NARRATIVE NUMBER ONE

ADVICE GONE WRONG

Please I need the advice of BVs urgently.

I encouraged a friend of mine to apply for an M.Sc. program to better boost her chances of getting a job with the hope that she will get a job and be able to sort out her bills (School fees etc.). She applied and got the admission last year and has started lectures but she wasn't able to secure a job. 

Problem now is that her house rent is due and she has even been served a notice to renew it or move out and also her School fees must be paid in a week's time or there will be a 50% increment for late payment. We thought of deferring the admission for a year to enable her gather resources but she was told she must pay school fees first before she can defer the admission. 

She's at a cross road and has asked for my advice but I don't know what to tell her. She has decided to beg a friend to squat her for now but what about School?

Should she just leave the admission? And lose all the money she's used to buy form, pay for acceptance fee etc., which is over 80k since she doesn't even have up to 30% (that’s even plus her business money inclusive because she sells bags and shoes) of the fees now and time is running out? She's been lamenting that if she knew it won't work out she won't have bothered spending the little she had applying for the program.

I feel like a bad friend cos I advised her to apply with the hope she would secure a job.‎ I've known her since our university days and know she singlehandedly saw herself through School through her bag and shoe business. Her parents aren't even financially capable of helping out.

Am I a bad friend for giving her this advice? I feel so bad and terrible that she's this helpless and it's my fault.

Note that she didn't know the School fees payment deadline will be this early (last session's fee deadline was open till almost the end of 2nd semester)

‎What do I tell her to do BVs? Please don’t cuss me out biko.

 Tell her that you didnt know it would be this early as per the deadline.....add ''SORRY'' to your explanation and then move on abeg.

*Yawns and Sneezes ATCHOOOO*

NARRATIVE NUMBER TWO

STUCK BETWEEN THE MAMA’S BOY AND THE HANDY MAN

Stella good day. 

Please I'm a little confused on this issue and I need to hear from my fellow BV because I want to know where I stand. I don't want to make a mistake.

I have these guys: Mr. A has been disturbing me for marriage for two years now. Mr. A is a carpenter ,he said God brought him to my church because of me. I never gave him space and I have told him I'm not interested but he refused to let me be. I don't have one bit of feelings for him. I told him to keep off from me. I even went to some elders in the church to complain and they spoke with him but still he doesn’t want to give up. On my birthday, he sent an expensive gift to me and on Val’s day, he sent gifts to me but I had to return it because I didn't want it to look like I'm interested because of his gifts. 

It's not about his occupation but this guy’s teeth is very dirty. 

People he has had issues with said he is not straight forward. Stella, can God send such a person to someone? 

Now Mr. B is educated, earning about 100k. He has been on me since 3 years now though was not serious then but very serious now. He wants me to give him a yes for an answer but the issues I have with him is that he is too much into his mom. 

He can't do anything without his parents. He is the one carrying all the responsibility of his siblings and cousins, both the ones that are married with kids and the ones without because he is the only one working for now. When we were discussing, he told me he wants to send his elder brother back to school then take over the responsibility of his children and wife plus his aged parents, his widowed cousin and other siblings and still wants to get married and starts his family. Please I'm scared of telling him yes with all these baggage. 

I don't know if I'm been selfish or I'm not thinking right because I don't want to hurt him or tell him not to help his family but I feel the load will be much on us if I end up with him. Please advise me on what to do. I'm confused.

Na wah,e be like say you siddon for two one chanc at the same time.
