He would always end his advice with "my son, always be simple. Simplicity is the best policy."

Avoid bad friends

What is left undone never does itself.

Never soil your reputation in all you do.

from my mum; " your money is your power!"
My mum does not believe that you should be short of money so much that you don't have something on you in case of an emergency. She believes that when you are going out, you should have at least enough on you for food, transport, airtime, and an hospital card. That's why I try my best not to let myself become so broke as to not have at least some substantial amount of money on me.

...The best advice I've received till date didn't come from my parents...

A senior friend I met during service year...

You must trust God like He is all you got and like your life depended on it...

Sometimes when things get tough, I hold these words for dear life

Whatever you won't eat, don't smell it. Mum.

My mum: "don't allow anyone to pull you down with their words, keep your heads up". She is always concern about our self esteem cos we are girls...... Love you mummy.

Passionate, no pursue toto o, when u marry na u go see am run.

Passionate: But mama I no go like to marry o.

Momsy: Raises hand to slap the Holy spirit into me.

Passionate: Runaway like David Rudisha

My son, you see all good things of life doesn't come free, always remember that I do tell you that 'cultism is evil my son', and do not pay your attention to girls they are really dangerous. Make me proud of you among my friends.

U beta dnt kill ur sef because of skool dos d̶̲̥̅̊α† didn't go sef make it in life ur time will surly come.....Ǻn̶̲̥̅̊ԃ behold my people it came.

"small pikin never start market, e say gain wan kill am"..that's my dad words towards us when we r doing something wrong

Keep your hands clean it pays alot.

KNOW EVENT KNOW HISTORY.

my mom said 'son, beware of fellowship sisters o, most of them are wolves in blouses'... Funningly, Na one sis for d felowshp i brot home afta grad o...i don dsobey her (starts cryn)... My dad only told me not to join hands pray for ppl o, coz ogbanje plenty for world(he knws i luv to pray)...bt atleast, i held 10revivals as an undergrad (i don dsobey im too). Brethen, pls pray for me o, a disobedient fella

alexasomba: Before I left for the University my Mom said to me "always remember where you are coming from." sounded ordinary at first until it started influencing my decisions, till this very day based on those words I still think about family especially before making my long term decisions. It's almost as though she programmed my mind.

My Dad used parables a lot and one of them was "you can blame your parents for who you are but you cannot blame them for who you become" His own words rings like a bell in my head, telling me I'm to take responsibility for my own life.

They don't know how much their words impacted me though I'm (secretely) grateful.

Have you been given any good advice by your parent, grandparent, relative or anyone that mattered to you? Kindly share with us.

i realy value my late mum advise.she keeps telling me when she's still alive,that whatsoever my mind tells me to do,that i should do it.if it is good thought.this words gives me moving everyday.

Three words from dad always. Determination. Dedication. Devotion. Must always have these three in my life. When I got older he added Decision.

Don't chase girls but chase what girls want.

Always remember the Son of whom you are. i trust that you wont disappoint.

valmunich: You see this aunty, don't greet her!

do u call dat An advice, u most be joking.....

When asked for money, never SAY NO, if you can't give all, give the proportion you can as you may be the person's last resort - Words of my SweetestMama

The one advice that has made me both successful and responsible was given by my Dad..He told me that "Am EXCUSE is like a bribe , Never give an Excuse and Never take an Excuse ". Throughout my school days and now that am working, I always thrive hard to excel becos I will never give any Excuse for failing, no matter how 'Good' the excuse my sound.

my mom is always about girls
"umu nwanyi bukwa ekwensu"
lmao

my dad only gave a Bleep about your school grades and cond0m

My mother always say ' don't bite more than you can chew and don't start what you know you cannot finish.
Always remember the son of whom you are...

my dad told me this on his sick and dying bed:
“HE WHO BELIEVE IN LEGACY IS ON HIS WAY TO PENURY".
I thank goodness that I received that admonition from him prior to his demise else I would have lost out being who I am today because the issues of inheritance that ensued after his death would have been disastrous for me.
RIP DAD!!! Your son will forever remain grateful.


My MUM often tell me this
"PHYSICAL STRENGTH IS NOTHING WHEN COMPARE WITH MENTAL STRENGTH. BE MENTALLY STRONG MY SON".
Her advice is borne out of the fact that I take delights in beating up my twin sister.
