Are you getting close to the golden number
30 on the face of the earth? There are certain
things mother nature expects that you should
have done before you reach that milestone.
It is our belief that a lot of the male folk
always seem to limit themselves to certain
activities but I bring an array of things we
expect all males to have participated in or
gone out of their way to do. This is made
more true because once you’re 30, there are
added responsibilities heaped on your
shoulders and as such you might not have
as much time to indulge in activities
considered frivolous.
For this reason I present a checklist of
things I think you should have done before
you’re 30.

Give up your seat
Well, this is very important especially in the
formative years of a man. You have to have
given up your seat on a crowded bus to an
elderly person, lady or pregnant woman.
Nothing defines or makes a man more than
good manners. Giving up your seat even
when not comfortable for you helps build
your compassion and resilience for the
battles you’d face in the years to come.


Go on a road trip
It is important to take at least one road trip
before you’re 30. Get out of your immediate
environment and comfort zone and see other
parts of the country. The destination could be
anywhere you’re not familiar with and just
follow where mother nature leads you to.
Where you will stay might not be pre-
booked, just go with your intuition.


Learn how to drive
Most males are able to conquer this
challenge but nonetheless it is important to
be able to master the art of driving before
you’re 30.


Score the winner in a sport game
It is expected that before you’re 30, you
would have participated in one sporting
event or the other. What is more important
for you to have achieved is to be the decider
in one of these events. This could be taking
the winning shot in a basketball game or
scoring the deciding goal in a penalty
shootout out. It will be an event you can
always refer to when discussing with your
friends in years to come and one you can
look back on and be proud of yourself for.


Know how to dance and dance with a
stranger
For the geeky and the shy ones, it is
pertinent for them to learn how to dance
even if it is to make few signature moves
that can get them applauded. The few
dancing moves you’ve learnt doesn’t matter
in as much as you’ve taken it a notch higher
by dancing with a stranger. This can be at a
club or while you take a road trip to an
unfamiliar place, the most important thing is
dance with someone you’re not acquainted
with. This will come in handy as you get
older and you find yourself in unavoidable
“dance situations”.


Try out singing and Rapping
Well, if you passed through the teenage and
youthful years and you’re yet to try out
singing and rapping, then you sure must add
it to your to do list. Years from now when
your kids are all grown, you can tell them
how you were a member of a rap group or
band that didn’t really do well.


Make your own cocktail
You should most definitely have done the
youthful cocktail mix irrespective of how the
mix tastes. It will be something to brag about
in the years to come.

Catch, kill and cook a meal
If you ever went through university or
college in this clime and you never
participated in catching; killing and cooking a
domestic animal and you’re not yet thirty,
you’ve got limited time to try out this
adventure. There is definitely something
enthralling about this adventure especially
when you add taking crops directly from the
earth. Try it out before you’re thirty.

Start your own business
Be it a little selling business on the side or a
business of yours where you work full time,
it is important that you start your own
business before you are 30. All the men on
Forbes such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg,
Aliko Dangote all started from humble
beginnings. And who knows, you just might
be the next.

Learn how to swim
This might not be so important to some but if
you don’t know how to swim yet, it is better
you learn how to do so before you’re 30. And
when you’ve mastered it you can take a high
dive into a pool just to show off.

From nursery primary to secondary tertiary, if u hav never fooled a teacher...Haha. Dont mind me o!


Well on a serious note, I did all those thins far back. Am particularly reminiscent of a winning goal I scored in a ramat cup quater final decider in the fct. I was my team's skipper(capt). The game was a keenly contested duel and the crowd was marveled as usual by my dribbling runs, spectacular spot kicks, and large-heart maintenance of various positions in the field as done by real and gifted midfielers.The crowd, an array of diehard followers, moderates and all, couldn't hold thier cool when ever the ball was at my feet. Many came from my state, my former schs, relations and freinds. When befor d game began, I saw julien, my long lost undeclared teen friend and Sir pat, my old uncle who himself was a baller but age had now made to only kick the wind in the spectotor' stand waving softly in d crowd, I thought I felt something in my eyes - they where tears. In the 85th minute, the cross from the right flank came unannounced. The ball spiralled in a crescent thro the air and was comfortably cushioned on my chest upon the challenge by two defenders. I shielded the ball to the ground. The closest defender swung his left leg but the ball was well guarded by both my legs while I made a body-run. It was a spectacular move that saw me dribble pass the two defenders and take a far side shot that went past the goalie into the back of the net...
Needles to say more abt the ensueing melee and vociferous ecstasy. I saw men and women tearing their garments; I saw people crying. Many hugged me and cry still when the match was over. I was humbled by that feat tho the feeling of a saviour and the sense of love and service overwhelmed me...my life was never to be the same again.
Those tears I felt that day i still feel them today and anyday I reminisce on that moment.
