Most Nigerians rather reduce their ages, especially female celebrities, government pipu (No names mentioned o). Even average Nigerians too!

A popular Actress has been 16yrs for ages and now 19! What a magic!

But they claim seniority when they want to cheat, exert authority etc. Why?

You will see a woman in her late forties claim to be younger ("she go say I be lady o", as Late Fela Kuti said), especially if she is single or still "in-marriage but looking" or randy married man, who might be blessed with baby face and claims younger and unmarried to get the ladies.

Why the "football" age?

yahuu yahuu age everywhere. I blame our system though.

After struggling to go to school, and everywhere you reach for job you hear applicant must not be over 22 to 26 years old my brother and you are already 31 years old my brother na to borrow yourself brain oooooo

Make i burst your bubble, if i have my way i still want to represent Nigeria for under 21 junior world cup

To cap it all, if i see any federal government job/ scholarship now, na to enta high court go arrange declaration of age.

It's bcuz most Nigeria companies want a 25yrs man who graduated not more than 3yrs ago and has 30yrs working experience

because dem never achieve Wetin their agemates Don achieve

lol when they are younger they tend to increase their age, when age finally catch up omo na to reduce am. you go see somebody wey you to be 30 today in the next five year the person still dey stuck for 31

Pocohantas predicaments. Age runs fast when you waste lots of years building the fabrics of feminism ideology only to realize your new home has no interested occupants.

Who age epp

Even if I don't get it but I don't know if you have any questions please feel free to contact me with the information I have been working in the morning to

To avoid being refused a job offer, when they are perfectly suitable for the job but strike, evil lecturers and disorganised NYSC are what made them to "overage" in the first place!

To avoid being called "evening newspaper" by stupid and unscrupulous beings who have no idea how the female anatomy works!

To avoid being overlooked for political positions since it seems we only respect elderly dotards in this country!

And then they will try to retire you at the correct so-called age whilst still owing you years of salary! I have an aunt who keeps swearing herself back into school uniform for this very reason. Who knows whether, after retiring, they will say youre too old to collect your pension

Plus, some people genuinely have no idea how old they are because their parents never kept a record, so theyre just guessing!

In fact, time-wasting is the biggest contributing factor to the country's bad economy, so some of us are just trying to get our money back.

As in "Time is money" !

If they want the correct time, let them refund our lost money...

we are never plain in this country

all lies

(quote) (report) (like) (share)

I think it's because the Nigerian system delays them so much the have to adjust to be able recoup lost time .

Hospital will waste their time at birth

Bad roads will waste their time

Primary School teachers strike will waste their time

Secondary school strike will waste their time

WAEC will waste more time

Nigeria ASUU will waste more

NYSC call up will waste another

Then after wasting an average of 6 years one employer will tell them the must not be older than 24 when applying for entry level job

It's based on the opportunity condition. If the opportunity condition warrant age increment, they increase it, if it warrant decrement, they decrease it.

Is like you don't know that in Nigeria no body ant to die early.. Even my father is a young man.. Question for the gods..

To make it in this country requires sense.

... So if at age 25 and it's not looking like you'll make it in the next 5yrs, you'll quietly reduce your age to 20 so people won't call you agbaya.

Everything na sense for Naija abeg

Nigerians bloom at a late stage

Many Nigerians only find their bearing when they're already of age and have to cut back on their age (on paper) to make up for lost years

Take footballers for instance, when do majority of Nigerian players start playing organized football, join academies and have opportunities? Many of them it's when they're in their late teens when their Western counterparts right from 8 years are already in academies and have a clear cut career pattern

Nigerians don't reduce their age. No one can. They simple supply a date of birth that is being requested. That's called "compliance".
It'll be rude to tell a prospective employer that you are 30 when the advert clearly says ages 20 - 25. That doesn't mean you aren't 30 no more.
It only mean that you are following instructions.
Are you with me?

To make people believe that you still have time to achieve and hammer.

Because they did not meet up with the globally accepted standard

Some Nigerian girls don't know how to count. Don't be suprised if she doesn't know what comes after 16

I wish I could reduce mine too
I look younger than my age tho. I just don't know how to go about it since the normal age is on all my documents and IDs
