you write up is quite insightful but applies relatively and i dint see you make a disclaimer about that. i live in an area where guys are quick to vacate thier parents house even when they are clearly not ready for it with emphasis that it is what is expected of a MAN and end up creating more problems for themselves and i see those manage the situation until the time is right so all this internet advice should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Nice post. I support your view except the pursuing of masters. Rather than stay idle or jobless. It's better to engage your mind with academic endeavor. Masters or professional certificate is okay. What you were taught in school cannot make you relevant.

1. Days of little beginnings:

To every individual is unique print pattern. It doesn't matter which of your mates you graduated university with neither does it which of them now works with Total NG, at the end what matters is the integrity of what you do, it will payoff someday! It doesn't matter if you hawk gala on the streets today, the disaster therein is complacency. Be proud of what you do, be hardworking, and always improve on yourself; if you don't believe me, read about the Ghanian teacher who taught computer lessons by drawing them on board.

2. Never settle for less when you are still hustling:

The best time to show who you are is when you are still "in the making". If anyone steps on your foot, let the person know immediately. This is the time you can have your shoulders high up; you know why? The best friend of wealth is humility. Once wealth comes in, the wise ones know a slap from a boy of 12 years should be followed by "thank you sir/ma".

3. Leave parent's house:

Nowadays, the greatest fear of an average Nigerian man is the fear of the unknown; all thanks to the Nigerian economy. Staying under your parent's roof equates complacency and definitely you'd never be ready to throw stones at the fruits the life tree presents. Get out there and marvel you can actually feed yourself, probably even do more.

4. Leave the suburbs:

I do tell my friends this "...save being a farmer or for official reasons, what reason would a 21st century unemployed young man give for living in the villages?" Inspiration comes from seeing what magnificient projects your mates handle in the society. You claim nothing works yet you are enjoying akpu and palmwine in the village? Go out to the city and make yourself relevant. Information is power!

5. Its not always Nigerian Masters after BSc:

This is what I do tell people. Save the fact you currently work for a company and the portfolio of the office you hold supports improvement educational wise, kindly invest the money on a good and lucrative business. Make sure you do your homework well. If my parents had given me money for masters, I'd never dash it out to our poor educational system that adds nothing to the life of an average graduate. Life isn't about competition, many of your mates will rush to do masters even PhD after BSc, be intelligent enough to know what is next.

6. There is no right age for marriage:

Do you have a dream taking your time at the moment? Please invest all your energy in it. Never bow to pressure. It doesn't matter whatever tales have been told to your hearing; yes, they will surely tell you your friend's children will call you brother lagbaja. What matters at the end is the places your children can confidently march into and that which theirs cannot. Do not forget so easily how you wished you were some kids in your elementary school.

At the end if the perks of being married debars your life pursuit, the same people will be the ones to mock you! Be wise!

7. The power of life and death lies in the hand of a woman (not literarily).


It is safer not to marry than do and physically assault your wife. It does nothing but reduces man to nothing. As a young man, never take women seriously and do not kill yourself for a woman, the right woman will actually expend less of your energy and money.

Your number 5 and 6 messed your opinion up. If you think you must earn masters abroad then it may not come. Your point : days of little beginning is contradictory to the 5 and 6. How will advice people to start little and still advice them to despise masters at home? You really try but....

8. A life without Christ Jesus is worthless, meaningless and vain
Be saved today by confessing your sins and acknowledging Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour as great dreams and hard works may bring riches but also add sorrows, but Christ blesses and added no sorrow. I'm honestly a living testimony!!!!!
Repent and have eternal life as the above list CANNOT be complete without this fact!
Go and tell that to billions of people that don't have belief in your religion. So others that are doing something else are going to hell?. Wake up! Your so called Christ is not even celebrated in his hometown, so why disturbing people?

That clause of leaving your parents house isn't always the best.

Sometimes, you need to stay back so you can build up your financial power before you leave home. Most of these guys who leave home aren't doing so because they plan for the future, they just want a free space where they can invite girls over to have stress free S.ex

There is nothing bad if you spend some years working while still in your parents house, saving money for the future only to pack out and start erecting a structure.
Even your friends who packed out will begin to admire you and come to you for guidance.

Saving 600-1.5m/pa on rent for a few years by staying in your parents home for awhile can save you a lot of future financial stress. Drop your pride and plan your life first, its not by rushing out of parents house that you are certified a man.
