I never actually thought I'd be making a post like this on nairaland or anywhere else but here I am cause I'm not sure if I can continue to keep this inside of me any longer because it's taking a huge toll on my mental health.
I'm 18 years old and after writing Jamb twice I recently got admission into unilag, I really thought life was only going to get better for me until quickly life took a downturn. I've never felt this bad in my life and I honestly don't know how things have gotten as bad as they are right now. For the past 2 weeks, my entire family has been living off my own money. My dad hasn't done anything tangible this year at all apart from using the rest of his money to help sponsor some bleeped up project in some god forsaken church. If my calculations are correct I've given my dad about 43,000 in about 2 weeks now and he's only been asking for more. Just yesterday I had to ask a friend for 5k just to be able to give my dad. So today, I took a bold step and checked his account balance and I realized that my dad has only about 1500 in his two accounts. I haven't paid for unilag's toxicology test yet or any of the other dues and the guy that helped with the online screening has started breathing on my neck for me to pay him his money. I have no idea whenever things would start looking up for me or my family financially , I can't even speak to any of my friends about this, I'm just going through this alone. I even toyed with the idea of selling my admission but I'm not going to do that cause I still have a little faith that things might get better for me sha. Maybe putting this out there and getting this off my chest would be help me feel better, hopefully though. Well in the words of one of my favourite nairalanders. "Damn, nasty I'm outta here."
