Life Communications
I grew up in a polygamous family as is very prevalent in most African cultures. My dad was not just polygamous he was also promiscuous. There were days we came back from school to see that he had brought in another woman into the family house especially when my mom had gone on a job transfer to another Town. I used to feel extremely terrible because my mom was good woman, she didn't deserve that.
My mom was a nurse with the local ministry of health while daddy was a police officer. He was tall, lanky and actually every woman's dream. He was very handsome, but he didn't value his family.
Things got worse when we started high school and then college, he literally stopped paying our tuition nor buying books. Our father was a very wealthy Man whose wealth was only spent on prostitutes outside and other strange women. When he came home to his family, he never had money. It was with this manner of pains that I grew up as a child. I grew into hate men and hated them with deep rooted passion. It affected my relationship as a younger girl and made me very apprehensive of men, hence developing serious trust issues .
One day after I was sent home from school because of inability to pay my school fees, I cried home to meet my beloved dad only for me to meet with him with another woman just on the sofa in the living room. They couldn't even have the courtesy of locking doors before beginning their escapede.
I was infuriated so I began to yell and express anger, I called the woman I went to meet with my dad a prostitute, this infuriated my already angry dad the more, he picked up his official gun and corked it, threatening to shoot me. I ran out of the house that day almost naked, that day I nearly disowned my dad because it didn't seem I was his legitimate child.
I struggled to see myself through nursing school and as God would have it, I succeeded as I came out in flying colours. Today I can boldly be called a registered Nurse in Nigeria.

My salary was hardly enough for our feeding, accommodation, my children's school fees and what have you?
Then transformations came when I joined steemit. I needed a laptop for a part time job that would help my finances too, but I couldn't raise enough for it.
Then I gained access to steemit, my miracles began to take steady effects. Before long I could purchase a new phone and the Brand New laptop computer.
Steemit Financial Transformations
BUSINESS AND EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS
I started a business from proceeds made from monies earned from steemit. I have always been against one stream of income, but my issue was always raising the initial capital. My mom used to rear poultry bird. I decided to take it to a greater level and read more circles and people.

COMMUNITY COMMUNICATIONS
perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give—the ability to influence.
Shannon L. Alder
There is a certain dimension of love that giving opens up. Giving wets the soil of love and softens it. Once in a while to the people you love and appreciate, give gifts, it doesn't need to be expensive.
When loved ones share gifts, the importance they have for each other will automatically convert the gift to an important one, not minding the cost, because the greatest cost is that of feeling so dearly about someone whom you risk a whole lot to trust.
We should stop having dry relationships and professing dry love, for even God so loved the world THAT HE GAVE, stop withholding your hands, there is no true love that doesn't manifest in giving. We have quite sadly in the 21st century lost the art of giving to receiving.
This was why assist part of my contribution to society and giving back to the society, I led a team to visit the orphanage home here in Uyo, Nigeria. Truly steemit can be a force to reckon with if we the participants are honest and resilient.
