As for me, for someone starting from the scratch. When you start making money, let's say hundreds of thousands ... never let your family or friends know yet, invest some of the funds into what gave you the initial money without having a second thought, and seek for more updates.

Let's hear from some of our elders in the house.

Not learning a skill or handwork before I went to school, I have made a promise to myself my children must be equipped with relevant skills first before higher school

Skills that could fetch them income regularly, school will not help you beat poverty or brokenness, it will only beat illiteracy

Women are overrated! With time the sex all gets boring eventually, hustle and grind hard. Focus on a rewarding career or long-term business. Nothing beats being successful as a man grin

I once dated a loosed hoe. I hope the young boys out there don’t make that same mistake. A loosed hoe will make a disgrace of you and drag you in the mud.

I was trained to believe without education your life is zero 😭


I have passion in tech with ability till date but due to the mentality when all my friends was bagging NIIT CERT AND GOING TO I.T SCHOOLS I left them and go to normal university 😒

Till date am still struggling to get a job while my friends are bubbling with car and living very fine..

Young guys of today should at least discover themselves in a particular skill or passion and they shouldnt let education be d first as society portray it 😑

Not learning a skill........

Anytime I think of the time I wasted in poly,I just shed cold tears within.......Coulda learnt a skill before going to poly but nobody really sat me down to advice me..........

Dear youngies,the best advice anyone can ever give to you is that -"go and learn a skill". You may not understand how important it is at this moment,but trust me,with time, you'll get to know how valuable it is..

Same here bro.

Infact I told my wife that am going to show my kids 3 ways to make it in life and they must practice the 3.

1. Skills i.e handwork
2. Learn trading buying and selling
3. Education is d last on the list don't forget they must know basic things like read and write .
That's all

Going to a church that looked good but was occultic... My life was ruined alot but I bounced back by God's help. Still moving forward.

Not dumping a former girlfriend after I lost peace... I suffered it.

Never marry from a poor background and avoid only girl in a home of three brothers upwards.
