RomanceRe: Is It Too Late To Marry At 34 For A Man? What Age Is Best For Marriage? by tompat86(m): 6:43am On Apr 29, 2020
The most difficult age for any man born in Nigeria

should be

between 24 and 29 years, the pressure to be something,

to be someone is so immense. When you look around

you everyone seems to be doing something for

themselves, people seem to be living a life you only

dream of. You have applied for jobs and the results have

been more disappointing than Yakubu Aiyegbeni goal miss at the world cup.

Sadly this is the age when most guys lose it, the age

when if not careful one is consumed by alcohol or drugs,

because the disappointments become too much and you

find alternative ways to face reality. Worse is when a few

people you studied with have been lucky enough to land

jobs, soon your circle of friends gets thinner – mostly

they don’t even cut you out but you will be real with

yourself and cut yourself off. I mean what will you do

when you are in a WhatsApp group of friends and they

are discussing about last week’s trip in Dubai and

planning another trip South Africa while you are not sure

of what your next meal would be?

Most times you follow the conversation silently, all

alone like a cross on the grave. Soon you realize this is

no longer your kind of crowd because the more you keep

around the more the pressure to be something, takes a

toll on you. You know when stories about house parties

come up and you act deaf because you don’t know

where an extra 5 guys would fit in your house. Have you

ever sat in a group of people discussing the new iPhone

on the market or how British Airways offers poo services

and you can feel your heart whisper to you “boss this is

chest pain hour, can we just go and find a group that

talks about GMAT, SHLn Dragnet, jobberman or job

vacancies sites“.

But you sit there as these people are lost in their

lifestyle conversations, you are like a secretary taking

minutes in meeting. You are totally forgotten like one of

a woman’s breasts during pre-intimacy. Once in a while

one of the friends will turn and ask if you need another

drink and you wonder if you should just say No and

head home, but head home to do what? So you

grudgingly drop in the comment “I will have just one

last one“ Lie.

But after a few years of job hunting, you are now ready

to take anything even if is to smell a rich man’s farts as

long as it pays , so you end up as an office messenger

in one blue chip company in town. To imagine that 4-5

years of studying and getting a degree is now reduced

to picking and dropping off letters and if you are not

doing that, you are being sent for cheap lunch by the

employees when they are broke and they can’t order

with fast food. This is when conversations about where

people schooled start, you go silent for it’s no longer of

any use to say you also reached University, it doesn’t

matter – you have resorted to surviving.

Once in while you will bump into your now well to do

classmates, they would offer you lunch, but not even

eating the meals at Eko Hotel or Sheraton will make you

feel better about yourself, because in your mind you

wish instead they would give you the 30k and you sort

your meals for the next 5 weeks. As it is the norm you

will have photos taken, and uploaded on Facebook, but

always it’s your face that would look the odd one out –

not even the best filters can hide a face which has

suffered the city's dust and sun but survives on boiled

beans.

The worst mistake you can do during this period is to

try and date – there is nothing that a person going

through such times can offer in terms of love. How are

you going to do evening romantic walks when you are

tired from walking delivering letters in offices around

town? What are you going to tell your lady when she

says she wants to go for relaxation at the bar, pool or

love garden sites that are in town? That your financial

religion doesn’t allow it or what? This is the age when

you sit back and watch as the ladies you would want to

date are dating or getting married to guys 10 years older

than you. And you can’t blame them – it’s only that your

life seems to be progressing slower than their goals in

life. Most of the ladies you meet during this period, if

you are lucky will be patient with you till you hit 28, and

if by then your life is still in disarray like Arsenal fc's performance in the EPL then my friend be

prepared for a walk out.

But then this is the age when you learn a lot of about

life, if you can hack through this stage of life the only

hard moment in your life would be when you lose your

parents - that’s if you are still lucky enough to have

them. This stage teaches you a lot about perseverance,

about appreciating the small wins you have each day, it

teaches you something about friendship, love, career

growth and personal responsibility. This is always your

rise or fall moment depending on the choices you make.

How you live your life in the 30’s is determined by how

you handled your life in this phase.

Do not Give up. Do not Be Depressed. remain focused and create a Strategy. Be consistent, you must Surely Win.

CelebritiesMy Experience At A Bank by tompat86(op): 2:47pm On Apr 21, 2020
I went to First Bank hall few months ago. As I was about entering the hall, a lady ran ahead of me and pushed me away, so she could quickly join the long queue before I will get to the queue.

I did not say anything, she thought I will queue up behind her, but I was actually not there to withdraw, I came to deposit. So I walked to the deposit teller and I was the only one there. No single person on the queue. When I finished depositing, I was about leaving the hall, when the lady came from the queue and apologized to me for pushing me away the other time.

With sorry smile on her face, she said: 'I am sorry for pushing you away, I thought you were coming to the queue' I just smiled and told her not to bother that it's not a big deal.

But since then, the lesson in this story kept coming to my mind, and I felt I should share it for us all to learn from it. Friends, who are you 'pushing' away and trying to outrun in the race of destiny, relationship, business, ministry, career, etc?

You think you are going to the same 'queue (destination) unknown to you that, though your path may look alike, your destinations are different. How many people have had to say 'sorry' to those they pushed aside, pushed away or pushed down when they finally realized that the person was not actually going to the 'withdrawal machine' they were running to.

Are you reading this and you are pushing people away here and there by slandering them, hindering their progress, blocking their promotion, spoiling their good names either through lies or rumor all in a bid to 'get there' before them. I challenge you today, to take it easy. You might not be going to the same destination.

It might surprise you later that, with all the pushing away you are doing, they may still leave you on the 'queue' of destiny and go ahead of you.

Finally, are you reading this and you can feel people in your school, office, ministry, business, etc pushing you away so that they can get ahead of you? Don't worry, God will use your case to prove to them that, "it is not of him who runs, but of the God that shows mercy. He will show you mercy and give you an overtaking speed and those who are pushing you here and there will later come and tell you they are sorry.

Please, push nobody! because you might not be heading to the same 'machine' (destination).
