Many years ago, I was a victim of this alongside my mother. I do have siblings but they're hardly around to share in our sorrow.
I and my mother would cry like babies; we do this for months in the year 1999.

1999 was one of those years that opened me up to hardcore suffering of hunger, misery, dejection and wandering among other things that qualify a human being to being poor.

The struggle was real, my father was constantly unavailable... there was no phone and i could barely write him letters to come stay with us.
He was in his early forties back then; during the era of Abacha. I know nothing but sorrow. I just can't help but cry.

If God had consulted me and give a preview of the world I was about experiencing, I would have beg for eternal stay with him till Kingdom come.
Many questions begging for answers, what did do wrong to be thrown down here to suffer this level of hardship?

I pray God will forgive me if I die a sinner; situations around me can't make me live a like Enoch.
I hope there's a way-out around the corner...

Sorry if this whole epistle is losing clarity... I wish to paint an impression of my heart on this page but the memories of yesteryear won't let me stay focus at the moment. Now my brain is numb... I can no longer type, I can only cry

May God ease the sufferings of every poor soul out there. I have attached a picture to show how I felt for Africa and the Black race.

If you are in leadership embezzling public funds, this is a wake up call for you to repent; if your heart does not prick after seeing these children cry, you're no better than a robot.

Peace! To The World.

what's funny here?

Blessed are those who finds joy in people's misfortune... that must be your version of the gospel, right?
May God give you yours... as you have sowed, so shall you reap. Pressed down, shaken together shall men laugh at your misery. (no offense)

If you can not show empathy, no point commenting.

Errrrm...life can never be fair...I vow to do my part in making. World a better place tho!

If you were God!

'hehe' has many meanings.
....and you'd say you're a Christian o. You actually commented but I couldn't see your EMPATHY.

This is a cursed country.

The good thing is that you are not God, and your thought is not the thought of God. So, all these venom you poured is because he wrote "hehe". See how quick u were to place curse on a fellow,, Mr. Empathy. It's quite disappointing.
@the topic. Well, God is your strength. I may not know the details though, but I've tasted hardship earlier in life, so I can reasonably relate to ur story. I know what it means not to have; what it means to have dad in prison and mum suffering to provide one or two meals a day; what it means to eat only cassava; what it means not to have text books while in school etc. All I can tell u is not to lose hope. That's the only thing that will keep you until your door opens. Be blessed friend.
