. My dad will give him money, likewise all of us. I can remember a day I paid his laboratory fee for his secondary school. So, you can imagine my surprise when he came to my mother's office and showed his true colours. His behaviour became worse. His dad will give him manuscript to type for him, he will type and wil not pay. If asked of the money, he will say his dad said he will pay later, he still haven't paid though. So, he started stealing discreetly. I guess he thought we didn't know. My family was very surprised about his behaviour. When we see on Sunday, he and his brother weren't coming around us again. I wasn't surprised. I was sure he was concocting bad stories about us to his family. The most disappointing was that his parents never called to appreciate my mother, not even once. After the extensive lockdown and businesses were told to resume, his dad couldn't call my mum to ask her if she had resumed business, instead he called my sister to ask her. And, the next day, he came. You can imagine the audacity. Finally, school resumed some weeks ago and he was going to resume for 2nd semester. My sister asked him why he hasn't gone and he told her it's because of no money. He came throughout that week. Whenever he sees my dad, he will go and greet him. One day, while work was going on in the office, he sat outside with my dad. He was just there. I guess he was anticipating for my dad to ask him why he hasn't gone back to school, my dad was just reading his newspaper and ignoring him. My sis was very annoyed that the manipulating boy was sitting outside doing nothing while work was going on inside. She ordered him inside and he grudgingly went in. The boy was studying computer science in school but I'm sure he didn't learn anything cos he is so full of manipulations and deception of which my sister saw through it. The next week he came again with same story that no money so he couldn't resume. Finally, on the Friday of the week, he said he will be resuming on Sunday. He knew my parents could give him something tangible but my dad gave him a token. His vices are so many. On the sunday he was traveling, he came to the children church where I teach and was greeting the teachers. He was telling them he would be going to school in the afternoon. Nobody gave him face, I guess his behaviour was not hidden from them too.
Less I forget, his dad requested help from my dad to pay this boy's waec fee. My dad gave him #25,000. The next day, the man and my parents met at the butchery. He came to buy quarterful of a cow like my dad. He was dumfounded but my dad greeted him normally. Though, after that my dad still helped him as the case may be. Now, that he needed money for his son, he can't ask. The son's behaviour further exposed the family's numerous vices.

Please, endeavour to be useful wherever you are whether you need their help or not so that the day you will need their help, they won't hesitate to render it.
