chidi2003:

Many people regretted that too.

Yet some will still be stupid and dump to vote them again come 2027

Engaged with Ibadan babe, Calabar babe

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

Baba no regret, dey there dey deceive yourself!!!

TUANKU:
Believing the fallacy that "all men are created equal".

indeed created equal but for varying purposes thus many talents.

Wickedness never was happiness

Knowing how to speak English. I regret it.

2. Nobody really cares about you.
3. Don't try to please anyone but God.
4. As a lady, if your blood group is anything O, like O+, O- do not hesitate to get married early because child bearing might be difficult in your late 20's and thirties. unless you don't really care about kids. Avoid abortion at all cost while you're young!
5. Avoid anything friends!
6. Just because someone is smiling with you doesn't mean that they love you, perhaps if you see what's in their heart, you'll forever avoid them.
7. Don't just assume that connection will come to you. Go out! Meet new people, anything good can come out of it.
8. Don't ever take your security for granted, wherever you live, make sure it's well secured, don't keep your pots of cooked rice or whatever close to your kitchen windows. Even the neighbours aren't to be trusted sometimes.
9. Whenever you call any electrician or anyone to come and fix something in your house, do not be so quick to leave, stay there with them and monitor every thing. Don't give them food, let them work and leave.
10. Never tell people your sources of income or what you earn, not even family .


Let me stop here for now.

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

Believing that Nigeria will get better and hence not leaving when I was in my early twenties but forties.
Our parents lied that sojourn can never be sweeter than home. Not during apc regime. See ajo is sweeter than home.
Second is going for higher degree instead of certifications and training. Adding education level instead of skills.

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.

I have gone through this 3 times,looking for something to fault you, yet I can not find any. This is experience speaking. Still people reading about love from textbook and words of mouth will never understand anything that you wrote up there. Kudos !!!.

ADDENDUM.
The fact is that even with a big mans daughter, if you show to them that you intellectually sound, and you can actually do without their funds, they wouldnt want to control you any longer

avoid masturbation and pornography .Dont even start .
avoid carrying olosho .. dont even start

Mabuggi88:


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.

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.

Jozilinn:
Opportunity to the police force then.

You missed collecting hefty bribes on the highway and inside police station.

You would have been rich by now with dir-ty money.

ufotty2001:
Marrying a religious woman is my biggest regret in life.

You are very brutal.

YemyTemmy:
NEVER EVER EVER FORGIVE A CHEATING GF OR WIFE.....The cheating behaviour can never stop

It can stop you have to find the root cause and not be judgmental about it. Some people cheat because they were enabled and some because there were frustrated. If the person is willing to change you can help .

Allowing a female secondary school girl to crush on you without taking a decisive action. The girl can go to any length to bring you down for your refusal.
Moral lesson: blow it out as soon as you can to avoid the stories that will suppress your voice from being heard.

Do too much for. Invest in a girlfriend. Never ever

Not saving for retirement 20years ago. I should have been a multi millionaire by now.

SamoraWarrior:
Aborting the children I should have had today when I was in the university with my girlfriend then in school, about six abortion... Today I'm close to 50yrs, no wife no kids... My greatest regret😭

Not too late to adopt a child and give the love and care . Help a relative with raising a child .
Hope you can heal , forgive yourself and move on . So every Father’s Day must be like arrows and knives stuck into your back and sides.
Adopt !!

Port8080:
I voted for Buhari!

Haha 😆 you haven’t lived yet !
I would have thought you’d say being born Nigerian.

Trusting too much on friends

afunmmy:

Banking saved me today,without it,I would have been in a mess.

I thank God.

U can still do something better today.

You mean as a male teacher? What happened? How did she frame you up? Were you having intimate conversations with her through chatting? Cuz that’s the only way a female student can frame you up

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

Not japa-ing in my mid-twenties when I had the opportunity. Was believing Nigeria will get better.

Now, the dream looks like an illusion.

It is good to marry early and have children early due to ageing of eggs and other factors in the late 30s, but this has nothing to do with blood group at all.
