No regret
Fixed from above

Believing in Nigeria by investing into Nigerian own investment platforms some good amount of money only to be swindled by almost all of them including clergymen!

MN07:
Loosing all my millions last year 8.8 million.

Now I'm starting from 0kobo at 33 years old and I unconsciously beg God for a painless death every day because I'm too afraid to do it myself.

Sorry bro. What made u lose 8.8 million.

Regret full grounds but don't be a story teller but history maker and breaker.

Getting married

CalmElder:
I regret snubbing a very attractive 42 year old American lady because of 10 years difference in age.

I didn't know how to pretend.

I guess now you can pretend very well

MN07:


I hope it doesn't for me I have seen enough already I think I'm ready and I'm no longer afraid.

I'm already dead inside.

Easy man! Your experience is quite unfortunate, but nevertheless you have got man up and face it squarely. Everybody passes through shits in some ways because life has got tons of it.

Better days ahead. I pray you live to witness it.

EMMARNUEL:
My biggest regret is not learning a digital skill when i finished secondary school years ago..

Figger:
Attending higher institution instead of learning a skill after my O level

We're in this together

That's sad man 😢. That global lockdown ruined so many pple's dreams of travelling abroad.
Mine too. The Lord is your strength.

hawpeyemi:
Wasted more that 2 million of my hard earn money on traveling which eventually blocked due to covid19 despite been issue 2 years visa.
I nearly commit suicide.
2021 naaaa wahala

I'm Wowed, Do You Mean You Have Read The Bible Cover To Cover, And Even The Quran?
It Takes A Special Kind Of Curiosity And Enthusiasm To Achieve Such Feat Which I Must Confess I Don't Posses.
I Think I'll Gatecrash Into The *Being And Time " And See How And Where It Goes From There.
I'm Inspired Honestly.

Of course I read the Bible and Quran from start to end, the Bible 3 times. There was no light in my day, and the telly, which was one single channel and started at 4pm, was rather uninteresting having imbibed a lot of more interesting BBC in my early days, so I had to occupy my time somehow and reading the Bible it was. My first reading took 3 years, as I only read it if I had no other books to read. I finished before I was 12.

Please do gatecrash Heidegger and let me know what you make of him, as my difficult is not do much reading (though I can't read because my eyes no more work), but because of my desire to understand and let it influence me as opposed to merely believing whatever he says.

Figger:
Attending higher institution instead of learning a skill after my O level

You made sense.

MN07:


I wanted to leave the country back then.

Got admissions everywhere England, Usa, and Poland I felt finally I have arrived but unfortunately I got dupped.

Lost every penny in a flash, I couldn't even afford to feed myself.

That day I died inside and till today I will never recover from the shock.

The only reason I'm still is because I'm a coward that can't bear a little pain to end it all.

I wish I could go to bed and never wake up.

sorry dear. Please be strong . Once there's life there's hope

Felix6:
time in school is never wasted, there are people who wants to be on nairaland as you, but can't because the knowledge of how is not there. that is just the least. have you ever imagine how it would be coming across many written signs and all you could do is just walk by without knowing what is on a single one? more like the blind mehn. education is never wasted, forget the present situation, later you will appreciate it.

when they say school they mean higher institution, it kinda off waste of time except if you're directly gainfully employed with your certificate or u from rich family. The resources, time and energy wasted in university could have been used in other channels with positive results.

nwetadinobi042:
I am really sorry for your situation. Please what was making the millions for you then?

Club Cubana is the answer. I worked there. If you have ever been there or clubbed there, then you'd understand how making thousands could be easy peasy in one night. I could make as much as 500k on a weekend. Then, I was like LAPO to family and friends. If you met me then to borrow you 1M, it would be readily available.

I was a teenage girl, naive and impressionable. I felt everyone had a good heart — like me. I would always help anyone who came to me having money problems. Anyone. I'd make sure you live la Vida loca as far as you came to me for help and I know you.

I had an admission to study in Finland, and then I got duped of over 5Ms by an agent. Sadly, this person was introduced to me by family. Till now, I don't know her whereabouts. I doled out uncountable monies doing giveaways without plans because I felt it would always be there. Even my parents were no good.

Do you know what it feels like to have over 9M in one minute and be stark broke in another? Sometimes, I sit and stare forlornly and just think I have nothing else to live for. When I tell people I'm depressed, they laugh at me and call me bipolar or make jest of me about being depressed. You don't understand it, mate. Like another Nairalander said, maybe I'm just still very weak and playing cowardice to snuff life out of me. Or maybe, I'm still very undecided. Time will tell.

Mind you, I have things going on for me but I can't forking move on. I hate everyone who I ever was there for. I hate them. I regret every forking thing I ever did for them. 😭. Maybe, I just had too many expectations. Just maybe. But, why should I not? I forking cared for them. Why shouldn't I?

I'm sorry about the epistle.

Going to bed and not waking up is not only applicable to u but also to some and many other pple.

We're in this together

It still pains me till today.

I said what I want to say because that's how the situation is with me. And yes, I don't mind staying unmarried if I can't find the right person.

Again, I never said I don't have flaws. But intolerance is certainly not one of them dear. Based on the bolded, it seems you're the intolerant one here. Abeg, allow me make I watch my movie in peace.

UyaiIncomparabl:


As long as you mentioned “flaws”, forget it. I don't need to ask you anything because it was glaring in your comment. Keep noting every flaws from every lady you meet hoping to find “MS. Perfect”. I hope you don't get to 60s and still keep nitpicking on their “significant flaws”.

You sound like a very intolerant person by the way. Easy there.

Omo I no fit talk am, even thou this na faceless forum

Just try

Not going to private university ,not following up in tech ,not starting my hustle from school in 2nd year

OkwuMajesty:
My regret: being too anxious and not assertive enough, I regret not coming out sooner. Wasted years worrying about it, worrying about pretty much everything. All the time,being too afraid to live.

I used to think my family can't survive without me, so I wasted enough time trying to be almost everything possible for them, but I was totally wrong.

What's yours

I always look forward, I only look back at brief intervals for the purpose of learning, and I see every experience as a potential tool for my growth and advancement. I also strive to deal with my self and others graciously. Thus I live my life without regrets.

I'm so sorry about your experience. Life happens. Don't give up please. Having a good heart is not a bad thing in itself. People taking advantage of others is an age long matter, many have suffered as a result of this. Since you have something still going for you, then there is hope.
I have my own regrets also, but I have learnt to deal with it

Spending my life savings of almost 35million to build 10self contain apartment for rent, now my money has finished and I haven't completed the house. Am even struggling to eat now meanwhile I have 35million worth of uncompleted building , not rentable.

LivingSage:
This happened so that in years to come, you'll have something to say in a very good and comfortable condition.

Death isn't an option, only coward sees that as way out, you shouldn't be one.

Stop talking this nonsense dat death is not an option bcuz we were forced to come into life by God without our permission or consent.
Taking one life will Always be an option bcuz
we did not ask for d life from God. God was d one that created humans without their permission or consent.

Ishilove:

You couldn't have said it better. The most flawed people unconsciously search for perfection to compensate for their own unacknowledged flaws

They don't know this. Yet, they keep searching for lost diamonds in the dirt while they have it staring right at them in the face.

I hope. Still hoping. 🙏🏼

Nackzy:
Not getting married, I am working yet still not seen the right person, I feel bad about it everyday

Going to brothel and masturbation and virtual bet

Actually, parents are the ones to blame. They procreated and made you. Not God. We didn't ask to be birthed, they choose to do so out of our free will. Sucks.

But, I agree with you. Taking one's life will always be an option. How long exactly should someone keep hoping for?

My regrets so far are
1. Building house first as a young guy in my early 20s instead of investing in business. ( I know some people will say, building house is good , but I tell you , if you’re yet to get your own family , please expand your business first , when you get steady flow of income , it’ll be very easy to build
2. Not investing in crypto 2years ago especially shiba.
3. Wish I started trading earlier
4. Lost a big opportunity on nairaland due to anger and lack of few min patience.
