Op should I say you read through my mind. This is what I'm battling with currently. I have been without food for almost three weeks now. I went to an ATM stand here on my campus to check my account balance... Thinking of manna from heaven (I had done this many tines over) Coz I was terribly hungry and my chest hurts like hell. I solely depends on God, my mum and the little my friends give me but I can't at all time bother them, they too are students like me.

And to My girlfriend, you're a world to me even though I conceal this from you

I went to bed yesterday With empty stomach , exam is fast approaching (time table already out).


I pray this time should be a past of me that will inspire others.

Shalom

Pray for Nigeria that God should give us His own leader in Nigeria come 2021 election and beyond. it is high time to stop trusting human. thanks be to God for God prove himself to us. Nigeria trusted human Buhari and we were seriously dealt with. killing of fellow human is not regarded as a serious sin, it is normal, no food, it is correct. kill cow, you are in trouble.History will never forget if we survive it. So let ask God for forgiveness first and ask him to give us our leader. Nigerian may not go to pole before God do it. God will show us mercy and answer our prayer. He will deliver us from fellow human that are deceiving us.
Amen.

Lol. I was dead broke.
I remember waking up deep in the night to eat leftover foods from my hostel mates. Anything I see on their plates, I’ll just pack it and eat. Sometimes, will open the pots and pick the ones left by the side of the pots.
My roommates and I were not close. They were levels ahead of me. Different departments. Some were squatters. Most were Muslim. It was a northern federal university.

I could survive on 2,000 for the entire month. There was this burger sold in front on the hostel ar night. It was basically bread and stuffed with veggies. I’d gather all my strength and wait till night. I’ll buy one for like 80 then get water. Most times I went hungry. This was 2005. Suleiman Hostel, room A3 35.

I am really thankful for life. Life has been really fair to me since I got out of school. I have no single complaints

May be, Na to drop out, as I heard you can't defer a semester without paying your school fees.. How true is this... I can't afford the fees due to the increments in fees by state universities..
Not only Maths and Stats,if you you see a broke student studying Medicine,guy,give them a large mug of beer.

Na so i leave Lagos go school for Uniport oh

School life would never erase from my memory...

I suffered sha!

I remembered trekking one Friday from Choba to Rumagholu all cause i had no money.

I starved from that Friday till Sunday Night and became so weak. I searched every pockets of trouser and shirts i had to see if I'll mistakenly see even 20 Naira but found nothing.

I only found some seeds of groundnuts and Bitter cola which i had for dinner.

Next morning, my neighbour a Family, brought me food...(how they knew i was dying gradually, still a mystery to me till date ) They kept knocking my door atleast once everyday to bring me food.

Me wey by default i no dey eat strangers food.

They took me as family and gave me errands i made money from.

Infact, the man made me his PA and entrusted his ATM cards in my care.

Whenever he travels, he calls me to help him check up on his family from time and whenever they need anything, he authorises me to withdraw and send money to them.

Long story short, i still call this family till date and felt bad when i discovered he lost his Job.

First time i sent something to them because i still had their account numbers saved in my notebook, the woman cried on phone and thanked me with her husband.

Till date, I still Assist them in every little way i can.

They were part of my story

You've done well boss.

Resumed a new session with a 120 naira. That was the beginning of my success in life. I had to write CAs for course mates, term papers, literature reviews for tokens as 50 and 100 naira sometimes. To be sincere, the 'brokeness' turned me to a star, hence my moniker. I will write any paper in the social sciences faculty. RESULTS: was assigned as a quasi- graduate assistant in my final year with a token of 18400 naira. I was sending money home before my graduation. #UNN #MbanefoHallRoom235.

If looking for a way to make extra money on university campus, I would advise to start a buying and reselling of both new and used items on campus.

People that started this business a long time ago can really testify to what I'm saying.

So If you're a student on any campus in Nigeria, I want to show you a way to sell the items faster and much easier.

You see we created this online marketplace for students on campus so we can easily sell our used items or even new items (for those of us into the business)

It is very easy to post an item for sale on the website, so you can visit www.percampus.com today and start selling right away.

Students on my campus FUT MINNA have already started using it.
