4once: Life presents a challenge to everyone who is living: the challenge of living and excelling.
However, this challenge is made easier if you have guidance: that is where the 10 books you should read in your 20’s feature.
Why?
The years between 20 and 29 are the years of abundance: ambition, power, love, sex, lust…but ironically, this same period is one that is characterized by the most gross stupidity – as most major mistakes in life are committed during this period.
So how do you avoid that mess of youth and live without regrets? Simple: Read these 10 books you should read in your youth and take their content serious! They may be your life saver!
The Holy Book of Your Religion
The Holy Book of the religion you believe and practice is very important. Great chances are that it is the religion of your father and his forbears. Now, looking stupid about an article of faith you profess is not the best of situations, I guarantee you.
As a side point, the various books of the numerous religions also have wisdom that is incomparable to contemporary logic. My bet is that you’d never find logic as sound as that presented by the scholars of old!
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
This book, sure will teach you a few things you do not know about money and the financial system of the world.
In turn, you’d avoid teaching your children the prejudices you are most likely to teach them – that is, if you fail to read this book.
The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
This is sure a great and timeless classic. The book teaches the rudiments of wealth and outlines how anyone can amass wealth irrespective of where he/she currently is on the economic ladder.
It is quite an inspiring book in the sense that it teaches wealth creation in a step by step fashion. If after reading this book, your finances are still in a mess, then I don’t think anything can be done to save you!
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Looking to have a realistic picture of what your fellow man is and what governs him? Then, this is the book to read!
The reason why this book is among the 10 books you should read in your 20’s is that it presents man in his true and basic color: it tells you exactly how selfish humans beings are and ensures you do not start life with an innocence in human beings that tends to trust all – even to your detriment!
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The joy of this book is that though it is supposed to be a Treatise on military strategy, the points illustrated in the book can be used to great effect any day or time with the same astonishing results.
The book prepares one to be ferocious when the time and circumstance call for it and also calm and gentle when the moment dictates. Indeed, it is one of the books you MUST read in your 20’s.
The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene
In this world we live, its either you seduce or are seduced. Not literally anyway…When you have to respond to another’s whims and caprices, that’s seduction!
Now, you’re definitely going to be doing a lot of persuasions (seductions) in your adult life: your love, your boss, your children, your in-laws, etc. It’s a book you should read in your 20’s by all means.
Why?
Because even if you have no intention of persuading anyone, at least you should be guarded against the often malicious persuasions of others.
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
This is one book you must read in your 20’s.
The beauty of this book is that it portrays the active play of power and the often cut throat action that follows it in a language that resembles poetry…Here, anyone can feel like the boss, know what it is like to wield power and actively guard against its use on him/her.
This is a book you should not celebrate your 30th birthday without.
The Mafia Manager by V
Hey! This is the most sinister of the list – the author simply wants to be identified as V.
Anyway, apart from the fact that he does not want his full identity known, the advice he offers in the book is simply irresistible! If you’re thinking it’s some Mafia style, relax – nothing of the sort.
V, however, succeeds in bringing the Mafia genius into everyday operations. And the result, as V lets his readers see, is quite practical!
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
This 1903 classic holds to all who have imagination, the power and key to limitless accomplishments!
There is nothing that cannot be achieved if a man sets his eyes to it – that is the key message of the book.
Why it is recommended as a must read before the landmark 30 is that after that age, man is oft to doubt more than it is good for progress!
However, if the message contained in the book is religiously followed, man is sure to make an impact on earth more than Napoleon or Alexander the Great.
Any other book you should read in your 20’s that I missed
More than 1 omission? Sorry, lets hear about it in the comment section.
Source: https://zomoblog./2016/06/30/10-books-you-should-read-in-your-20s/ You must be so self centered as a person. All your recommendations save for the Holy books are all uninspiring, egotistic ones. I wonder why 'christians' read such. Christianity' teaches selflessness, the exact opposite of what those so-called 'inspirational books' does. You didn't recommend simple novels to try to help the dying written English and perhaps spoken too. Most people here writes "am" instead of "I'm " (I am), "is" instead of "it's" (it is) etc. You don't notice such, but I won't blame you much. The value system is totally in shambles. 1 Like |

Akainzo: You are indirectly now asking for the other 35 states to help Delta State out. Given that almost all crude/gas activities has been grounded in Delta State, which is the reason why all the 3 power plants there are currently down, the only way to get power to anywhere in Delta State will be from the National grid. That power would need to be produced from OUTSIDE Delta State.
So you see, isolating oneself is not always necessarily a good thing. The same way other power producers will come to the aid of Delta State today, is why Delta State had been helping to generate funds for the nation since. It's a symbiotic relationship. Never has been symbiotic. Always has been parasitic. It goes beyond oil, the politics of the oil is even more deplorable. |

I don't need to tutor you much here. I have spoken my mind, and invariably that of many from Niger Delta. If people from other region lord over that which is in Niger Delta, then it's not worth having. PTI recruitment just last year was taken to Abuja so that Senators and Abdulahis, Muhameds, Sulaimans, Musas could be flooded into it. Right ba? Let the bombing continue. Nigeria will not die without oil. We were living before it. We will live after it. Since nobody REALLY cares about the abject penury of the indigenous Niger Deltans, it's a fugazy. |

druboon404: But you Ipob miiscreants were hailing the militants..Unfortunately,you didn't encourage your ipob touts to blow up pipelines and the Niger bridge in your biafra state. Make we dey suffer am together na.. President Buhari can only spend maximum of 8 yrs and leave to his Daura home...God's willing,he won't eat sand or grass..Now tell me who is directly suffering the consequences of the millitants action now,?...President Buhari or the masses? Keep on encouraging them to blow any pipeline in action...yeye hypocrites everywhere. We are in it together.. If you are not from the Niger Delta please just shut up regarding pipeline and its bombing. All of you just jump into things you only read online but don't know the reality. If after 30 years of legally drilling oil in that region nothing to show for the hardship to the locals, I say let them bomb it all so that we can all leave them alone to live their lives without the hassles of oil. All these I too know people won't even let people gain admission into schools in their region (catchment area) talk less of jobs nor oil exploration by foreigners. Its their land, you don't know shit about what goes down there. If Nigeria cannot survive without oil, they better treat the goose that lays the golden egg properly. |

Politics › Re: Court Strikes Out Azibola Robert's Suit Against EFCC by Ifebazz(m): 4:41pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
reportnaijanews: Justice Candid Johnson of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere today, June 21, struck out a motion filed against the EFCC by Azibola Robert, a cousin of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, asking the court to restrain the Commission from arresting, detaining or investigating him. The motion was struck out on grounds of lacking diligent prosecution.
In the motion, Azibola requested for an order nullifying and setting aside the remand order obtained by the EFCC to remand him, an order directing the Commission to release him from custody, an order of perpetual injunction restraining the EFCC or any person whatsoever acting for/on behalf of the Commission from arresting or detaining him and demand of special damages in the sum of N200, 000,000 (Two Hundred Million Naira Only). Azibola is being investigated by the EFCC for suspicious contracts awarded to him by the former National Security Adviser to former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
The investigation revealed that between 2012 and 2015, Colonel Sambo Dasuki allegedly awarded fictitious contracts to the tunes of N2,219,188,609.50 ( Two Billion, Two Hundred and Nineteen Million, One Hundred and Eighty Eight Thousand, Six Hundred and Nine Naira, Fifty Kobo), $1,671,742,613.58 (One Billion, Six Hundred Seventy One Million, Seven Hundred and Forty Two Thousand, Six Hundred and Thirteen Dollars Fifty Eight Cents) and €9,905,477.00 (Nine Million, Nine Hundred and Five Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy Seven Euros) respectively to Azibola and his companies and proxies. Also the sums of $40 million and N650 million was said to have been traced in the bank account of Azibola as moneies paid by the former NSA.
It would be recalled that Azibola made similar motion before Abuja High Court and same was dismissed by Honourable Justice O.O Goodluck of Abuja High Court. He later filed two separate motions before Honourable Justice C.M.A Olatoregun of the Federal High Court Lagos and Justice Candid Johnson of the Lagos High Court.

CallMeBIRA: And who said women can't do all those things you listed if given the opportunity?I'd suggest you read up on the snow snail feminism theory propounded by Akachi Ezeigbo Adimora. You feminists keep using one phrase "if given the opportunity ..." like some dude is with it and looks at your gender before giving you. Welcome to reality kids, nobody 'legally asked' women not to do those things but if you would okay your wife or sisters to do them its your cup of coffee. Many ladies who distinguished themselves in their fields of endeavour are acknowledged every where. First female Mayor of Rome is the youngest ever too. Did anyone 'give her the opportunity'? No, 'she took it'. Nobody gives men opportunities, they fight and scramble for it. If any women feel up to it, its a free for all fight. Go ahead and take it. It comes with a catch though just as that for men, you have families. Whether they are important to you is a different issue. |

CallMeBIRA: It depends on the aspect of feminism you are looking at,women engineers are not allowed to work at sites because they lack the 'strength' to do so,I'd suggest snail sense feminism rather than radical feminism You see the hypocrisy in this feminist agenda ba? Female Engineers are not allow to work at sites, now is it segregation or for their own safety or consideration on part of male? How many women would like to climb masts? How many would want to work all night save for nurses whose jobs are subtle in a way? How many would prefer to confront Boko Haram brothers in Sambisa? How many would prefer sailing as a job? How many would like to be pilots? How many would be masons? How many would like to be full-time politicians? How many would like to be heavy duty drivers? How many female policemen would like to be on the check points looking out for armed robbers? How many feminists would feel safe with a female bodyguard and security outfits? How many would like to do deep sea diving as a profession? How many would prefer paying the groom price? How many feminists would even pay for an outing with a guy? You know, it's very easy to sit behind your computer system and tell the world how civilized you are, in reality, you know how foolish it sounds. If your mum really was a feminist, you all would be kids with mums and no dads or one of those babies from 'baby mamas'. We don't need to wait, it is already happening. The rate of divorces in Nigeria is growing geometrically. Keep it up. Future generation girls will only be vessels for babies, not wives. Many ladies deceive themselves that life not about marriage alone, they cry to sleep every night while the so called naive ones have a great family and a loving or not-so-loving husband to return to. Do you think the overcivilized western world are happier than Africans? If they are, how come the suicide rate there is like 10 times that here? They have everything we yearn for, right? But are they happier? Their women throw their men out of the man's house at the slightest provocation, yet, the women still fight for the man to be the care giver for her and the kids, even when she's remarried. You think she's happy? Abeg all you men haters should just repent of your wayward ways and come back to the light of truth. |

I only gave the proper definition of gender equality and equity which is often mistaken as gender roles like in the Queen's comments.
Gender roles in marriage and society is different from gender equality. There are two different things entirely. So what the hell is gender equality that we still don't know and have not observed before?  |
