Dtruthspeaker:
If you are a virgin, Fear God and obey Him.See that thing called fornication, Run from am.

For virgin girls, know that non virgins are your worstest enemies. They must set you up to throw away your virginity including having you raped.

Now for virgin boys, if they can do this to virgin girls, why would they not throw themselves even freely to have you bleep them? Whether aunty, mama or married women, both too beautiful and ugly. All of them are coming for you. So don't think yourself lucky that women are pursuing. It is wolves that are pursuing you sheep.

So note this one in addition to the other ones people will tell you
..will konji allow them? 🙄

It your food like it's your medicine. Avoid drinking and smoking. Exercise daily. Maintain a good weight. Don't result to self medication. Always try to stay healthy

Just food and exercise?
No career goals?

My candid piece of advice to those in their 20's today is,to try and match their educational qualifications with marketable skills and focus more on the vitals of life rather than the trivials.

Face your education mak3 money and leave women alone

Chase the bag drastically before you chase love. If you not get it, forget about it . But honestly, don't play with your 20's whilst chasing the bag. Love is a distraction and will change your focus.

No matter the advice you get here,you must make mistakes that you would learn from. Make those mistakes earlier so you have more time to learn from them. See the world as a battlefield where only the strongest survives.Everyone is putting themselves first so you also put yourself first. Do not waste money,make every money work for you. The best investment you can make is on yourself. Be selfish with your time and resources.Trust nobody. Be your own best friend,learn to enjoy your company. Embrace solitude,there are special lessons and wisdom only solitude can provide. In this phase,clarity is granted. You see people for what they truly are. Avoid religion,that shit will mess up your mind. Do not take women seriously cos they are unserious people. Keep your winnings and losses private.if people know you are winning they envy you,if they know you are losing,they mock you. Trust me, you would not want to be envied or mocked. Stay mysterious and dangerous.

1.Focus on your studies and make sure you at least graduate with solid grades.

2.If you have other talents nurture and grow them.

3.Stay away from drugs,cigarettes and excess alcohol.

4.If you must womanise,do so in moderation and do it with a sense of responsibility.

5.Strive as much as possible to be independent before you hit 30.

6.Settle down with a woman whose love for you is greater than the love you have for her.Don’t make mistake in marriage, it will break you.

7.You should start having kids before you hit 35.


8.Be conscious of your spiritually and know that all good things comes from our creator.

Whatever we may tell you is what you just have heard before now.
At 20 you are now an adult and will make your own mistakes. It is on you to clean them up and continue in life.

At 40+ we are still leaning on life too and we don't believe we are qualified to model you after our instructions. We are all in a race to the end of time

If you ask me again.
Face life, embrace your challenges and over come them with the wisdom you have acquired in 20 years
this is very nice but you copied it from AI

i have a lot to say on this topic, but i will be brief

In your twenties always have intentions before embarking on anything

Learn a skill before you go to college.

Make sure in your teenage or early twenties you have started making little money.

That thing or activity that gave you that money, turn it into a passion and sell your hustle to people, because the earlier you start. the more grounded you become going into the future as people know you to that skill or hustle.

There is no bad hustle as long as you are breaking no law.

Nobody is coming to save you. No help is coming from anywhere. You are all that you have got.

Children are loved unconditionally, women are loved unconditionally but a man is loved by only what he can offer.

Never marry any girl that broke with you no matter the reconciliation unless the father becomes Dangote, governor or president.

The comments tho, some of those dishing out advice here are still figuring it out in life cos no amount of money one will have and be satisfied with it...

However, whatever you do in life, put God first (prayer is key) he's your creator, talk to him

Secondly, exercise, don't live a sedentary lifestyle, it helps no one

Thirdly, if you can avoid alcohol, smoking, betting: please do...

Fourthly, learn either soft or hard skill, it will help you.

Fifthly, do not force a relationship be it with women or men.

In addition; be open minded.

Don't make the fatal mistake of comparing yourself with others.

When you are original and pursue your unique goals, you will be admired and loved by some and envied and hated by others.

This is normal in life.
