For guys: In order to fit into the system. And apply for jobs that are way pass their age. There are also those into sports who reduce their ages as well so they can have a longer career.

For girls: To give the impression to prospective toasters that they're forever young as most guys would naturally prefer to go after younger girls than older ones.

These are largely Nigerian silliness.

1. No job should be age-restricted except it requires specific physical attributes like Modelling or Acting certain roles.

Fact check me on this... You will hardly see employers abroad placing age limits on jobs. Once you have the needed skills and experience, you are good to go. If you like be 60 plus.

Putting age limitations is a clear ground for discriminatory accusations and law suits.

2. That comes down to societal pressure on women and relationships. It's just backwardness.

There are different strokes for different folks. Some guys like older women for specific reasons while others don't. We need not place taboos on people's choices.


Finally, whether or not anyone reduces his or her age, everyone ages and will show their age one day.


This is why most of our footballers never make it far in their careers... Imagine a 25 year old already unfit and retiring when he has no injury issues.

That's because of the discriminatory menace called "Ageism".

It's largely limited to Africa, especially Nigeria, where undue and needless pressure is placed on people to achieve certain milestones before specific ages... These milestones include:

Marriage
Childbirth
Employment
Wealth
Academic excellence
Etc.

Another aspect is the penchant of the average African Negro to be dishonest about almost everything especially with regards to getting into age-restricted slots.

Typical instances include your footballers and sportspeople, as well as your career Politicians.

Even your President lied blatantly about his age.


I met a lot of foreigners in my travels abroad, and they were never ashamed or bothered about their ages or aging.

Men at 40 to 50 have no qualms about flaunting their ages, whether or not they are high achievers... Matter of fact, it's mostly Nigerians that attach age to achievements and everything else in life.


We are always competing needlessly and seem to enjoy mocking people for even the slightest reasons.


Abroad people don't call low achievers "fools at 40" or ridicule middle aged people who choose to be single or live simple lives.

Nobody abroad gives a shit about a lot of the mundane and silly things we stigmatize people about in Nigeria.

All these ones no concern me...!

I am more concerned about the fate of the remains of the Bushmeat poor antelope.

archbishop007:
Haba! You get sense at all?

Boss, I have absolutely no sense jare.

Na people wey leave Naija multitude of problems dey talk about Burkina Faso all day long get sense.

Una wehdone o!

ddippset:
False!

Tell me one wrong thing Atiku did, and I will tell you 3 that Wike did wrong.

The most glaring was indicating interest after the nation finished a deplorable 2-term zoned to the same region he is from.

He knew what was at stake, not just within the party but across the nation.

Demand and Supply...!

Sex-crazed young men are obsessed with backsides... So, low self-esteem ladies are desperately trying to be seen and adored by such low IQ men.

Plastic surgeons, both experienced and quacks, are making a killing from this anomaly.

Nigeria as a nation has such a high tolerance for Crimes of all forms...!

No wonder terrorism, cultism, and such ritual murders continue to rise yearly.

If the security forces truly decide to declare a full scale war on terror and violent crimes, every street in Nigeria would be sanitized within 3 months.

Sonnobax15:

One of the many demerits of military rule....

The country wasn't faring any better under Democracy.

If democracy was thriving and doing right, there would have been no basis or room for military rule.

All the military regimes in Nigeria stemmed from the failure of democratic rulers to be patriotic and incorruptible.

Look at Nigeria after 26 years of Democracy... Citizens are poorer, less secure, and every sector still struggling.


Not a supporter of Dictatorship, just pointing out how an unjust and corrupt system that favors a select few will always lay the grounds for civil crisis and anarchy, which will most assuredly lead to Military takeover.

shoodboi2:
The anti-Burkina Faso propaganda continues. You can see them repeatedly bashing Taore in the media so that they can use that as an opportunity to sanction his country before assassinating him.

Ask them for a single body or video of the incident and they can never provide it. Even their news says the BBC cannot confirm it.

You can't confirm it and yet reported it as news? No evidence. No proof. No eyewitness. Nothing.

My question remains...

I know France put Tinubu and his boys up to this... But why?!!

What did France promise Jagaban to demarket Burkina Faso?!!

Sigh... We are still on this Burkina matter?!!

Of all the problems facing Nigeria today, na Burkina Faso and their dictator be the main headache of Tinubu children!


I understand the desperation and deep desire of France to reclaim their hold on the resources of their former colony... But, why should Nigeria be dragged into this face off by Tinubu and his dogs?!!


Terrible things have been going on in Libya, Congo, and others for years now... I never saw you guys running wild with their news... Abi, are they not African nations?!!


You guys need to explain why it's so important to deeply focus on a military rule in a smaller nation...!

You guys are always against such exposè and negative light on Nigeria's woes (calling it demarketing), but you have no qualms doing it to another African nation.

ddippset:
Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.

Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku.
He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.


He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party..
Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.

This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.

He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

Leave this talk abeg.

Wike is a despicable human being, but in this case, he is right!


Atiku Abubakar singlehandedly destroyed that party... That will remain top on his failed political legacy.

I told people that that sham of a primary, in 2023, would be the very destruction and end of PDP...!

They thought I was joking...!

The departure of men of influence coupled with Wike's unfortunate rebellion and sellout buried that former ruling party for good.

Oga, just rest abeg...! .

That God has been keeping you hirelings quiet all these years doesn't mean He doesn't know what to do.

Y'all just be taking God's tolerance and that of Christians for granted.

Title deciding game...!

Newcastle is heading back to Europe's elite competition...!

As for Chelsea, that next Friday match against Man United has now become a must win.


They should pray United is in the Bonanza mood to throw the game to them.

Reno, aren't you a member of PDP?!!

What have you done to make PDP more serious and in better position to defeat APC come 2027?!!

Goodvibes007:
Reno has some words for them

Yeah... Reno should be confused.

Isn't he a card-carrying member of PDP?!!

Shouldn't he be working harder for the victory of his party come 2027?!!

As expected... Online ethnic fight don take over the thread.

A nation that creates opportunities for industry and commerce to thrive while enhancing the purchasing power of its citizens will easily have such growing number of Billionaires within its population.

This is not rocket science... This is the main takeaway from this thread.

Peacecore:
Brazil don't do kick and chase nah

I was talking about quality and depth of squad not style of play.

Of course, he will implement his pattern when he gets there without breaking their culture.

Fiscus105:
Time would say, I won't be surprised if they lay low for next 3 seasons. Mbape in that squad, with junior still at peak, I doubt if Alonso would capable of managing the two superstars, not even Mbape with his inflated ego. The two still hunting endlessly for balon d'or

Perez and the club are solidly behind him, from what I observed.

Mbappe and Junior will have to adjust to his standards or get shipped out.

Madrid doesn't pander to the ego of players like other clubs... Every player knows he is easily dispensable.

All the four nations have one particular thing in common...!

SMH!!!

The one party system of China is not controlled by criminals and corrupt kleptomaniacs.

From Akpabio to this Dollar collector... These are the people overseeing the politics of Nigeria.

This country is gone!

Fiscus105:
In fact, how can you sack coach that still won champion league and la liga last season, just because he didn't win this year? Too harsh. After all, Alonzo too didn't replicate what he did last year.

Well, Ancellotti was going to leave eventually... I won't call it a sack.

He was headed out whether or not they won the UCL... And they can still win La Liga if they win El Classico this weekend.


The old man has tried... Time for him to move on to national team coaching, and Brazil will be the perfect squad almost similar to his Madrid team.

If he somehow manages to win the world cup with them, that would make him undoubtedly the most successful coach in Footballing history.


Real Madrid is due for a new direction and newer tactical ideas... Not sure if Alonso can hit the ground running sha.

gigabyte13:
Take writz with you
That guy is too good for Bayern Leverkusen

Florian is heading to Bayern next season... They've agreed a deal in principle.

gidgiddy:
The bigger picture here is that Anambra, and Igbos in general, will not be part of the uttet failure called APC

Okay... I see.

Unfortunately, that failure will affect everyone in Nigeria.

GeneralPula:
Ghana no sabi book reach naija sha..

The stats and reports say otherwise...!

The education sector of Nigeria, especially public education, is deteriorating everyday.

This is not even debatable... It's quite glaring.


I thought the "Education na Scam" slogan was a mere social media joke when it started few years ago, but unfortunately it's a reality.

Kids are no longer taking their studies seriously... And the results in the external exams are clear evidence of this, coupled with the continous proliferation of Miracle centers.

JAMB and WAEC performances in the last 2 years clearly show where our Formal Education sector is headed...!


What a shame!!!

gidgiddy:
APGA had a Presidential candidate in 2023, an Igbo man for that matter

But Peter Obi swept Anambra with over 90% of the votes from the Labour Party

Tinubu is not even as popular as APGA's 2023 Presidential Aspirant in Anambra

Obi is going to once again sweep his home State Anambra with close to 100% of the votes in 2027

Sigh... What exactly would that do for him overall?!! Would that bring him any closer to the prize?!!

All this APGA talk is just paid P.R for Jagaban, who can't be defeated by either Obi or Atiku or their coalition.

Obi will always win Anambra, just as Atiku will be permitted to corner his own state too... These won't matter when the final results are collated.

None of them is truly smart...!

Seeing a Yahoo boy that understands the concept of maintaining appearances and keeping a low profile is almost impossible.

That's why I don't rate their intelligence... Which says a lot about the IQ of those they scam.

SMH!!!

I still don't understand why Reno and the rest of Tinubu's minions have made pulling this man down their current life work...!

While I don't believe he is doing anything amazing or out of this world in his country, nothing really concern the Poverty capital of the universe for their matter.

How does his success or failings as Burkina president affect us?!!

...Or more importantly, why do you guys desperately want him to fail?!!

Would his failure make your excuse for a democracy seem more manageable?!!

SMH!!! Una no get work.
