I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU AROUND MY HOUSE FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER. 

Said by my angry father to me.

I may not narrate the whole story but please I want you all to read through and advise me please.

My name is comfort I am a virgin at 17 years old and in SS2 class, but now I am 22 years old. Do not want to disclose my State.

Since my child hood, my mum has been restaurant owner.

I and my siblings, We always go to my mum's restaurant to help her out after school and you know that many people comes to eat food everyday especially single Guys.

During that time there is a very handsome dark tall guy who also comes to eat in my mum's restaurant and he would always want me to Serve him.

Each time he comes and if I have to give him change he would ask me to keep it for myself, even when I insist that he should take his change, he would persuade me to keep it.

As time went on I started getting attracted to him because of the way he treats me and one day he asked me out, I agreed and we started dating.

It was all going well, I would always lie to my mum that I am going for choir rehearsals and I will sneak to his house and each time we meet, we do have sex. 

Until one month I realized that I haven't seen my period for two months, and remember my parents were not aware of our relationship so during this time , I was so afraid and I met my boyfriend first to tell him that I am pregnant.

And when I approached him I told him that I am pregnant he started shouting at me that he is not responsible for my pregnancy and even if he is responsible for it that he is not ready to get married or father a child. I became so angry and reminded him that he is the one that deflowered me.

I didn't Know what to do so I asked him what I should do to the baby and he told me to get ready for abortion.

I said God forbid that I can't abort my baby, I can't kill a child and his final word I should be ready to cater for the pregnancy by myself that I was alone.

At this Time I had no other option than to tell my parents.

On a faithful Sunday after Church service that day I decided to tell my mum first.

And before this day she has been asking me what the problem is that I am not being agile as usual but each time she will bring up that topic.

I would tell her that I am fine.

Nothing is wrong with me.

When I told my mum about my pregnancy and the state I am in now with my child she was so disappointed joining the fact 👌 that my boyfriend denied my pregnancy. But you know that mothers ❤️ heart, she said we would tell my father to know his stand so I agreed and telling my father he rouse up in anger and this are his words:

"I am so disappointed in you, so after everything that your mum and I has taught you about sexual act out side marriage, you still choosed to bring shame to my family.

You know that I am a minister of God And i own a church but you want the church to think that I don't train my children well right, from today I don't want to see you again in my house leave my house you are not my daughter.

My mum tried to apologise to my Dad to pardon me and temper Justice with mercy but he was furious and he refused.

I am giving you 24 hours to park your things and leave my 🏠 house and I don't care where you go to, if you like go and meet your boyfriend and stay with him I don't mind.

My mum was already crying rolling on the floor begging my Dad to let me stay but he refused and told me to leave. In anger he even told my mum that if she talks to him about me again she would have to go with me.

That Sunday afternoon I was so confused so I called my Church girl friend who I think she can help me at least she is living alone. and when I explained everything to her, she asked me to abort the baby.

I told her that I won't abort my baby that I will carry it that she should please let me stay with her for the main time and I have to drop out of school to get a work and cater for myself and she agreed and let me in.

I started looking for a job and got a nanny Job after a month and two weeks but I had to go from home since I was pregnant so I started the Job and I kept working until the last month of my pregnancy and I quit the Job to give birth.

When I gave birth on a Christmas, my bosses only son came back and seeing that I gave birth at a very young age when he came to see me and my baby and at Least know who there nanny is, he started asking me questions about my pregnancy and my child.

To cut story short

He asked to Know more about me and from there we falled in love he convinced his parents that he wants to take me abroad and that I would further my education there they agreed and we went with my child.

 This is 4 years and I have finished my secondary education, got admitted into the university.

This new guy has paid my 👰 bride price and we are set to get married by June but the father of my child showed up from no where and said he wants me back that I cannot marry another man with his child.

The problem now is that I don't know how to tell my new fiance about this new development, and mean while my fiance and his family has made peace between u and my family before we even traveled abroad.

Please advice me, if you are in my shoes what will you do.

I need your candid advise please 🙏🙏.

Me I truly like this second, but I had a child for the first guy.

I would still come back to share the remaining story after I have gotten a better advice on how to handle this situation.

 Tayo and Kola joined a company together a few months after their graduation from university.

  

After a few years of work, their Manager promoted Tayo to a position of Senior Sales Manager, but Kola remained in his entry level Junior Sales Officer position. 

Kola developed a sense of jealousy and disgruntlement, but continued working anyway.

One day Kola felt that he could not work with Tayo anymore. He wrote his resignation letter, but before he submitted it to the Manager, he complained that Management did not value hard working staff, but promoted only the favoured!

The Manager knew that Tayo worked very hard for the years he had spent at the company; even harder than Kola and therefore he deserved the promotion. So in order to help Kola to realize this, the Manager gave him a task.

“Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?”

Kola returned and said, "yes there is someone!"

The Manager asked, "how much per kg?" Kola drove back to town to ask and then returned to inform the Manager; "they are N100.00 per kg!"

The Manager told Kola, "I will give Tayo the same task that I gave you. Please pay close attention to his response!"

So the Manager said to Tayo, in the presence of Kola; “Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?”

Tayo went to find out and on his return he said:

"Manager, there is only one person selling water melons in the whole town. 

The cost is N500.00 each water melon and N300,00 for a half melon. He sells them at N100.00 per kg when sliced. He has in his stock 93 melons, each one weighing about 7kg. 

He has a farm and can supply us with melons for the next 4 months at a rate of 102 melons per day at N350.00 per melon; this includes delivery. 

The melons appear fresh and red with good quality, and they taste better than the ones we sold last year. 

He has his own slicing machine and is willing to slice for us free of charge.

We need to strike a deal with him before 10am tomorrow and we will be sure of beating last year's profits in melons by over N2,300,000.00. 

This will contribute positively to our overall performance as it will add a minimum of 8.78% to our current overall sales target. 

I have put this information down in writing and is available on spreadsheet. Please let me know if you need it as I can send it to you in fifteen minutes."

Kola was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Tayo. He decided not to resign but to learn from Tayo. 

As we move in this second half of the year, let this story help us keep in mind the importance of going an Extra Mile in all our endeavors.

You won't be rewarded for doing what you're meant to do, you only get a salary for that! YOU'RE ONLY ​REWARDED​ FOR GOING AN EXTRA MILE; Performing Beyond Expectations.  

To be Successful in Life, you must be Observant, Proactive and Willing to Do More, Think More, Have a More Holistic Perspective and Go Beyond The Call Of Duty. 

May you be Blessed with a Better Perspective to do Your Best.

The Life ahead Needs This Mentality Of going An Extra mile. #echeekingsimpact
