Masturbation , this demon was a witch that held me bound for years...!

Not physical neither was it spiritual, but my subconscious mind wouldn't let me rest when ever this demon got a field day in me.....

But I'm clearly a testimony now....

I regret ever starting in the first place, I thank God I've stopped it now, although the temptation do arise especially when I'm alone and idle.

Goods worth almost 500k developed issues depriving me of sales. Now I may not meet up my end of year target but it is well.

December 2017 just a few weeks to Christmas I lost all of my birds (200 layers and 100 broilers). It was an extremely sad event.

lost to what?

Came back to Naija after my Masters degree in uk to stay 4 good years without job. I was miserable.

Eventually things changed for good. But those years were terrible.

November 11th 2001...


A day I will never forget, a day my life took a nose dive, a day I would have been dead and gone but the scars of that fateful day remains with me till date.

But I thank GOD for life and I am eternally grateful to GOD for making me triumph against all odds.

I won't bother you all with the details.

Stayed and hustled 6years in China. Paid a company at Shanghai 10k usd to set up a WOFE company, I was declined that with no refund....Had to come back to this shit hole and start all over again

do you understand there might be rejection and your funds won't be refunded before you apply ?why not challenge those bastard in court or something at least to get 50% of your money back

Setbacks only give you opportunity to be a better person. May we have bearable setbacks must we have setbacks at all.

Haaaaaa!

So sorry bro. Very hard to get over but the Lord is your strength

seyicodes:
Getting angry.. it almost ruined my relationship. I don't know if this is spiritual problem .. but the thing is anytime I think of settling down.. one thing will happen that will make me say something that will ruin the relationship. And what I will say will be unforgivable. I am still begging my fiancee since 4 days ago for the statement I uttered.

Bro na the same boat I dey with you

Everyone has got a story to tell...If all nairalanders comment on this thread,then it will take you a year to read through comments...I had setbacks too but at this stage of my life,no regrets na God dey do tinz

bro I believe my own worse because if I drop my own story I won't be able to finish reading the countless mentions I'd receive

Bornsinner7:
In the Nigerian context

Everybody get story to tell.. Being a Nigerian is a setback on its own

Men dey face trial everyday.. just thank God for life and move on

Been a Nigerian is never a set back, the set back is for those who believe that they can never have growth in Nigeria
