UCHIHAmask:

you know,he was the eldest(25yrs),i already said he is not the type that gets acute sickle cell complications,he only gets slight fever or headache in like once in three years and when that happens he would still actively play games, press phone or chat with us,sometimes the fever goes away without him taking any drug,i was always susceptible to malaria,then he is there to give me drugs,he knows well about it because he is always on fruits,vitamins and supplements etc,now he gets the normal seasonal fever and headaches that comes to him but this time around he didn't buy drugs to treat himself,he even stop taking his vitamins,folics and supplements,my elder sister noticed his passive reactions and took it upon herself to buys the drugs for him,he agreed to take the drugs only to remove the tablets,pretend to take it while actually hiding them in his stacks...early morning the day he died(21/04/15) while i was travelling for work he gave me loads of cash,at the time of his death he called that my sister and told her "it was time",he said "they are here already to pick me and i would go with them",later he slept and never woke up...
although i didn't quite understand this then,he was weak physically so seeing his male siblings all built up(body building) with girls flocking around them(something he wouldn't easily get),not being physically strong,taking drugs,supplements and vitamins to survive,coupled with the glare or shun he might have faced in school after gaining admission that year....

With all you have written, you need to stop blaming him for his death.

1) Because he is no more

2) Because he might have faced challenges that he didn't reveal, just like the ones you mentioned.

Funny! My father is an Ogboni. He wanted to use me to replace him. Though, he is not the only one o. My wife even reveal 4 of them to me after she died few months ago... And God has special interest in me. sic
I shouldn't be even revealing much in this forum

I can relate to this bro. I have been there but God delivered me by His finger!! People don't understand what it means to have an occultic parent. They vowed i will never amount to anything life. Ten years wasted after graduating with one of the best results in my school. Sadly he died in the course of the battle. God then rewarded me with a great job in one of the multinational oil companies and restored my wasted years in a matter of months. That same God is still very much alive. He will sure see you through!!

December 2017 just a few weeks to Christmas I lost all of my birds (200 layers and 100 broilers). It was an extremely sad event.

Damn! I'm a poultry farmer, and I know how depressing that can be. You mean you lost ALL the 300 birds? Damn!

In similar situation. I understand you. Mine is, I'm tech savvy. I can hack, bypass and I know alot about computer stuffs (intermediate programmer). In fact I'm very intelligent not trying to hype myself. My friends do pester me to join the Yahoo thing but I don't have the mind. My conscience won't let me sleep. In fact, my childhood friend whom we used to hustle together is getting married soon. He has two houses and 2 cars already. All through this yahoo.

I just want to leave this environment and go back to complete my studies. In my finals. I know I'm better than this yahoo thing and can't stoop so low to scamming ppl of their hard earned money.

God help us that have good heart.

May God help us bro...

And wow, you into tech? thats cool.

One of my regrets is not coming across the I.T field earlier, partly due to the kind of environment I grew up in. No one talked about it here.
I came across programming in 2017 while browsing through my phone on one of those idle days and I fell in love with what I saw but could not start programming then, because I could not afford a laptop.
I saved up money in 2018 and I was finally able to buy one from my friend. Started learning html and some basic css, but all of a sudden, laptop started developing faults.
It was fault upon faults after then, so I could not really practice. I got admission same year to study comp sci. I was able to watch some part of david malan's cs50 course during the early months of 2019. I think that was when I actually started coding.
I resumed 100 level june, 2019. Things were tough, I was not able to concentrate on coding but all good though.
I have managed to learn python, javascript, kotlin and some java.
I'm currently practising android development with kotlin. Trying to work on my first project. A to-do list app.
I may start learning web dev any time soon, as that is where freelancing money is.
I have a crush on machine learning, but I'm yet to ask her out though wink wink.

You hack? I feel you bro.
At the bolded, I think we have more than a few things in common.
God no go shame us.

A day I will never forget, a day my life took a nose dive, a day I would have been dead and gone but the scars of that fateful day remains with me till date.

But I thank GOD for life and I am eternally grateful to GOD for making me triumph against all odds.

I won't bother you all with the details.
I thank God for you too dear

How I just stumbled upon this thread
People go through unimaginable things shaa atimes I wonder how pull through
Well for me recently I was evicted from where I was staying before due to my bad habits all of which are all in the past now and just when I thought I had seen the light, another major setback happened this week where I was swindled of my company funds in my custody and now I have to pay back not knowing how to even do that with a very clear indication that even after I do I will still be relieved of my job.... It's just like starting all over again....
And a lot of people who knew where the dark place I just pulled myself out from would think this is just the old me with another trick behind my back but it sure isn't and I don't blame them if they think so.

I pray for strength for me and everyone going through difficult Times especially in this season without any form of hope....
May God grant us peace and may we not be deterred rather reminded that we are not alone.
Amennnnnn

What if you were scammed because i foolishly, greedily transferred my money to scammers. Still bearing the loss of my money and my banks are not doing anything about it. My wife doesn't know about it because she warned me but somehow she was aware because of my reactions to little things. Finally i play her mind off such !

Urgent reply


Kindly explain the first sentence in your statement. Do you per chance mean that you sent the money to them yourself with your own hands?

If yes, something can still be done. But this depends on the facts of the case, the sums involved and the nature of the bank account that was used in recieving the funds.

Good morning Sir/Madam
I transferred the money to the said accounts myself !
132k in one and 10k in the other account, my banks told me that they are following the case that i should be patient but it's been 4 months now still nothing to show my banks are really following up the case.

Lived in a hostel while slaving from MONDAY to Sunday on a poor paying job.

Struggled till I rented an apartment and started a business of my own..

Helped some friends who were homeless.

Fed and housed them till they started sleeping with each other..

They didn't bother to get a job.

Frustrated me till I moved out of my house for them.

Went back to living in a hostel.

Why didn't you send them all out of your house?
