Age affect and will affect so many of us. We're really racing against time. The funny thing is you can't even beat time forever. You might beat it today, but in the next couple of years, it's beating you. Hint: live your life in moments and live every moment to the fullest. there's nothing like tomorrow. Today is the tomorrow. Even as a footballer, I've never been screened out for any age screening I've participated in. Though I've seen so many guys get screened out and if you see the way they cry ehhn. One lost a Swedish club deal because of age. He came back depressed and hasn't recovered till today, he's now in school. Even the school sef, ASSU strike don show am shege, before he finish, he fit don clock 32 or so, now which company will employ him? Age will/might kick him hard again. Back to me, i have this baby face and I'm not the bearded kind of person, I hate beards, especially the side beards, I can manage goatee. Lol. Na just my height dey won Bleep me up sometimes, I'm 6.7'' and in football, oyibo/scouts really take height for a grown man in Africa. Even like now, I can go for even under 17 screening and still pass. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

I applied for the Nigerian Navy a few years back, I got screened out due to age. I was 27 then. Was adviced by a few to go back date my age via NIN. No, was my answer, integrity over everything. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

I love these lines of words, "There is a place for Experience in the work place!", "We need to be more accommodating and know that the job is all about right attitude and skills". Kindly check below. I have something special for you......... 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Revolution2022: That's understandable. When you join you start mostly at a lower bank in your cadre and work your way up. Imagine being a Lance Corporal at 45 years, or a Captain at 50? Thats way over the age on rank. So its better they take younger people who will serve for longer and build their careers. 2 Likes |

45 without experience probably. Even at that there are ways to work round this problem. Same goes for graduates remaining unemployed 5+ after graduation. Question is, what is the solution to this problem? I will be hosting a podcast and live session soon on this subject. For those interested, let's get this issue settled once and for all 1 Like 1 Share |
