You were so lucky to be able to hold one of life's most incredible creatures! You should invest in a Hummingbird feeder, they provide a lot of entertainment, and the little marvel gets nutrition! Below is a Youtube video that I found last year, and I love watching it every now and then. The happy look on the elderly Man's face is awesome as he feeds and talks to his little friend. I hope you like it too...

Need Help
by ThisFellowCheap ini'm in dire need of assitance, and i have decided to humbly come here.... first, let me reintroduce myself.
my name is kolabomi, a nigerian and a proud one too.
i am a graduate student in one of my country's leading university.

Hello kolabomi! I remember conversing with you a couple of years ago when you first started posting here. I really enjoyed how you told me about the area that you lived in. I'm sorry that you are going through some difficult times right now, and I hope that things start looking up for you soon.
I read some of the poetry that you have on the internet. I especially enjoyed "Goodbye, Farwell" and "When a loved one dies". You have a lot of talent!
Is there anyway that you can talk to the administrators at your school and explain to them your situation? Maybe they have a program that allows students to rent or borrow a computer? Maybe they can allow monthly or weekly payments so that you do not have to come up with the full amount of tuition and acceptance fees all at once.
You appear to be a very intelligent person. Maybe if you think "Outside of the box", you will find some creative ways to legally come up with some quick money. Are there any flea markets/boot sales in your area? Maybe you can get together anything that you don't need or use and try to sell them. Or, if you have any artistic talents, you can make things to sell. If you are handy with tools, you can place an ad on Craigslist or a local paper as a handyman. If you have a vehicle, maybe you can do errands for people, or take them to places that they need to go. If you are good with children, you could babysit.
As you mentioned in your OP, there are a lot of scammers in your country. Whenever people hear the word Nigeria, many people automatically stereotype and assume the worst of others. I feel bad for the people who are truly honest that live there and just need a helping hand and can't get one due to those who take advantage of others.
I wish that I could do something to help you, but we just barely eke by ourselves, especially due to significant health issues.
I know it's not much, but I can offer you a hug, and some positive thoughts that your situation changes for the better very soon.
I wish you the best, and I also hope that your JW family comes around one day to the truth about the truth and stops shunning you!

JW's hit with another lawsuit alleging child sexual abuse

Thank you for the info about the cases in Oregon.
It seems like the Watchtower is in the news on an almost daily basis when it comes to child abuse. There are another 6 child molestation lawsuits just in the last month in Dallas, TX too, with the victims seeking at least a million dollars each in damages. Below is the link to an article about it.
No wonder the WT is constantly begging for money.

On Thursday, Dallas-based Turley Law Firm filed a civil lawsuit against the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York Inc. (WBTS) – one of the legal corporations that presides over the Jehovah’s Witness faith in the U.S. – stemming from allegations of appointed members of the organization sexually exploiting and abusing children in Metroplex congregations in Plano, Dallas and Greenville.
The local congregations are also defendants in the lawsuit, as well as Reginald Jackson and an unknown individual - elders who were directly appointed by the WBTS to oversee congregations in the area’s regional circuit.
“[WBTS is] the top of the chain of command; they oversee and are involved in the decision-making ... daily function – everything has to be approved,” said Steven Schulte, a lawyer with the Turley Law Firm. “They are intimately involved ... have absolute authority over the congregation and had every reason to know [of the abuse].”
Officials at WBTS did not return calls for comment.
According to the lawsuit, six individuals from the Dallas, Plano and Greenville congregations were sexually, physically and emotionally abused in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when they were between the ages of 4 and 14. The plaintiffs in the case are unnamed due to the nature of the allegations.
The six plaintiffs in the case did not report the alleged abuse while it was occurring because they and their families were threatened by Jackson and the other individual with discipline and harm if they spoke to anyone about the acts, the lawsuit states. Within the Jehovah’s Witness faith, members are told to handle issues within the organization. However, the organization’s policy requires leaders to hold internal investigations of claims of abuse and wrongdoing.
“[Jackson] was directly appointed to that position, which is a leadership position in the organization. ... There would have been a circuit overseer who would have oversaw ... and would have reported,” Schulte said. “At some point you reach a point where it’s your time to come forward.”
Schulte said the male plaintiff was likely a member of the Kingdom Hall Jehovah’s Witnesses of Plano. However, it is likely that the alleged abuse occurred at multiple locations since he “regularly took them on trips and other religious outings.”
In addition to sexual exploitation and abuse, the lawsuit claims that the defendants were involved in negligence and various forms of fraud stemming from allegations that congregation leaders misrepresented themselves as people of trust and that the WBTS should have been responsible for oversight since its “authority flows down from it to the local levels.”
Each of the six plaintiffs in the case are seeking about $1 million in damages for the alleged lasting psychological and emotional damages that the abuse has caused in their lives since the instances described in the lawsuit took place. The suit says they are also seeking punitive and exemplary damages in hopes that it will deter future acts from occurring.
“Sex abuse victims oftentimes suffer lifelong pain and drama,” Schulte said.
And here's a youtube video of the case in Texas...

For those interested in the TRUTH of the matter....
Hobby Lobby has been and will continue to provide and pay for 16 out of 20 contraceptive choices available. They only have a problem with 4 out of the 20 due to their religious convictions.
http://www.becketfund.org/hobbylobby/
"The Green family has no moral objection to the use of 16 of 20 preventive contraceptives required in the mandate, and Hobby Lobby will continue its longstanding practice of covering these preventive contraceptives for its employees. However, the Green family cannot provide or pay for four potentially life-threatening drugs and devices. These drugs include Plan B and Ella, the so-called morning-after pill and the week-after pill. Covering these drugs and devices would violate their deeply held religious belief that life begins at the moment of conception, when an egg is fertilized."
