What is your foundation like ?
What is your level of education? Did you finish schooling ? Did you learn a trade or handiwork all these years ?
At your age ,it will be difficult securing some income source if you did not have all these academic achievements or some learnt handiwork .
However , all is not lost .
In the industry I work in , we value drivers as we are into transportation and logistics .
Can you drive a motor vehicle ?
If no,go learn some driving skills at a certified driving school close to you, if you do not know how to drive vehicles.
Focus on first learning manual cars .
Then , learn automatic .
Get your license .
Apply for driving .
That is what I can think of right now in your situation .
Wishing you all the best .

Oga,go into tech and thank me later. Learn data science or cyber security, then I can help you from there

Tech is good, but life is not all about tech… there are many things one can do apart from tech fa!

My brother, na fight till death. No giving up. It is better to try and fail than giving up without trying.

I dey run companies. I regard myself as an entrepreneur. Two abroad one in Naija with staffs working from home.

You can start afresh but stay away from the witches and wizards in this forum.

I'm into DevOps, how can I connect with you please? I need help ooo

Manculated:
It is well with you comrade.

I suggest you go for spiritual cleasing in a very remote area if you know one.

Afterall, You can then choose to learn a skill or trade. Dedicated at least twelve months to this course. I'm certain you will experience breakthrough.

You will marvel if many successful people in Nigeria tells you "TRUTH" what they did and went through before they become successful.

So true

Haba, but that's something write home about na. Wetin come sup?

Sirchiboy:
Just clocked 46 yesterday.
And nothing to write home about

From what I've observed about you (through your threads), your weaknesses are you're unstable/lack consistency, and you give up too easily (when faced with challenges).

You need to be disciplined, determined, and intentional.
Decide what you want out of life, and stay on course.
If you can work on those, something good will definitely come out of it.

As long as you're alive, there is hope if you don't give up.

Typing:
Ok
Sounds like something that is performed by Herbalist?

Don't toe this path, it is diabolic.
Ultimate cleansing is only by the blood of Jesus Christ.

You can't start over again, you have 14 years left before turning 60 start now to prioritize the things that'll add value to your life and plan very well to accomplish some of them. If you haven't figured that out at 46 then maybe you can join Manabbqgrill in his zombie work.

FameGlory:
Lie that you were not rich before.

Lie that you've not enjoyed good money in this life.

Lie that you did not have a good job or thriving business before.

Lie that you were not living a comfortable life before.

I can swear with my sweet breasts that you enjoyed life in your younger years. Enjoyed good money. Probably even travel outside Nigeria.

Everything suddenly turned sour due to unforeseen circumstances and now you want to go into Depression.

Oya lie.

who dash you good breasts? Dey whine yourself.

As long as there is life and good health, just give thanks to God. If I can succeed I swear anybody can, job in the Bible didn't see anything

It’s going to be very well, especially if you’re starting from nothing…
The good news is, with determination and dedication, you’ll pick up fast…
I don’t know which skills to tell you to learn , but marketing won’t be bad … wishing you best of luck.

simpleseyi:
Coming from a wretched youth like you?

Yes like your sisters

Are You at peace with your Creator??

Is Your Soul resting in Jesus Christ?

If so, forget about everything else and just enjoy God, everything will fall in place.

Nnamdipapa:
As long as you are alive, yes!

Let me hit you with some real stories of people who started late and still crushed it.

1. Colonel Sanders - The Chicken King

You’ve heard of KFC, right? Well, Harland Sanders didn’t start frying up that finger-lickin' chicken until he was in his 60s. Before that? He was a failed salesman, a gas station owner, and had about a dozen other gigs that didn’t pan out. At 65, with his recipe and a whole lot of determination, he started franchising his chicken business. Today, KFC is a global phenomenon. Imagine if he’d thought he was too old to try.

2. Vera Wang - The Fashion Icon

You see her name on luxury wedding gowns, but Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until she was 40. Before that, she was a figure skater and then an editor at Vogue. She thought she’d missed her shot in fashion design, but clearly, she hadn’t. Today, she’s one of the most respected designers in the world. It wasn’t about her age; it was about her passion.

3. Samuel L. Jackson - Hollywood's Coolest

Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his big break until he was 46 when he starred in Pulp Fiction. Before that, he was doing small roles, battling addiction, and trying to find his way. Now? He’s one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Age didn’t hold him back. His persistence pushed him forward.

4. Ray Kroc - The Man Behind McDonald's

Ray Kroc was a milkshake machine salesman well into his 50s when he stumbled upon a little burger joint run by the McDonald brothers. He saw potential, bought them out, and turned McDonald's into the fast-food empire we know today. He was over 50 when he started! He literally built a billion-dollar brand while most people were thinking about retirement.

5. Laura Ingalls Wilder - The Pioneer Author

You know Little House on the Prairie? Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first book until she was 65. Yep, 65! She spent years working on a farm, raising a family, and living the pioneer life before she decided to write about it. Her stories became timeless classics, beloved by generations.

So, is it okay to start life at 46? Heck yes, it is. Your age isn't a roadblock; it's a badge of experience. Life doesn't hand out deadlines for dreams. You set your own timeline.

In this life, some people can run, some can walk while others can only crawl, It does not matter whether you run, walk or crawl, My philosophy is to constantly on the move from one point to the other no matter how little.

You’re not too old my friend. You’re just getting started. For me, I will rather die trying to make than to give up.

Go for it.

You're amazing,well done

Giving up no Dey my dictionary. I will only give up when I can no longer move again.

Smilleydr:
may God help man, no be small challenges men dey face, imagine life at 46, na hin one dey talk yesterday say if you are a man and you never gget land at 35 you are not serious wih your life, its well.

Pls don't mind people who write or post rubbish like life is an Abc matter. If you see people just leave them as they are ooh. If some people begin to tell you their stories ehn. Everyone with how their journey is different

Federal govt is running an 3MTT program for free. He can enroll for it.

@Lalami I will communicate with you after my training pls.

MatrixCircle:
Even at 50 you can start all over. I have seen 55 starting all over and still made it. Age is just a number. In Uk I have a friend from Zimbabwe 70 years old still actively working and just had a baby with a 25 years old wife. Strong and healthy.

And some clown just posted up there telling OP it's too late and to add 10 yrs bla blah. The kiddos think life is a joke until it hits them. A 46 yr old male is in is prime so long as you take care of your body and have a positive mental outlook ...

Face your FEAR.

There are a few things you know you can do even with your current limitations but fear won't even let you start.

Face your fears but with open eyes o, no go use motivational speech enter Lion's den. Be wise

simpleseyi:
I restarted mine at the age of 45, today, I have no regret. The ball is in your Court.

You are restarting life at 45. Not surprising. Agbadorians are failures that’s why dem Dey support rubbish.

Your life must be like way Nigeria is under emilokan.

You can start all over again bro, it has not ended until it's ended.
Just be patient,commit your ways to God and He will prosper it
