The right time will tell even if you don't have what is needed as a man to be independent..In this our naija when you are just graduating at the age of 27 looking for job

The right time wil tell even if the man does not have what it takes to be independent....an instant where you a guy finish school at age of 28, look for work and did not. The environment will tell even if he does not have the cash

scribble:

u obviously live in the States, and ur parents or the government pays for ur college. Things are quite different in Nigeria.

I put myself through the last year of 'private' college in Nigeria cos my single mom knew id started making money.
bought a car and an apartment afterwards based on running around for contracts etc, not a 9 to 5.

a 9 to 5 can help u achieve rent etc in America, a lot of times in Nigeria it can't.

So act like u know buddy. Some Nigerian guys are freeloaders anyway and would prefer living with their parents so they dont have to pay for anything and can then buy an expensive car and screw all the girls in Unilag, Ife and OSU. but its a matter of choice.

Nigeria is not like the USA!
How am i supposed to know where the OP lives. how do you know sef?

And neither the government nor parents pay for most American college tuition, most of the gov help is loans. And trust me most American students pay more in school fees than the average Nigerian makes in their life-time.

House? Car? Job? Insurance? - I disagree.

Go out there and hustle a life for yourself. For a man do not return to stay permanently with your folks after youth service.

Rent an apartment if you can or find somewhere to Manage. Initially it's hard but the motto should be - survival.

With time every other thing will fall into place

Started living on my own at age 16 to be sincere and am not even up to 22 right now. It all depends on your maturity of the mind and how you relate with people.
And also, you must have a source of income
Re: The Right Time For A Man To Rent An Apartment? by Reelsteel: 2:45pm On Mar 27, 2013
it all depends..
Personally i moved out of my fathers house immediately i got admission into the university,We had no hostels so i lived like a bachelor and i traveled home only 5times throughout my 5yrs course of study.
They paid my school fees up till 3rd yr,though I started doing part time jobs from 2nd yr. They started getting worried when i stopped asking for money from home,so i had to explain my means of survival to them.
Some people learn independence at an early age( i probably did because i stayed in boarding school for 6yrs from age 10), while some enjoy dependence,i have seen people work for yrs, have financial independence but still choose to live with there parents.
For majority financial independence would determine when they move, so going by the situation of the country and counting from the average age of graduation+nysc+time at home+time to save up enough to pay for rent that is 23+1+2+2= 28yrs.
That is my drunken opinion though.

pleep: I say 20, thats when im doing it! grin

you got to have these 3 things:

1. A car.

2. A job

3. Enough money to pay for insurance, rent and everything else


Mr man we are not talking of cash derivable from advanced free fraud...the right time is not an explicit funtion of age...The right time is when you are capable....but its good to know that no 1 has the luxury of time.

If independence is the only thing then forget it until when u grow up.
Whenever a guy start working , he should be out of the parent house unless maybe the first son issue

Please elaborate, wat do u mean by the first son issue

fuckluv: This sounds similar to my bro's case. Even as he has built his house, my parents wouldn't let him go there to live on his own telling him to wait till he get married. Their fears is that he may starts changing girls like clothing and wouldn't think of settling down soon enough.
thank you brother.,everyone is just talking about MONEY, cant one move in with a friend,or maybe a second parents house.
WHAT I THINK THE OP IS SAYING HERE IS.AT WHAT TIME DO YOU KNOW ITS TIME TO LEAVE YOUR PARENTS HOUSE:money or no money
For me it has to be once i gradge and do my service.

DOne that already

ITbomb:

Especially if the family is living on a owned property at a good location and the father has some good business going on in his name. He would naturally want his first son to be close to him and learn from him just in case of any demise.
.
If this is what you are running away from, pls reconsider. no matter what old boy is doing to you, it is in your best interest.
Remember as the first it is not 'Its my life, I can live it the way i want' NO!!!. You are representing a legacy and family name.
That is the advantage, second son like us have, we are free to pursue our different aspirations
