You mean I should leave my land for people who are trying to take over my land?

I have one case in court over it at the moment
Don't mind him, he has not seen where land grabber will intentionally want to take your land at all costs.

Why won't u ladies fight over a man when una must chop, buy wig and so on grin grin
Lol

A Stern Reminder

Ladies, it's time to take a stand and prioritize your self-worth and self-development. Fighting over a man is not only demeaning, but it's also a clear indication that you're compromising your own values and dignity.

Let's Be Clear:

If a man is not faithful, it's not your job to fix him or change him. It's not your responsibility to tolerate his infidelity or make excuses for his behavior.

Your Worth Is Not Defined by a Man:

Your self-worth and self-development should be your top priority. Focus on building your own strengths, pursuing your passions, and cultivating meaningful relationships that uplift and support you.

Stay Away from Toxic Relationships:

If you notice that a man is not faithful, kindly stay away. Don't waste your time, energy, or emotions on someone who doesn't respect or value you.

Remember:

You deserve better. You deserve to be loved, respected, and cherished. Don't settle for anything less. Prioritize your own self-worth and self-development, and never compromise your values and dignity for anyone.

Never associate with a liar, only deal with him when you cannot do otherwise, and be very cautious.
People never change, unless they genuinely give their life to Christ.
Be consistent in any venture until you reach the end
This is honest and clear

Follow your instincts, if your instinct keeps warning you about a person or something make sure to heed and cut ties.

Control your temper, learn how to manage mood swings

Don't prioritize your girl until you get married to her.
One shouldn't prioritise one's woman even if you're married to her.Always prioritise yourself as a man.

So, if someone wakes up and grabs any of the plots of land i have suffered to get, i will just leave it for him?
So that what will happen? I will be rewarded with heaven or the post of the president??

Every skill you learn opens a new door for a price

Not everyone will see there grand kids, enjoy every moment of your life, you don't hold the future.

You have the right to be angree or free the choice is always yours.

Don't follow a woman who does not support you but run like hell to help are family no matter the course, she will make your life mess.

You don't need to tell any your success keep your lips close why sell your self out to does who want nothing but to see you beg


Etc

I’ve had more than one bad incident to come to this conclusion, the experience that broke the camel’s back day before yesterday,was what led me to learning a lesson

About that online one, why did you say so?
Too many bad experiences that usually end with me saying ‘ if I had known I would have gone to buy this from the shop/ store’
Too many what I ordered vs what I got
Not to talk of the money wasted
Never again

Please speak more on this. I actually don't understand it!
musicwriter:
Don't sacrifice your life for your junior ones (those that are girls are the only ones that need help. Those that are boys, you're actually not doing them a favor by not allowing them to start their life on time). But whether boys or girls, they'll still survive without you.

NB: Funny enough, when someone gave me this advice several years ago I thought he was the Devil.

But it depends on the type of goods na. Asin they are many sectors in goods. It may be clothes, electrical appliances, phones appliances, food, furnitures, footwares etc. One of these sectors ordered online may still be okay.

One shouldn't prioritise one's woman even if you're married to her.Always prioritise yourself as a man.
Don't forget your wife and children will be your family. I wonder why you shouldn't prioritize them.
Re: 3 Things I Learned Late In Life by blacksam01:

this last part is what I don't agree with. This is how people take advantage of you and call you a fool.

Whoever encroach into my lands will have himself or herself to blame, as I'll go all out against them.

I was 29 years old when our mother left. And ever since I became the breadwinner of the house.

But I had a choice to just carry on my own life, instead I sacrificed my own aspirations for them to make sure they go to school, feed, etc. Example; I wanted to take up a part time in UNILAG then, but couldn't just do that anymore.

I never knew what was called a girl friend as I actually lived like a parent already. I could have got married at that point but I didn't. I remember the same friend asking me to get married then but I didn't. He once told me that "if you could take care of these people, then you can as well get married now." But their upbringing was more important to me.

Long story short, when things went sour for me, those that are male vow that I've never helped them in my life. And they're living on their own now. Those that are female got married within a couple of years. So, at the end I realized they could as well survived without me.

Now, I have no serious interest in getting married cause I feel I'll be taking up a responsibility that I already passed many years ago.

Finally, it's not as if I regret it but the attitude of some of them today makes me seriously consider whether that was the right thing to do on my part

Avoid Aviator betting.

In fact avoid anything betting it would never make you rich rather it would destroy your life, you may see it now as where you get your little daily peanuts, but there are family men or grown men who started young too but today have being brought down to ruin, sold all their property, borrowed money, some even stole to gamble but at the end wasted their lives, gambling online or offline is a destroyer , be wise

That hardwork or effort you refused to do to better your life in your youthfulness, life will make you go through triple the pain of that effort in your later life with lots of regrets and yet less satisfaction.


Simply means....

Put in the work today and enjoy the reward all through the rest of your life. Time will pass anyway, just don't let it pass while you are stagnant.

2. Never look down on anyone..a minute can change a man's situation.

3. A man is never finished until he decides that he is finished.

Story for the gods..

Is that the reason Unbelievers and Atheists are doing better than you in life?
It depends on your definition of doing good. What you consider as doing good might not be what I consider as doing good. It has never occurred to you that those who know their God don't measure success with the same parameters you chose to measure yours? It is part of the wisdom you lack, ability to know that your measure of success doesn't necessarily conform with mine.

This is for those who know that God exist,the atheist remained clueless for life and thus walking in darkness throughout life.
Truth doesn't depend on individual's perception. If it is truth, it is truth even when we deny it.
Re: 3 Things I Learned Late In Life by Love800(m): 10:08am On Dec 02, 2024
Sad. This is heart-breaking.

We don't know who to trust anymore, Either siblings or friends. The reality of life!
