Don't depend on anyone, just assume you're alone in this world and hustle without looking back......See anything someone gives you as a bonus. ( I didn't mean you shouldn't appreciate gifts o)


And always have this at the back of your mind.........

(1)Know the sexual history of any partner you are about to date through lab. tests, making rvt compulsory if you intend to consolidate the relationship(genotype is inevitable for compatibility).

(2)Don't smoke,don't do drugs and drink moderately.

(3) Prioritize protein in food,hence never loose your muscle mass.Therfore, exercising is very good.

(4)When you show interest in a woman,let it be reciprocal. Action and reaction are equal but opposite.Never force it.

(5)Tell nobody your progressive plan in life, except the person is a catalyst to it and always take everyone by surprise.

(6)Never date a broke girl.

(7) Avoid a greedy girl in relationship.

People assume a lot of things which are not necessarily true

1. Not every father is wise or a good father r wants gis son to be better
2. Anything you will eventually need like women and money, bro, you better chase it. Nothing you want will come to you, you will need to search and look for it and chase it
Even the good book says he who finds a good wife, it doesnt drop in your laps, you search and find it
Except you want to be more specific and say avoid overspending on women or carrying OS
Waiting for something or someone to find you is passive and is the feminine role not for Men !!!
This your last line shed more light on it. Do mean if I see a girl I like I should chase her? Even if I'm not financially where I want to be?

Or how to navigate life
If you are born into a poor family background, as in, your parents are not rich, please don't marry just because of love.

Love is a fallacy that led so many men into marrying ladies that ended up hampering their lives and keeping them poor or dragging them backward on daily basis.



If your parents are not rich as a guy, marry with purpose and future in mind.


Go for financial, career, business focused lady.


Marry a lady with the potential of helping you become better financially not one that will drain you and take you back to square one.


In summary, if your parents are not rich, when you want to marry as a young man, consider:


1.) The girls family background

2.) The girls career or job

3.) Her source of income

4.) Her academic background

5.) If she have a western country passport to help you Japa if push comes to shove

6.) Is she financially wise and smart


7.) Is she a money maker or a layback, lazy, unambitious girl that just want to eat, sleep, have sex, get pregnant and give birth and be monitoring you her husband to know how many girls you are chasing outside. If she is one run for your life

8.) Until you have secured a good job, career or established a thriving business, don't ever keep a girl in your house. Don't have a live in girlfriend. Let her come and go. She must not spend more than 2 days in your house until you re ready to settle down.


9.) Make use of condom a habit as a single guy until you marry to avoid marrying the wrong girl out of pressure of "I am pregnant"

Life is not fair to anyone, you need to learn how to deal with it like others

Love yourself first before loving others. That shouldn't be restricted it only relationship, also friendship and family as well
Hmmm good one.
I can now reason the motivation behind most if not all, of your comments on niraland.

As for 1) a father is human but every father wants his son to do better than him. it does not mean his advice is always right but it comes from a good place. most fathers want their sons to be better versions of themselves, most mothers see their children as insurance policies in old age.....fact!

2) if you focus on money or women they will control and derail you. You clearly havent experienced success. if you have you will know women chase successful men. The woman you are chasing is chasing a successful man. If you were successful you wouldn’t have to chase her. As for money, if you do the right things money will come. you are clearly too simple minded to understand. Money is a result of certain actions, if you perform those actions money always comes. Please the good book that says he who finds a wife doesnt mean chase every girl you see. You wont find her. because the woman that make good wives are not found on the streets. They are usually a result of mutual friends etc. Most of the women you chase in clubs and church etc are actually the women you should run away from.

Please also note that you have to understand how to read the Bible, the bible describes the qualities of a good wife before it says he who finds a wife finds a good thing because the bible knows women are dangerous creatures. the Bible knows that women are plenty but good ones are few, that is why finding a wife is a described as a giood thing. Note the Bible did not say he who finds a woman , it says wife and it describes what a wife is. The same Bible actually advices single men not to marry but those who are married not to divorce. so dont take that quote literately that you should go around looking for a wife!

the more you chase the more these things elude you. i did not say sit down in one place and wait for money or women, if you do that you arent doing the right things.

You study hard you get a good job the good job is a result of studying
You go to a good school. you make good contacts the good contacts are a result of going to a good school
you study hard and go to a good school, you get a good job, a good job leads to good money and good opportunities. taking your job seriously and doing the right thngs leads to promotions, promotions lead to more opportunities, more opportunities and exposure leads to more money.

if you are a good tailor and you take your job seriously and dilligently, referrals will come from satisfied customers. You may have one high profile customer who recommends you to all his friends and as a result money comes. This is because you were professional in the aplication of your craft. if you instead see yourself as a hustler and over charge your customer because of money and do a bad job because or swindle him, he wont come back and that 1 customer may have been the customer that could change your life. apart from that your regular customers will stop patronising you or wont recommend you because you are too focused on money.

this is what i mean when i say money and success will come if you do the right things. in fact one of the great lessons in life is that the more you chase something the more it eludes you.

if you chase money, you will do yahoo yahoo or other crimes because money is your objective.

Op, never spend your last Naira because then you'll be broke. Save, save, save, stay away from gold diggers. Money makes money invisibly. Never trust a big yansh and a smile 😃 Don't gamble, the odds are against you. Play positive affirmation recordings as much as possible. Give charity to those in need, not some rich smooth talker quoting scripture.

Create your own life path and encrypt it. This entails postulating and inculcating your own life philosophy and building everything else around it. Everything else might become useless to you at some point in life, especially money, when you accumulate it in abundance or life challenges might take you to the rock bottom of your existence, but your philosophy, if well grounded, will always be there to serve as your major source of hope, strength, and happiness. 

And in all you do, always remember that absoluteness is of God and one he's with is the majority - you should find a better way that suits you to revere him always. You'll understand this better if you can do away with religion and enact your own concept of him.
