The bottom line is for you to serve God genuinely and make money when you're young and energetic.

That's not the true bottlomline. The real bottlomline is to make money only. Serving God doesn't matter.

I work where I come across old people....
Mehn I don't want to grow old....

It's another measure of suffering....
As long as I fulfill purpose and attain destiny....

I am okay

Don't curse yourself
Trump is 79 June 14. President Biya has announced he's running again at 92. So it depends on HOW you get old

Old age comes with a lot of problems and living with old people is really difficult. Dementia, Alzheimer disease, all kinds of sickness, slowness. Old people are also very troublesome especially to their caregivers. I'm currently dealing with one and it's not easy at all. That's why I wonder how all these Nigerians that are doing care giver work in UK cope? Living with an old person is like having a child. The difference is children grow up and become independent meanwhile, old people get older and become more dependent so you are never free. Old age plus sickness is the worst.
The troublesome own is the worse part of it... Only children or grandchildren can take care of their old ones because they're used to them... Anything external caregiver, na headache

Who told you, you’d be lonely at old age when you have money?

When you're from a disadvantaged background, of course you'll see money as everything... But once you have it, you'll then realise that it's nothing, it can never buy you happiness.

You don't know what's happening to that person behind closed doors.
Exactly what my boss told me during my IT period in the Uni. I will never forget that message.

Not all old people are suffering. What one should be praying for is been financially comfortable at old age, and you can only get that from young age. Many rich old people today have been rich from young age, and they multiplied what they earn from that time on. May God help us all, because it’s one thing to be old, I’d another to be old and poor.

They have polluted your brain with pray for money

Your reasoning no money

Many rich old people are rich from young age - nonsense fallacy



Which church you dey go self

Go and ask ibb

Just get money,old age will be fun, people will keep u company, clean ur room wash ur clothes,bring up funny stories for u to laugh for free without even asking,just because u gave them money before,or they are expecting something from u or ur rich son somewhere abroad

Lolzzzzz 🤣

You don't want grow old, you know the option and agree with it

A yoruba adage says, you want to live long and you don't want your eyes to see shit, na one you go choose.

keep counting the privilege once, life as an old person is dicey especially if no financially buoyant

It is not the age you worried about, it is the condition surrounding the age.

What people dont realize about old age is that it is supposed to be the best time to live life without distractions.

Enjoy life.

I know of an old woman close to 80 or so, she is fresh and lives healthy, her children are all big men and women. If that lady orders for chicken from austrailia they send to her immediately, i am talking of children working in abroad, mtn and major conglomerates in nigeria. There used to be a driver and car but these days she takes strolls around more.

The woman is well and jealously looked after.

Tell me how that kai woman nor go wake up and want to see the next day.

Pray against bad health choices, financial discomforts and things that will threaten your peace And see your old age as a new age.


Me, I am pwrsonally looking forward to growing 80-90+ I have to disturb my kids too. grin grin feel loved and cared for.

My father will say, there are only two times in a mans life where he is to be loved the most. When he is born and when he is old.

This south African Lady 🧐🧐😠😠😠.... You right Sha.... Met couple of aged persons who are well off both in Nigeria and in Switzerland.... Omooo they are seriously lonely, the estate I reside in Nigeria are made up of wealthy individuals... Was friends with 2 different couples and they always wish their kids were around... Cuz they are married, schooling and working abroad.... That's when I started appreciating life more and started spending more time with my wife and kids.

You are wrong. Pray to have good health. There are people with so much money at old age, with dementia and bad health. They don't even their children.

Are you also a wealthy individual?🤭🤭🤭

All of our people on that picture are not really old.While aging is inevitable, preventing or even reversing it is within our control.Solution: Do squats,push ups ,pull ups,dead hangs,dead lift ,box jumps etc.Grip strengths has been shown to increase longevity, do it regularly.Walk everyday.Run/jog two to three times per week. running events like short or long distance races as this would motivate you more.A body in motion,stays in motion.

To those of you talking of money, money, you don't have to be a millionaire or rich to have a healthy aging.Most of those exercises can be performed at home.If it was all but money that equates to living longer, our people living abroad would have been living longer and healthier as well but studies show they are often overweight and die prematurely.

Exercise has proven to be the single most powerful intervention available for longevity.No other biomarker beats it.Until then,Nigeria would remain a country of the least lived humans.

Old age is brutal to the poor.. It's a judgment of your youth
chris51(f): 4:22pm On May 28
The most important thing at old age is good health. Plenty of money without good is useless. Some don't recognize their children or aware of their surroundings.
Good health, loving family and small money are all you need to enjoy old age.

Stop wailing and weeping over other people's choices and preferences. E no dey tire una?

Why bother us with their pictures of suffering and expecting to gain sympathy? You are the one wailing over my post anyways. I said what I said and I am not apologetic about it.

Old age is another thing I fear so much….

I have begged God 70 years old is perfect for me…

70 is still young.Denmark recently signed her retirement age to 70 years because people were living longer.Many countries would follow suit eventually.
The recent London Marathon had 29 persons of 80 years and older that participated.There is nothing to fear.How we age is within our control and this is not necessarily about how rich one is.Exercise is the elixir of life.The less we move,the quicker we age.Personally,l see myself aging to a 100 and that's not by wishing or praying but by putting the work required.
