WOW.....
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
LOST MY BOYFRIEND GAINED MYSELF....
I know I send you a lot of emails to advertise my various businesses and I have also sent you a chronicle once.
Its the reason why I feel obligated to also give you good news and encourage other blog visitors through this chronicle.
I sent you a video once of how happy I was to see my sister for the first time in over 10 years, and I had also sent a chronicle about facing challenges regarding the income I was making and how I just wanted to a beacon of light to my family because of the pressure I feel to succeed, as the first child,
I'll keep this chronicle short.
I am from a well to do, but dysfunctional family. So from the outside, everyone looks at me as that upper middle class kid who has life easy, but nobody really sees how hard I paddle under the surface.
Early in the year, I travelled to the States to see my family. But I didn't have much on me. The money I took with me was my savings for over 15 months, and it was just about $500.
I was under so much pressure to shop for clothes, because I was seeing a guy who liked his woman dressed to kill. My mom too loves her children looking Peng at every time so she was egging me on to shop for clothes and shoes and bags. Family members in Nigeria too were expecting Chocolates and gifts on my arrival. I closed my eyes and bought A camera, microphones, tripod, and laptop that could handle media related functions efficiently. I work in the media and I know how to handle the camera, edit, do voice overs, script and come up with content.
So I saw the chance to buy these things as an opportunity to consolidate the skills I had and add value to myself. My $500 was only enough to buy a camera, but when I was returning home, my parent's friends gave me money to buy food at the airport and land safely in Nigeria .......So I joined all that money together, and bought the accessories for the camera. Then my parents saw how far I had gone with the whole thing and decided to assist me so that I could buy the Laptop.
By the time all these was done, I had no money to buy even a simple pant for myself. I had to settle for picking things from my moms room and my sisters cupboard.
When I got back to Nigeria, the prospective boyfriend that I hadn't even started dating left me on, sake of say I nor buy clothes and shoes and stuff, and also because I did not buy anything for him.
Family people were disappointed. Who comes back from the US without chocolates and other gifts? The only things I had to give were perfumes and other light things I picked from the dollar store and they weren't even up to 10 in number. But I carried straight face for everybody o. I didn't allow anyone make me feel bad.
I know in my heart that I had made the right choice.
I would go out, and tell everyone I met that I am a media strategist and I have my own production company, and that I cater to all budgets.
That is how these jobs started coming in o.
In torrents.
From Organisations and Individuals.
Jobs kept coming, even to the extent that I started outsourcing.
I just keep looking at my camera overtime, This camera that is now fetching me around 5 times my salary every month.
With the money coming in from my media contracts, I started setting up other businesses that had been on my mind before. Businesses that I had to rest because of Money. And I am growing. I am still in my mid 20's but now planning towards buying my first house (a flat) next year. Because it is very feasible. Last year, I couldn't even dare buy food at an eatery. My life budget was that tight because the income was a mess.
Look at me now. My car started giving me issues recently, but I didn't mind because I can change it in a month if I decide to.
Life surely feels better and is easier when there is an abundance of resources.
I am writing this to encourage anybody who has dreams. DO NOT GIVE UP. Keep working on it. Be tenacious. Upliftment will come, and when it does, hold on to God...he will make it continuous and permanent.
PS: I Pray a lot o. I pray for 30 mins on an average day. Especially before I sleep or at midnight as God leads. Now I find out that the little seed I have (My entry level camera) Is multiplied by the Grace of God. Some people who have better hi tech equipment don't even get the kinds of Jobs I get and the rate that I get them too. This is why I said, do your bit.....and pray for God to bless your efforts.
SDK Nwanem, I love you. God Bless you.

Some guys and people in general, are that shallow. Some approach me based on my name. When they see I'm living a pretty basic and low-key life, they hightail it. Their loss. I love real people.
DeleteSome steps needs to be taken alone .its the only way to figure out where you need to be.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....
DeleteA lot of girls for don send Stella chronicles sharp sharp say boyfriend leave them. "I even aborted 4 times for him . . .".

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. I'm not so ok financially but not where I want to be. It made me depressed even stopped praying and going to church but I know God still has plans for me. God bless you poster
ReplyDeleteThank you poster,this affirms to me that prayer and hard work makes you laugh last!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very inspiring. You are one wise lady. In the middle of your chronicle, I was like...ahn ahn why couldn't you buy even small chocolate and stuff for people but when I got to the end and read all you've achieved from that one decision, I was deeply impressed.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lesson to us young ladies and youths in general to focus on investing in ourselves and upgrading our skills. Clothes, shoes and bags, cars etc no dey finish for market. Don't look at all those IG small girls with man gods. Sow the seeds today and reap a rich harvest tomorrow.
Great testimony I must say.Congratulations poster.
