Buying a car that was more expensive than all my assets at the time

Not speaking out when I was accused.

ItisWell22:
People pleasing, rather than God pleasing. 😢😥

This is so me, the shit irritate me sometimes I will decide I'm not gonna do this anymore, check me next day, I'm unto it again!!

pimplucious:
Going to Uk for my masters

How pls?
What is your experience pls?
Where are you presently bro still in UK or back home ?
Pls let's learn from your experience.

Axis313:
Na trust.
Some people I took as good friends and confidants really do me strong thing.
Omo,I no fit trust anybody in this life again,no matter who you are.

I can relate

nickxtra:
A 2 nights quickies with a family female friend which resulted me being infected with a stubborn STD that am still battling with now. As if she knew what she did to me, she has not stepped her feet to our since then. I have not got close to my wife since for fear of infecting her.

...the infection normally scratches me around my private with offensive odour. I will appreciate any medication advice

have you gone to the hospital

franchasng:
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.

Very frank truth which may be difficult to comprehend if the reader is less than 50 years. When you are young you think the opportunities will always be there. As one gets older you realize that the opportunities get thinner. This life, the more you look the less you see. Only extremely few people have genuine love for you. So when you marry, open your eyes very well!!!!

Getting married immediately I finished NYSC. I should have waited and work and lived a single life for sometime.
Now, no time to be single again. But anyways, I 'm glad and grateful

Why pls?

I thought coming back to Nigeria to do business and retire is the final goal of every Nigerian that went abroad to hustle!

Oblongata:
When you JAPA, don’t come back to Nigeria because you have made small money or thinking you will do a business or invest etc…

It took me a decade to correct this mistake 😔

Going to Uk for my masters [/quote]

Why? That's what I'm planning to do now

Many people with HND are doing well. Atleast the ones i have seen are flourishing. Maybe you were the problem!

Mabuggi88:
1. Nigerians: Allowing APC deceive them with Buhari twice and now Tinubu.

2. Me: Going for HND instead of an outright B.Sc, you will suffer tire, can't advice anyone for that. Thank God I corrected mine by going for a B.Sc despite my age then.

That I can marry anybody...
Guys! You can't just marry anybody. You have to do due diligence..
Marrying just anybody can have consequences.
Don't learn the hard way.
Marriage is different from Boyfriend and Girlfriend.

Lol.

You are joking right!

Generally in the world, most men senior their wives with plenty years. Some even with 20yrs. Its natural!

benydy:
Marrying out of pity and also marrying a man older than me with ten years

Concerning the age-mate, i will instead marry a very young girl. You will see the benefits at the ending!

jojo1415:
Advising my guys to vote for Apc and buhari in 2015, not marrying an only wealthy daughter I met because she was my age mate and has a kind of k-leg

drehdinho:
If you’re ever going to take life decision, please always stick with and to your gut.

Anybody crying regrets, have at one point or the other been guided rightfully by their guts.

You do sleep everyday at 8pm?

koladata:
I was thinking through my life for like 5 minutes before i made that comment. I do not have any regret o. I'm not wealthy but i'm okay with the little I have; I'm experiencing life has it comes either good or bad. Each time I have opportunity to check my BP they always say its very very okay because no matter how big the problems are , i will sleep off once it is 8pm and i wake as early as 2am to start my day. I'm in my 30s and I believe we are here to experience life not to frustrate ourself. I've heard opportunity to visit a few countries, if i spend 4 months outside Nigeria , i'm already bored and would do anything to come back home. I believe even if you amount all the wealth , you will not eat food that exceed the size of your stomach and if you sleep on a bed bigger than 6 by 6 it might get unconfortable

verminnel:
Failing to realise early enough that even fools grow old. Thus not all words from an elder are wise words.

You are right. But that doesn’t stop you from respecting them. Wisdom is not directly related to age.
Whether they are wise or not, curtesy and culture demands that you respect them.
It is only a foolish person that disrespects elders.

Akano5:
My parents not believing in Christ sooner to help us (their children spiritually).

Now I'm fighting endlessly to have a breakthrough.

What do they believe in before?
This thread is so great.

Never trust women and don't ever help them out in the exam hall.

Is not about the sex. She can even love sex more than you.

But the problem with those kinds is, they are not productive. Always relying on some invisible spirits that does not exist to help dem!
You as the man will be drained, because you will be doing too much advising and guidance because those religious women cant think with their brains!

rickleye:


No sex Abi !!!

If Tinubu, Gbajabiamila, or Dapo Abiodun, took this advice they'd still be in jail in US, instead they are currently president, chief of staff, and governor, respectively😆

I wasnt speaking in that context

Why back at it? Guy, you nor try at all. After 3yrs you still went back to it!

Miciuk23:
I stopped cigarettes and weed for 3 years now am back at it

He who has not yet made a mistake has not yet made anything.

Too much analysis leads to paralysis.

Oluwatosin6060:
I regret returning home after my nysc

tell us more

Sirchiboy:
Name one mistake you have made in life so someone else doesn’t do it.

Do not let people decision about you be of your concern, they only judge book by its cover

I was stupidly in love with my ex 2 d extent that I forgave her thrice 4 cheating , never forgive a cheating gf, secondly I never learnt any handwork after my sec school and doing my NYSC, now I am stuck with 9-5 stipend job
