My father called me last week and said he needed 500,000 naira urgently. He promised to pay back. My father is a man of his word, so I disturbed my emergency funds and sent it.
Just yesterday, he called me to come to the house immediately. I grumbled because I was far away, but I rushed down.
He presented land documents to me.
He had bought my first land for 2.4 million naira, in my name. He just needed me to come and append my signature.
He said he never wanted that land to pass me by, so he used what he had and got the 500,000 naira balance from me without telling me why.
Then he said something that broke me:
"Since after your secondary education, I have never really had the privilege to gift you anything. You even sponsored yourself through school because I was incapable. This is my little gift to you."
I am finally a land owner. Courtesy of my loving Dad. ❤️
Above all, love God.

“You are not paying Tax but You are struggling , your income is struggling and the APC government that made it possible for you to struggle with your income is coming next year to your already struggling income to cut Tax” —-Man warns Nigerians
School of Hard Knocks interviewed Indomie’s CEO who is Indonesian. He said they also own Dano, Kellogg’s, Hypo, Lush, Guinness & Malt. Their biggest competitor is Nestlé, which owns Maggi. He came to Nigeria for a holiday, and they now generate $2B in revenue. 😳
I honestly don’t know how far this post will go, but I need to try.
I have ₦600,000 left to pay from a ₦1.8m debt that came from a business deal that went badly. I’ve already paid ₦1.2m, sold properties and sacrificed almost everything valuable I had to get to this point.
The ₦600k is due by Saturday, and my house rent is also due soon. I’m trying to raise about ₦1m to clear the debt, sort out my rent and get back on my feet.
I’m not asking anyone to give me ₦1m.
I’m asking you to patronize our business.
We deal in iPhones, laptops, UK-used gadgets, brand-new phones, active & non-active devices, game consoles, speakers and accessories.
For the next few days, I’m crashing our prices and forfeiting a large part of my profit to raise the money I need.
You will hardly find these offers anywhere else. Give me a chance to prove it.
📍 15, Adepele Street, Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos.
Come into the store, inspect and test whatever you want before payment. We also deliver nationwide.
I’ll be posting the available gadgets and prices. If you need an iPhone, laptop, PS5, speaker, smartwatch, charger or any gadget, please consider buying from us.
And if you don’t need anything, please repost.
You may not be able to give me money, but your repost could put this in front of someone who needs what I sell.
I’m not looking for a handout.
I’m asking for an opportunity to sell.
Please patronize us.
Please refer someone.
Please repost.
Give me a chance to work my way out of this.
Thank you. 🙏
Yesterday, I defended my PhD.
Years of research, experiments, writing, presentations, setbacks, growth... and a whole lot of learning led to this moment.
Alhamdulillah. We did it! ❤️
