Being stable can never be predicted in Nigeria. May be when the stability ur waiting for will come before u get married u will now realized that ur giving birth to ur Gran kids instead of ur children and the strength have has shrink down.

Uzoelue1987:
Mine is getting married and starting a family without becoming financially stable yet. Its draining.

allow kids to have enough plays when young and that way they can hone their natural skills if any...there is nothing special about life so i'm gonna let them know and live it in a simple, sweet and carefree way without fear of failure (they should never be afraid to make mistakes) or rejection and they should realize always that home is where help is if all else failed them and lastly the manipulation of how our brain trick us into becoming our own number 1 enemy..

Postinor:
what is so wrong with studying medicine

Why are doctors running away from Nigeria?

Raymeskey:
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.

Hmmm so you see sex as an accomplishment?

it is for greener pastures now, but even desame doctors are well paid in Nigeria

samuelpeters:
Not learning a skill.
Simple!!

What skill would you advise someone to learn?

For believing that you have to be Educated before you can become rich..

bamdexfarms:
Attending a Polytechnic instead of a University. After my OND, I had a fantastic job offer in a reputable company with chances of career growth. I gained admission for my HND a month later and I resigned from the job because of HND. I only realized what dichotomy meant after graduation. I had to restart my education as a 100 level student at a foreign university and will be graduating this year in my early 30s. Polytechnics/HND should be scrapped.

is it that it is not valued in Nigeria, because most people usually say it does not matter

In whatever my children want to venture into,u will give my best to make sure they graduate as a university students,come out with excellent grades and be academically sound.Then they will go into football at tender age.May Almighty Allah gives me the grace to do it for them.

DrAda:


I was overweight.

Obesity in childhood persists into adulthood with attendant cardiovascular, metabolic disorders and cancers.

I don't want that for them.

It's a good thing you worked hard to reduce your weight! How old are your kids?

Thank you!

University.

It’s a waste of time!

Nice2023:
My greatest mistake was not learning how to lie to people.

I don't how to lie nor cheat people.


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

Mee too🥺🥺..

I wish I'm street credible, a better lier and not a good person. Because to survive in Nigeria, you will need the opposite of these traits..

Being honest and trusting have coated me more than helped me in life. Heights I would have reached if I have bent the truth to suit the situation...

It's well

Trusting friends & some family friends

SugarGirl44:
Not learning about making money early enough.
Would also wish for them to get married a bit earlier, girls 23-25, boys 26-28.

allow your children to take dat decisions on dia own,to avoid having break marriages here and there.

Not sure that i am comfortable divulging this here.

pyyxxaro:
Deceiving myself that Nigeria would get better 🤫

You no well

Wait till after inuguration speech on Monday. Your faith go raise again

Most kids cannot be forced to learn a skill.

Many want to keep up appearances and learning a skill does not help in their street credibility which is why many kids will not heed this your advice. You will realize this when your smallies come of age and begin to rebel you like you also rebelled your parents.

55truth:
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.

I respect your privacy!

Your profile depicts a medical practitioner. If you're a Doctor, do you mind giving me a very brief overview of medical practice in Nigeria?

Never will i choose for my children what they should study... Just like my bro and sis do to study comp while i am comfortable with Agriculturer science.
Might advice them ooooo with good skill at early stage

Not quite where it should be with repect to global best practices but I am hopeful that it will get better.

fyzaila:
Learning a skill.

Learning skill is not good? Could you please elaborate further....

dokyOloye:
Study medicine

Hahahaha colleague why na?

dokyOloye:
Study medicine

Why, you studied a good course

Grow up in Nigeria. I will make sure they don't experience life as a Nigerian.

If you don't mind me asking, why?

Patosky4U:
Not been patient to study my dream course (MBBS) instead I went on to study biochemistry in a country that do not value it

Boss tell me more, I'm on the same track too I once applied for mbbs but was given Biochemistry and I'm now in 300L, just getting negative reviews everywhere have you anything to tell me??

Thundafireseun:
Nigeria is in a messsss .

I sincerely regret not travelling out a long time

I swear! I had the opportunity to Japa then but I messed up but I will still give it a shot again.

I trusted people too much and I was too nice to a fault.

BigDawsNet:
I should hav accepted Jesus christ as my lord and personal saviour since I was a kid...

Tho I was a born Christian but I really dint care...

But when I remember what I passed through before I made it... then I realised if I had known him since was a kids... I wouldn't have struggled..

Honestly...the only essence of life, in my estimation, is to SINCERELY and completely live for Jesus. Nothing else matters.

Your children too will make their own mistakes. Live life and embrace the good and bad. They all have their different purposes in your life.
