Overcoming Disappointment And Finding My Steemit Groove Again 🤦🏻♂️😞💔
I felt shattered, weak and broken when my expectations weren't met. The disappointment from my engineer friend left me questioning my ability to bounce back. I never expected such from him, hmmmmm. It all started early last year, around April/May 2024, when I was working to secure a multimillion-naira contract with my friend. Unfortunately, the client had to travel back to their foreign country to earn some money, which meant we had to start the contract from scratch, since his intention was to build a 5-Storey building hotel.
This is the proposed building
Last month, after the client returned from abroad, we were determined to kick-start the project. I worked tirelessly, pouring over plans and submitting a quotation exceeding ₦200 million. However, to my surprise, the project was approved without my involvement, and my engineer friend claimed the work for himself.
Below is the video showing work in progress at the new construction site....I couldn't hold my tears 😭
I discovered the shocking truth when I saw his WhatsApp status update, showing him working on-site, laying rods in the column. When I confronted him, he confirmed the project's approval. I felt betrayed, given our prior agreement to collaborate and share the profits. To add insult to injury, he bought a new car, and I've yet to receive my share, including the ₦5 million I was expecting.
I felt shattered, weak and frustrated.
During this challenging time, I felt shattered, weak, and frustrated, as if the weight of the world had come crashing down on me. I turned to Jehovah in prayer, seeking guidance and strength to navigate the difficulties. The contract's collapse not only dashed my financial hopes but also foiled my plans to secure an apartment, purchase land, and support my family, a waterleaf farm for my mother and assistance for my father. Everything seemed to unravel.

I'm grateful to be standing strong today. I thank God for His unwavering strength and the wonderful friends He's blessed me with, including @fortwis09, who knows my struggles firsthand. I'm also thankful for the care and concern shown by Ma'am @ngoenyi, who's like a second mother to me. Her inquiry about my absence from Steemit reminded me that sometimes, life requires a pause. I'm back now, and I'm determined to move forward, leaving past disappointments behind. I'm thrilled to reconnect with this amazing community and family.
Chai! I never knew this was what you have been struggling with. This is so heartbreaking! Anyways Jehovah is the only person we can trust completely. Don't worry, I believe that most disappointments do turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Just move forward, Jehovah understands the situation and will surely reward you. Wipe away your tears and stand strong. Life is full of disappointments. But with Jehovah, we will overcome.
