Name one mistake you have made in life so someone else doesn’t do it.

Falling in love to the extent of buying fone for a girl. Easy buy for that matter ooo. And the broke girl dey expect me to always call her.

No matter what you do, never date a completely brokgirl. Especially, when entitlement mentality come join the tin.

Believing the fallacy that "all men are created equal".

If you eventually quite smoking, don't ever go back to it ....

Going to university

Why not tell us yours.

Never date a girl from a broke family they are always in a relationship for survival not genuine love

Failing to realise early enough that even fools grow old. Thus not all words from an elder are wise words.

Don’t put your trust on anyone I repeat don’t put your trust on anybody.

People pleasing, rather than God pleasing. 😢😥

Just do it... Whatever needs to be done. Never overthink the move. Fail or win. U live U learn. Do it now not later

The world doesn't care about you and think about you as much as you think of yourself and for yourself.

Make out of that what you wish.

Na trust.
Some people I took as good friends and confidants really do me strong thing.
Omo,I no fit trust anybody in this life again,no matter who you are.

Never date a "broken man". Young lady, you are not a mechanic. If his parents couldn't fix him, what makes you think you could? (Same advise can apply to dating a broken lady too.


If he cheats once, leave and dont look back. They don't change. Same can be applied to women too


Be entangled with an emotionally intelligent man, else you would be frustrated into madness.


Do not form friendship or sisterhood/brotherhood at work. Do your job and go home.

Do well what is worth doing. Our deeds have a way of coming back to us.

Do not befriend people below your intellectual and emotional level, else you would be emptied. And completely drained out.

Marrying a religious woman is my biggest regret in life.

Not leaving Nigeria very early in life. I should have been talking about retiring from anything work or business if I had left Nigeria at say 23 years of age.


Not digging gold when I got married. If I had married the politician daughter they recommended and linked me to, I would have been at least a House of Reps member today. But I felt I didn't want to marry someone whose father would be influencing my marriage, that was a huge mistake. If you see such opportunity as a single young man reading this, please grab it fast, all those rubbish mentality I had then was a huge mistake jareh, their influence will not last forever, at most 10 years.


To all single guys reading, whenever you want to marry, please if you see gold dig it very well. Love is a fallacy, don't marry just because of love or physical beauty or any other nonsense reason like big nyash, sex, etc. The girl's parents and family status matters a lot, if you think you dont need it now, you will need it tomorrow. Look at Ebuka Obi, he dug his gold perfectly by going for Young Shall Grow Motor's owner daughter. Even if Ebuka likes today he can squander all his wealth, his father-in-law's wealth will still keep his children wealthy for life because Young Shall Grow will definitely will a lot of assets to his daughter, Ebuka's wife and even her kids, I will do same for my daughter and her kids.



And to the young graduates still claiming Nigeria will favor me, continue deceiving yourself, your parents said the same thing, all the wealthiest Nigerians you see today once migrated abroad or lived abroad, majority of them, so if you see any opportunity to leave Nigeria, do so fast, the earlier the better for you. Leave fast, work, save, invest back in Nigeria via real estate, hotels, nightclubs, lounges, gym centers, avoid rentage building investment.


Also look for a trusted relative or friend, there is always one or two trusted relative or friend that wont rip you off, work with him or her, leverage on the two locations you know; the developed country you live and Nigeria by buying used things there, load in a container, add some tokunbo cars and send to Nigeria to resell....over time hire or rent or build a warehouse in a good city location, so you will be known for that and you will be sending these used items with container on regular basis and you have carved out a business niche for yourself to keep you busy when you decide to retire back in Nigeria.

Op didn't say you should give advice Juliet, he said tell us your experiences that others may learn.

Now, can you tell us your experiences or you want to send it to my DM?

Always staying at home

Go out there mingle, observe and learn

Join them if it brings good will

1. Most opportunities won't come twice.
2. Nobody really cares about you.
3. Don't try to please anyone but God.
4. As a lady, if your blood group is anything O, like O+, O- do not hesitate to get married early because child bearing might be difficult in your late 20's and thirties. unless you don't really care about kids. Avoid abortion at all cost while you're young!
5. Avoid anything friends!
6. Just because someone is smiling with you doesn't mean that they love you, perhaps if you see what's in their heart, you'll forever avoid them.
7. Don't just assume that connection will come to you. Go out! Meet new people, anything good can come out of it.
8. Don't ever take your security for granted, wherever you live, make sure it's well secured, don't keep your pots of cooked rice or whatever close to your kitchen windows. Even the neighbours aren't to be trusted sometimes.
9. Whenever you call any electrician or anyone to come and fix something in your house, do not be so quick to leave, stay there with them and monitor every thing. Don't give them food, let them work and leave.
10. Never tell people your sources of income or what you earn, not even family members.


Let me stop here for now.

Trying to be good to people when you cannot afford to, simply because you don't want them to see you as a bad person.

Take advantage of "TIME".
You are aging faster than you think.

I don't even have any regret

Don't plan with money that u re promised...

If u try am, u fit enter gbese

Strange mentality

You don't want accountability.

Using ebuka as example with statements like even if he finishes his father wealth, he can leech off his wife's parents wealth.

That is the mentality of someone who hate accountability and wants soft landing.

You only want to benefit from other people sweat. Parasite mentality. Most wealthy people will be scared to give their daughter to you because you can destroy what they built

When you JAPA, don’t come back to Nigeria because you have made small money or thinking you will do a business or invest etc…

It took me a decade to correct this mistake 😔
