even me am going through the same thing. Am close to 40! I have all the money now but have not seen a girl I want to marry to..
And you people think its ordinary? Find a Bible believing church or a praying aggressive group, and pray out all the enemies have deposited in your life.The enemy just use a veil to cover your face that you hardly see anyone to marry. We are living in a demon controlled world, except your spiritual eyes are opened.Take this action and thank me later.

My regrets was being in a relationship for 10yrs without a child.
God can do all things. Take your destiny into God's hand.l have seen people who waited on God till 19 years and they have twins, a boy and girl.God will rewrite your story beloved. Get in touch with any Bible believing church.

You got it wrong here!!!! You don't need to go to university to do all what you just wrote above.once you can read and write then you are educated.

University only gives you further specialization on a particular field, but not even as deep as practically learn a skill.
You think so?

Once you can read and write( highest secondary education) then you are educated. Gbam

That I didn't join the army or do my mechanical engineering I had in mind...
Most times I regret it with heart break cause my commandant was ready to push me into NDA cry
Imagine,l joined Airforce,trained as engineer,wasted my precious years in service,sent to London and Holland and at the end has nothing to show for it.Aside from my uncompleted building,begging for attention without help from no one.

And you are perfect? smiley

Perfection is illusory. EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE have flaws. I don't know what you mean by “significantly flawed” but it's illusive to think there's a perfect woman out there for you. Funny how people who critique other people's flaws are usually the most flawed people. wink
Thanks my sister. There's no perfect woman elsewhere. Neither perfect man.We are product of imperfections. From the fall of Adams and Eve,all men have come Short of God's Glory.Perfection come, when Christ becomes your partner in life's journey.
If you're searching for a perfect woman under the circumstances, its like making a research about God or trying the impossible.

Club Cubana is the answer. I worked there. If you have ever been there or clubbed there, then you'd understand how making thousands could be easy peasy in one night. I could make as much as 500k on a weekend. Then, I was like LAPO to family and friends. If you met me then to borrow you 1M, it would be readily available.

I was a teenage girl, naive and impressionable. I felt everyone had a good heart — like me. I would always help anyone who came to me having money problems. Anyone. I'd make sure you live la Vida loca as far as you came to me for help and I know you.

I had an admission to study in Finland, and then I got duped of over 5Ms by an agent. Sadly, this person was introduced to me by family. Till now, I don't know her whereabouts. I doled out uncountable monies doing giveaways without plans because I felt it would always be there. Even my parents were no good.

Do you know what it feels like to have over 9M in one minute and be stark broke in another? Sometimes, I sit and stare forlornly and just think I have nothing else to live for. When I tell people I'm depressed, they laugh at me and call me bipolar or make jest of me about being depressed. You don't understand it, mate. Like another Nairalander said, maybe I'm just still very weak and playing cowardice to snuff life out of me. Or maybe, I'm still very undecided. Time will tell.

Mind you, I have things going on for me but I can't forking move on. I hate everyone who I ever was there for. I hate them. I regret every forking thing I ever did for them. 😭. Maybe, I just had too many expectations. Just maybe. But, why should I not? I forking cared for them. Why shouldn't I?

I'm sorry about the epistle.
You have indeed be favoured by God.l think what was missing in your life is not having relationship with God,even though He has endowed much on you.For the rest of your life, seek after Him.

Actually, parents are the ones to blame. They procreated and made you. Not God. We didn't ask to be birthed, they choose to do so out of our free will. Sucks.

But, I agree with you. Taking one's life will always be an option. How long exactly should someone keep hoping for?
Till God's appointed time as believer's in Christ. If you're not born again, forget it,you're hopeless.

Not able to push for the career path I wanted at point of gaining admission to uni. Then, also not being sensitive enough to stop the chain of events that led to my sister's death, that's quite painful
Throw more light on your sister's chain of events that led to her demise, so that we can learn.

I see people making this mistake all the time but I think it’s greed (maybe wrong). if u had done just 2 self contained you will be earning some cash today. But u can still sell it and use the money to invest on something else.
Just like that? Investing in a business in Nigeria with lots and lots of uncertainties?
Re: At Your Age, What's Your Biggest Regret In Life by bereavedheart: 4:24am On Jun 29, 2023
Not gaining financial freedom and independence at an earlier age. I felt I didn't always have enough opportunity to attain that but looking back now I wish I had tried so much harder. This financial dependence persisted to the present now. Sometimes when depending on people for so many things ,you might have to conform to what they want any contrary opinion and you are seen as being ungrateful. Right now i feel like a slave to gratitude. I have said thank yous so many time and paid back what was loaned in terms of money but its never enough. I know it's definitely God's plan and he always put people around as destiny helpers. Humans are meant to help one another and i am blessed and grateful for all the help I have gotten. But the mental stress I have gone through this past year is just too much for me.

I wanted to leave the country back then.

Got admissions everywhere England, Usa, and Poland I felt finally I have arrived but unfortunately I got dupped.

Lost every penny in a flash, I couldn't even afford to feed myself.

That day I died inside and till today I will never recover from the shock.

The only reason I'm still is because I'm a coward that can't bear a little pain to end it all.

I wish I could go to bed and never wake up.
People who kill themselves are the real cowards.
As long as there is life, and you don't give up on yourself , there is always hope.
The night may seem long .. but daybreak must surely come..

Stay strong.. Big things await you. If you brave enough to believe and work towards them.

I can't see well enough anymore to read as much as I used to. Optician says it's the result of too much reading with bad light (candles and lantern). Pity, as there's still quite a lot of books I'd love to read and can't find them in audio.

I've posted a link to audio Bible. Download it on to your phone to listen to as you go about and you'd soon get to the end.
Thanks A Bunch.

My greatest regret was getting married 10years ago for a wrong reason. I wish I can change my decision but any time I look at my wonderful kids I summon courage and wanting to stay put. Most married men are sincerely in hell but lack courage to speak out.

I will always say I curse the day I started gambling heavily. that is my no. 1 regret. No. 2 is not banging the pussies of oghale and Sandra thinking we would never separate. No. 3 been too kindhearted and having too much sympathy at d slightest plea; I dey dash out my rent money just to see that person happy again. No. 4 putting family needs above mine. Now nobody is here for me in my hard time. Those are my only regrets.
But on a norm, make I no lie: my family do call me most times if I need anything but I usually say no which is true most times. My family has been there. I appreciate them!
