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.
This crack me up! Unless you are valuable to others, no one cares!

Re: Name One Mistake You've Made In Life So Someone Else Doesn’t Make It by StoryHaven:
Loving my Wife so much that I never said NO to any request. She finally used it against me and the worst happened.

Love, but never love to the point of saying yes to every request of a woman.
They don't deserve such.
Most of them respect and love very strict unloving men.
You love them too much, and you become a FOOL.

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.
This guy your advice is great. something our parents did not tell us. and the sad reality of life.

Not having all my kids or children before 30 yrs


Never wait till millions come before you get married
Better than rushing into marriage... except if you don't love the woman you got married to...
Re: Name One Mistake You've Made In Life So Someone Else Doesn’t Make It by nickxtra(m):
A 2 nights quickies with a family female friend which resulted me being infected with a stubborn STD that am still battling with now. As if she knew what she did to me, she has not stepped her feet to our house since then. I have not even got close to my wife since, for fear of infecting her.

...the infection normally scratches me around my private with offensive odour. I will appreciate any medication advice

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.
The most useful information av seen DX year.

Thanks for sharing 😘

Never tell your friends and family members when you are doing so good for yourself. Hates and jealousy are always created especially if you are doing good for yourself. They will always intend you to do for them more after you have assisted them in your little ways. Keep the growth to yourself alone! This is one big mistake I have made so far in my life but I am in the correct phase. When they make money they’ll never inform you because they dislike sharing their fortune with you. It is a life lesson to me.
