Well, considering the unwavering decline in the nation's economy, any 40 year old man who is able to take care of himself and his loved ones should be very proud of himself.
You are right

at least if you are happily married with not lesssthat 2 kids and you are have a good job or business and you are able to feed your family and paying their school fees and other bills like rent and also own a land or trying to own your own apartment,then you really achieved depending on what you find your self at the beginning or family background,because in Nigeria now many people are more than 40 but they don't even know where to start from due to the conditions they found themselves in fact in Nigeria now once if you are healthy you don't beg for what to eat or to feed your family then you have achieved a lot due to the types of people that are managing the affairs of the country.

It's important to remember that everyone's life journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all definition of success or achievement. Comparing yourself to standards, societal expectations, or other people's achievements can lead to feelings of inadequacy or dissatisfaction. It's crucial to focus on your personal growth, happiness, and fulfillment rather than external measures of success.

That being said, in any culture, including Nigeria, certain achievements are often associated with reaching the age of 40. These can vary based on individual circumstances, personal goals, and cultural norms. Here are a few aspects that people might consider as achievements:

Personal and Professional Growth: By the age of 40, many people expect to have developed a certain level of expertise in their chosen field or profession. This could include achieving career milestones, taking on leadership roles, or making a positive impact in their work.

Financial Stability: Having a stable financial situation, including savings, investments, and the ability to provide for oneself and one's family, is often seen as an accomplishment by this age.

Family and Relationships: Building and nurturing meaningful relationships, including marriage and raising a family, are considered important milestones for many individuals.

Education and Learning: While education is not the sole measure of success, continuous learning and personal development are often valued. Acquiring new skills or furthering education could be seen as achievements.

Community Involvement: Contributing to one's community, volunteering, or being involved in social initiatives can be fulfilling and contribute positively to society.

Health and Well-being: Maintaining good physical and mental health is vital. Achieving personal health goals or adopting a healthy lifestyle is a noteworthy accomplishment.

Cultural and Personal Values: In Nigeria, as in many cultures, adhering to cultural values, ethics, and personal integrity can be considered achievements.

You've stated nothing but the truth. Got my car under 30, got a befitting apartment still under 30, got married at 30, lost her in a car crash at 33 and everything becomes useless now. There's nothing to life anymore, life is truly unscripted. I'm just living life, let him use and do me as it pleases him because I'm tired already.
Your story just shattered my heart.
So sorry for what happened.

U graduated from noun?
Was that ur first degree?
Fairview1:


Yes, I completed my secondary school in 2011, exactly the same day when I turned 18, served my boss for 7years and got settled in 2018. Established my first business, and took up admission few months after with NOUN, while running the business concurrently, and even diversifying our interests and employing more people. I just truned 30 few months ago.


I convocated March 25th this year (2023) and have equally bought Covenant University MBA form for my Professional Master's In Business Administration Degree, I have gone for the screening, wrote the general requirement exams and passed, now awaiting their provisional admission letter from the MBA admission committee.

Dreams are valid only if you are willing to pay the price of discipline and and engage the force of diligence. Any Dream. I shared this story because as a Christian, I understand the impact of testimony and how it can inspire faith in us when we seek to read and listen with a meek heart and have zero doubt in our minds.

I wish you success in all you are doing, and pray that God will connect you with those who are going forward that will lead you to your destiny helpers. Amen.

Acquire a good education either a secondary school education, NCE, ND, HND AND BACHELOR degree to enable him fend for himself.

Must have learnt handwork or technical skills if the person want to go technical to bring bread to the table.

I think peace of mind is the best thing one should strive for.

Have the spirit of contentment good or bad.

Then you are at peace with yourself and your fellow men.

There is a short cut to owing a property if you're below 40. It's called inheritance. Many young Nigerians (myself inclusive) are beneficiaries of it.
Inheritance is not what I'm talking about,
I'm talking about hustling and building yours ,
You don't come online bragging over inherited house

This is the problem I have with most Nigerians. Poverty has made you guys see a harmless conversation as bragging.

If you see someone advising you to have a job, get a passport, get married with kids, save up to 1m, get necessary connections...etc before reaching 40 as bragging, you need serious help.

Come to quora and see how people talk about how much thousands of $$ they earn in one tech firm how they want something higher, and everyone just joins the conversation without anyone accusing them of bragging about their earnings or hate.

But here, no way, small talk, hatred don start. Honestly the black man truly has a serious problem. Besides my post said owning a property, owning can either be by inheritance or by building one. Next time understand a statement before activating your hatred.

You inherited a property,you are now using it it as a yardstick to measure others,
So every young man should have a parent that left a building for them?
You should not bring that into the conversation here if it's not bragging,
That's the problem with lazy people like you,, they only. Depends on what their father left behind,,

Lol...Like I said your problem is poverty. Only poor and hateful people see harmless conversation as bragging and pick offence.

I have to object here cos you're the one who's lazy. If you weren't lazy, poor and hateful, you would have at least met even if it's one person in your miserable life who casually receives millions as alert and just jokes about it.

Sensible people saw what I said as a challenge even if it's half of the things on that list they can achieve before hitting 40, it would be something.

But your type sees things from a negative point of view even when there's actually none. Everything makes you bitter, even ordinary greetings. It's your type who would poison their friends for getting Visa or a huge contract. You want everyone to remain poor with you, and anyone who even advises you is arrogant.

This would be my last reply to you this Monday morning as I have much better things to attend to. If you continue nursing this mindset of seeing negativity in whatever people say to you, believe me, you won't achieve anything in this life.

Give it a shot if you are passionate about learning which I believe you are. But don't bother if you are not, cos you might grow tired of the school if you are being forced to learn.
