Hello everyone, it's been another stressful day hustling and bustling trying to make ends meet in Nigeria. I'm just grateful that I've seen a worthwhile platform where I can share my thoughts. Thanks to @steemalive for this great opportunity given to us. Here's how my day went.
MY DIARY
6 am this morning my mom woke me up, told me it was time to prepare for work. By work I mean market, like most Igbos she is a business woman. She buys and sells bed sheets and bedding materials. I woke up feeling moody I've been stress 3d a lot lately and my parents are not helping matters always nagging and complaining about each and everything. Today seemed to be the worst, I was up all night binge watching my favorite anime series jujutsu kaiken and I was down like way down, no energy left for anything. There's comes my mother shouting as always. I took a shower got dressed and left for her shop.
It wasn't up to 30 mins I had left the house that I had been stopped by the police. Why was I stopped because I wore joggers and Tommy Hilfiger palms as a result I'm a yahoo boy. I tried explaining to no avail but the police refused to listen. At the end of the day I had to part with #500. This is broad daylight robbery by the police meant to protect us. I couldn't take pictures because it was the police and I was real scared nearly shit my pants. I finally got to the market and the real problem began. Due to the movies I'd been binging I didn't have an atom of energy left in me and my mom made it a point of to for the whole day constantly nagging and shouting. I love her I really do but sometimes I feel my parents don't really understand me. Whenever I press my phone tryna come up with articles for steem my parents see it as me being lazy. They don't understand it's a for the pay. Sometimes I just wish she could understand me. Being the first born it's very hard everyone is counting on you. My mom dad siblings even my girlfriend, they are all counting on me and the country is not helping matters. Been studying petroleum engineering for 3 yrs now but I already know there no job available for me. The petroleum industry is pretty messed up and the Nigerian government doesn't give a damn. This country is making it hard for us to survive.
Had a bad day today really wouldn't want to remember my experience with the police and the fear I felt in their presence. Thanks to you all for reading. Remain blessed.
