I make N50 million every month on onlyfans and that's not too bad for a male performer in Africa. And you won't believe what I do to make this money. I flirt with my female customers in pidgin English. 95% ofy customers are in the U.S, Europe and the Caribbean. Thanks to afropop and our movies going global, these ladies just wanna hear me flirt and crack joke with them in pidgin. It's strange but I'm not complaining.

Wow.

I just realized... No scratch that! Let's say my laptop has been one of my obstacles — so fúcking slow. Thinking about how it hangs reminds me of my first PC, that one was 2gb ram, and that shít was crazily slow.

Whenever I remember the stress it caused me, I'd feel better because at least this one is 4gb but I can't keep using it to edit my vids. I now realize why I spend so much time doing basic things. I kept trying to edit the vid using free canva because as you know I'm literally broke. I don't have a penny.

I use my voice since my accent is pretty clear enough... anyways, I downloaded canva on my phone and continued the editing and everything started going smooth. Damn, so my PC's ram has been the cause of my misery.

I'm so grateful to Momma, she was the one that advised I buy a phone when I got my first royalty. No regret so far. So yeah, after I downloaded the vid on canva, the audio got corrupted. You know what I did? I removed the audio (i.e. my voiceover) and downloaded it, then I went to inshot to finish up the whole thing . I loved that feeling when everything came out well .

I love how undisturbed I have become, since I started becoming serious about controlling my mind. I have no regrets on finally making a deeper research on Andrew Tate, initially I found those Zoom Bomb YouTube videos where they used his funny videos to bomb people's video chats but now, after discovering videos where he teaches business and self help shít... I feel happy knowing plenty of people think like me.

I no longer allow negativity, overthinking, or depression and anxiety to weigh me down. I feel more purposeful and not bothered at all. Love it! I now see depression and anxiety as motivation.

MY DEADLIEST ENEMY

I am my deadliest enemy, it's so sad how I'd be 100% determined at the beginning of every challenge and then, I find myself giving in to stupid habits that are detrimental to my mission. I have noticed this pattern billions of times.

I love to talk about intentionality but I feel like my willpower isn't as strong as it should be. I'm where I am because I have not fully mastered my inner self. For years, I have been living what I call "fast life," I no longer have that patience to slowly read a book, articles, and so on and indulge myself deeply in the process. It's like I'm always rushing through everything...

Even as I'm writing this now, I have to constantly remind myself to slow down, and immerse myself in the process. Something deep down tells me that my inability to build a strong financial ground is deeply rooted in a concept that surrounds this habit. I can sit down for hours working on something but never make significant progress because my mind is busy wondering around the woods.

Fúck OCD, fúck anxiety, and fúck depression! I want to be able to sit down and think deeply and craft a perfect plan like a genius. I still have self doubt within me, it's hiding deep inside so I never notice. I want to let go of perfectionism, it's bad for me. Tell me, how's it possible that I'm so broke I can't afford airtime?

Tell me bro, does this look normal to you? Absolutely not!

Why's my mind always racing? Why do I give in to bad habits even though I'm actually aware at that moment that I shouldn't be doing that? Yes, I have been having terrible body pains these days, but I just don't believe I'm being hard on myself. Laziness is trying to swim and sink in my brain, it's trying to make up excuses why I'm stuck, and why my intentionality is not needed. Búllshit!

Nobody is to be blamed but me—I'm the reason our mother is still overstressing herself! I feel so guilty because I know how powerful my brain is, I have seen that motherfúcker do unbelievable things. It's like I'm scared of something. Okay, I literally set those goals few days ago, and it feels like I'm slowly giving up. Or maybe, I look down on myself so much?

What exactly is wrong, Lord? Why is it so hard to break out of this cage? Or maybe, it's because I'm not acknowledging the fact that I'm literally starting from scratch. I came from the bottom of the bottom — the rock bottom. I can't even point at someone in my family that would lend me N100k willingly.

Why is it so hard to break out of this cage? Why am I giving in to my bad habits? How would overthinking help me? Maybe that's the reason I have been experiencing severe migraine and stomach bite for over a week now. I can't keep doing this.

I need to:
Be more intentional, I don't care if OCd hits back. If it means planning my day religiously and whatever I do (even how I eat), I will do it.

Do things immediately and forget about perfection. If an idea comes in, and it's good, execute it immediately. My major problem is that my laptop hangs a lot when I edit videos but that's not an excuse.

Be brutal, no more waiting for some miracle. "How do you plan to make money?" Writing and YouTube, and then diversify immediately! Straight answer! No more "God will blablablabla." God will do that when you put in insane work.

Practice deep work. Whenever I'm working on something, I must make sure my attention is fixated on it. And let's see I wanna edit a video, 90% of my time should be spent planning how I would go about it—getting the pics, vids, texts, ready. Then, next, we execute. I must stop getting into something before planning. That's stupid. Even if it's a very little task, I must make plans.

Go back to the Wim Hof breathing exercise. I need it.

Let's do this.

Someone reached out to me and tried to give me some tips to recover my Kdp account but unfortunately, none of those accounts were terminated for the same reason as hers. So, I just couldn't waste my time in exchange for another disappointment.

Then, she introduced me to another biz which is still focused on writing. I was really amazed someone would do that for me, yes, I'm like that... I'm often blown away by kindness. I promised myself that I wouldn't let this opportunity slide. She even gave me the course for free even though it cost her tens of thousands of naira. I have been going through it.

Hopefully, it pays off... It has to, it will.

The day Igbo man will become President of Nigeria, Nigeria will become celebration nation.


Nigerians have done Nigeria so much bad by not making an Igbo man Nigeria's President.


Igbo esika, doings everywhere, from Africa to Europe, America to Asia, Caribbean to Australia, Oceania to Antarctica


If you are not Igbo, make sure you marry Igbo or make a correct Igbo person your best friend, this is not an advice, it's a commandment

Bro

lovethtalks247:
We also talked about that in the community. The goal is to reduce the frustration for most youtubers

Yeah, I understand... I joined one back when I was a teenager, way before it became trendy. It was frustrating to get an entire different audience who have no interest for the content you make. Lol. Just take your time, make good contents, and you'll surely get an audience.

I have seen funny scenarios where people record with their blurry webcam and still get tens of thousands of subscribers. YouTube algorithm is insane.

I'm a YouTuber but I'd prefer to get real people who actually subscribed because they love my shít. I want long term fans so we can grow together.

columbus007:
The simple reason is.. Black people are naturally dirty, you can't find a white guy who uses towels and find stain in it, that's why they don't like us.. Simply truth.

Wow, I finally met the guy whose picture represents stupidity.

I knew my life was cooked when I began to feel anxious as the thought of setting a target came up . It feels like whenever I set up these targets, these demons starts working overnight. They be like, "Oh yes, our favorite common loser! This dude can't just give up? What's wrong with this loser?"

Okay, I know I'm not supposed to be pessimistic but this shít just hurts. The crazy thing is: I'm literally what you'd call "fanatic introvert" but somehow, these problems find you where I'm hiding — under my momma's bed . Do y'all motherfúckers have no shame?

Anyways, ummm... bro, we got to go again... I know I preach about being intentional often, Lord please help me. Yeah, I'm shamelessly asking for help — fúck atheism. I don't care if you exist or not, still gonna ask for your help. You were there for me when I had nothing, when I made my first $100 (which is literally peanuts), and even now, I have nothing. I can't give up.

I don't want to write much, dawg... I just need change. I'm really scared and anxious but here we go...

I need to be strategic if I must win this war. Enough of being a loser. I won't upload any videos until I have actually created enough videos to put out.

Ever since I started paying attention to this "YouTube automation" thing that's been trending — I feel like a bum and a complete loser. Matter of fact, I just came from Twitter... Yeah, I don't use social media but I tried to use Twitter when my guy was trying to show me how airdrops works. So now, it's more like an 'empty' account where I just follow and learn from others doing this YouTube thing.

So why do I feel like búm and a complete loser? It's just so funny seeing people blowing trumpets on this same YouTube thing I have been doing since I was a kid. I knew about the potential of the internet way before it became trendy but I also had to deal with a lot of naysayers. Like damn, they were just naysayers , they made sure I wasn't able to bring to life my ideas.

Mannn, fúck the world! Look at KDP, I have always been that dude who enjoys writing — like dude, you can literally find my writings here on Nairaland. I'm talking about when I was like 16... I just enjoyed writing. I wanted to do Kdp but couldn't because I didn't have a better phone or even a PC. Despite how my Itel phone lacked like snail, I remember using ilegeñdd's tutorial thread to open a payoneer account and Kdp account. But I had to learn that useless nwaboi apprenticeship for that to be possible; so, I was around 19 to 20. Bro, did you see the pattern?

I'm forced to blame everyone at this point but fúck that! My whole life and my ideas snatched away and now, I'm in my twenties, I'm getting fúcked in the backside by depression, anxiety, and all of the consequences of the decisions that were forced upon me in my teens.

God, funny thing is: I'm gonna fúcking die broke if I don't fight back like an animal. Nature doesn't give a fúck about me . Bro, so I'ma be one of those men who would feel normal telling their kids about how they missed out on internet money because of their demons?? God, hell no! Noooooo!

I'm also tired of fueling my depression and anxiety all because I'm broke. Like bítch, who cares? Motherfçcker, it's not like you were born with money coming out of your mouth! Why the fúck are you worsening our mental health, you stupid fúck? I'm sick and tired of that cycle! Our health is literally deteriorating! Enjoy the process, this stage will pass! Look at our momma, all she's ever given is encouragement and advices! You ungrateful fúck should be happy that superhero we call "daddy" gave us a better woman as mother! Phew, fúck you SuperOnyí!

So, yeah... I don't know what tomorrow holds. I'm back to YouTube and I'm hoping for the best. Let's hope they don't start blocking us like KDP (those useless scumbags). I'm gonna be building two channels. I already fúcked up with the first one by showing my face but scratch that, I don't care... No more playing by any rules, not even mine!

Farming? I don't know yet... Not feasible...but certainly we will be farming because we got go eat. Physical Skills? Yeah, likely. But I seriously hope I don't have to choose between that and YouTube. I wanna learn a skill but that also means I'm gonna have to depend entirely on my inlaw for basically everything—from food, water, transportation—that's how broke I am . God! What about internet connection? Damn, look at my life...

Imagine being so broke your whole life that people would shít on you and then, you start making some pennies that you hoped you turn to commas someday... Then BOOM! Some lunatics who are probably mad they ain't getting laid decide that your life should be miserable like theirs. Like bítch, I ain't getting laid and that ain't even one of my minor problems right now.

Imagine being so poor your whole life, you just smile when motherfúckers talk about how they came from a "poor family" and be like, "Are you serious? Is that even considered 'poor'?" Dude, I was so broke I only heard or see 'water system toilets' in elementary textbooks... But who cares: I had the best parents ever? LITERALLY! WHO CARES ABOUT POVERTY? I was just a depressed kid daydreaming and thinking deeply about a lot of shíts... And by the way, my depression and anxiety is my motivation.

Man, I have been so poor for so long. I'm not even asking for too much. I know money would "cure" a whole lot of my problems but I just need a tiny piece of this cake everybody's eating aggressively. Why am I been locked out? What did I do wrong? Why are you saying fúck me for, huh? I just wanna be able to help people — help my family, friends, community,and fund my scientific ideas? Am I that evil?

Certainly, this has nothing to do with evil or good. These billionaires aren't certainly the most religious or righteous on planet Earth. Like, WTF is going on? Man...

---

Man, just lying down in this dark room since the light went off. Man, I deserve better. I deserve to be rich. I have the best rags to riches story, man! I haven't seen anyone who's got something better. My family is so poor that my big bro never got to get a formal education because taking him to a school for "special" kids like him would mean selling our community's lands. I grew up in a fúcking ghetto and thought it was normal seeing dirty muddy gutters...

Mann, fúck this!

obamartins:
Their T & C is so fluid that anything can happen. Sometimes they ban accounts and when you ask for the reason, they won't be able to pin it on any infrigement on their T & C. I agree there are bad actors in these game, but some innocent folks have taken stray bullets.

God bless you sir. Those guys traumatized me and took everything I have worked for, and then, I'm the bad guy.

RosyIsBlessed:
I want to still insist that for them to ban your account there's something off about your account or published books. Amazon doesn't ban accounts indiscriminately. I disagree with you. Go take time to read their terms and conditions, though long, you would find your mistake by yourself.

However, if you used a foreign number to open account when you are in Nigeria, that is also illegal and they reserve the right to ban such accounts if they discover, as they no longer accept Nigerians. But would you blame them? No!!

Amazon kdp that we were publishing our books in peace some Nigerians came with their usual fraudulent ways to fast track sales of their books. Giving misleading titles completely different from the content, using forbidden words just to attract buyers, plus many other nefarious actions. Buyers report them to Amazon, what do you now expect? A smile at Nigerians?

If na you get the company wouldn't u do same to protect a brand you spent billions to build?

I still insist that I have done nothing wrong — I can agree I might have made an unintentional mistake in the first account and rightfully so, I immediately tried to reach out to them but I got no response. The next thing I got was a ban claiming I copied someone's work. I assumed it was copyright and that was why I wrote them but I checked the keywords and found nothing incriminating. I believe I might done something wrong as this was my first time having issues with them but they didn't bother explaining anything.

Second account? Yes, I was advised to go the other route but all of my details were correct anyways... Third account? I kept it real with them but it still got terminated. Amazon is targeting Nigerians, I hate what our people are doing, but does that mean taking away the good guy's source of livelihood? I still know people gaming the system and then are still making thousands of dollars each month — matter of fact, I know someone with over 10 accounts.

Why are the ones who are trying to be transparent the most affected? Amazon is the most toxic company ever, hopefully, their monopoly comes to an end one day.

RosyIsBlessed:
This is quite touching. I can help to publish your books in my account . Whatever proceeds that comes from it I'll send it to you. Though I'll have to read through to see if it's Amazon worthy.

DM me if you are interested

Wow, really? I would love that but I wouldn't be that fast (due to the different activities I wanna engage) as I have to write new books because I don't think I can republish the old ones on Amazon and I don't wanna use AI. I'm currently trying to see if my inlaw would let me be his apprentice. Can I still send a DM?

RosyIsBlessed:
I don't think this tracking thing is true. I'm a Nigerian in Nigeria using Nigerian IP yet I'm making sales and getting paid, since 4 years now.

If your account is terminated, you did something off and not necessarily about being a Nigerian. Una too dey feel say the world hate Nigerians, not necessarily true.

There are words that shouldn't be used in your book, if used u get banned. There are misleading information or details that shouldn't be used at all in your book or account, if used u get banned and so much more. Reasons for getting banned is not tied to just Nigerians alone but every publisher. Before you start anything, always read the terms and conditions. Many of u do not take time out to read these instructions on their website before you start publishing.

When I started publishing they were friendly with Nigerians. It's even my Nigerian number I used to open the account. This continued until some oversabi Nigerians brought their usual wuru wuru into it to make quick sales, hence, the decision to stop Nigerians from opening account.

Whilst thinking we are always marginalized we too need to change and do things honestly. Na why dem dey always ban Nigerians for many things.

They don't usually target old accounts but new accounts. Back then, from my research, even if you make an unintentional mistake, they would tell what that was, and unban the account but today, they don't even care. They don't even bother to respond. I only had a one account even though I was advised to open multiple accounts yet they never considered the fact that I have never broken the rules or had any issues with them.

Even the last account they banned, had accurate and complete details yet they unjustly terminated the account and refused to respond to my mails.

dreamxhaser:
Share your contact let’s talk. I will introduce you to what I use to hold body. Freelancing.

Though I am also trying to switch to KDP

Wow I appreciate that, boss.
But I'm not sure how I'm gonna fit that into my schedule as I'm working on learning a physical skill and I'm so broke I can't afford internet subscription these days.

Goodlady:
Make I dey do bad abi?
Good deeds sef don taya a times.
I go dey break guys heart now like glass and cabin biscuit.

Do it.

Samantha125:
I don't know what to think with you anymore...😂😂😂

Funny... Y'all don't want me to look "tattered" and angry, then tell me...maybe I should look like beautiful man, huh?

But hey, I will work on that even though I'm ugly.

Samantha125:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think I need to switch my style, stop looking like that, and grow my curly or coily hair (whatever)...then I start intentionally making videos in angle and effects that would make people think I'm attractive. Is that what you want? I understand human psychology — I can decide to look in a way that would trigger the halo effect. What do you think?

Samantha125:
Nigerians, your motivational speaker has started again...😂😂😂

At least he took my advice and covered his hairy chest and even got a haircut...

Listened to your advice? Hmm, interesting...
Anyways...

The world is designed to treat everyone equally, in fact it is not just people that sees goodness as weakness but also nature. Even though we claim to have "evolved," the truth is, we are still in a race where only the fittest survive. Nature doesn't care about how pure your heart is, if you're so good that people begin to exploit you, Charles Darwin's theory will quickly start manifesting in your life.

Life is so screwed up and cruel, the more I think about it, the more I discover that in deed, this world was created out of nothingness. It seems like God has decided to stay away from the affairs of man and at the same time, it feels like a video game where we are all being controlled by higher beings.

But... What if a man was destined to suffer until his death? Is destiny really a thing? Has God already written down a script about our lives? If yes, how then are we responsible for our actions? If being good doesn't make you LIVE good, what then is the need? EVIL since you get "LIVE" when you spell it backwards? Are we condemned to deal all of these questions for eternity? Or should we all just take the blue pill, shut up, and remain puppets? What if?

So many questions, not a lot of answers.

TheBreastSucker:
I will advise you to just focus on sucking breasts for now.

Going to disvirgin a teenage girl will likely result in an unwanted pregnancy, it is then you will know what it really means to be in big trouble

Gobengroup:
@SuperOnyi I love your story Bro.. Maybe because it's similar to mine and in my early 20s too.. I'm also an Amazon author and a crypto lover..

Everything will make sense one day, don't give up.. 💯 We'll meet at the top in few year and talk about this but till then, keep moving Bro...💪

Thank you boss.

In 2023, I finally bought a laptop with the help of my boss and mentor Sir Gaby. I remember grateful until the end of time. I went for Amazon KDP and swore never to give up, I kept my words despite the trials and tribulations I went through. Finally, I decided I have had enough, last June, I quit my job, moved to countryside so I can concentrate on KDP.

https://www.nairaland.com/7792340/journey-becoming-financially-peace-through/4#134843025

By September, despite lack of electricity and capital, it started to pay off — it started to generate on average $100 every month. I kept pushing and struggling with my biggest nemesis — lack of electricity. Since they paid every 60 days after sales, I had to wait. I received 3 months of royalties from them before they terminated my account with flimsy excuses.

By then, I had spent most of the royalties in the biz, and was also dealing with life problems offline. I tried to get back with the little I had left with another details on a private browser since I couldn't afford to get a new device, in less than a month, the account got terminated again when it started picking up. I swore not to give up, I created another account with another details and made sure every information provided was correct and of course, in less than a week, it got terminated with that same wicked excuses. They said I was providing inaccurate OR incomplete details which is absolutely false!

At this point, I have had enough. Depression and anxiety have overwhelmed me... I can't Even cry because the tears would come out but I looked at my momma today and I couldn't just give up. I'm going back to learning a physical skill, farming, and YouTube.

I'm depressed, angry, and I have come to the conclusion that success is easy but simple obstacles like humans would make you hate your dream. I just turned 23 on March 28 and I couldn't even celebrate or mourn my father's death anniversary on March 26 because these demons decided to give me nothing but more sorrows.

This diary would be ruthless, bitter, and filled with anger. I will do anything possible so I can shít on Amazon in the nearest future.
