Not able to push for the career path I wanted at point of gaining admission to uni. Then, also not being sensitive enough to stop the chain of events that led to my sister's death, that's quite painful

Been there bro. Balling in millions monthly and the next thing you know, down to ground zero with absolutely nothing to show for it. When I was balling I was carefree because I felt even if the worst comes to the worst, I could make the money back - until I lost the money and at the same time all the avenues I was looking at suddenly went dry.

You have to simply adjust to your new reality and start from there. Life does go on.
please expatiate this

You are so hard on yourself, commiting suicide would have more cowardice. There is this quote that says something like if you have made so much money and lost it all that means you already know how to make it back, this time it's going to be easier than before"..

However my biggest regret is not studying or making research on Bitcoin/Crypto before investing. I wish I knew about market cycles. Or atleast basic T.A before investing. IT IS WELL
lol

are u telling us that a secondary school lever can't read or write? What we're saying is tertiary education is overhyped, period.
Ok sir, but try and get into the tertiary education and drop out at the level you can differentiate between leaver and lever.

Of course I read the Bible and Quran from start to end, the Bible 3 times. There was no light in my day, and the telly, which was one single channel and started at 4pm, was rather uninteresting having imbibed a lot of more interesting BBC in my early days, so I had to occupy my time somehow and reading the Bible it was. My first reading took 3 years, as I only read it if I had no other books to read. I finished before I was 12.

Please do gatecrash Heidegger and let me know what you make of him, as my difficult is not do much reading (though I can't read because my eyes no more work) but because of my desire to understand and let it influence me as opposed to merely believing whatever he says.

Nawahoooo!! Me am 37yrs am regretting not marrying early up till now but u that is married is regretting marrying.. truly another man blessing is and there man poison
Not everyone sees marriage the same way. To some, it brings the joy of having offsprings, status symbol, & personal family. To others, it's like an entrapment, sacrificing one's bachelorhood & freedom and never ending burden of child/spousal care. It can be very challenging if the man does it all alone.

Bro remember the decision to either be sad or happy lies in you.
You just have to keep pushing.
There are millions of people that you are better than.
Don't write yourself off.
If I tell you my story,
You won't believe it.
I am going to 40, still living with my parents, no job, no child but I keep believing that one day it will be fine.
There is nothing like it will be fine as long as u are still alive.
D only time your problems will be completely over is only when u are dead.
As long as u are still alive, problems in one form or d other will keep Occuring or re-occurring

Club Cubana is the answer. I worked there. If you have ever been there or clubbed there, then you'd understand how making thousands could be easy peasy in one night. I could make as much as 500k on a weekend. Then, I was like LAPO to family and friends. If you met me then to borrow you 1M, it would be readily available.

I was a teenage girl, naive and impressionable. I felt everyone had a good heart — like me. I would always help anyone who came to me having money problems. Anyone. I'd make sure you live la Vida loca as far as you came to me for help and I know you.

I had an admission to study in Finland, and then I got duped of over 5Ms by an agent. Sadly, this person was introduced to me by family. Till now, I don't know her whereabouts. I doled out uncountable monies doing giveaways without plans because I felt it would always be there. Even my parents were no good.

Do you know what it feels like to have over 9M in one minute and be stark broke in another? Sometimes, I sit and stare forlornly and just think I have nothing else to live for. When I tell people I'm depressed, they laugh at me and call me bipolar or make jest of me about being depressed. You don't understand it, mate. Like another Nairalander said, maybe I'm just still very weak and playing cowardice to snuff life out of me. Or maybe, I'm still very undecided. Time will tell.

Mind you, I have things going on for me but I can't forking move on. I hate everyone who I ever was there for. I hate them. I regret every forking thing I ever did for them. 😭. Maybe, I just had too many expectations. Just maybe. But, why should I not? I forking cared for them. Why shouldn't I?

I'm sorry about the epistle.
I'm so sorry about this babe..

I see people making this mistake all the time but I think it’s greed (maybe wrong). if u had done just 2 self contained you will be earning some cash today. But u can still sell it and use the money to invest on something else.

So many regrets in life
But
One taunts me the most.

Selling my car when I wanted to take a long trip, next day trip didn't work out and I was car-less.
To make matters worst, that same car was worth 3x the price six months after the sales angry


Generally I hate loosing ( weak deals).

While not source for a place you can get a good amount of loan at least to complete maybe 3 or 5 apartment and rent it out and dedicate to paying back the loan within a certain period of time...

Don't say you can't.. Please try and look for.
Or you can sell 5 to complete the other 5 for yourself (if you're scared of owning anybody)

I hope the house is in a good location thou
Please think about it.. It's a huge risk but i have seen people doing it.. All the best.

It looks like you are attached to helping people.
My dear, it can harm you.
You don't have business getting attached to helping people.
They will drain you. And no! Not helping people will not take you to hellfire.
There is even no hellfire

One, learn from it and move dafuq on.
Two, allow it to wound you.

Not understanding early enough that the more you live, the more you should take everyday or at worst, every few days as a fresh time slate.


Easier said than done, but when you tell yourself that you are continuously climbing a steep mountain as long as you live, and you need to keep intelligently moving up and up (looking forward) or smartly conserving energy (chilling sometimes); instead of keep looking down (living in past regret). Life is not fair all the time, as little as the ants are, they manage their regrets, sometimes their mistakes can lead them to more suffering or death. Even the lion don't have it good all the time.


Life no get uniform formula, that is why many of us want to believe that God is the formula. Which is a way we subconsciously use to build up faith and hope in order to face what every new minute or day might present or have presented.

Now I'm starting from 0kobo at 33 years old and I unconsciously beg God for a painless death every day because I'm too afraid to do it myself.

Please hang in there. Take it one day at a time:
Life is precious and more valuable than 8.8m. God will strengthen you!

I can't see well enough anymore to read as much as I used to. Optician says it's the result of too much reading with bad light (candles and lantern). Pity, as there's still quite a lot of books I'd love to read and can't find them in audio.

I've posted a link to audio Bible. Download it on to your phone to listen to as you go about and you'd soon get to the end.

same here, 35 going on 36. And it seems the older one gets, the less it becomes to settle for one.

I got married at 34
Prior to my wedding, my now wife is and was my first and most serious relationship.
You do need time to date (@least 4 or more yrs) because you need to know your partner.
Do not look at your age... N sure you go through the process.
Do not be pressured, until I popped the question that night, the night before that night I never tot I would ever be at that bridge( marriage/proposal) in my life @34.
In fact till this moment, it still hasn't dawned on me am a married man but dude I take the role over seriously.
