@dranthoniaeddo Sorry you said Amuloko , where in Amuloko
I grew up in Amuloko., I hope you enjoyed your time at Amuloko and it was such a great experience for you , though there wasn't constant light then
Many years ago, I landed in a new country with just $600 and a head full of hope. No guarantees. Just faith.
Two weeks in, reality hit hard. My host that I was supposed to stay with till I get myself together chased me out. No warning, no backup plan. Just like that, I was outside, trying to figure out my next move.
Someone told me to go to meet his cousin in New York who could help. I went. I waited at the train station… hours passed… then night came. The person never showed up, and stopped picking my calls.
That moment could have broken me.
But I refused to fold.
I took myself back by bus to Maryland, got a hotel for a few days, and sat down to restructure my life. I really don’t understand how the system really works. People were just telling me to go to Craigslist and search for jobs.
But I needed an accommodation at least. I couldn’t afford to stay in the Hotel for more days.
I finally thought of a friend whose Dad lives here. I spoke to him and he linked me up with his Dad who then linked me to someone from Ekiti State who decided to accomodate me. A complete stranger who showed me kindness when I needed it the most. He gave me a place to stay till I got back on my feet.
From there, things started to shift.
I got my driver’s license. I got a job in a restaurant. I started building step by step, no shortcuts.
And this picture?
This is the first car I bought just 7 months into the journey. Not for luxury, but because commuting to work was a struggle I needed to overcome.
Fast forward to today, I have own better cars, what I made in an entire month back then, I now make more than double of that in just one week. I’m in the category of people who make 6 figures annually in this country. All Glory be to God.
If you’re in a hard place right now, hear this you’re not stuck, you’re just in the middle of your story. Keep pushing.
Went to register a SIM today, and what happened honestly got me thinking.
After the first process, he captured my face, and I assumed everything was done. Next thing, he said the registration didn’t go through because the network was bad. Since I wasn’t paying too much attention at first, we started the process all over again.
This time, I noticed he picked up another SIM entirely, not the one we had registered earlier.
That was when it hit me… he had registered two different SIMs.
This is exactly how people get implicated in things they know nothing about.
I made sure I collected both SIMs, even though he kept denying it. I’m very sure of what I saw.
In the next 24 hours, I’ll find out if both were activated.
Please, whenever you’re registering a SIM, pay close attention. Don’t assume anything. Watch every step.
