The major struggle I've ever experienced in my life now as young man battling with Type 1 Diabetes is not been able to start my business because of financial constraint

Cultivate a life style of exercise. Helps mitigate diabetes a lot.

Got married October 2019, wife died October 2020 (childbirth)
Family wahala
WHO AM I TO QUESTION GOD.
But I am strong again.

Hmm! Just keep pushing on and never regret or consider it as a setback. It is the day one gives up that is the when he has experienced setback really.

Being in the mess APC created for us in this country is enough mess

I'm still young. so i think i never start
but one way dey still pain me was caused by my mere carelessness or ll i call it stupidity
after finishing secondary school. bought jamb form. filled it nd was waiting to b called bk to do the reprinting but i had many Sim cards nd was supposed to get a msg on when to submit my form for the reprinting..
unfortunately the particular sim i used to for jamb wasn't in my phone when jamb sent the msg for reprinting.
to cut the long story short. i saw the msg a day after the deadline for the form submission nd the refused to take it so all my dreams about getting ission tht yr was dashed nd to make it worse it ws with a one day deadline. after all the sleepless nights i had reading for the exam
i was a kid so it ws a lot to bear
i culdnt recover for days

I follow up with my Type 1 Diabetes very well but it has affected me financially and business wise

Nackzy:
Graduating as a geologist and end up not working even as a lecturer or in a firm that's related to what i studied

Honestly I don't consider this a setback. 80 percent of graduates in Nigeria don't work in field related to their discipline.

Okay if you say so, but in Nigeria, there's no enabling environment to practice what we studied in school, i love my career, but it hurts me that till this very moment, i can't break even because i don't have connect

Lost over 2 million to an investment gone wrong. HIT rock bottom, as in, ROCK BOTTOM! That sometimes, I ask myself, is this how life is? Lol! I can only laugh over these experiences now sha!

God pulled me out, Started afresh, and we are making giant strides by God's special Grace. And most importantly, I sincerely thank God for my life! Because I know HE is faithful to take care of my needs even beyond what I can ever imagine. And perfect that which HE has began in my life!

You see, in this life ehn, hold God tight, and the sky will be your starting point.
Talking from experience.

I got withdrawn after spending 5 years in the university. Starting afresh next year hopefully

But in all, i thank God for life!
