Why Do Most Nigerians Like To Reduce Their Ages? by naijadrivablog: 9:11pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
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? 13 Likes 1 Share |

There is age restriction on a lot... -Age restriction to get husband #NoEveningNewspaper -Age restriction to get job -Age restriction to stay on the job -Age restriction to get babe -Age restriction to play football -Age restriction to express yourself on certain topics, you will be reminded you are Indomie generation. You young, problem. You be ancestor, another problem. You sef go confuse... Then there are certain people who feel they are lagging behind when compared to their peers. So, they give themselves extra spiritual years to catch up- in the eyes of the society. 104 Likes 8 Shares |

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... 11 Likes 3 Shares |

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 10 Likes 1 Share |

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 6 Likes 1 Share |

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 13 Likes 2 Shares |

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.
