7 Things Every Man Must Know Before He Clocks 40 by daewoorazer(m): 5:04am On Mar 27, 2018
Few days ago, I stressed out some important 7 things every man must know before he clocks 30. Wouldn't it be selfish to end it there?

The link is below should you have missed it.

https://www.nairaland.com/4416982/7-things-every-man-must

This article points out every thing men need to know before becoming a quadragenarian.


1. It is the Beginning of the rest of your life.


According to the latest WHO data published in 2015, life expectancy in Nigeria is: Male 53.4.

http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/nigeria-life-expectancy

It’s safe to say it’s the start of the remaining half. By this time you should draw a map of how you want your retirement to be.

2. Have a business alongside job:

It doesn’t matter if you work as the CEO of Chevron Nig., your business is your physical, financial and intellectual property. You’d retire from government/public job someday but your business is your legacy. One you can fix your children into her board of directors when old age sets in. Learn from Baba Davido.



3. Write your will:

Yes, your will. I’m not wishing you dead neither am I wishing you bad. It doesn’t matter if your life savings is 1 naira, get yourself a good and affordable lawyer and pen it down.

4. Be close to your kids:

At this age, your kids are probably under 10. The love you show them at this age range goes a long way. If you ain’t close to them at this age, it doesn’t matter if you pamper/babysit them for the rest of their lives, they might hate you.


5. Retire from youthful exuberance:

you should be a father by now. If you still sag your pants at this age, or probably still keep 2-5 girlfriends, I’m afraid........



6. Join a social club:

I don’t mean clubs like quilox nor places to drink yourself to stupor. There are clubs where responsible adults meet to play golf, swim and socialize. This gathering is a form of security for you and your wards. Good clubs as such protect their members when sacked from work, solve problems for their members and extend these services to their wards after the demise of their members. Such a good club have members representing all professions in Life; you’d find doctors, military officials, lecturers, motor dealers, engineers etc. It should be a club you can always call on a member colonel to put your son who is passionate about military through. It should also be a club you can easily get a member SAN/lawyer to help you do your legal sturvz. NEVER a place to practice occult activities.
If you still don’t get the picture by now, I’m afraid...

7. Know your medical menace:

At this age you should have an idea if you are tending towards diabetes or obesity. Your knowledge of this will keep you abreast of possible old age menace. Don’t wait until you start seeing ants waiting with straws to gulp down your urine before you realize you have a family history of diabetes. It’d be too late sir!

Once again, It is the beginning of the rest of your life, it is your call, even though you are a billionaire, to live it like RMD or a vegetable. The ball is in your court.

No 3 write your will.

Unfortunately so many Nigerians has no food or shelter at this age and some can't even boast of #50k in their accounts. I wonder what they'll write as their will.



Nevertheless, I know one man that has written his will. He's no other person than MUMUmmadu BUgari. In his will he wrote.


1. I will make Nigeria ungovernable cheesy

2. Baboon and monkeys (Nigerians) will soak with blood.

3. Attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the Northerners.

4. I will make $1=#1.

5. I will pay lazy Nigerian youths #5k per month.

cheesy everything about him is 'I WILL cheesy

4. Be close to your siblings:

At this age, your kids are probably under 10. The love you show them at this age range goes a long way. If you ain’t close to them at this age, it doesn’t matter if you pamper/babysit them for the rest of their lives, they might hate you.

Daewoorazer kindly define the word siblings in the context of your write up.

Nigerians like using words which they do not know the meaning just to show how educated they are.


Modified**** All of you quoting me are the reason why people like Chris okotie and patrick Obahiagbon cannot make a sentence without using words that will make you run to your dictionary. We always need to be sure we know the meaning of words before using them. Using 'big' words don't show you have a good command of English most times it just exposes you inferiority complex.

The quote above is the op's original write up before he amended it. The op from his response did not deny it but claimed it was a typographical error aka typo in Nigeria.

Professor nutase, I am sure you are the most educated in Nigeria and a very perfect person, of a fact, you don't make typos, however, I make typos and that's what keeps me in check - I'm still human.

Peace


Modified:
Cc nutase

These are few out of prof nutase’s grammatical blunders. I guess she is a professor of English. Her lexical command of English is perfect I guess grin

why doesn’t she know the difference between ‘had’ and ‘heard’?

Also ‘family’s’is not the same as ‘families’








The second screenshot

1. Living is not leaving
2. She really created a singular vs plural war.

Have you learnt your lesson yet or should I continue?

Sometimes humility and patience will save you from becoming another Mama peace.

Peace!

this is not atypo. Admit it when you are wrong. A typo is a spelling error but this is a misuse of a word.

Things don't seem too good for both sexes. U mean that at 40 ones kids are probably under 10? but it might interest u to know that many beautiful women at that age are still single and many of them have never had sex, not to talk of having children at that age. Even many guys are only beginning to settle down at that age, because of the economic realities orchestrated by d evil leadership of our past leaders
