If you are a woman, try everything within your grasp to get educated.

Try your possible best to resist free meat pie and ice cream, the urge of having numerous men/sexual partners. because it's at this age you are supposed to use your feminine beauty to attract your spouse not (boyfriend).

If you wait till 26, 28 you might end up bitter and regretting because you will have to wait for more years before "a not so wise man" settles for you. Men fancy younger women.

Whatever you do, avoid bleaching cream or toning cream(in whatever name they come in).
guy I fear you oh.

1. Stay away from Nigerian girls, they are too toxic. 2. Learn a business.
3. Start saving to start the business.4.Never learn a skill.5. Save all your penny and stay away from bad friends. Never take up the role of a husband too early in your youthful life. Don't ever do serious relationship.keep chasing and focus on the cheque. I would have been a billionaire today if I didn't start relationship too early.

Be humble, learn from elders, have ICT skills, don't look for love now it will look for you later, learn how to engage people productively.
Don't compete with anyone, it is not time to move out of your parents' house.
Pray and trust God. There is God, there is no one doubt about that and one day we shall give stewardship of our life here.

There is no definite path to greatness in life but try your best to gain admission into University but concentrate more on learning a skill than what you are being taught in school(when you grow up you will understand my submission better)

Make sure you have a child before 25
If you can't do baby-mama, please marry before 25. I know you think you are still very young but trust me, by the time you are 30 years old you won't regret it.

As at 20years old, my friends were getting thier girlfriends pregnant, I thought I was wiser and more sensible than they were by not getting a girl pregnant.
Now I know I was foolish.

myopic mindset angry what is the difference between a man that married at 25 and the one that married at 30 bro life no me maths happiness is the most important thing and children does not guarantee that.

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO BE IN THE QUEUE DEFINITELY IT SHALL GET TO YOUR TURN. DON'T SAY , I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START, MY SISTER/BROTHER START SOMEWHERE. I REPEAT FOR EXAMPLE. DETERMINATION AND HARDWORK GIVE SUCCESSFULNESS.
AROUND THE BANKING HALL AND PREMISES,ARH PEOPLE ARE TOO MANY. WHEN U JOIN THE LONG QUEUE SHORTWHILE LOOK AT YOUR BACK YOU SHALL ALSO SEE A LONG QUEUE BEHIND YOU. HENCE, YOU REALIZE THAT ITS YOUR TURN TO BE ATTENDED TO.
ALWAYS THINK OF THE DANGERS PEOPLE IS FACING OR HAVE FACED AND TRY TO AVOID IT.HAVE HUMAN SYMPATHY, I MEAN HAVE PITY ON FELLOW HUMANS, BE EAGER AND BE HAPPY TO SERVE PEOPLE.. AND ALSO THINK OF BEING A SUCCESFUL PERSON. THINK OF THOSE INSIDE A PRISON YARD AND WHAT CAUSED THEIR REGRETS AND AVOID IT TOTALLY. LEARN TO GIVE ALMS. AND ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO GO INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD.

Focus on your study.

learn a skill.

Expand your knowledge by reading books outside the course u are studying.

learn to save.

Learn to invest.

You will need all this in your late 20s.

Stay clear of women... They will come for u, when u must av perfected the above listed.

It is natural to be drawn to opposite sex, make sure u align with brilliant one who shares your life visions and dreams.

One who is bold to tell u, u are wrong when u are.

Be careful with women, they can make or destroy u.

lastly, take a medium cost of things of the world.

Try your best to have SENSE, It will go along way. Learn a skill, leave gambling and don't keep GF, majority of them are setback. In all draw close to God... So that your village people will not interfere with your destiny.

Start to think of how to be financially independent. If u haven’t already.

Know thyself. What u like and want exactly.

Know all about women and how they think.

Read certain important books* and necessary exposure about life and expand ur knowledge base. Skill base aswell... ur knowledge base will differentiate u from the next person and determine ur direction in life.

Avoid negative and unproductive habits.

Be careful of ur choices. Make informed and the best choices cos they will make u or otherwise.

Never ever make the mistake of choosing a wrong career.
Some of us later came to our senses with stark reality while you may not.

Don't make that mistake. Choose a course where you have the interest and aptitude to do it well so you don't struggle to graduate anyhow, even if nah E.

Seek wise counsel before choosing a career. Don't just rush a course like Petrochemical engineering etc.

All nah name.

The best advice I've seen here..... Not just attending church but being one with God... It is easier for God to mould you at this young age than to mend you at old age
sholay2011:
Get closer to God. It may sound cliche but it's never out of fashion. It's only the work God does through you that will live forever. Just like you clocked 20 in what seems like a blink of an eye, 40 will soon come knocking, trust me.

Also, get the purpose of your life from God so you can kickstart things early when time is still on your side. When you know your purpose, you can then know what necessarily skills to learn.

And always remember, the greatest investments in life are people and time. Life is not all about money.

Wrong advice..
Re: What Advice Would You Give A Brother Who Just Turned 20? by Sweeetheart(m): 2:56pm On Feb 24, 2020
I guess Op is just playing around, you're asking for advise for someone at age 20 when many people who are above that make wrong decisions and still make wrong decisions or you don't hear issues of marriage palava here and how some guys who once made it ruin their lives?


you need to be cautious in seeking advise because stupid and foolish people grow old too


my cogent advise for you is graduate from street, believe in your dream. don't give room for anyone to override your objective if you don't want to struggle in your life


make hay while the sunshine

It's better to marry, if and only. If he can take care of his young wife and kid.

Tomorrow is not sure. So telling him to get a lady pregnant or just rush marry without solid foundation is a complete No! With pending disasters ahead.

I don't subscribe to such, except he can afford to take of his home and matured in handling a woman.

Dont waste too much of your time and energy chasing after women. Focus on your careeer and securing your financial future and they will find their way to you.

Dont be seduced by looks, always look at a woman's pedigree, her family, her friends, the kind of men she dates and understand the difference between a woman that can be a supportive wife and good mother and a woman that is only good for banging.

At some point in life you will realise this, the quicker you do, the quicker you fulfill your destiny

particularly stay away from women who talk like the one below me, they are destiny killers.
