At the the age of 20 what should a young man supposed to have achieved. If you have any advice or life experience to share to the young minds please do.

Realistically speaking in today's world, should at least have three different sets of skills. It doesn't matter if it's programming, upholstery, multiple languages, music instrumentalist, driving etc

Any other thing (child, house, car, marriage, degree) na jara.

Every man has his time, some make it in their 30's, 40s or even 50s. So don't get yourself worked up over what a man is supposed to have achieved in his 20s.

Only create goals and strive to achieve them little by little. In your time you'll shine if you're willing to persist.

It's an achievement for a 20yo ... Priority of a 20yo in 21st century challenges should never be sex ... u wanna set your future right and avoid distractions .... Good CGPA, soft and hard skills etc should be the priority... How not to fall and defeat 21st century and her global problems...

Also, sex ain't right unless with the right person in a controlled relationship e.g. marriage grin

What are the benefits of ur good cgpa in ur present life?

I don't know why I mention you again grin but I did that one time when I bashed ladies and Nigeria youth.
In my early days I was so ambitious , me and my friend we learnt a lot of stuff. I design amplifiers , radio rechargeable torch light.
One of my friend was working on FM transmitter then. My dad noticed I was going into designing of inverters and solar installations. He frustrated my attempt believing if I start seeing money then I won't complete my university education.
We save all of our feeding money and go to Alaba to buy electronics and after designing one or two project the whole thing explode and we start another savings.
I really suffered and had no phone yet struggled to browse with peoples phone to copy Circiut online.
I thought me and my friends would own tech companies by now grin .
The goals we set for ourselves before we get to 18 years, my friend reminded me years later when we crossed 18 and I just laugh!
Now I inderstand my country better. I was foolishly studying when I should be flexing. I still study a lot of things till now but I give room for flexing and flirting now cool

Tollyboy5 for once thought you wanted to bash me grin grin grin

Come and flex , please

Arrrrrrrh


My personal opinion then was,
At the age of 2O, a man who has plans to be a better person in life is to;
1. Be devoted with your religion, you can't exempt God from the equation of life.
2. At 19 i was through with my National diploma in computer with good grades.
3. Have a certificate in computer training.
4. Aiming for the next level, University! ( chasing your goals in life, be determine to make life meaningful)
5. Learn a profession, to add, like tailoring.
6. Read books.
7. Avoid ladies, to focus, I do not say hate them in real terms avoid relationship call love. Being friends with them is quite cool and be wise. And also avoid unnecessary friends.
8. To grow spiritually listen to message to boost your spirit man.
9. Have a nice sense of dress.
1O. Be a man of integrity and value!

My own thoughts then, and I am still following this guide to hit that bigger archivement in life, well the ball is in your court.

gud points you also need to learn one or two hand work or skills

I agree seriously with your first paragraph, not as much with the second one.

Either way we go still make am.
