A little back story.

Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.

For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.

Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.

Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

Glory to God

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY. I AM NOT TRYING TO PERSUADE OR COERCE ANYONE INTO ANY RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

A few years ago, after completing my compulsory six-month Industrial Training (IT) and waiting for my final year session to begin, I was working on a practical project for my IT defense, which was to be presented soon.

While using a very sharp knife to cut some materials, it slipped from my hand and landed right between my left thumb and index finger. The cut was so deep that I could literally see my bone. Blood gushed out like a fountain, soaking my room in minutes.

Sensing the danger, I quickly poured hydrogen peroxide on the wound, hoping to stop the bleeding, but it didn’t work. The cut was too deep and wide, and I couldn’t even bear to look at it twice. In a panic, I tore a piece of fabric, wrapped it around my hand, and rushed to a nearby drugstore owned by a nurse.

As soon as she saw the depth of my wound, she gasped and asked what had happened. I just told her to proceed with the treatment, assuring her I’d explain later. She cleaned and dressed the wound with some liquid medication, and almost instantly, the bleeding stopped.

When she asked if I wanted stitches, I refused out of fear, insisting the wound would heal on its own.


THE UNEXPECTED TURN

After the final dressing and bandaging of the wound, I felt relieved as the nurse explained my treatment routine and the medications I needed to take. But suddenly, everything went blank.

I felt empty, as if my soul was leaving my body. It was a painful, forceful separation, and I was utterly helpless. My body felt dry, drained of life. In those few moments, I experienced something beyond comprehension—I felt as though I was traveling between the past and future, reliving memories in flashes. My soul was crying, and my biggest thought was how my mother would react upon hearing that her son had died in school.

It all happened so quickly. Just as I was about to collapse completely, I heard a loud cry: "THE BLOOD OF JESUS! OH, THE BLOOD OF JESUS!"

Over and over, the nurse repeated these words. In that instant, my soul awakened, and an unexplainable surge of energy rushed through my body.

Apparently, while I was slipping away, the nurse noticed my eyes rolling back and turning white. Realizing I was losing consciousness, she immediately began pleading the blood of Jesus over me. That was how I came back to life!


A MIRACULOUS HEALING

As if that wasn’t enough, another miracle followed—the deep wound that should have taken weeks to heal started closing up within days. Even the nurse was astonished! She attributed it to me having good skin, but deep down, I knew it was God at work.

Despite my injury, I completed my project successfully and defended it excellently. Today, I have long graduated, healthy and strong, to the glory of God.

Bro, choose your mental health over anything else.
If you have family members in Nigeria that can help you to get out of the depression, please come back home. Loneliness is a major player in how you feel.

Coldie:
Depression is making me begin to have mental health issues, it’s going out of control, that’s y I want to mk a step to leave the system

We're in the same school of thought. I love a very private life.

MadamVanessa:


Desperate woman stoop so low like this, and the man have no iota of respect for a woman he claims he loves.

What's the point of all these? Can't proposals be intimate and private affairs? Some persons even go to the extent of dressing up, visiting a photo studio, and capturing the moment. So childish to me

As for me, I highly doubt I'll ever consider remarriage, despite having numerous suitors at present but if at all I made a change of mind. To any potential admirers, let this be clear, I will not be proposed to in a public spectacle. You don't have any right to kneel down for me while proposing, you don't have the right to expect me to kneel and accept a ring. Try that silly attitude and see me walk away from you.

All you said here is pure trash.
Did he rape the women?
It was a consensual sex ffs.
Don't blame the man. If the women didn't agree to it, he would not have done anything.

Alakoriomo:
OMG 😦 That guy should be punished for taking advantage of these women who just want to stay fit. His gym should be closed Omg and he should be made ti pay 50M naira each to these women. Once they give birth he should assume responsibilities as a provider. His passport should be seized to prevent him from escaping to other African countries like Nigeria so he won’t come here to come and corrupt our women.

Women are precious, pristine, without sin, and should never be taken advantage of. As men, our duty is to protect our women , even if that requires giving up our lives.

This comment is 100% accurate.

Billionaires don't work with opinionated people. The risk got him there you can't tell him nothing

If you're based in Lagos, let me be your new man. I don't watch football, neither do I support any club.

FeliciaOja:
I meet him July this year, everything about him is cool. My only worry is his fanatical support for arsenal which I consider the worst club on earth.

He keeps disturbing me of how his club will win the league, but whenever they lose he becomes super depressed and aggressive.

We have talked about this many times and he has sworn to change.
But this night he came back very late and was making so much noise, shouting and yelling
Then I googled scores and saw that his club lost today

I can't take it anymore
He is not the first guy I have dated that loved football. His own is that when his club loss it affects him very bad.

I have even suggested he should stop supporting arsenal but he won't listen.
After this night rubbish he just displayed I'm thinking of calling it quits.

Am I overreacting??

Greatmind653:
How do you handle loneliness in marriage?
There's no intention of cheating, but lonely.
Like a very deep space between you and your partner, due to the fact that he has a particular lifestyle (addiction) inflicting stress on everyone in the family that you don't like, but he has refused to change.
This has removed love, intim.acy and affection in the marriage, thereby making it look so empty. Like you both can stay months without touching each other.
How do you manage such home/relationship?

That's if she makes it out alive

jackmrandy:
I watched the video. the woman is an idiot. After all the steps and efforts taken to rescue her from the hands of a beast, she still have the guts to say the case should be withdrawn. Wait for the worst to come. this same woman will come out again, just watch and see.

Why blaming her now? Or didn't you read when she said 90% of people advised her to buy the dollar. What made you think your opinion would be noticed, considering that you're part of the minority.

Indeed, life itself is a risk.

@OP, if you don't sell your dollars, you've not lost anything. I'll advise you hold. Dollar will definitely rise again to a new ATH.

IF YOU SELL YOUR DOLLAR AT LOSS, THEN YOU LOSE.

Wujio:
Smh. I recall stating clearly on the orevious threwd not to biy dollar at all at the current rate that it was too late. Do people ever listen at all?


What advice is that. Did i not clearly say dollar to naira value is in uncertain levels and not to attemot buying it. Many of us kept shouting dont buy dollars anymore una no dey here.


Keep your money in your bank account and thats your best investment for now

I’m looking for a Low-key,clean, well to do man i can be having fun with. A man who knows how to treat a woman well and have a good time.
I need someone that's good with his head game, I want a man that enjoys it, I need him to eat and suck me well then Bleep me good. You can be single, married, divorced or a widower. I'm 420-friendly too.
preferably on the mainland of Lagos (Ikeja/Alimosho), if but if you're on the island or not in Lagos don't hesitate to reach out. You never know what could happen.

You got my attention you're looking for. Now, REST!

MikeMicheal:
This one dey find totoo

It's funny how some people think they can speak for other people.

First off, my message wasn't directed at you.

Secondly, where in my writeup did I say I want to marry her or have a relationship with her.

Don't bother quoting me. Just read and pass. Thanks.

LivingSage:
What's your plan
Getting man isn't her problem, she's only focus/fixated with the negative aspect of relationship.

Why do you think she'll even like random guy like you, THAT'S EVEN IF YOU HAVE PURE INTENTION

Yes, you're older than me, but I don't mind getting close to you. If you don't mind also, send me your contact on mastervikk@gmail.com

Jewessgratitud3:
Hopefully someone leans from my story. I don't regret any of my decisions so far. I'm happy that in all, I wasn't consumed, used to a point of no return in fact if you see me, you'll hardly believe I'm 42 for say I get small protruding stomach ( which almost everyone has) it's only when I eat. Otherwise its normal. So it's caused by food and I overeat.

I also don't regret not having child outside wedlock cos it would have reduced my chances of getting attention from men even at my age. Yes.. I still get attention like serious advances from single men. This is not to make a boast. In this year alone, I've had two suitors. Very responsible guy and man but the thing with me is that I'm too picky. if I don't like you first, it e go hard. So those two were not my spec and I won't trap myself in a loveless marriage just because of age or "time is going " , if it's not what I want, I won't do it. Call me anything you like, your opinion. I don't kia!

But the colleague that is on duty will have the chance to gist with someone off duty?

Dey play.

@OP, watch your back.

Hathor5:
I don`t know the nature of her work but at work I don`t get to gist with my colleagues/friends a lot because at work we work. If we want to spend some good time togther, talk and laugh, we meet after work or on a free day.

If you don`t trust her, then you guys have much bigger issues than what has happened today.

I disagree with this ranking.
You can't just rank the cheapest countries to live in using only the price of commodities in the countries without measuring it with the minimum wage in those countries.

Rubbish ranking!

EcoBrick:
@stats_feed World of Statistics

Yes, you're right. But I feel the elder bro is the one that should be open to the younger bro.

All the same, good luck to the both of them.

Mrdonadefe:
My brother i get your point 100%. I just feel the younger brother should be open to his elder brother. For example, he ask the elder bro for money and was given 500 the next day and was also told not to expect anything.
I feel he has to be a man now.

Only a food like you would not understand that my point/conclusion was solely based on the available information.

How do you intend to hear the brother's story now?

If, all the time, we would be waiting to hear both sides of stories, then no one would have anything to say to anything here.

If I may ask you, how many stories on Nairaland have you heard the both sides??

Gajagojo:
You have no point

Any elder will know there are two sides to any dispute

You cannot judge without hearing both

It is this same kind of unthinking job mentality that would hear somebody stole penis on the street and beat somebody to death.

I'm not saying the elder brother is under any obligation/compulsion to feed the younger bro. But common sense should have told him to have a heart-to-heart conversation with his younger brother on the situation of things and why he acts the way he does. I mean...you can't just act like you don't know that your younger brother is starving nah. Haba! If you can't feed him, let him know why.

I don't know if you get my point.

Mrdonadefe:
I honestly do not think it is right to tell someone how to leave their life, especially if it is not against the Law.

The fact that you can sacrifice your meal for your siblings does not mean everyone must do the same. The young man is 21, the elder brother is just 28 and also struggling.

What do you expected a 28 year old to own in this life stage? He is way too you young to feed a 21 year old. They can both work together

Just my humble opine

I took my time to read all your comments and there's one thing common to them all...."complete lack of sense".

How could an elder brother be comfortable with his younger bro sleeping hungry? If he could do that to his own blood brother, imagine how he'd treat a step brother. Now imagine how he'd treat a total stranger.

And you as a person, MS247, support madness. I pity your family.

I pity your parents, your siblings, your children and your wife. You're just as useless as NOTHING.

MS247:
This kind of entitlement mentality is very very wrong

I'm interested.

If only anything good could come out of Nairaland.


I am shamelessly putting it out here that I need a man in my life. I need a man ready to settle down.
I am a core introvert, calm and kind.
I automatically transitioned into a loner because I need my peace of mind, I can't keep attracting things that will continue to hurt me. However, I can't continue living such life, not in my prime.

I need a serious man, 27-45, a Christian, single and searching, ready to settle down this year or beginning of next year, I will accept any tribe.

Please I don't want someone that will give me headache, or make me regret my decision. If you annoy me I will stop talking to you.
I am a 26 years old Igbo lady living in Lagos state, I am a graduate and currently working as a freelancer.

If interested send me an email.

I will tell you for free that older women and cleaner than younger ones in terms of STI.

Bukola94:

Many virgin ladies dey out there, who want to be deflower by hot guys like u. Na grannies and ancestors u want to be drilling. Something is not right, u need quick intervention before you go age disgracefully

Talk bro. Everyone is entitled to express how they feel. You don't have to think about what people think of it.

BlackAdam65:
yours is better mine is worst in fact let me not say anything don't wanna be called a pervert

Good day, everyone.
Trust you're all doing good.

I'm a 34-year old single Lagos guy. A graduate of Statistics in a top Nigerian Uni. I'm gainfully employed and doing averagely well for myself.

Now the bottom line of this writeup is that I'm sexually attracted to older women. Once I set my eyes on any good looking older woman, I get attracted to her by default.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing abnormal about this. So please if you're a woman living in Lagos between the ages of 37 to 48 and will like to explore with a young guy, send me a mail to

mastervikk@gmail.com

blessingnenye:
A lot of ladies are scared of 30. What's really wrong with 30? Why so dreadful with the age, after all it's just a number!!! Even with a lot of accomplishments, being 30 and single can be so pressurizing among out ladies, owing to the pressures from families and society to get married. Sometimes, this pressure sums up the reason why majority delve into an unfruitful marriage.

Come to Lagos, let me wife you.

HanisahZuwy:
Please, I need your input/opinions/suggestions/advice on the state I can find love and also find work.

Confusedgirlie:
Before I left Canada for Nigeria in 2020, I had heard severally that it was very lonely there for Nigerian immigrants. I didn't quite understand what people meant exactly when they said this. However, over time I now have a very good understanding of this particular challenge with migration. Here are some of the things I've learnt on the way. But first, a little background about me.

I'm an introvert and I like my introversion. It gives me a lot of time to think and to be in my own space which I enjoy a lot. I read, write and love to watch documentaries. Those are the three most important things to me in life. When I lived in Nigeria, I lived a mostly secluded life that didn't have a lot of people in it. Regardless, it wasn't boring to me. I went out when I wanted to and took my time for my own activities.

Since being in Canada, my observations have been that it is a lot lonelier here. The reasons are very obvious: there are not a lot of people around me from a culture I'm familiar with (Nigeria), so it's definitely a lot more difficult to interact with others. That's one key point. Another is that I don't really have to go out to purchase things (even groceries), compared to when I was in Nigeria. I can simply order everything I need while sitting in the comfort of my home. Hence, the temptation is to go this way. In addition, I don't have family around, so I'm mostly by myself. And finally, the few friends I have are often busy, so there's hardly time to get together.

That's about it. I think these are some of the challenges Nigerian immigrants face. But the real question is, do I feel lonely?

The honest answer to that is a No. I find that my life is exactly the same way I lived it in Nigeria, only a lot more convenient and comfortable. I can't trade this for anything. In addition, as an introvert who likes to be by herself anyways, it's just a lot more enjoyable.

Nevertheless, there are steps I'm planning to take to change a few things. I am now taking more opportunities to actually go out and buy things even if I don't have to, e.g groceries, clothes, etc. Secondly, I say hello first to strangers and neighbours and get to ask them a few questions. This I wouldn't have done on the first place. Finally, I downloaded a social media application called clubhouse and have been making new friends in my area using this. As a cautious person, I'm taking baby steps here and not jumping straight into friendships I may not like.

Overall, what do I think of being in Canada as an introvert? I enjoy it. My life and choices are a lot better and I find that I have the time to do much more than I was doing back in Nigeria, not hampered by lack of power or resources.

My advice to others is to gauge their expectations carefully as they come to Canada with or without family. It can be lonely here, but that's not because Canada itself is lonely. It's just because you need to dig deep and find yourself in a new country where family is absent and culture is unfamiliar.

Oga, your brother started the nonsense joke. How could he say he'll be sending your wife on errand anyhow? What rubbish is that? Even if your brother is older than your wife, he has no right to send her on errands "anyhow". I'm so disappointed in you for admitting that your brother can send your own wife (fiancée) on errands anyhow. That's a disrespect to you if that happens.

The only person I pity here is the innocent lady that wants to marry someone like you. I'm sure if you catch your brother beating your wife, you'll say he has the right to do so.

Rubbish!

Ndubuisipaul1:
My fiancee told my younger brother that she will send him out of my house if we get married. She was joking, but it didn't sound like a joke to me.

Let me tell you how this started. My younger brother told my fiancee jokingly, that he will be sending her on errand anyhow, when she marries me. Although he went too far for saying he will be sending her on errand anyhow. But he has every right to send her on errand because he senior her. She then replied that if my brother do anyhow, when we get married she will ask me to send him away from my house. At this point I stop seeing the whole discussion as joke. I asked her to repeat what she said, she repeated it again (take note: she was saying everything jokingly)

I told her right away that if my brother comes visiting when we get married, she will not send him away. She said she will use her woman power to make me send him away.

She went further to ask me, that if they ask me now to choose between her and my brother who would I choose. I told her I would choose my brother (she could see the seriousness in me).

And I really meant it, any girl that will separate me and my brother will have to use jazz .

This my younger brother established the business that I am doing today. Has done countless number of things for me.

We don't joke with each other, and she knows that.

So am really scared, could this be a joke ? even though it a joke. How can a woman joke that she will separate two brothers ?

Nairalanders, please help a brother with your advice. is this a red flag ?

Contrary to your opinion, Nigerian men are one of the most hardworking men in the world. In addition, Nigerian men are smart and intelligent. There's no country that doesn't have a few bad men but it's not enough to call all of them useless.

By the way, you're indeed pretty.

Can we be friends?

Sheistoopretty:
Is dis not same person that said her baby died in her belly? now dis again

Spare us the pity party stories pls

First to comment

I dedicate it to the hardworking men around the world except Nigerian men, very unintelligent people all dey know is sex sex sex, Ritual killing, Kidnapping, Banditry, cultism and hard drugs

Nigerian men are Us*less....all of them
