Honestly I can't lie , life of a man between the ages of 25 to 36 is quite a lot of heavy task. Recently I've been working so hard that I've even forgotten what it's like to sit back and watch a movie or do something worthwhile fun , I barely even have time for myself , it's wake up go to work , come back from work prepare for work the next day and it goes on like that , same repetitive routine every single day.


I wouldn't lie sometimes I just ask myself what is the essence of all these hard work ? Cause its not like you have plenty amount of money to just say u know what , I wanna take a trip to Ibiza this weekend and enjoy myself but ofcourse i pay my bills and rents with these hard works so it kinda still pays ,just little tho.

Whenever I think of getting older and certain things aren't even in place yet I get really frustrated, cause the clock isn't slowing down and I know death is inevitable it's definitely gonna come knocking some day , living a life just to pay your bills and survive isn't a fulfilling lifestyle tbh , I've read about people leaving their high paying jobs to relocate and live peacefully on a farm with their romantic partners, i used to think they were crazy but now i understand why.

Society has even made it worse for men within these age brackets and now the pressure we mount on ourselves is scary , cause when we get to a certain age and we haven't achieved certain things we tend to go really hard on ourselves. To top it all the country Nigeria is a failed system, designed for citizens to remain poor and when you try to make it out of this taunting challenge,it feels like everything comes at you so fast ,but hang in there and you would be just fine , this is what i tell myself Everytime.
Men within the age bracket or even above pls feel free to share your thoughts , thank you.

Very ugly
The wrong country

the title of your topic though. you want to hear wining and complain of youngsters bah. maybe you should have competed your inquiry by sharing how you personnally have been meandering daily struggles.

Youth is really an opportunity. Bad habits should be replaced with good ones. My mindset and overall health really changed when I started gyming. I will advise my fellow youth to do the same too. Most importantly don’t let anyone put you under pressure. You’re not a failure just because you can’t buy your broke girlfriend an iPhone for instance

OP, The problem is the Country we find ourselves.

If you take that ur Hardwork and Hustle to countries like Switzerland, Luxemburg or Norway,
u will be living like Elon musk.

How do have time to gym when your work takes almost all your time ? I wake by 4 am hit the road by 5 am , except Sunday , there's really no time tbh.
If only I had a high paying job with lot of time for myself I would be visiting the gym often.

You will have to make out time. You probably live in Lagos which makes you wake up by 4. I don’t but I resume 7:30 everyday till 5 then I go immediately after work. It’s tough but I make the effort, mind you sometimes I also work on weekends because of my role(like I physically go to the office from 8 to 4 Saturday and Sunday)If sometimes I can’t go to the gym, I do home workouts . If you don’t find time to exercise especially if you have a tight schedule your body will breakdown easily continuously.

E no easy oOoOO

The current inflation is making our hardwork fruitless. You work, work and work tirelessly and you have nothing to show for it except feeding and paying basic bills.

Single guys are lucky because they have only their mouth to feed and they are also unlucky because it is now extremely difficult to settle down and start a family.

Bro , No b small thing oo.. it like your write up is an episode of my life. The worse part about mine is that exhausting me mentally and physically.

Am so much buried in the hustle and survival series that too enjoy a little become a challenge.

Lot of responsibility, expectations , work pressure and social pressure.

I pray man does not blow up ...

That's the reason why our noble prophet (SAW) in one of his Hadith said, don't look at those that are better than you, look at those that you're better than.

This is a sign of contentment and relieve and inspiration to fuel your journey towards an endless success.

By God's grace, success is certained

Bro. Maybe I'm the only person feeling the way I feel sha. My economic condition has improved compared to how I remembered, I'm actually still on a fair career path too, I don't have a serious responsibility or anything seriously holding me back, but it always feel like something is missing.
I avoid Insta, Twitter, Toktic, ... and only do NL and an extremely bit of Facebook, all in a bid to starve distractions, yet starting something and ending it feel a lot like hard work. There's always some emptyness. It's just hard to explain how exactly I feel. Maybe uncertainties, maybe the pattern... Motivation are there but they seem hard to get to me, right now, I don't just know.

I'm looking to work on myself a lot though, I hate that this is what I always hope. Maybe to find a place outta my comfort zone may help. I may also get a gf too but... I don't know sha...

On a second note, I feel I'm probably too exposed and the threshold for my happiness is just needlessly high. It's a hard place to be. Ignorance is a bit bliss sometimes...

At least you have a job.

You don't want to hear how the country's treating unemployed ones like us

Life's good!

Rat race!

Eat - work - sleep like zombies all through the year.

Another year same thing, rinse and repeat.

Op.

You need to get firsthand information of what is currently going on in the world right now yourself Most especially in the Contraption call Nigeria you reside.

I'm exhausted of coming across the lamentations of men at the bottom of the food chain who lacks the balls to challenge the Status Quo and turn things around.

You really need to brace up because the Future of Nigeria seems to look very bleak.

Best Of Luck.

Exhausting I must say. Regardless, we would stay head strong 💪 💯 🙏

What i have learn so far is hard work never pays, but time do

Reaching exhaustion......
We just dey work like baboons.

If mamba no fit high me again....make you know the level of stress.

Fine and good

If to say na "treat" life dey treat us (like patients), we for don well tey tey. But life go do collabo with Tinubu just to "deal" with us.

Life is complicated because spirits are in the affairs of men.. we don't even know what will happen in the next seconds

He no go better for all ronus bastards

Omo!! 🤦🏿‍♂️

That's all I can say

Na you wey even get better work be that oo. Me like this, I dey borrow every middle of the month to transport myself to work. It's emotionally draining.

E no easy
