Funny enough, I started enjoying life after I turned 30.

Prior to then, I was suffering. The long hours of studying in school and the endless worry of what the future holds almost ate me up.

Run away from sin and watch ur life become stress free.
See Religious illusions grin. Life is a Respecter of no one. You will Collect and Concede from life one way or the other. Whether you Sin or not.

Pushing it,
Can't quit,
No life partner,
Can't complain, Life cannot be fair to everyone,
Trying to be a man.

For a man or woman?

For a man its tough, unless you are from a united wealthy family that can soak up most of the blows life punches at you.

If you are like the average Nigerian, then it is a miracle if there is peace in your family, because peace and poverty are hardly found in the same place.

Financial pressure everywhere, from yourself and family, especially your parents who are weak and hoped you can carry on from where they stop, and do a better job than them.

If you are the first child, you don enter am. You are basically a parent to your parents and siblings. Most of your income will go to them.

You will notice that its easier now to get fat, because as we grow older, our metabolism decreases, and the body store most of the food we eat, making you look chubby, then rounded, then overweight.

The pressure to settle down will begin to mount up, and your best time would be in the past, when you were young, no responsibilities, and ignorant. Ignorant is happiness.

You will struggle to be happy, and your esteem will be bruised because the women that you find attractive, will not like you. You are probably not their speck, even if on an objective basis, you are doing better than them.

They you will arrive at a bitter conclusion that women are not looking for a good man doing fine, but for a wealthy man, with the hope that he is a good man. Accepting you are average will be painful, but you need not live in delusions.

Remember those uncles that gave you 500 naira and biscuit when youre young, now you will be the uncle to their own kids.

People will be watching you, and if any improvement shows up in your life, it will attract request for assistance left and right, that due to self preservation, you will cut off some route from your path, and your whatsapp ''last seen'' status turned to invisible, or just go ghost mode.

Then you will come to appreciate your solitude, and realise that the only time you are free and can be yourself is when you are alone. When you were young, your father forced you to sleep, now you will be very happy to find time to sleep.

You will now also understand why young people fill the clubs, because the 30's and above are at home and actually enjoying the rent they paid heavily for. At best, a bar to drink and talk will hold more value than clubs.

You will now learn to appreciate your father and see clearly that he tried to raise maybe five kids, and handled it for decades. It will make it easy for you to forgive him for all the shortcomings you thought he had.

He was once your superman, but now, you can see clearly that he was just trying his best, and its your turn to go through that same route.

I wasn’t supposed to quote u. But I just had to let u know I am a living example, since I began my best to live life the right way I felt the universe aligning with my thoughts and life has been somewhat easy for me.

I'm just pointing out your ignorance. Is it even possible for one not to Sin at all? No unless you're a monk. So if what works for you doesn't work for someone else you'd say they are cursed right?

With age and experience this conversation will make sense to you someday and you will realize living a principled and disciplined life is much easier than we think once you involve God in the equation. The Bible says “In righteousness shall ye be established”.

I beg to differ. Everything declines only when you stop developing ur self. Stagnation causes decline.
People age! You don't get to live life backwards! Life is declining from our birth! Age is the path to declining. I appreciate the motivation speech but nature doesn't care for it. We are born to die!

Well here you are engaging a good example. Today I look so much younger, stronger and mentally sharp than I was in my 20”s, but all this didn’t come easy, I had to work my ass off for it. I will advise all men in their 20’s to focus more on taking care of themselves, than being in a relationship or early career. Know yourself first and everything follows. You see that thing called sex? It ages men faster than anything and weakens the bone and mind, remain celibate till marriage or control it extremely to the barest minimum as a man, it’s for your own good. This isn’t any motivational speech, I’m speaking from personal experience.

I agree! But 20 to 35 is the best years of your life! I'm sorry for you'llz struggles but the rest of the world is enjoying their youth! You will never be 20/35 Again! If you couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't enjoy your youth then I'm sorry!


I've enjoyed my youth without expectations!

Tough without helper
you had better not corner yourself in to a state of helplessness. It is a usual losers belief. Live your life as if your destiny lies in your hands. It is true to a great extent.

Almost all who express your belief achieve nothing because they have programmed their mind to fail because a phantom helper is not coming.

A sensible subject for once. Though i fall in middle age, I can speak about this age range as we've passed through successfully.

Your 20"s and 30's are the years to put in the work. Focus, grind and keep grinding. Know what you want and go for it.

In your 20's, If you've made a mistake in the course you read, now is the time to start looking for a skill or trying to specialise in a more productive line. For example, you can start attempting more lucrative professional courses etc.

This is the time you are allowed to make relationship mistakes, fall for fukcboys or girls, be deceived by others etc. This is a learning curve.

By your 30's, you should start staying away from random sex and wasting time drinking and partying or mixing with unambitious people. Build a network of like minded friends. Hopefully, you should be stable in a career or business and should be thinking of a family. This is assuming you have used your 20's properly and have don't have bad luck.

If you plan properly in your 30's especially financially and you are not met by bad luck, your 40s and above should be quite decent. Keep taking care of your body as that is your temple.
