She go "leave and don't look back" like 100 times before she realizes and stay with one, instead of jumping from one cheat to another, she go wish.
Juliearth:



If he cheats once, leave and dont look back. They don't change. Same can be applied to women too

Strange mentality

You don't want ability.

Using ebuka as example with statements like even if he finishes his father wealth, he can leech off his wife's parents wealth.

That is the mentality of someone who hate ability and wants soft landing.

You only want to benefit from other people sweat. Parasite mentality. Most wealthy people will be scared to give their daughter to you because you can destroy what they built
Yes oh...I want to finish someone's wealth....I can imagine living off another person's sweat and wealth....without having to worry about anything grin cheesy

One? How about I give you seven?

1. I regret not being consistent.

2. Not facing my discomfort avoidance early. That thief has robbed me blind—time, growth, grit, relationships.

3. Not mastering software engineering in my early twenties. I like to bite more than I can chew. Too many interests, Jack of all fvckin trades... Shoudav picked one skill, mastered it like a god, then move the next one.

4. Not paying attention in school. It was a village school, my teachers were awful, and it was easy. But village school or not, I had textbooks. I just didn’t put in my best.

5. Not being ambitious enough. Not building a business after school and the first two jobs. I would have failed, almost certainly but I also would have since learned what I'm learning now. My money game weak when I should’ve been moving mad.

6. Not buying Bitcoin when it was the price of suya.

7. And oh—I missed my japa window. When it was cheap and easy.

we have the same regrets abi mistake

1. Doing business with a pastor or someone very close to you, I won't even advice my enemy to make that mistake.



Nothing on earth would make me do business with any pastor, I don't care who the person is.......All of them are hypocrites.


2. Allowing someone to squat in my house. I won't do that again, not even in my dream......if I wanna help someone the person must not leave in my house. I would rather give the person money to get accommodation somewhere else.

Not leaving Nigeria very early in life. I should have been talking about retiring from anything work or business if I had left Nigeria at say 23 years of age.


Not digging gold when I got married. If I had married the politician daughter they recommended and linked me to, I would have been at least a House of Reps member today. But I felt I didn't want to marry someone whose father would be influencing my marriage, that was a huge mistake. If you see such opportunity as a single young man reading this, please grab it fast, all those rubbish mentality I had then was a huge mistake jareh, their influence will not last forever, at most 10 years.


To all single guys reading, whenever you want to marry, please if you see gold dig it very well. Love is a fallacy, don't marry just because of love or physical beauty or any other nonsense reason like big nyash, sex, etc. The girl's parents and family status matters a lot, if you think you dont need it now, you will need it tomorrow. Look at Ebuka Obi, he dug his gold perfectly by going for Young Shall Grow Motor's owner daughter. Even if Ebuka likes today he can squander all his wealth, his father-in-law's wealth will still keep his children wealthy for life because Young Shall Grow will definitely will a lot of assets to his daughter, Ebuka's wife and even her kids, I will do same for my daughter and her kids.



And to the young graduates still claiming Nigeria will favor me, continue deceiving yourself, your parents said the same thing, all the wealthiest Nigerians you see today once migrated abroad or lived abroad, majority of them, so if you see any opportunity to leave Nigeria, do so fast, the earlier the better for you. Leave fast, work, save, invest back in Nigeria via real estate, hotels, nightclubs, lounges, gym centers, avoid rentage building investment.


Also look for a trusted relative or friend, there is always one or two trusted relative or friend that wont rip you off, work with him or her, leverage on the two locations you know; the developed country you live and Nigeria by buying used things there, load in a container, add some tokunbo cars and send to Nigeria to resell....over time hire or rent or build a warehouse in a good city location, so you will be known for that and you will be sending these used items with container on regular basis and you have carved out a business niche for yourself to keep you busy when you decide to retire back in Nigeria.



You are spot on in all that you have said. Truth is most rich in laws, especially those who are exposed rarely influence their daughters homes when they see that you know what you are doing.

Never date a "broken man". Young lady, you are not a mechanic. If his parents couldn't fix him, what makes you think you could? (Same advise can apply to dating a broken lady too.


If he cheats once, leave and dont look back. They don't change. Same can be applied to women too


Be entangled with an emotionally intelligent man, else you would be frustrated into madness.


Do not form friendship or sisterhood/brotherhood at work. Do your job and go home.

Do well what is worth doing. Our deeds have a way of coming back to us.

Do not befriend people below your intellectual and emotional level, else you would be emptied. And completely drained out.
TOTAL NONSENSE

HND or BSC... What difference does it make in today's Nigeria?
Except you are pursuing a career in Teaching/Lecturing, I tell you sincerely that You didn't make any mistake by going for HND, neither are you correcting any mistake by doing BSC.
The world has changed and even our country has got worse... There are many master degree holders with no meaningful job. There are PHD holders working for people that has no certificate.
I am a graduate with HND, after 13 years without a job, I had to go and learn a trade. Now I got a job through the trade I learned, not with my certificate.
Guess what...
The guy that trained me(crane operator), is an (academic) illiterate. But he has worked for two big companies... Presently, he earn close to 900k a month.

My greatest mistake in life is going to higher institution... Without learning a good trade earlier in life.

Abeg Boss, I want to learn that crane operation too, how can you be of help?
