Nigerian business terrain is tough due to low purchasing power of Nigerians making Nigerians seekers of cheap articles and products, which most often means the business owners must compromise quality in order to get patronage and meet up with competition in Nigeria.


Aside that, as a Nigerian business owner, you battle staff theft whereby every of your employee is busy looking for Avenue to steal from your business; from managers to account departments (the worst of them all) to even security personnel.


Then comes the Nigerian government authorities with their never straightforward taxes, levies and whatnot.


Did I mention the banks and their ridiculous charges?


What about your business rivals and competitors looking for every means to bring your business down, they use all conventional and unconventional methods, including going spiritual diabolism, voodooism, witchcraft and thuggery. It's not easy owning a successful business in Nigeria.



Honestly if you see any business owner or company owner in Nigeria making it big and still operating after 10 years of startup, please respect that person

When you approach the age 40, if you are observant, u will notice alot of changes in your life , both physically, mentality, health wise, and people's approach to u...

Some of this changes are listed below through person experience

People's approach to you great writeup

1. You will begin to notice the addition of "sir" when younger ones greet you.. this is not to say people don't greet you when you turned 30. But this time around alot of sir will accompany the greetings

2. Alot of aged ladies will b attracted to you if u are still single...

3. Almost everyone that doesn't know you will assume u are married if u are not by that age

3. Any kid playing around you will b assume to b your child by strangers

4. You will b gossiped about alot by everyone in your neighborhood if you are not married yet at that age
5. If u are single ,you will no longer b able to date young girls for two reasons:

1. Is the unmatched appearance together as society will speak about it too much
2. The girls will stylishly say no, cuz to them you are old.. remember u now have white beards and monstach

Physical changes

1. You will begin to grow grey hair from 35 up

2. Your face will naturally begin to drop from 38.. there will b this obvious daily deep lines running down from your nose sideways down to your side mouth... It will get deeper and more glaring with time

3. You mind will mostly be about finance and good life rather than women

4. You will not b able to jump wide gutters as easily as you previously can..not cuz you can't do it anymore, but your guts will fail u

5. If you are a fast worker, your speed will reduce

6. You may not easily get tired after long work, but your time for body restoration of your energy will now take longer

7. You will begin to wake late unless u maintained the alarm culture...to beat this u need to sleep early unlike the youths..

8. If you embark on a long road travel and you belong in the group of never sleeping in the bus, you will begin experience sleeping in the bus often..

9. From 35 up, u will lower your hair cuts and before or around 40 if u are not an obviously hairy person, u will move to barbing skin hair cut..this is because u will lose very visible part of your hair (baldness) and to measure it up will lead to u barbing skin...

Health changes

1. Family history health concerns will begin to show up..e.g bad eyesight. Etc

2. New set of age prone health issues will also become your concern as BP, low sugar, high sugar breathing problem will all b your concern...

3. Your prowess in the other room will reduce, urge is not affected, but efectiveness will..

Story of the day;

Hello Omajuwa. I am an only child who is 42years old. My mother refused to remarry after my father died when I was young. She sacrificed so much for me to be where I am today. I got married about 7years ago. My wife and I have been looking upto God for a child. After pleading with my wife for us to adopt at least a child to no avail, I decided to get my mum who stays with us to help me speak to her woman to woman. But this made them become sworn enemies. My wife since then talks to my mother anyhow and disrespects her every now and then. It has been like that for months.

Few days ago, while returning from work, I heard their loud shouts from outside but I remained outside waiting for the shouts to be over as I didn’t want to be put in the position of choosing a side. But I had to intervene when I heard a loud slap. My wife had slapped my mother. I was enraged but I kept my cool, took my mother from the scene and catered for her. I have since not said a word to my wife.

All I feel when I am at home is sadness and depression. I have no peace in my own home. I have sacrificed a whole lot just to make this marriage work. The woman I married has become someone else. I have defended this same woman from my extended family for years. I have been labeled a ritualist and all sorts of name due to our childlessness but I have never cheated and I have always defended my wife despite knowing that she is the one with fertility issues.

Even though my mother has been trying to put up a strong front since that day, I know that she has been crying herself to sleep. I love my wife so much but I love my mum too. What could my mother have possibly done to warrant her slapping my mother? I think my wife is selfish and is no longer who I married. Why would she rather constantly inflict pain and sadness on her own family? I just want peace of mind and I have made up my mind to divorce my wife. But hope this won’t be a mistake? Is there still a marriage to save here? How do I go about it? What do I do? Please help me.

You readily forgive those you love without a doubting spirit. You are kind of toxic, even me that like trouble dont know how to keep grudges, before the next day as e long reach, i've forgotten that we even had issues. Marriage isnt relationship, learn to accept your partner's flaws and weaknesses and forgive them each time their weaknesses is taking it's toll on them. This one isn't even a big issue sef, its you who has been complicating things. He's sorry and begging you for forgiveness and you still dont want to forgive him, what else do you want? His head? Abeg work on your unforgiven spirit.

Parents it’s time you start monitoring your wards, I know it’s not easy but you have to try. Make your kids your best friend, visit them on campus.

Be friends with their friends.
A 16years old girl went to do family planning just to please her boyfriend, so they can have sex the way they want. She doesn’t understand the danger she is putting herself in.

Stop trying to do the wrong things all in the name of love, stop trying to please people.
