On a hot afternoon,The sun was sending its rays,as though after that day,it stops punishing us with its heats. It was the day I lost my phone to the hands of thieves. I have been crying since the incidence . It was like the end of the world for me,my grief knew no bound,that i could scarcely move. But fortunately , someone called my sister with the number that some unidentified criminals have been caught and my phone was among the stolen items that i should come and retrieve it and have been grateful to that person.

Hello @prettyjules158 thanks for your contest. Here is my entry

I have a very close friend of mine named Dora. During my secondary school days, things were had for her and due to the fact that her family were poor, she stopped school and we were about writing External exams (WAEC). She couldn't write the exams, because there wasn't money. This touched me so much. She do come to class with torn uniform, no money to buy a new uniform. So I came to her aid and used 50% of my savings to pay for both her exam fee and other needs. I really felt for her deeply...

Thanks is a maximum of 100.

There is still time for everyone to make adjustment on their post.

Do i still need to make adjustment on my post/comment ma'am...??

Yes can, there is still time.

I Think those that have more than 100 words as their entry should have been disqualified already. Bacause they dont follow the simple rule of the contest.

@lastdon02 please is my contest i can decide to pardon them, instead of disqualification i have decide for them to make adjustment, they still have time to do so.
I don't want to be unfair to anyone, so please let this issue be forgotten.
Thanks.

You dont just come here and say what u like...Its a contest and i just asked if my comment needs adjustment...U dnt hv rite to say ill to contestors that already applied simply because you noticed some comment didnt reach up to 100 words or more than ...Please be guided

Do I add or delete some comments ma'am?

Just make it 100 words,any how anyone can do it.

OK ma'am done plz help cross-check... I didn't know it's more than 100 words becos I really wanted to express myself.

I can't do that for you @vickyrich, cross check by your self.
I don't want to be unfair to anyone.

Thats a good charity work from you, be rest assured that God doesn't delay in honouring those do charity work.

Man may God help your hand that blessed... It's a touchy story.

Thanks to @prettyjules15 for organising this contest and given back to the society. Below is my entry:

I had a friend named Joshua, throughout our undergraduate days he used to be a source of blessing to me and always support me finacially anytime I don't have anything to feed because he always received huge amount as pocket money while I just received stipends from home.
Recently, he was posted to Ekiti state as a corps member and unfortunately for him, he finds it add to settle down. So I help3d him financially with the little money i earn from steemit. My help really touched him that he is willingly to join steemit to start blogging

Thank you for your entry

Hello @prettyjules158 thanks for this wonderful contest. Here is my entry,

When i got to shcool this semester I Introduce my hostel members to steemit but they didnt not belive that this platform actually works so they asked me to withdraw some amount of money so that they will belive that this platform really works. So i made a withdrawal of 8sbd which 240 Ghana cedis and shared it to them. So by doing this they all signed up and got themselves on this platfrom.

This is one of the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me on steemit, my friend, my elder brother my lecturer, my mentor, @eturnerx. On a faithful day I was just trying to make new form friends on steemit and needed someone to talk to about the secret on steemit, I tried messaging as much as I can in a pleasant way just to catch some attention, non actually reply me, all where busy with their routine but this special one took sec of his time and talk to me. I couldn't stop talking with you, asking him questions beyond my level, he will lecture me tell me it's not a magic that is a gradual process I almost lost hope but he didn't give up on me and I decided to follow all his advice like a magic I started seeing attention from people relating with people, I was using a phone so small and it always give me headaches using it with the slow nature of it. I complained to him telling him I trusted him that I wanted to send 10sbd for him to convert to his currency and get a better phone for me he told me I should give him time that he will do it for me. I was like its just a way for him to say go get it yourself I didn't ask him for says and he gave me assignment and I remember him I was not having a better phone after so much he have done before, he surprised me and send hug amount of money to me before the my morning I only woke up to see alert and his messages telling me he has done it. I was so happy, I thought of what to use my little phone for but a friend of mine. A friend of mine doesn't have a phone for calling or for steemit I gave him the little phone he was really happy and I remember the special one he just spread love and smiles to nations. And I will keep making people happy thanks for this opportunity to share this once more. Steemit is a family that have you in heart and want you to grow higher. I love you all

Thank you for your entry

Thanks @prettyjules158 for creating the contest. Here is my entry.

My story goes thus, some years back while I was at the University. I think I was in 300 level or so. I went to Ibadan for a family function; Ibadan is actually my hometown and schooling is Ile-Ife helped me visit my extended family which was a good thing for me.

Back to my story, on that faithful day, I left my house at Ife at about 11 a.m to Ibadan. I arrived Ibadan approximately an hour later. I had a wonderful time with friends and family alike.

Somehow, I forgot that time was far spent and I had to return to Ife that day because I had a 7 a.m test the following day and the lecturer involved was not someone to be joked with.

Well, i arrived Iwo road at some minutes past 8p.m with my phone almost dead. Fortunately for me, I joined the last bus available. On the bus of eighteen passengers, we were just two guys (the other guy also happened to be a student of my school) while the other people were women and children.

Just after we crossed the Ibadan toll gate, the bus began to show signs that it wasn't going to take us far. The bad news was my phone was dead so there was no way I was going to tell my parents or friends back at school that I was goimg to be late. It was also raining.

As the vehicle finally came to a stop in a very lonely area, I said to myself these women cannot be left here alone with their children. So I decided to stay back and help get vehicles to convey them to their destinations. The other guy disagreed with my plan and left with the first vehicle that came to our aid. His excuse was that the Olode (night guards were not to be disregarded because there was a curfew for 10p.m).

I decided to play Mr nice guy, and that was how I arrived Ife at some minutes to 1 in the morning. The good thing was I helped every one of them get a vehicle which made me feel fulfilled.
The bad news was everybody was already bothered about my whereabouts. As soon as I turned on my phone, texts rushed in and I kept on receiving 'where are you calls' till the following morning

It felt good to sacrifice for others even if it came at huge price. I had to keep those who cared about me in suspense, I also came down with a fever some days later as a result of the cold I was exposed to along with the mercyless mosquitoes that attacked without remorse.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks is a maximum of 100.

Goodluck in the contest bro

Thanks for your entry

The feeling of joy is unexplainable. Good job bro

College. My friend wanted to scare flatmate, so he hides in his wardrobe. Unfortunelly, when flatmate gets back from school, he was not alone, but with a girl. Few minutes later, two youngs doing in bed that what people usually do in bed together when not sleeping and my friend awkwardly standing in wardrobe. After the longest 15 minutes in his life he realised that this two was not going to finish quickly. He sends me sms for help. I had to interrupt, so I just...light up a cigarette at the corridor to pull the smoke alarm.

Guess who was kicked off from school next day.

Lol, I'd like to know, so who?? 😂

me ;_;
but was planning to quit anyway so not a big problem

Lol, funny help, sorry about it tho

That was funny, thank you for your entry.

Thanks for the contest @prettyjules158

Thanks pretty for this contest, here's my entry to the contest.
One thing I discovered I hate very much is seeing anyone suffer, whether emotional, physically or financially.i tend to feel the pains of others deeply and so I can't even count how many times I have helped people, mostly strangers financially and otherwise, seriously I hate to say it.. I don't want people to know I'm kind or something, I prefer to hide and wipe a tear, but let me tell a little for the purpose of this contest, I shuttle between 3 homes, so I'm always on the road, and any bus I enter normally get stopped by women,men or children who don't have money, when the cab or bus stops, u hear them begging, oga Pls carry me to this place I don't have money, or I have 50naira and so on, then the bus driver shouts at them NO, they beg and beg while d driver looks for other passengers undisturbed by the pleas, by this time I am almost in tears, I hate to see another person suffering 😔, they beg with God and man and Allah or whatever they can say, then I call the driver and say let that person in, man, woman or kid, I will pay the fare, they come in thanking the driver and blessing him, and don't really know what happened, and I really love it that way. Thanks

we are here to organize the strong healthy and rich to have enough extra time, money and resources to actually help those who cannot help themselves, but do so using a sustainable business model that crowdfunds and crowdsources all that can possibly be gleaned from the collective labor pool of volunteers who get reimbursed for their time in Upvotes.

We can reorganize humanity so that everyone who needs a job can be creating value for someone with more steempower then them, who is investing in them via delegation or upvote... And they themselves can have people working under them, and so on and so forth...

You will be a millionaire even if you can hold just 1000 teem tokens, for they WIL be wrath $1000 Each

Thank you for your entry.

Kinda heart...
