Been born in Nigeria is a mistake and I intend not to bring up my kids in this environment.
If I nor fit travel out of this country, then make I nor just born.
Let everything associated with Nigeria end with me

StoryHaven:
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.

Just don't repeat it (which I know you still will - a simp is a simp!)

Don't smoke colos
Dont try any drugs
Don't take tramadol or rohypnol
Don't take crack or ice or cocaine.......

Either you ruin your finance to sustain the habit or you steal to sustain the habit

e never understand life... people when never understand life dey quick blame others if they fail in something...In life,you can do everything right and still end with bad results.

Oga if you Dey and don’t have a woman you can be proud of then you need to check yourself. Bible sef talk am sey he who finds a wife finds a good thing. So if every woman wey u meet from Jan to December no match you taste then na you get problem.

Returning a lost phone that almost put me in trouble

Not getting a 2:1 from Uni

Helping People with clean heart.

Believing in family.
Hearing that my brother is a r8tualist and still coming back to mingle despite been warned

Sexyrosey:
Getting married to a bitter Alfa male.

Iyaebe?

6. Voting Bola Tinubu despite his alleged criminal record

because you cant manipulate him

Seeplusplus:
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

yes. Nigeria now is Eldorado.

Keep fooling yourself. Your mates in other climes are buying mansiona and properties in the choicest places in Nigeria. You think those white hairs are creyon works . You kid will no doubt tell you that you failed , by then your wife had abandoned a failure in your person

Dating a Yoruba girl and accepting the pregnancy wen she told me she was pregnant.

My mistake is marrying to change her but unknowingly she doesn't need change. Guys be wiser than me when choosing your partner

Thinking time was on my side

fyneboi79:
i was young and naive,but thank goodness I'm good now...marriage has nothing for men,men just labour tirelessly to their early deaths.

marriage favour women more

You only enjoy your marriage when you get money

Women don't joke with money no matter how they loved you

Thank God your perfectly well now

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.

These numbers you mentioned have a way of making one ask God to connect him with you, you know? Lol Sorry about your own regret. However, if you can and convenient for you, abeg connect me.... your own regret na success for some of us

One of my biggest mistake in life is to get married when my both parents were dead. Your number 1, 2 and 3 are me and I barely speak out to people when my uncle told me on my wedding day that i came to wrong family, i knew i missed my parents. The result of the above is a disaster that I'm faced with today. Hopefully I solve it as I always solve my problem my own way.

bayfed:
Taking a girl I met online out yesterday, on reaching, noticing she wasn’t fancying me, i foolishly proceed to place orders, forcing communications, trying to pleased her, until she couldn’t ave it anymore, she left me there in my car. Don’t be like me, leave immediately as soon as you notice the feeling isn’t mutual.

stop taking women out,they are not worth it. Bring her home instead. If she no gree come your house,cut all ties with her.

I agree with you...na only you want the best for yourself,the rest people will always act from the place of selfishness.

I like your kind of person...You pity your unborn children enough,not to bring them into this hellhole.

Mine is: A year or more after NYSC i met a Lady while job hunting in Enugu, at 7up Bottling coy. She took my CV and next thing I saw was an invite in Lagos for an interview. Coincidentally, defunct Oceanic bank had scheduled me for an aptitude test in Enugu, same week as the 7up interview in Lagos.

I wanted to go for the 7up own in Lagos, but my Mom – who at that time, was mourning over the demise of our father, became apprehensive and begged me not to go that far , instead I should consider the bank aptitude test in Enugu, being that it's within the state we lived.

What would a naive boy do...I listened to her and considered going for the bank apt. test in Enugu over the 7up job interview.

Low and behold, the aptitude test was cancelled on the day of the test and never rescheduled. I quickly called 7up to pull one or two strings but was told another person had been considered as I didn't show up. And that's how I lost the two opportunities – family sentiments.

Worst part is that, after I reached out to the lady that assisted me with the opportunity over my situation, she confided that I would have gotten that job anyways but I chose the one nearby.

Well, I forgave my mom, forgave even myself but it's been hard to erase. I'm still paying for it till today doing jobs to jobs.

Lesson: Don't always think the easier, nearer, closer ones are better over distance. There's always a hidden treasure in the hard - to - reach ones

I'm glad you learnt your lesson... don't try to fix women,you will regret it. If you met her a smoker, either you accept her like that or you leave her. Never try to fix a woman, it's not your job.

1. Deviated from God's plan for over 2 decades.
2. Allowed ungodly desires into my life.
3. Noticed my parents' 1981 passport with multiple USA visas, and I am still here.
4. Rejected my aunt in 2003 when she wanted me to move to the UK, and now I wonder if I made the right decision.
5. Gave more attendance to school and skill acquisition.
6. Turned down affordable land offers which later became gold mine.
