When I was told years back when I was still young to learn work I refused. I prefered roaming the street with my peers surviving on community deve, But now I see the importance, because the situation of this country is getting difficult everyday.
Together with the new tax law. As a security guard, only me and God knows what I take in in a month, come next year with Tax deducted. How Wil I be able to survive.
I have come to the conclusion it's better for me to do something and I am thinking about going into barbing atleast with that I will be paid in cash and since it's almost festive period. Although my age is still there but I believe I can still cope with it. The issue is approaching this young men I don't know if they will turn me down. Already tried one that barbs in my area from the way he spoked he took it as a joke. When I told him I was serious, he didn't respond anymore.

Well, it is never too late to begin making better decisions in life. So long as you hunger and thirst for food and water, you should be able to learn new things...anything necessary to help aid you in acquiring your daily bread.🥱🥱🥱

sure you can. your hunger for success starts Frm the mind.
though strength and agility may not be on ur side like that. so whatever you choose to learn let it not be a tough job that will take a toll on you physically.

Thank you very much. I believe I am strong enough, it same way standing all day have been doing for sometime now as a security guard.

No time is late.goodluck sir.

Learn taxi services. There's no age restriction in it

You can learn from YouTube

My brother, it is never too late o.....we are able to learn new things for as long as our brain and physical health is able. Soon enough, we will stop paying for simple tasks and embrace DIY to save cost of living o. It is well.

If you still know how to dissect eba and Eweedu, learning any skills at any age should not be any problem for you.

Why not look for something like Fufu making. In my area, it's matured people that do the business and the one in my compound has 2 adult interns and one has just gotten his shop (he should be over 45).

Sorry to ask but as an Omo Onile, didn't you have empathy for those you were extorting?
What have you done to ensure that young men don't engage in extortion in your area from honest people trying to build shelter for themselves.

Bros,Nigeria can dull your dreams just follow your instincts now that u are eager and willing to venture into a new thing entirely.

I just hope u didn't kill anyone then...because my advice can never work for u if u had used ur agbero life to do such crime.

What happened to community development, money no dey am again? Where are those peers today? Are they looking for jobs too or relying on their children?

Barbing is a matter of constant practice. Buy clippers and stand under a mango tree. Tell potential customers that you can only perform a buzz cut. Collect subsidized payments while using their heads to practice. In boarding house, many apprentice barbers used our heads to learn. The most common Nigerian haircut is a buzz cut. You go dey all right, last last.

If your intentions are true.
I would be glad to support your hustle with a brand new clipper. And if I we see your passion towards your new decision, things would get better for you. Wish you well Sir!

No best time to start

Some people can be foolish sha. The man was asking for advice on how to improve his life legally and some seemed more interested in taking a jibe at him.

What do you think you're doing to those in the same shoes as the man? Small time dem go dey blame those who do evil things to make money.

It can be sensible sometimes to just not comment about some things. A foolish man who is quiet can be (mis)taken for a wise man, so says the Holy Book (I think).

It's essential to consider the age limit in the barbing saloon business when choosing a career path. Developing skills that will remain valuable in the long run, such as taxi driving or plumbing, can provide stability even in your 70s.

Go and look for what will be given you steady income so that you will be able to provide for your wife not tomorrow you run come here to start shouting DNA. @52 you are looking for handwork to learn

Try get a taxi, if you know how to drive. That will sustain you till even your 70s.
