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.

I served and was retained by a big bank in Nigeria, but I didn’t cultivate the habit of SAVING. I spent all I earned on cloths, travelling etc… Today I’m not doing badly, but I missed a good opportunity to build wealth early in life. My parents were ok and my girlfriend then was very ok too… no one was asking me for money. I was really good looking so didn’t have to spend much to get girls… (back then ooo) Things have changed now😂😂

Not learning a craft or trade before entering the university was a big mistake for me.though,I later learnt how to repair electric stove on campus in my 100l second semester,I had the extra cash I was craving for.

Student that could Barb hair , make hair, sew clothes , type projects on PC, do electrical, plumbing jobs etc were big boys and girls on campus. They had extra source of income different from what their parents gave them.

This present GenZ age. Before you gain admission into the university learn a computer tech skill . It will help you , you could even buy your dream car while on campus and even get your dream property .

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. undecided

No matter what you do, never date a completely brokgirl. Especially, when entitlement mentality come join the tin.
this is still better than marrying a non virgin

I was too soft, even when I should have been tough and avoid the abuse that came my way.

I just wanted friends, even the one I should have stamped out immediately or given the iron fist.

My God help me forget and forgive.

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.
they said regrets not advise



Why do people have comprehension issues ?

I am not talking about salary earners.... You mustn't earn salary you can creat jobs and earn well....

The world and riches are for entrepreneurs not for salary earners ....


You can't get rich abroad ! Take this from me
