In 2020, all I had was ₦20,000 I made from my days of playing Bet9ja.
My girlfriend at the time, who is now my wife, was a fresher at the University of Ibadan and needed some money to start a business.
I honestly didn’t think twice.
I sent her the money and supported her as she started her perfume business.
Later that same year, I made some really bad decisions.
A friend and I took money from some friends to trade with, and we lost everything.
We ran into serious debts, and things became crazy.
I had to sell almost everything I had.
I was depressed.
I got to a point where I considered selling one of my kidneys just to pay off the debts.
I even considered suicide.
Yeah, it was that terrible.
But while all of this was happening, something else was happening too.
My girlfriend’s business was growing.
And not just growing a little.
It was doing really well.
She was young. Beautiful. A student. She had her own money. She had every reason to walk away from a man who had nothing to offer at that point.
But she stayed.
She took care of me.
She fed me.
She clothed me.
She supported me.
She stood by me through what was probably the lowest point of my life.
Looking back now, I realise that she could have left.
There were probably many women who would have.
She had enough reasons to choose herself and walk away.
But she didn’t.
She stayed.
Today, when I think about the woman I have beside me, I don’t just see my wife.
I see the young girl who believed in me when I had nothing.
I remember those sacrifices.
I remember those difficult days.
And I just want to say:
Thank you, my woman. ❤️
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for believing.
Thank you for loving me when loving me wasn’t convenient.
I will never forget.
I was in Europe for three weeks and used 26gb of data.
I’ve been in Nigeria 6 days and MTN is telling me I have used 55gb despite being at home and connected to my in-house WiFi for most of that time.
@MTNNG you people are bloody thieves!
Dear @MTNNG I miss your call earlier which you sent a message to follow up however it is imperative I inform you that I would love to have a documented line of communication and not a phone conversation due to the extra process of presenting an electronically generated evidence
That lawyer that’s dragging MTN for stealing her yearly data doesn’t know what she’s doing for the whole Nigeria. These network providers have been stealing from us all, and she’s voicing out our pain.
Even if she needs financial support for the legal case, we will raise it💪🏼
Dear @MTNNG , it is with a heart filled with joy I use to inform you that you have until 11:59pm Monday, 31st of August to duly respond to my comprehensive well broken down mail with a duly comprehensive report and review 🤝
