Lol at some of the things on this list. What do you guys think? Meanwhile, if you haven't achieved most or some of these things, it doesn't mean you are a failure...priorities and circumstances are different!
Dupe Adegbola, you missed out, Rob A Bank or hold up the local post office.
ReplyDeleteWHAT ABOUT MARRYING SOMEONES HUSBAND?? SEEMS ACCEPTABLE IN 9IJA THESE DAYS??
ReplyDeleteHave a threesome or foursome? SMH at this broad. I wonder how many she has had herself.
ReplyDeleteLOL@ list, so so superficial. how about find God!
ReplyDeleteTruth of the matter is that you can be dead before you are 30, so if you go about checking the boxes on this, you are only chasing a long thing! If I say on this blog, all who read my comment, raise your hand if you know someone who has recently died under 30, who seemed to be accomplished and who had a long list of things they have done before 30 BUT who you wouldnt trade lives with, because they are dead. In response to that, I'm sure many will raise their hands!
For me its simple, seek God, as you seek Him, He gives you instructions, places desires in your heart and leads you to your purpose. In the process of making the path to your purpose, you will do bigger and better things, and set standards for others to follow. The reason being because God is all the impossible things in this world, come under your feet, and are trampled upon because of the power of God that rises up from within you.
People go around creating long unnecessary lists only to further add confusion to their already complicated lives! LOL
I achieved most of those things before I became 30 with the exception of threesome or foursome and a few others.

Funny but I don't agree to things like... Forget it but I think she missed out buying a Mercedes, BMW or Bentley if you can afford any of it.
ReplyDeleteA threesome or foursome is a bad idea. I am kinky but I won't do that. You can be blackmailed when you become a celebrity. Ha ha ha! Don't 'listen' to her o. You can also catch Aids or HIV. Shoo!
ReplyDeletehopefully i will achieve all except the 'threesome stuff'
ReplyDelete@nwunye your right my dear.. in this last days God should be the first
Have a baby? In 2011, not sure that applies to women everywhere, maybe Naija...

ReplyDeleteVery plastic and some are unrealistic. A good number of things on the list will only help complicate your life. Seems she's very liberal with sex. Her priorities, judging from the list is money and sex.

ReplyDelete...some of these things are retarded.
ReplyDeletehave a kid before you're 30 but dudes shouldn't before they are so the women should have kids with 20+ year olds? OK.
IF she means before one hits 40 (end of 3rd decade) so men should remain childless by 40? toh!
Should the getting married part come before the having a kid part? OK.
Drop out of what? School? OK.
Grow a pair of wetin? Balls? Boobs? Trees? OK.

Second life? like live a lie? really? OK.
END TIME MESSAGE AND ADVICE
ReplyDeleteIs this person stupid?
ReplyDeleteHave a baby if you are a woman and avoid having a baby if you are a man.
Wow, I did not know there were stupid women out there who think it is okay to support the oppression of their fellow Nigerian women.
Hiss!!! What a narrow-minded clown... She should add GROW UP to her list!!!
ReplyDeletei guess the writer Dupe adegbola is just writing based on her naivity of the realities of lifeity of the realities of life
ReplyDeleteHave a threesome or foursome? WTF!!

ReplyDeleteYes, Ys, yes, Yes, No, No, No, No, No, No, No,
ReplyDeleteOK, wait for me, I'm coming...
Hi Linda
ReplyDeletei'm sorry you need to change the title because Dupe Adegbola did not write that list and the list was written a while ago.
It was written by Richard Godwin of the London Evening Standard. it was written just after Beyonce announced she was pregnant a week before turning 30.
Richard Godwin did say, just because Beyonce have achieved her goals before turning 30 and for those of us who haven't it doesn't make us a failure oh.
in the words of Richard Godwin "two months beyond my own 30th, i feel i can dispense a little wisdom of my own. Your thirties are great, so much better than your try-hard twenties. You don't have to go clubbing if you dont want to. You can grow a bread. You dont have to suck up to people. And with any luck, you can cease to worry about not having achieved any of the following" list
Thank you @Folababy for pointing out that this list was totally copied from the evening standard article with the exception of about 4 things to do...and this Dupe adegbola had the audacity to put her name on it kmmmtt
ReplyDeletea very daft list cuz i cannot find give your life to CHRIST!
ReplyDeletenigerian writers, i cannot call them journalists cuz they are not, are so guilty of plagiarism, for those that do not know what it means, it means writing someone else's quotes/words and claiming its yours. this is punishable by banning such persons! so no b d girl write all those crap, now wey dem lambast am, she dey claim say she get am for london bla bla bla
ReplyDeletebut if she was praised, she will insist she thought it up! mshewwwww
ive pretty much done all or most of it and am 30 today

Dupe for tell us say she copy copy now

sigh
This person's life is just filled with so much fantasies and very less realities,,,,,,her number 4 point is baseless,,,,must u live abroad before having records of great achievements in life??,,,,numba 9 point is foolishness.....Co-habitation,,is it a must??pls face the reality of life and stop giving urself to fantasies
ReplyDelete@Nwunye mmadu......u are very right,,,,there's nothing anyone can achieve without God......
Lol, can't stop laughing!!
ReplyDeleteLol can't stop laughing!!
ReplyDeletethe list is about 60 percent trash. lets call a spade a spade. Have a threesome b4 30? Find God, experienced a quarterlife crisis etc.
ReplyDeleteNwunye mmadu1thumbs up for speaking ma mind!
ReplyDeleteDupe Adegbola, don take credit for wetin she copied. I saw that last month on yahoo and it wasn't written by her.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at some of the things on it, u can easily tell that they are not things a proper naija will do.
Any sha!
I figured she couldn't have been the one who wrote it originally when i saw "Drop your last E" i mean how many Nigerians do ecstasy? or maybe i'm naive in that regard
ReplyDeleteI don't get why peeps would criticize wit an insult... Even the peeps dat said they can't find *give ur life to christ too* said words like daft!!! Na wa oo
