Familyplug: A 50-YEAR-OLD NIGERIAN WOMAN SHARES HER REGRETS ABOUT HER PARENTS SENDING HER ABROAD TO SCHOOL AS A TEENAGER.
I came to the UK in the 80s and went to Skinners school for girls in Stamford hill where I failed woefully. I come from a family where going abroad was like going to the market for us. I lived with my sister-in-law who I happened to have appeared to as a burden at the time. I had no one to take me out as a child, didn't enjoy McDonald's treats. I remember being bought KFC once by my mother's younger sister who was in the UK at the time. Most days I had to walk from Pembury estate, Hackney to Stamford hill because I had no transport fee. An uncle got me free school meals from the government so I always had lunch at school but other meals were not guaranteed...
No one ever asked me how I was doing in school even though I was a failure, never disclosed my report sheet because my results were always 'U- Unclassified' worse than F9. I lived at the expense of a few of my brother's friends who were ready to give me £5 in exchange for me seating on their laps whilst they used my nipples as a toy. On a few occasions, my immediate family would give me £5, £10 but NONE EVER TOOK ME ON AS HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITY. One glorious day, a brother of mine took me on when he noticed that I have been associating with friends that were smoking and sexing at the age of 12 but due to malicious beating every day I had no choice other than to run away from his house. ....
I became streetwise, smoking heavily at the age of 11/12, and did my first abortion at the age of 14/15. I was unable to contact my mother because I had no access to the telephone moreover I didn't know how to use the phones then. I lived with a Jamaican friend who was a few years older than me and we had a man friend aged 50t who was impotent but would pay our rent whenever we allowed him to lick/suck us. Hhhhmmmm I'm sobbing as I'm writing this; I don't know why my spirit has led me to share this horrific and pathetic story but I am sure it is to bless someone out there so I am not ashamed of letting it out because someone outthere will think twice before making the mistake my family made.
I and friends began to find it easy to befriend men for money at night clubs (Gullivers, Petter Stringfellows, etc) at a very young age which I found disgusting, they molested my body orally. I can't even carry on expressing my bitter past experiences because I have learnt to see them as the strengths that made me who I am today...
The Koko of this post is this... Now in the UK, we see Nigerian children killing, shooting, stabbing, selling drugs, raping, etc and we wonder why they are ridiculing our darling country's name... Hhhhmmmm it is not the kids' fault it is the fault of the parents that weren't ready to prioritize their priorities.
I can't blame my mother and neither can I blame my father because they thought sending me abroad to school was the best for me. They also trusted my siblings and didn’t like to get involved in the way they were raising us. They believed when you give a goat to someone, you let go of the rope. They didn't know their darling daughter had become something else.....
You may be boosting that your child lives in London, America, etc but do you ever ask yourself how life is treating them where they are??
So many parents in Nigeria believe the field is greener on the other side forgetting that NO ONE CAN TRAIN YOUR KIDS THE WAY YOU CAN EXCEPT LOVING & GOD-FEARING PEOPLE.
In the UK so many Nigerian parents have misplaced their priorities, they rather work 24/7 and make all their monies to build mansions in Nigeria at the expense of their children's lives.
So many Nigerian parents in the UK don't even attend parents' evenings at their kid's school, some can't even help their kids with homework. Some believe their kids are at home and they are safe not knowing who is there with them. Some would rather spoil their kids with money & expensive outfits instead of investing quality time in them.
Sending your kids abroad to be looked after by someone else is a pure waste of time and bringing your kids from 9ja without giving them all the time needed is an irresponsible move and to be working all God-sent hours, making sterling, dollars, and euros, naira, etc without spending quality time with your kids is a disgrace to parenthood.
This is one of our bad irresponsible cultures even back home ….most children in Nigeria were brought up by housemaids/gatemen/next door/grandmothers/neighbors etc. Some Nigerians don't believe in family planning rather they will have so many children and start using them to hawk sweets, bread, etc after school...
Having a child is not by force, God did not say YOU MUST HAVE CHILDREN, YES HE STATED 'MULTIPLY' but he didn't mean we should do it to suffer for them. Having children does not mean you will live your life joyfully and it doesn't give you a place in heaven either, instead, your children may make you miss heaven if care is not taken.
I am a product of a neglected, nonchalant, cultural upbringing and I WILL NEVER WISH IT ON MY GREATEST ENEMY BECAUSE I HAD IT ROUGH AND IN SADNESS.
Let us stop being selfish and stop pushing our problems/burdens on others. Your child should be with you no matter how poor or rich you are and you must teach them in the ways of God.
Some parents in Nigeria, have children in Diaspora and know nothing about their life , only the fact that their child is abroad.
You had the opportunity to live abroad with your elder sibling and you missused the opportunity.
Even in your 20s, 30s and 40s, you did not reset your brain, until you were 50.
Your parents did the best for you then, stop blaming parents.
Many a Nigerian kids were born in the villages but they made good enough choices to get education or Lear a trade and pull their families out of poverty.

LasisiAyodeji: Few days ago, Senegalese star player Sadio Manè confirmed that he wasn't going to be a part of the Senegalese team playing in Qatar.
The sad news, drew various responses and analysis from pundits as views were contradicting on the influence of Manè on the overall performance of the team.
His unexpected injury, was seen as a morale killer few days before the country kick-started the tournament against European giant, the Netherlands.
As many pundits expressed their concerns in proximity to the team's progression from the group stage that consist of the host nation Qatar, Ecuador and the Netherlands. Having lost their opening game, many would still want to believe that Senegal stands a chance in the event that they defeat Qatar and can draw and or defeat Ecuador.
Consequently, many Africans would be happy seeing the African champions progress but then, how can they far can they go without their talisman?
Senegal can beat Quatar easily and draw against Equador.

Sammydanny: Chinko Ekun, one of Nigeria's popular rappers and singer, has told a really interesting story of how things went rough for him. He talked about how things fell apart in his personal life after he rose to the spotlight as a popular artist.
The rapper made this revelation at the SummerJam 2022 conference at Pastor Bolaji Idowu‘s Harvester’s Church in Lagos state. Chinko Ekun, who gained lots of popularity after releasing the song titled “Able God”, revealed he suffered a major setback in his career when he was signed to Dek-Niyor Entertainment.
He confirmed he had a fallout with his boss at the time which led to him losing his deal with the label. He stated that the label reclaimed the house and cars that were gifted to him. He began to squat with friends and often slept on the floor.
Because of how rough things were, his girlfriend even left him and the heartbreak was so tough that it landed him in the hospital.
lhordspy: Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has vowed to sue some media organisations over alleged fake news and character assassination of his personality.

Celebrityblog: Please help!! Foreign numbers from Algeria, Mozambique, Serbia, Benin, Angola, and several other countries keep flashing me. Different numbers oooo.

Agbegbaorogboye: Why are they apologizing to Tinubu instead of INEC? INEC is the injured party here not Tinubu. Arise should stop sucking up all because they want an interview
We forget that there are laws in Nigeria.
I hope you know what they call LIBEL or defamation of character?
Arise TV will end up in court for damages that they will not recover from.
AIT did same in 2015, Raymond Dopkesi had to beg on national TV and newspapers because Bola Tinubu had sued the TV station for billions.
[quote author=GREATIGBOMAN post=118285012]So due to how Naira misbehaving.
I went and withdrew 70% of my savings from the bank and bought $19,000 worth of USDT at N863 per dollar on binance p2p
Guess what.
I just check and they're currently selling usdt there at 722 naira.
My hard earned money just lost like that
I just deleted the app... If they like let them make it drop to N400
Crypto have really delt with me
Last year it was one merchant token that ripped me off $2000 Then Shiba Inu ripped me $1200
Anytime I do anything crypto related I lose money
Will anyone advice me to sell my USDT now at 722 and accept my loss or wait untill December if Naira will lose value further to say N900 to a dollar
Will dollar be scarce in December?
Omo wait be patient now!
I bought at N540 and it has continued to rise.
As long as Nigeria has nothing to export to make Dollars, the Naira will continue to depreciate.
An Economic analyst predicted in 2015 when the APC government came onboard that the Naira will depreciate to 1000, I never believed it will happen, but his prediction has come to pass.
But you should have kept your Dollars in a Domiciliary Account or kept it in cash in a safe place.
The entire crypto space is bearish now.
Even Bitcoin is going down, until the World Recession is over then it will be time to buy crypto and make sure you go for those with Real life applications, not just any crypto.
I missed the 2 Bull Rally in the Crypto space and I will not miss the next one (2023 and beyond) by the grace of God.
Make sure you do your research too.
Keep your Dollars safe, because some Crypto Exchanges are crashing.
