Damn gravity

I do not blame her breasts for obeying nature's gravitational law. But I would love to see the "before and after pictures" of those breasts before I can give my final verdict.

zionmde:
Such an inspiring thread

I saw hell as a kid though
Got socially alienated from other kids because of poverty
Nobody ever wanted to see me on his/her door because they know its to beg for food
Once drank starch meant for pasting posters without sugar
Ate soured soup because I have got no choice

Cooked with waste papers because no money for wood
Skipped 5 because no money for fees
No result from prim 4 to prim 6 because no money for fees
My teacher once hid me in the toilet so that the headmaster will not know am in class (Aunty Osunwoke am still looking for u and ur children, the day I find them will be the last day u will pay there fees)

Once Bundled to church to beg Pastors after service for school fees, Pastor made a promise he hasn't fulfilled up till today

Until I hit the street Hawking, entered university Hawking
No friend, no lover, nobody wanted to identify with me

Once slept in madza madza park because of no accommodation
Life has taught me a lot in bitter ways

My greatest enemies were transformers and big drainages because anytime I pass, I am always tempted to end it there
Once flew out from a moving car but no approaching vehicle to end it
Thank God suicide is a sin, I could have gone a long time ago

We are responsible for who we become in life irrespective of our family background

It has all changed though. God has blessed me.
I encourage those going through hard time to keep being focused, there is no time to blame anybody, no matter who disappointed u, with diligence and focus success is sure

Everyone gat a story.
But regardless of how life treats you, chose to be good.
Imagine people's pain as if it's happening to you and if you're in a position to help pls help.

We rise by lifting others up.

quote author=Toks2008 post=76718236]

Share a snipet. I come from a very dysfunctional home bro., that has greatly impacted on my life. I am the youngest child amongst six; the most immediate one before me is 15yrs older than I am. So it happened that I didn't grow up to have a good relationship with any one of them. While I was growing up,I usually see them once in a year or two as they all based in the city( and only once did I get to see all my siblings come together for a family meeting which ended in chaos,anyway). I remember the excitement that used to greet my face whenever they came; I had this profound respect for them then. Of a truth, not until oil was discovered in our community that a lot of people started making money and going to schools,my siblings were easily seen as among the few in affluence. But all of that affluence: one is based abroad,one works in shell,one in public service and have had several promotions, and another a top politician in the area, has not transformed into anything for the family as a whole. Only now did I realise that my elder ones have no lost love found among them—they are at loggerheads with one another. Now, I am caught up in their silent wrangling. No one of them even cares to know if I exist. The one abroad who once promised to send me over has suddenly gone cold. The annoying thing is that,people outside who could have helped my case don't help seeing my siblings. Everyone thinks I am enjoying. Lol. I am fading inside.

you don't want to imagine my story. it is not a story,it is a tragedy.

so we are within the same age bracket Mr Toks 2008.A lot had really changed btw.the year 2000 till date.Most kid's who were given birth to in the year 2000 till date really met a new Nigeria. The change was so sudden and more pronounced btw.year 2002 at the time mtn was coming up.Life is moving at a fast.pace.

Mouthgag:
Please shed some light on your story.
It may inspire someone

koyyes:
You took a very big risk by doing that. Just thank goodness that you can walk with your two legs today.

If otherwise had happened and your legs got ravished by tetanus infection, what would you have done?

Thank goodness for your life today sha.

This thread is one of the best I've read on Nairaland pre and post elections. The life experience of Candlewax and many others got people talking on several life issues, which obviously connects us, as everyone has got a story to tell. Took my time to read through all the pages and never for once read anything tribal,derogatory or name calling. This just goes to show that certain issues in life can bring us together while others can set us apart.
If only we refuse to be tools in the hands of those who divided and rule us, Nigeria would be a great country for us all, where we'll all look out for each other.
While reading, I noticed the kind gesture of the Candlewax guy offering to help out another guy with a job or so, isn't that heartwarming, coming from a guy who could have sworn never to help anyone in light of all the rejections he also faced.
All I'm saying is, we are good people in this country but we allow few corrupt politicians manipulate and divide us.
It is my prayer that God will attend to all of our pressing issues, God bless us all and God bless Nigeria

I did this during Late Gen.Sabi Abacha's regime,the poverty was very high in the whole neighborhood,salary's were being owed and you can not protest because the soldier's called "operation sweep" were in all street,Nadeco (Afenifere) men were being jalied,Sergeant Rogers(Abacha's killing machine ) was killing all opposition's down,late Kudirat,late Abraham Adesanya(thou the bullet didn't penetrate),Late Dr.Frederick Fashehun,Professor Wole Soyinka was in detention along with Late Gani Fawehinmi,Tibunu had ran away to U.K,he came back after Abacha's death,all the kids in neighborhood would visit the saw mill plants and pack a sack of "sawdust" to cook our favourite meal of "weevil " beans,you need to put more garri to make the weevils invisible while eating, the beans is half of dead weevils,the year was btw 1994-1998,Mid 80's kids can relate. University strike went for months even some 2yrs.I can't forget in a hurry.

The owner of the sleepers you posted even had money to to use that expensive stuff to hold it.

asuustrike1:
Hmm! I just pinned my slippers now

koyyes:
So broke that you couldn't meet aboki with just 10 naira?

God forbid.

The thing is that people with such experiences always turn out to be very wicked whether or not they make it in life.

one time i and my family (my parents and six siblings ate olive oil and water for days,i stopped school for 2years, there was debts every where,packed in to my aunt's,suffered huge humiliate from everyone, including extended family members that came on board through my fathers influences ( dude was working in millions,before he hit rock,church too follow chop the money,as small as i was then, i knew they where scammers fucking gays wrecked him to rags, he still hasnt gotten over it ,has refused to come back to the city) im shedding tears right now

candlewax:
[b]I have nothing more to say other than encourage anyone passing through a hard time. It will surely pass. Trials are phases and stepping stone to greatness. I'm not yet a big as I used to despite the fact I'm very comfortable now but I know I will surpass how I began. At least friends that deserted me now respect me. I was so broke that when my house expired then, I shamefully lied to my neighbors that I was parking to somewhere else. I brought a truck parked electronics sold them and paid debt, when I was leaving the compound I abandoned my furnitures, chairs in my sitting room and beds because I had no where to take them to. It was someone I met on that day with my clothes walking aimlessly along the road that took me to his place. Rat infested kpako... � (from a well furnished apartment to squat in kpako (zinc) house) I later brought my car and will sleep in the car as I don't drive it because no fuel. Sold the car afterwards. I don't know, it was really bad, no friends, no babe, no clothes, no love, churches where I donated millions abandoned me (big reason I am now an atheist) things was getting worse, I was so broke all I had was my name. Somehow, someone believed in me. Loaned me 3m and thT was the turning point[/b]

we return her to you

Princeofasia:
I like her die. BTW i am a 32 year old very successful guy looking for a very sexually open minded girl. This what I seek in the girl.
Must be ready for an open relationship or open marriage. By this, I mean she must be OK with with me bringing in other girls to Bleep as I am OK with her fucking other guys too. I will prefer a bisexual girl.
We will be having wild sex parties and orgies in our house or hotel. and also attending same around the world.
Like my previous girl friend I might once in a while invite 5 or more guys to Bleep you if you are OK with that.
Only very open minded girls should message me. I don't care about your good or bad past.

frozen70:
Truth be told, stop deceiving yourself

You are a casanova whetheyou accept it or not

Stop flaunting yourself before ladies, they will deal with you in the long run

Stop paying attention to them abs stop giving audience to them

If you continue this way, you will break hearts and that will affect you

Stop having time for ladies their is no benefit than them clustering around you, you are not honey and they are not bees

Be discipline and focus

sanmtiago:
Sorry my write up may be lengthy but I'll try as much as possible to be concise

I don't usually see myself as a ladies man cause i'm just a simple person who likes it low key but ladies keep coming around. Of course I like women but I'm not the type who has that excessive impulse to have a woman around me for sex and all that romantic ish. I do have sex when I want to cause I have a girlfriend and I'm loyal to her also. I'm not loyal to her because I love her so much i think I'm loyal because I technically have this inherent self discipline so I hardly chase women. I've dated my girl friend for 2yrs and I've never cheated on her even when I've a deluge of girls flocking around me.

I'm a final year student in my mid twenties and my girl in her early twenties. I don't cohabit cause it doesn't appeal to me so all she does is visit and spend the weekend at my house at times.

Now down to the subject matter I make friends irrespective of their sex but the thing is most of the females I make friends with always want to take the friendship further, they visit me at late hours at times 8pm, 9pm and they stay beyond 10pm and once it's after 10 they begin to give frivolous excuses like, I don't think it'd be safe going home alone by this time of the night or they say they've locked my hostel gate so I literally have no choice than to let them pass the night.

The shocking thing is they begin to make romantic demands like 'can you pls cuddle me I'm cold' I find it so disrespectful cause they know full well I have a girlfriend and I'm not that kind of guy they think I'm.

It happens too often and I'm no longer comfortable with it at this same time I don't want to lose friends as they're nice people. Even as much as my girl knows my level of honesty and discipline she still nervous breakdown because of the inordinate amount of calls from this so called Jezebels.

Please how do I curb this without losing friends cause like I said earlier they're nice and to some extent they've been helpful.
