honeric01: In benin city, with as low as 70k, you can get a 3 bedroom flat (which you don't need right now) for one year without paying commission like we do here in lag.

With 50k salary, saving 25k will take you just 3 months to rent a place of your own (if u've nt been saving), another 3 months' savings enough to funish the apt a bit.

You have no excuse living with your parents/siblings/relatives when you can afford @ least a self contain.

My younger bro started living alone @ 19 when he was earning less than 20k monthly.

Paying bills straigthens you and makes you more responsible.

Some of your mates @ 27 are already married, some with kids.


You ain't a kid and shouldn't be asking this kinda question!

Joeblis: rubbish!!..where is he going to say before he saves for his rents under bridge?if am not mistaking the guy said he just relocated to benin to pick up the job so he needs some time..guy i'd advice you stay in you parents house for at least 6months buy then you'd have enough to do your thang!..all this bushrats saying i moved out of my parentr house at 19,20,22,do you think every had the same opportunity as you did?because you got a job at 20
dosent mean everybody will get at that age.

Tonyblinky: I am a graduate,aged 27, I recently got a job with a govt parastatal with a salary little above 50k and I was posted to benin city where my parents live in a rented 3bedroom flat,I share room with my siblings and a few relatives.

I don't have any privacy and comfort,moreso its quite far from my workplace.I really feel like renting a small apartment where I can start my life.

Is it a nice decision and how do i convince my parents?

pls ur thoughts on this

Fhemmmy:

Kool, make i go call Okada that will help us . . . How many Okada make i get?

tchidi:

Just bring keke, but if u no see, charter 2... 1 for luggage, 1 for him..

eyenCalabar: U've started already bro. Stay with them and make some saves before u start thinking of privacy. I know all the privacy u want is going to be just because of "one thing" but try and bear with the present situation for now. You won't be missing the funs much. I tell u by the time u start buying your own food, pay some bills and having to take care of "the unknown", u'll realize that it's not beans. Just bear with the situation while you plan. Make good saves now for the future.

lastmanstandn: Ode. I started living and fending for myself @ 19. That was the last I slept under the same roof with any of both parents. And we're all in Nigeria.
