Transformations that will sound like a lie

But here i am today... Even feeling as if i know more about it than the elders u altered it back then...
God where is ur face... Let me find favour in thy sight and among men
amen

Lordknowz:
... But just try no let 30 meeet you fot your papa house.. Its more finer!

My brother this is true. Even if na for your frnd house try commit your papa house. I was already paying for my PhD degree in my father's house. I stood up and told myself, I will not earn a doctorate degree in my father's house. I left last year January, with just bed in my house, no chair not tv. Three weeks to my 30th bday, I had my viva voce and had my own house. We thank God for everything, not looking down on the struggles of others.

in a twinkle of an eye... things change

The country is really hard and young people are really trying, pushing every button just to live a comfortable life. Don't stop trying even when it seems others have moved on. It's not your fault the country is this hard. Just make your input, lean on God, review your steps and make necessary changes. If one plan fails, try another. Don't put off the fighting spirit. You'll eventually make a big headway.

Exactly bro.. Thank God for life!

I can relate to this topic, I have been so depressed lately that all I can tell myself is I sha can not kill myself, I am trying my best.

A beautiful topic that may motivate a lot of youths and those Oloribuku Mashafaani people have spam the front page like kilode, and the Mu.mu mods are not doing anything.

He feeds the whole family of 8...his 2 siblings for state universities na him they pay their fees and feeding since him papa don retire with 20k being paid to him now as a salary. I first Judge d guy too say after service u con stay for ur papa aouse... Me wey i no Dey my papa house no carry such load. He's not married though he tells me how his present state affect his plans to move forward... But I'm proud of him say he Dey responsible... No be him papa Dey feed am

It's well bro/sis.

I remember the day I clock 30 two years ago. I didnt go out that day, just angry with myself about my journey in life so far, no any reasonable job, no investment to show for it, no kids or wife to lean on, in fact no any tangible achievement. Just a life of misery and the thought of when ll I help myself and others around me but then life has a way of rewarding people who persevere to the end.
Thank God I'm moving gradually.

Thanks ,, nice one

FlyingTOMATOE:
First of, I would like to make a statement, ''time is demanding but self development is more mportant''.
What exactly are your fears? Time demands you hurry up as day and month passes by in unflinching arrogance. But have you take a minute to observe how each year you left behind humbly bow to self development ?

Look at yourself, you are not where you want to be yet but you have moved further past a stage you were years ago.
Look at all those years you were frustrated writing O'level like a Disk jockey every year on repeat, and jamb subsequently, before you were offered a course you never put in for. Look at all the people you have met, lives you have touched and the lessons you have gained. That is self development.

Self development will take you further than getting worked up by the FEAR OF 30 °°°. Thirty isn't a bench mark for failure neither is it a yardstick to measure achievements. If THIRTY meet you for your papa house, fine. If THIRTY meet you for your mama house, fine. If THIRTY meet you at your low income job fine. Just make sure your self development never stops
Work towards self development and ever other thing will fall into place

Can't comprehend.

Sometimes we worry alot about life in general. At thirty I had nothing than a worthless HND certificate, no relationship, no job,squatting with a friend who I became a servant to, but all I did was turn to God and serve him to the best of my knowledge. But at 34, I had my own place, had a good job, married, expecting a baby. So looking back I can't but thank God who is the one who actually plan our lives. In case your case was like mine, never give up on God. Keep hope alive. Your tomorrow is better than today.

I will be thirty next month..
Things only started getting better this past January.
For once I could actually contemplate building castles in the air

Infact it can be terrifying...

ladys want to marry before 30. guys hope to have hammered before 30. MENTALITY

Good story for Nairaland guys , meditate on this and reflect upon it rather than looking for story to bash IPOB or Afonja. Life is good for everyone at the right time.
Whatever will be will be !!

Who cares if you have reached or passed the 30 year mark?
If you care, death is knocking at your door.
If you are like me who don't give a Bleep, you will tell the 30 year mark to shut the Bleep off .

Motivational...

We all have that 30 fear. I remember my girlfriend ( who is now my wife and mother of 2 ) says "you would in few months you will be 30, how are we celebrating"

My heart always miss a beat or two.

Now 40 is what scares me.

30 comes with understanding of life

The situation you described is only suitable for those whose parents and siblings are independent (the parents pay their rent and takes care the rest children if any). However, if you’re the one who pays your parents and siblings rent, and also take care of their living expenses with perhaps your little income you will understand that it will be unwise to rent additional accommodation for yourself when you’ve not achieve any financial stability whether at 20, 30 or 40. People go through a lot, don’t just use your situation to judge others.

This is arguably the best thread for this month... That is if buharist zombie will agree

Guys can easily cope at 30,but for the unmarried ladies at 30,what really goes on in their mind is what I can't really say.

I started living on my own when I was 21. you'll think and work when you have bills to pay and when hungry.

I have not yet clocked 30 but am close, and i have a conviction that at 30, i won't have any regret as to my achievement and how far have come. Except if God has stopped supporting me and i'm sure he won't ...... My covenant will i not break nor ulter the thing that is gone out of my lips. "psalm 89 vs 34"
