Not buying land at lekki phase 2 when it was #350k in 2001, instead I bought a passat wagon. Las las, na iron condenm buy the skeleton. My advice to younger me, buy land, even if it is inside swamp.
Same thing with me, one man came to my office in 2012 and discussed about land with me, N100k per plot, I was capable of buying like 5 plots that time, when d man took me there, i condemned the place that the area can never developed but my last ever rented apartment was at same area in 2020 n it was N450k per year. I always regret not buying the land that time

believing in religion
its an endless chase
Religion is real. But it should not stop you from hard work and other practical things you need to get results.

My biggest mistake was not voting Tinubu in 2023. I voted the overrated great-grandfather called Athiechukwu.

But 2027 is another opportunity to write the wrongs.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only hope Nigeria has towards prosperity, not one Adamawa ancestor or one Onitsha main market fraudster.

I hope others learn from it

Are you sure it's about looking well and marrying the right person?Which kind of telescope would you use to look well?
My guy,life is about time and chance, you never know who would turn out good or bad, everyone needs LUCK.
Which part of what I typed there u find very difficult to understand? Go back and read in between the line this time around.


Modified: and then again if it doesn’t work doesn’t mean it can’t work for another. The bible itself has this to say that “ he who finds a wife finds a good thing” if you complain about every woman then i guess u need to have yourself checked.

Women wey get better character Dey na u no find better one.

1) Staying indoor as a child.
2) Not Having a GF as a teenager
3) Not socializing.
4) Being afraid to take risk .
5) Not learning hardwork and not leaving house at 17 or 18
relying on useless school waste of time instead of doing fulltime street hustle

For the young kings, never spend your first big bag on family. I paid so much black tax and ended back where I came from, like I never left because I wanted to be a 'good child'. Paid over 6 million worth of loans for my mum. Spent another 3 million trying to set her up. All went down the drain. Funny thing, the stupid hag keeps calling me for loans I know nothing about. While I am quietly drowning. Lol. I work with my dad. Made profit of about 150m during the period I was trying to set up my mum (thinking my cut from the 100m would be for me to set up myself). My pops bought me an SUV in my name for #13m as a 'surprise'. And that was it. Not even 1 kobo from the 100m for maintenance or fuel. Lol.

My boss I've been working with for about 3 years now. Can't ask for more loyalty. I fucking bashed my SUV from my other hustle, chasing money with my boss, expecting some mad funds to roll in. After we lost over #450m in last minute dropped deals in 2025, I tried not to mount financial pressure on my boss. But tell me why I casually saw payment receipts from 2024 issued by the office to the govt ministry when I did all the work and my boss been acting like the ministry hadn't paid all this while. The job was small sum. #10m. meant to be a start for bigger contracts. And my Voss received #7m since 2024. I didn't even know. Lol.

It hurts. But we live and we learn. Walai. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't treat any of these people the way they treated me.

Last last na only yourself you know.
Am Into same mess, I don't have much, Boss connect me please

Omo if I talk my own, nairaland fit crash and since then, I haven’t been able to tell people but it still makes me 100% bitter.
Re: Name Your Biggest Mistakes So Others Dont Make The Same Mistakes by StoryHaven: 1:34am On Feb 17
Loving my wife, respecting her, and always saying "okay" to all her demands because I always wanted to make her happy.
I later learnt that women dont respect and love a peace loving man. Soft men are always a prey in women's hands.

Speaking from experience.
I learnt it in a very hard way.

It's all good all the same. grin

I had this girlfriend that wanted me to de flower her , she begged while we were both naked. She even told me at the rate am going another man will do it. I insisted we keep it till wedding night. That's my only regret in this life. I should have just done the needful .
If you lost her eventually then it wasn't about breaking her virginity. You would still have lost her to someone else even if you did but only with the consolation of being with her.

For me it was during this one campus protest in varsity, normally during our usual protests, I'd make sure to either position myself at the back, or in the middle of the crowd just so I can easily run for cover the moment the police start throwing their tear gas or firing rubber bullets at us.

That day I don't know what got to me that I positioned myself at the front, I don't know if I was high in the Economic Freedom Fighters Students Command's revolutionary songs or what, because those comrades could sing and their protests carried weight... grin grin grin... One of the things that had me invested in campus politics was their revolutionary music... grin grin grin

The police positioned themselves and as they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas at us, we dispersed for cover and while I was still in the process of taking cover, I was shot twice, one on my thigh and the other on my butt, I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade, and as if that wasn't enough, a third one hit my back and it was a final nail in the coffin... Those things hurt, I spent the entire week sitting with only one butt cheek... That was my biggest mistake.
Funny as hell😸 You attended University of Witwatersrand?

Don't blame yourself too hard. Some might be a function of how your parents raised and ruled the house.
Dont live in regret or self pity, you can correct and change your life now. You have the power ,all you need to do is to decide.
But if you have the power how then will prophecies come true?
