Mine:

1. Putting others before my life...while others actually put their lives first.

2. If you live in a public yard, you must understand that your neighbours aren't your emergency family members.

3. Avoid taking things on credit from shops close to where you live.

4. You really do not owe anyone an explanation when you say NO to their requests.

5. Learn to speak not talk.

6. You are the most important person to you in this world. Remember that.

7. Don't let them kill you!

8. Learn when it's apt to walk away.

9. Set boundaries. Whether they call it pride or whatever, they will respect you.

10. Overthinking will only get you sick. Start doing whatever you can.

11. You really do not need to recruit others to hate someone you hate with you.

12. Some relationships should be valued by you than always trying to be right always.

13. Drink clean water always. Eat good food. Sleep when needed. It's your health. If you can ensure your car gets sealed engine oil and better fuel for efficiency, how much more your body?

14. You don't need to lie to refuse lending money to someone; a simple "I don't have" is accurate. You don't need to attach a reason..damn it's your money!!

And it is also very necessary to collect collateral or they put it in paper. If they refuse, it's ok to let them fck off. A lot of borrowers have no conscience.

15. Avoid too many friends. If possible, avoid it completely. When your are becoming more successful, too many friends and you are closer to your grave.

16. It's not everyone you should bring to your house. This is very important.

17. Refuse binge drinking or eating outside. It's a one-way ticket to hell.

18. Ensure you know how to respond to peer pressure bullies.

19. Buy what you can afford...everything depreciates..

Life is full of mistake. Making one doesn't make anyone a failure.

I offer research writing services. View my profile for more.

Writing Jamb multiple times in anticipation for a medical course...I should have accepted the course given to me when I first applied. I just wasted those years waiting.

I avoided female friends even when I had become an adult.

I met responsible girls who genuinely love me, but I did not give them chance to get close to me. Some of them, after being taken by other men, confronted and blamed me for letting them go. They said they died in silence because the prevalent culture in our society makes it abnormal for girls to take the lead in starting a romantic relationship.

The first girl I dated was the one that asked me out. She spent on me and never allowed me to spend on her. One day, she collected the money I gave her, bought something worth of 20 Naira and returned the balance to me. She said she just wanted to prove to me that she was not rejecting things that came from me. She said she wanted to be the one spending, just to appreciate me. She said all she wanted was for me to love her as she loves me. She occasionally said to me, "One day, you will leave me". Each time she said it, she wept. So many things happened and she got married after some years.

Now, I search and wish I allowed one to dominate me then. Many of them still check on me and wish me well. But who knows tomorrow? Maybe the best is yet to come.

I regret alot of things but I wouldn't change anything if I had a chance to.
These experiences are part of living

Hmmmmmm!
O lo far!

I hope I can forgive myself.

Thanks for sharing this.

For those who have not begun gambling, don't start. It will render you useless.

I had friends who gambled and even wanted I joined. Then, they would even want me to escort them to the centres to play and even come show me when they are winning. My stand has always been: "even if you show me a way to win ₦1bn from gambling and someone else does it and wins in my front, I won't still do it."

I haven't, but i reduce the urge by avoiding erotic contents in films, social media etc

It's definitely the adult films. It would make you start to x-ray women you meet...their body features..and fantasizing the sexperience you have watched.

It's ok to reduce it too.

Hmmm...I'm still thinking, trying to decide which is my worst mistake

hmm

Not knowing Jesus from childhood down to teenage age...

Nothing. M

Not changing all my naira to dollars when GEJ was president

trusting Nigerian girl

Blindly trusting business associates/partners with my money!

I Left Nigeria in my mid 20s, completed my MSc with a fully funded scholarship in UK, the son of poor naija civil servants o! Used my two legs to come back to Nigeria. My European girlfriend discouraged me from returning, she told me we should get married, I said no, I struggled for over a decade believing hardwork and merit in Nigeria will get me there. I was interviewed many times by several government agencies in Nigeria but never got the job, today I sit in my 40s licking my wounds. My naija friends that were friendly while I was there have vanished. Some have humiliated me before leaving when it seemed to them the tunnel I am in has no end to it. My biggest undoing in life is I believed too much in this country. Today, my peers that stayed back in UK are doing very well as citizens. I am trying very hard not to give up. Still strategizing. It's hard but deep down in me, I know I have learnt so much. Too much to not make it in the end. I pray for God to grant me long life.

Leaving Nigeria for UK for my masters immediately after graduation. Mistake.

Hmm

Greatest move in life was avoiding belonging to a office occult group where they worship marine spirit and pay blood sacrifice in UK(Ugele Kingdom).

I bet you thought that once you acquire a Master's degree you will automatically get a job as a manager in a blue chip company even though you had no work experience
