Due to some circumstances beyond my control I managed to get admission into the university at the age of 25. I will be 29 by september this year and I'm still in 400 level first semester no thanks to constant ASUU strikes and a slow academic calendar coupled with the covid-19 pandemic.

It's likely that I'm going to miss out on service and most of my friends have been advising me to reduce my age. Officially among my friends cum course mates I'm the oldest where as I'm the youngest when it comes to our actual age. They have all reduced their ages, one even had to rewrite weac for that sole purpose.

I initially wanted nature to run its course but they've been hammering on the difference that 33k for a year will make in our lives.
I'm somehow having a hard time making up my mind on what to do now, I started coding recently to develop web apps because I didn't want to go back to my parents house after school so I needed a skill to sustain me when I graduate .

My friends are making it look as if I'm making a mistake by not reducing my age. Please I need your inputs.

I'll advise you to reduce your age cos even our presido is using "football age".

Even if I consider it, I don't know the process involved. My weac and jamb all have my real age, so how do I proceed?

Don't; in a few years time when you're on the brink of greatness. Those same friends will come and blackmail you. You might lose that opportunity because of this action.

If you try it, you will regret it in future. Your real age will still be known.

You don't have to. You sure would be fine with your integrity.

Theres no point doing that cos even for some who didn't reduce their age and finished early, it wasn't a guarantee for them to get a job quickly. It still took them years after school to land a job if that's what your fears are.

God is the only one that makes things happen for everyone.

Its not really about getting a now, its more about going for service and making some savings during the service year.

Hmm... How about challenging God for a miracle by not changing it? I sincerely can't advise you to falsify your age.

Pray to God about it. There's nothing He cannot do.

All the best.

How much do you want to save during service year that worths the intending falsification of age?

Leave the age as it is. Where God is taking you is much higher and has nothing to do with age. Just be consistent with facts.
