Never believe what a woman says
Only look out for what they do
Lies upon lies

Zyxsc:
I've read countless stories of how gambling has wrecked the life of many youths, boys, men alike and I wasn't left out. I was a perpetual gambler as well. I wouldn't have created this thread but for this Righteousness2 comment https://www.nairaland.com/7303107/please-save-marriage#116116165 on this frontpage thread https://www.nairaland.com/7303107/please-save-marriage.

Here is my short story

Our Nintendo game console got faulty and I did the best I could to repair it. Unfortunately, my measly knowledge on electronics was not enough. Electronic technicians couldn't repair it because Nintendo game console was getting phased out by Sega, so the spare parts were unavailable in the market. I resolved I would buy myself a Sega Game console. How could I have gotten the money to buy it. I was only a boy in Senior Secondary School 1. Shortly after, a friend introduced me to Baba Ijebu lotto and the possibility of winning so much with so little. He gave me a 2-sure. I staked ₦20 on the midweek-special game. On checking the result the following day, I found out that I won. I was so happy. I told the lotto man and my bet was settled. I took the ₦3700 I just won enta market, straight off. I got the Sega game console for about ₦3500. I bet on another game with ₦100. Thus, it started... the life of a gambler.

I lost way more than twice the money, I won, to Baba Ijebu lotto. Then came Football betting. We heard it's a lot easier to win than lotto. So I was taught the odd and staking concept. On my third stake, I won ₦10,480. I was so happy that I started planning on making a business off of it. "If I could play win like ₦10k every week or if I stake ₦100 on 2.00 odds every day for 1 week. What if I just accumulate like 10 games over one week and win like 10 million..." My greed went on and on, making me see ways I could win more with little, becoming a millionaire overnight. Series of loss came and I kept climbing up the losers leaderboard.

I was in 200 level when my dad sent me ₦40k for my school fee. "If I can just stake ₦20k on 3.00 odds, that's ₦60k. I'd pay off my school fee and have something to flex with, buy new clothes and enjoy my life", I thought to myself. Naso I carry my phone load the money enter my bet9ja account, selected like 3 games. My heart almost ran off my mouth as I watch the first game cut my ticket. I mellow, I no talk anything. My paddi wey follow me go watch ball think say na my team wey loss dey pain me. The following day was Sunday and there are still more matches to play. Lemme just stake this last 20k on 2.00 odds so I can recuperate my money and stop. Well, I did and no surprise. Like a cool breeze, my school fee was gone. Tears first scarce for my eyes. I find tears, I no see. Abi make I go jump inside well ni. No, dem fit rush kon comot me. What of otapiapia? And I no even get rope for house. What am I even thinking? How can I think of suicide because of ₦40k? My dad toiled day and night to be able to get this money Now, it's all gone. Death will come sooner if I tell my dad what happened. Even the devil cannot tempt me to tell him. My mind became a busy express-way for evil thoughts.

Exam was approaching and school fee portal was to close in 5 days. Na, automatic extra year be that. I told my bestie about what I have done. She lambasted me but proffered a solution. So I did as she advised. I went to RCF (The Redeemed Christian Fellowship) of my school. I told the treasurer I need to borrow for my school fee and I will pay back on instalment. May God bless sister Kemi and brother Dayo of RCF wherever you are. They borrowed me the money and I paid back. But I starved so I could pay back the debt.

The hunger filled my heart with anger and vengeance. I made a resolution to never gamble again but recuperate all my loss. Only if I could win all time, then it's no longer a gamble. I researched on ways I could always win the bookmakers. Yes, I did find one sure way. However, it needs to be automated to get the best result out of it. I need to build a software for it. I Googled on how to build such software and I read that such software is hard to build. Of course, if it were easy to build, everybody would have been rich. I knew nothing about programming, but my rage burn still. I picked up Java and started learning. Two years down the line I still haven't built it, but I found passion in what I was learning. All I was able to build at that time were simple calculators. Programming hard but I no fit give up.

Graduated school but work no dey outside. I kept at it, reading day and night, spending the bulk of my time staring at and writing magical words that can make computer do silly things. After NYSC, I built my first mobile app, published it on Amazon App store and got a job two weeks after. It seems my attention as shifted from building a software that wins the bookmaker all time, but nay. I just needed something to pay my bills while I horn the skills necessary to build such a software.

Alas, after about 6 years, I finally built the app. Reminiscing on these series of events that changed my life, if I wasn't a gambler back then, I might not have compelled myself to learn programming. Now, I feed my family with this tech job. I made a mistake but I made a resolution to fix it.

What helped me? DISCIPLINE!!!

Gambling is not an evil spirit. It is greed fuelled by lack of self control and discipline.

Gambling is not for people who have Ni self control.
I made my first million as a gambler and I invested it into my business
Be wise

See my guy, no be me write Bible o. I'm telling you what is written there. It is left for you to believe or look for truth elsewhere. The Bible does not regard the female, this is a fact except you have not thoroughly read the Bible or you want to argue for argument sake. For example there were female Pharaoh, but how many female Pharaoh did you see in the Bible? These and lots more. And of course according to the Bible the world developed through incest that meant Cain slept with the sister or mother or whatever. I wouldn't know, I didn't witness it neither did I write it. I'm telling you what is written there and what it implies. It is left for you to use your sense.

One I am sure of is, Adam is not the first Human created by God.Simple!

Mufakirnaqdiun:
Check my edited comment,the Bible shouldn't be taken to heart because it makes no sense.
25th December was a pagan holiday, because that was the day, shortly after the winter solstice, when the sun began to rise earlier in the morning. This led to the tradition that the sun god (by whatever name, including Sol, Sol Invictus or Apollo) was born on that day. When Christianity began to dominate the Roman Empire, this date was declared to be the birthday of Jesus and named Christmas Day, so that nominal Christians would not be able to attend Christian festivities and pagan festivities at the same time.

Exactly what I found out.
Omo many people are ignorant of many things in this life oo

Mufakirnaqdiun:
I'm surprised you just realized that,lol.

Yes on my brother
I just realized it

I did some research few days ago only to find out that the real birth day of our Lord Jesus Christ is not December 25th but February 28th.
Now my question is,why do the elites keep lying to us?Why?

Jokerman:
I think they were marrying each other especially the pre antidulivan generation.

It was when the israelites came out of Egypt, I think that's when God outlawed incest.

Let's remember cain and co lived for 100 of years.... you know Adam had other children too

You think? Lol
Stop deceiving yourself
Adam is not the first person God created just like the Bible stated.
The person that published the Bible is of the Adam race and wasn't aware of other humans on this Earth only to keep lying on incest trash.

Jokerman:
Cain married his sister.

The only females mentioned in the Bible did something of note.

Eve
Naamah
Rebecca
Leah
Deborah
Mary
Mary Magdalena
Esther.

Okay Cain married his sister and they gave birth right?
The child they gave birth to, how did he give birth to his own child?

justicechichex:
The author of the bible has his reasons why. Most of the descendants of Adam from Seth down to Noah must have had daughters as well but it didn't include or mention their names.

So if the names of the daughters were not mentioned, how did how did Cain's son give birth to his own child?
Abi it was through incest as well?

gaddafe:
That is not new. If you look at it the Bible does not regard the females that much and attention is usually not given to them. Even when Jesus fed 5000, it was only the males that were counted not female. It might be that was the reason the females were not mentioned in the Bible. However my main concern is that if that is true, it is impossible for any animal to cross five generations through incest.

The Bible does not regard the female yet it made mention of Eve abi.
And by the way,if Cain impregnated his so called sister, then how did their child multiply?
Through same incest abi

gaddafe:
What the Bible is telling you if you use your sense is that the world was created from incest which is impossible biologically. Also it would also be worthwhile to know that incest is a sin in the Bible. So at what point did it became a sin?

Why did the Bible make mention of Cain and Abel without mentioning their so called sister in the first place.
And what is the name of the so called sister just like you claimed?

viyon02:
Cain got married to her sister

The sister has no name?
The sister that didn't exist before until Cain was about to get married?

justicechichex:
It means Adam and Eve must have had a female child as well. Coz Cain definitely married his sister.

So why is the sister name not included in the Bible

Have been thinking about it for a long time.The Bible states that Adam was the first Human God Created but if you look at it well, when God created Adam according to the Bible,he made Eve from Adam's rib.They Gave birth to Cain and Abel.
Now, how was Cain and Abel able to give birth since there is no human apart from their cycle (Adam and Eve)?
If Adam and Eve were the first set of humans according to the Bible and they gave birth to Cain and Abel,then where are the women they impregnated to give birth from.

Una see say this Bible no clear
What do you think

Faber:
Over rated Premier league. See shaky shaky Barcelona tearing Man City apart yesterday night. You may call it friendly, but friendlies reveal a lot of loopholes in a team.

Man United beat Liverpool during Friendlies and still beat them in the first meeting of this season.

Arsenal beat Chelsea during the friendlies and we tend to overlook that, look at how ruthless Arsenal is right now and will still beat Chelsea in a competitive game with this Chelsea current form.

If Premier League is not Over rated, now how can you explain this..
Premier league teams 14 UCL
Real Madrid alone 14 UCL

Since the last 10 yrs Premier league teams are yet to beat a Spanish team in any European finals

Nonsense premier league with their ojoro and hype

True

LadysLuvSlyfoxx:
That’s how women think. They believe once you are dating them, they should be the center of your existence in this earth as if you don’t have work or anything else going on in your life. Once you don’t call them for a day like this; “you are cheating abi”? That’s all you will hear lol. M

B!tch I’m busy. And even if I’m not, the fact I’m in a relationship with you doesn’t mean I shouldn't have my private time or I must always be in the mood for lovey-dovey stuff. I might shoot you a text just to check you’re okay. But expecting me to call you everyday and chat shit for hours won’t happen.

Lol the funniest thing is that this type of relationships will be boring and their might not be mutual respect because you guys are too fond of each other.

jeromestarks:
Once she's not a virgin, then her heart will always be with the man who disvirgined her.
If you marry a who who has been fvcked by another man, you married yourself because the moment her ex shows up, she will fvck him again and one of your children may not be yours.

If you're dating a girl you didn't disvirgin, you're dating yourself because her heart is still with the man who disvirgined her even if she lied about it. Some girls still keep contact with the man who disvirgined them, others stalk their main ex on social media waiting for when he will hit a major fit to chat him up.

If a girl did not give you her best days (when she's a virgin), you shouldn't pay to keep her worst (when she has lost her virginity - glory to another man).
How will you pay huge money, do wedding celebration, take care of her siblings and relatives just to have what another man fvcked Finally, fvck any girl you want but for the peace of your home and the betterment of your children, Marry a virgin.

Comrade this vawulence can be heavy oowit just eggs and indomie?
No be foolishness be that?

Finally, fvck any girl you want but for the peace of your home and the betterment of your children, Marry a virgin.[/quote]comrade this vawulence is heavy oo

MrPower:
When you hear people use the word "you are dating yourself" its simply means that your partner in off your hook and you are dating yourself. That is to say your breakfast is almost ready, asin na small time remain before them serve you. So how do you know your breakfast is around the corner. Your partner will always do the following

1) always too busy that he or she doesn't have your time. Paraventure they finally call, the conversation will be so dry, straight to the point, etc .... .

2). Break in communication: if the person claims to be your joy giver can go a day or two without bordering to hear from you, my dear you are dating yourself.

3) if they are always online late night without chatting you up. Some time you tried to call on WhatsApp and you see "on another call"

4). When they start doing my bestee my bestee while you are just there. My dear be vigilant oh make bestee no do you small thing o.

Make i stop here. I know say some people get other opinion or counter opinion.

Well, I think your number 2 reason does not really apply in every breakfast situation.Although when a relationship starts, you and your partner could be so fond of yourselves.When your partner travels in to a long journey to see her loved relatives, she not calling you for a day or two doesn't mean you are dating yourself because she might be over comfortable there or probably on a very busy adventure.
To add to the list of people dating themselves, is when you are in a very long distance relationship.Like, you are dating someone you rarely met or see all the time.forget it you are dating yourself

Looks appetizing
