best of luck..!

4 years ago, I was into online business(Ponzi,MLM and so on). I was making gains from it not until greed set in that i decided to use all my savings both in Naira and bitcoin to invest in MMM which is close to 4Million. Two days to get help from MMM na so them Crash. I nearly commit sucide. I got depressed and was feeling ashamed to relate with people again. I had to use the last 150k in my account to process admission in one northern school for my HND program.

Finally, i later enter North to continue my program but the sufferness for there na part two inside very hot sun. Na trek i dey trek from my logde to school inside very hot sun everyday. I drink garri sotey my eyeball don deep inside. Everyone was complaining if i get sickness or something but them no know wetin i dey pass through. After 1year in my lodge, i was not able to renew the money after my rent expired, i beg my landlord to give me little time for me to travel back south and hustle, then i will travel the money to him (30k) but he refused. He locked my room with all my documents one week close to my first semester exam (Final year). I beg and beg before he reopen the room and he said he gave me 4days to provide payment even though na steal i go steal. He utter one statement which made have had Hatred for NUPE tribe till today, he said even if God come down from heaven he no go reopen that room if he no get the money within 4 days. To cut the long story short, i sneaked out from that compound with all my properties in the midnight to scot with a friend close to school area.

I really appreciate my friend for accepting and saving me for that moment. But my guy later Bleep up sha. Though i told him i will only scot with him for the remaining 2½ Weeks to complete our exam. So by next session i will get my own apartment again. Within 3days of staying with him, my guy don dey give me attitude, complaining of this and that, telling me his gf wan come spend days with him and all that. Funniest thing is he won't discuss this to me if we are in the room together, after he went out, he will dropping whatsapp messages to me complaining this and that. I suffer sotey i work in pure water factory for a whole night just to get paid of 200 naira.

During the vacation period, i came back to south to hustle. I went back to my online hustle then started hustling day and night, luckily for me my hustle started paying off gradually, I was able to raise 150k+ plus before resuming next session, i rented a self contain apartment and full electronics inside cuz the last user is get to pack his properties, throughout my second semester i no trek or eat useless food, i was enjoying my online biz, my class attendance was not frequent cuz all the lecture sef na scam...i dey use that time to hustle online in my room. My best Music then is Uyo Meyo by Teni. I just they play am every minute. The music was just giving me Motivation to strive harder.

Glory be to God for lifting me back to feet again, Made over 5million within the space of 1year, bought lands for myself and my elder bro, Clear my mom debts, Gave my dad, mom, bro and sis some cash to invest in there business, and i also continue saving any little thing i earn online. Thank God for making me a millionaire at my young age. And i pray for all of you struggling out there, you will all be favoured in Jesus name.

Last 4years i was depressed, sad, mocked by friends behind me cuz i no get cloths, but today God has provided everything for me in excess. Most of them begging me to help them. Glory be God, can't thank you enough.

Mine was losing a huge amount of money ... to an investment gone wrong ...at a time I was supposed to be planning my wedding .... Lets share and learn

I wasted my five years studying a course I hated with passion and I've not even graduated from the program..Later got MBBS in 2018... During my first program, money was flowing, I even got a scholarship but Life has been hard financially in my MBBS program, no scholarship yet and my sister just gained admission.. Sometimes I wished I had gotten Medicine during my first attempt I would have been very close to graduation by now BUT we keep pushing anyways.

Got admission for my HND in 2015 after obtaining form of 11k, I paid acceptance fee of 21k, started my registration when I got a mail that I have been shortlisted for appointment into the Nigeria Immigration Service that same period, all the pple in my cadre were asked to travel to Imo state for collection of Appointment letter, even though I haven't been to the east before, I traveled down to Imo, we did our documentation, we were given appointment letter, service number and all other necessary things, & we were asked to proceed to induction training, so I had to forfeit my admission because of the employment, and after training, a circular came from Immigration service headquarters, Abuja that the all of us that was recruited during 2015 general recruitment should be dispersed forthwith, order from APC govt., that's how we were disengaged, & since then I have my uniform placed on my hanger useless till now, & up till now I haven't been able to further my education due to some reasons, that experience was a major setback I av experienced in my whole life, though I am trying all I could to forget about the whole thing but honestly I haven't been able to get over it

Being a sickler is among one of the ugly experience one get through in life trust me, especially when you don't have a backup.

You'll eventually curse God.

Getting angry.. it almost ruined my relationship. I don't know if this is spiritual problem .. but the thing is anytime I think of settling down.. one thing will happen that will make me say something that will ruin the relationship. And what I will say will be unforgivable. I am still begging my fiancee since 4 days ago for the statement I uttered.

read Psalm 96 every night before going to bed

Why did you say he let himself die? What do you mean by that?

UCHIHAmask:

my brother was a sickler,he wasn't the type that get sick always yet he let himself die!!!!
i can never imagine the psychological torture sicklers face in this life....

Reading the response of people here have made me realise that I am not alone in this setback thing.

I have always had setback in my life right from childhood. What others get easily, I struggle to get the same and sometimes, I am even denied or I miss it completely.

I recall applying for NMS immediately after my primary school and I passed the entrance as the one of the top 4, passed medicals and even physical training and I also did well during the written test and final interview yet I didn't make the final shortlist because one powerful guy used his influence to substitute my name for his Son. The most painful part of it was that my Mum had to sell most of her wrappers to offset the cost of this process.

The other setback I had was as a result of the foregoing, I couldn't go to school for one year as my parent had spent all they had to sponsor my attempt into NMS...this was how I stayed home for one year as I didn't do JSS1. I finally joined my mates in JSS2 the following year as I didn't have problem coping academically because with every sense of humility, I am bright, intelligent and smart.

I faces a lot of setbacks in the form of lack of school fees, lack of clothes and hunger.

Fast forward, I finished from a polytechnic and in tried applying for job after my NYSC in 2015, that was when I knew that they were forces beyond the ordinary that were unleashed against my life...nothing as working, despite coming first in job interviews and screening, I never got a reasonable job till middle of 2018 with an Oil and Gas Company which was the biggest breakthrough I have ever had till date.

I saved quite a huge sum of money for my wedding and others things which was due to take place in May 2019 only to find out the Lady in question had a secret child out of wedlock and I still moved on and later met another lady in Church and I proposed marriage to her and we agreed to get married in June 2020 this year only for her to cancel the engagement a month to our proposed wedding date for no reason because she felt since I have become a pastor, I won't be able to cater for like a oil worker that I was before full-time Ministry after spending so much for the wedding.

Guess what almost killed me, after the whole thing I still had closed to 2million only to lose it due to bad investment managers after 1month later.

All in this year 2020!

Mrtaye:
Mine is still on as I write here and because of this particular incident I have not been able to record or promote any music this year just because of one civil servant here in Lagos and he's almost getting me to a state of depression and also taking away.my joy ...aside music my side jab is transportation and logistics (Bolt)

Fast forward to March this year I bought a Toyota Yaris manual transmission to enhance and grow in my transport business and also promote and produce my music which is actually on boomplay, audiomack and other online platforms ,all this have been financing from my transport business...so I got this yaris(Nigeria used) for 600,000 and it's that low because it's a manual and not an automatic transmission,but at that time of purchase I had just 520,000 and we had an agreement that I would balance him the remaining 80,000 after 3 months,the purchase was a week before the national lockdown so we agreed and he also assured me that all the original documents are intact. So after payment of the 520k he released the vehicle and photocopy of the particulars.

Immediately after the lockdown in May I tried registering the vehicle to my name and also use the document to secure a loan from the bank of which the man's balance of 80k was part of my consideration for the loan,but I was asked to provide the original proof of ownership of the vehicle as it was just the photocopy I presented and immediately contacted this man and he told me that he will never release the original proof of ownership until I balance his 80k

So in June I raised the 80k from a female friend and paid immediately to the man's account,he asked me to come to collect the proof of ownership at his apartment and when I got there he told me he misplaced it and he provided a Lagos state letter of onboarding for the for the vehicle licensing people to work with and ever since then I haven't been able to register this vehicle till now,just parked the vehicle and as it is I am really helpless

Pm me,let's see how I can help out
