Olachase:I am in my mid mid 4os and the best advise i have for you is learn Trade,Skill or travel out .If you dont want to regret your 40s and if you are not from a rich or influential family,move out of Nigeria in your 20s. To get more exposure ,If you cant afford the top 5 countries,You can start from average countries like South Africa,Egypt or countries that dont have strict rules unlike the top 5. |

Jughead29:Wats d big deal in a 40 years old man raising kids. Most Nigerian men in their 40s and 50s are still giving birth and raising kids. |

Y'all need to stop creating this type of threads. By doing this, you're indirectly putting pressure on people in those categories. There's no crime in being unmarried or childless at 40. There are reasons behind everything, don't judge people or make assumptions without knowing why they took certain decisions. |

ZeroWorries:End it all for what reason or purpose? The man should instead focus his mind on getting a job, developing his mind intellectually, emotionally, and socially, and working on his health at the same time. Problem solved! ![]() |

Truth is that there are many 40 yrs and above without those things mentioned, but they are fine and living life the way they can. You can start well, get married, have degrees, have job, have kids and all that, but one accident or carelessness of others can end it all. we've seen entire families wiped out in air and road disasters, yet life continues. While it's good to aim towards achieving one's goals before 40yrs, let's not judge or stigmatize those who haven't 'arrived'.. it's today we know, nobody knows tomorrow. |

You are 40, single and no degree. But some people didn't live to see 40. Life is in phases. Whatever phase you find yourself, if you are happy with it, good! And if not, do something about it. For most people, life has become really competitive and a lot of people find themselves below their expectations. |

You have only one problem. The problem is that you're unemployed. If you have a job, you'll proceed into marriage. After marriage you'll have a child or children. Intensify effort to get a job. Other challenges will be settled |

Absolutely, nothing is wrong, but you'll know when your mates are already enjoying the fruits of their labour while your kid is still in the school demanding for money when all your strength are worn out foleskay: |

ZeroWorries:You dare not end it all because so much glory awaits you once you cross that bridge. If you end it all and think you're free, what of your loved ones that are interceding for you day in, day out and know that your breakthrough is near. Lean IT related skills or something. Don't allow those frenemies rejoice over your kpai oooo. May the universe guide you wherever you are and favor shall open those doors for you. Remember little beginnings matter too. A child first learn how to crawl before walking, then running. Shalom. 💕 |

ZeroWorries:It can be worrisome but why worry over something you can at least plan and do something about it's never too late infact marriage is not a yardstick for how successful a man is , we have seen world famous celebrities who are still unmarried even here in Nigeria |

Olachase:I feel your pain. When I was 29 and looking forward to 30. I was so depressed 😔. 23 upward I was happy I'm aging. 29 I couldn't hold back my inner tear. I looked at my mates, many have settled down and achieve few or other things. Some that don't even have fat income have littered the ground with children. All I had that time was myself. Nothing but myself. But I determined to keep going. Even if I will lose my life trying to be better me without going illegal. I was ready for it. My mind was made of stone. I had nothing with me. It was here on nairaland I was encouraged by a trailer driver who made a thread about his life journey that made me tried to venture into it. I followed trailer for quite a year before my boss got issue with our company. I didn't let that stopped me. I still went to Lagos looking for trailer to work with. It was fruitless. Man gar nothing again and I have to run into poultry as a worker. I still found the link from nairaland. Today I'm 32 without family of my own. But all I could say is I'm more grateful. I'm now in diesel distribution and site maintenance for mobile network service in Nigeria. Savings is coming and tomorrow seems will be colorful. It's not yet the end when we can still breathe. Just don't fill your mouth with more than you can chew at a time. |
