Marriage is a scam,women suffer alot in African marriage,marriage is difficult,Africans are hypocrites, DON'T get married esp if you are a woman living in nigeria...if you do,you will be misrable all your life.but since society will not let you be,make sure you are financially stable and don't have more than 2 kids.

Just curious but why ? Marriage scam I mean

Never cut off anyone from your life or burn the bridges of friendship even if they have done You wrong in the past.

A guy who stole my money amounting to 700k,after some years helped me to get a high paying job in an international oil and gas company.

Another friend who I borrowed some money and refused to pay, he later helped in linking me up with a good business deal.

So in life you learn from past mistakes but still maintain contact.

Life has also taught me not to envy anyone I see in the day because I don't know what they do at night.

Never to put my money in a ponzi scheme.
Never to depend on anyone
To bet for fun and not to see betting as a means to an end
To be as humble as d sand
To love me myself and I
To never forget or forsake family.

And lastly, to only keep few friends who knows the true meaning of who a friend is.

* every dog has his own day

*always remember where you are coming from.

*it is not about what happens to you, the way you handle situations is what really matters

* the sky is big enough for us.

*humility costs nothing but it definately open doors for you.

*never make conclusions in a haste.

*spoken words are like broken eggs, listen more and talk less.

*the possibilities in the world is limitless, so never stop believing in yourself.

I have finally learnt that I am alone in this world.

Every body ,both family and friends ,have showed me that I am alone.

My aim is to try to stay alive,and healthy,and as well, make it( by the grace of God) ,so that family and friends would recognize me again

Children are the ultimate gifts of life.

Every good mom is a description of God.

Intentional fatherhood is the most fullfilling job.

Sow good deeds reap good deeds, sow bad deeds reap bad deeds.

That:

I never have to givvva damn, while others over-dose on their own insecurities!
10 years on NL!
It has worked on and off line! kiss

Let Them Say! grin
Learnt that from my extremely STRONG mom!


Love you mommy! Always. kiss

10 years on NL as well. Its been an amazing journey. Life has taught me to:

1. Focus on myself and not get carried away by others successes. Eccl. 3 tells us there there will be varying times and seasons in life.

2. Learn to persevere.
You don't want to get older and be filled with regrets as to how a little perseverance would have changed the future.

3. Invest in myself. It's good to chase money but not at the expense of your passion.

4. Learn from elderly people. Good for me that I work with people much older than I am. They share their life experiences and this influences my life decisions to a major extent.

5. Not be afraid to fail. Failure is simply a way not to do something. It builds your character going forward.

6. Manage time: we can't predict our lifespan, the more time we spend doing things not in alignment with our dreams and goals, kills our time, which in turn takes away a valuable part of our lifespan that we can't recover. Having that sense of urgency about life would only help manage time properly.

7. Always trust in God even in my faithlessness and sinfulness.

People may mean well giving you advice, but it may lead you astray.
The fact that a respected elderly man tries to direct you doesn't compel you to obey. Own your life.
Clean... to the point

Short and simple but hard fact. I learned this when my wife won US Visa Lottery 2013, last edition for Nigerians.
Since then, I understood that no one owed me anything.

Handwork pays big time.
Your ability to persevere in life determines how successful you will be i.e there is no success without any trace of failure. Failure isn't the end of the world.
Shit happens : life is not fair however u r d only one who fan turn things around yourself.
