Dandsome:
You can never be financially stable in your 20s if you schooled in a public Nigerian university

I schooled in one, a very bad one for that matter. Yet I'm doing fine. It's all about mindset.
You'll see 25-year-olds who still beg their parents for money, like i said. It's about mindset. Supposed to explain but the cold is too much

quentin06:


now thats a fallacy, cos nigerian girls from rich homes do the same.

Only girls who work legitimately for their own money are financially prudent. The rest have been spoilt by Naija guys or rich parents so they go around thinking money can be plucked from trees

CioAngels:
He is not telling them to be lazy, majority of them have good jobs, if they say they don't have for unbudgeted shopping does not make them broke guy. A wise young boy in his 20s will run away from such girls who does not have bus stop.

Of cause he's not advising our youths to be lazy. Financial stability is not all about having a good job. It's a thing of the mind. Ok take for a yardstick a young guy that has a good job that pays well but because his mind has told him that no youth in his 20s can be financially stable he lavishes his money on frivolities waiting for his 30s to begin to aim towards financial stability. I won't be surprised if in his 40s he becomes a pauper but identifying these girls without bus stop is a herculean task on it's own.

couragemurphy:
Another negative mindset n excuse for lazy youths.

I got married in my 20s
Had my 1st child in 20s
2nd child at 30
Bought up to 3 cars b4 30
Already a landlord in 2 different cities b4 30
Etc

I have said it before that prosperity is more of a mental thing.......even though it is not common here in Nigeria doesnt mean pple are not super rich in their 20s. I am talking of legit riches n also not inherited.

You will never see the need of challenging yourself to financial freedom if you already believe you cant make it big in your 20s.

Stop being lazy n negative Naija Yoots

Even with your hardwork and qualifications, it takes the Grace of God or a lucky break to make it at that age.
I'm sure you know there are lots of guys who work way harder than you with little to show for their efforts so financial stability is necessarily as a result of how hard you work.

capspeter:
I was so disappointed when I saw this thread, and even more disappointed when I read the comments of most people here.

We really need to change our mindset, it's too negative and myopic.

I know alot of guys in their 20s, who are financially ok but I can only talk about myself.

I changed my mindset while I was in 3rd year in the university, had to let go of my first class pursuit, and face life. I got into importation, with N5000 I had then.

Fast forward to today.

Am still in my 20s,

I have a wife and a kid
Currently building my house in the city
I have 10graduate employees
My monthly gross is in 7figures in naira
Am currently worth 9 figures in naira

All these within a space of 4years after changing my mindset.

Let's change our minds please.

My guy abeg show me way

written007:
you're 2 serious! Am sure you have heard of the word _ negligible_ before. We use it all the time esp as engineers. When designing a multi storey building, he has to use it.? Because he will sleep peacefully knowing the structure is safe and durable. And because he knows negligible is next to nothing just like 'E & F ' are siblings. Even I suspect the OP to be under 30 and financially stable and yet he is still quite right. Tell a data scientist this ,he ll appreciate and dissect it immediatelly and then predict a trend and hypothesis.

Yes,I understand your point of argument.I am not in any way trying to win an argument but I only enjoy intellectual discourse.I do understand the word 'negligible' and also know that any number raised to power zero is one likewise its relationship with 0/1=0,1/0=infinity.But my question is,just for instance,if we found one or two out of a million people who does what others don't do,do we say, we have found none?Again,can zero be one(1) without being raised to power of a number or e^0 where e is equal=~ 2.71?

pocohantas:
If he had said, most guys in their 20s are not financially independent, I will agree. But saying, NO guy in his 20s is financially independent,
That's a big fallacy of hasty generalisation.

This is the mindset of lots of Nigerian youths, makes them throw in the towel fast. Anyway, it is only gonna get worse. When young men waste their time, arguing vagina, cucumber and breast everyday.

Shioor!!

Of course he did not literally mean "NO GUY".
He just used it for emphasis. I'm sure we all know one or two of our mates that were ahead of the pack financially but those are the exceptions to the rule.

Eziokwugbaoto:
This is the mentality that ruins a man for life. If you like don't go and hustle stay there and be talking nonsense. If you become the first financially stable man in his 20's is it a sin

whats the hustling you’re talking aboutCybercrime abi

TroubleMaker47:

Ok now u r just being unreasonable!
A whole seller that makes sales of less than 200miliion naira after 28 days of business?

...glad u brought math into it...you , of course know what pie is... If mathematicians were to determine what the exact value of pie is ,am sure by now the developmental strides and feats achieved in the course of scientifical and mathematiecal researchs, hypothesis and applications that we enjoy today wouldn't have come to be. Because as you know (guessing here) pie ,it's exact value is yet to be ascertain as the gap remains ever so present for centuries now...but we are putting to good use 3.142 or the calculator value for 22/7 and consider those outside our grasp as negligible.

Maybe it's your synonym for hustling.

Pie is a constant just in the like manner g=9.8m/s^2 was established as a constant .There are some numerical values that are possible mathematically but cannot be represented physically e.g can we have HALF OF A HUMAN BEING that represents financially stable man in his 20s out of 120 in term of physical representation?

I don't blame Nigerian ladies for their materialistic nature...blame the guys.

Nigerians guys mostly use money and luxuries to lure ladies .they use the money to keep the relationship even when they know that there is no true love.when they become broke and ladies jump to another rich dude,they start calling ladies names.

watch how our music and society preach about and encourages using money and luxuries to spoil ladies...this have become norm and culture.

when a man dey use money to make a woman to like him then he suffers frm inferiority complex.

Davido that claim his father's jet to be his own, that guy is not even stable.

Jaqenhghar:

The Niggerian system does not encourage financial stability at any age.

so true. U even see some men of 50 something and 60 something gambling in naijabet houses and also playing baba ijebu. Someone dats financially stable will he be gambling excessively to become rich? D financially instability cuts across all age in naija.

Maybe na those days when the country still get head

Quite an interesting thread, but we must realise that the concept of financial stability is quite nebulous. There's really no objective way to define it, and that's the main problem.

... That's what I love about the Engineering Profession... The engineer takes a portion of math and test it in the physical world and see how it affects our surrounding and how it is affected by the surrounding and include limitations the mathematician or physicist may have missed. Creativity sums this up stemming from divergent and convergent thinking. Nobody have said ur accessment of the statement isn't valid but thats as plain as it can get but so much can be drawn. In Quadratic expressions ,we find that we can have two different solutions ,for instance... Career are sringing up to help companies find patterns that have otherwise been hidden|hiding in histogram, bar chart; in the books of geography, law, astronomy, market fluctuations , tides and waves, medicine and behavioural patterns of diseases, viruses etc. This thing that we think of as little and dragging since morning is a Billion Dollars Industry.
