What Mistakes Did You Make And You Don't Want Your Children To Make? by 55truth(op): 7:31am On May 25, 2023
Let's discuss as a family, those mistakes you made which you later regret and you wouldn't want your children to make.

Mine was going to the university without learning a skill and solely hoping to land a good paying job with the certificate after school. When "Nigeria" dawned on me, I realized I made a mistake by not fortifying myself with skills while going to school.

My children will not make such a mistake. If God approves, they will go into sports and entertainment from tender age.

Let's learn from each other.

Sometimes these mistakes are what shape us to be better and more moulded people. It's a learning process in which the experience can help us make better decisions later in life.

I enjoy the thrill in messing up and picking up myself again. But i hope my kids don't consume as much alcohol as I have in my lifetime, I am not a drunkard but I wish I could have more resistance to the bottle.

My greatest mistake was not learning how to lie to people.

I don't know how to lie nor cheat people.


My children have learnt same from me...and this may affect them when they grow up.

Committing my future to a sheet hole like Ni-SHIT-ia.
Even your politicians know that they are ruling over a gigantic sheet hole and that is the reason why all of them are in the habit of sending their pregnant wives, daughters, concubines and girlfriends to the US and Europe so their children can have foreign citizenship.
In Nigeria patriotism is a scam.

Not learning about making money early enough.
Would also wish for them to get married a bit earlier, girls 23-25, boys 26-28.

In as much they are deligent and focus with their doings, they should flex every bit of enjoyment opportunities (bang when opportunity present itself), because they won't get it again which will lead them to regret and they may want to augment which will make them to do worse.

chances of making it in sports and entertainment is slim in a place like Nigeria. in a country of more than 2m upcoming artists only 2 per year blow hahahahaha. Nigerian need to realise that you cant live the life you missed through your children. let them be, they will learn life themselves only give them guidance.
