For the op to be asking this kind of question alone shows she is not mature. So op please stay in your parents house until you grow up. I mean what on earth could be wrong with you staying alone? Are you a kid?

If you have passed through the four walls of the University and have also gone through NYSC huddles what else is out there that you haven't seen or done? I don't really see any problem staying alone as long as you put your reputation first.

There is nothing wrong with a lady staying alone. You have to consider the environment, type of work, etC.
I stayed alone right after secondary school. Started from Uni..Nysc , work. I even drive my tuketuke, change am, buy cleaner one . Build house sef join, got my first tenant before marriage.

Make sure the environment is safe. If not too safe, once in a while buy orange juice for the touts in that area if you be born again. For me, I dey declare correct ogogoro and alcohol during my Nysc and post Nysc. These guys will never let anything come near you. But still keep your distance.

Sometimes, my male colleagues will come to camp in flat..eat better food finish. Sometimes the house go dry like say na ghost dey dia. wink you know na, weekend runs. grin

Some will say, don't buy car, don't live alone. You will scare men, blah blahs blah.. Don't mind them. Once you can afford it, go for it. Na kpai kpai men dey feel intimidated .

For me, unless you have a regular job, it is not good
Well, I stay alone and I have a job. I pay my bills (a better part of it).

Yes, there's freedom. But messing up or keeping yourself depends on the home training you were given and the people you conform/mix-up with and also your drive in life.

That's why even the bible said, a child should be trained in the way he should go and when he is old, he won't depart from it.

Even at my free estate, there are things I can never do because of the way I was brought up especially under my mum's tutelage.

In my case, I'm the first child of my parents (they stay in Ondo state) and I live in Calabar. I've got younger ones and even my whole family is looking up to me. I dare not fail them else I'll break their hearts especially my mama's heart for she has gone to lengths to see me through to where I am today.

So whatever I do out here, I carry them at the fore of my mind and I'm like "lay good examples young lady and don't dash the hopes they have in you".

@op I don't see a bad thing in it. You just need to know what you're doing.

Afterall, we are adults!

Sometimes, staying alone makes you discover yourself, realize your dreams and focus. If these are the aims of your decision, good luck! Do it!

For you to ask this question means there is really no need for it.

I wonder how someone went to secondary school, university and NYSC and still be thinking if it is right for a girl to live alone undecided

@Op if you can afford to stay alone please do it. Nigerians can sha pretend,tell me what's the difference between staying alone and been in University alone? Were you staying with your Parents while in University? When you get home ask your Parents if either of them ever left their Parents house to stay alone before they got married and seek advice from them. One thing is for sure,staying alone doesn't and won't stop you from getting married,that's a myopic way of thinking. Life is about changes and discovering yourself,Plan your life the way you want. Your Parents can't live your life for you,its all up to you.

Ibadan is relatively safe. But you have to be careful of the area you stay around because some areas here like Beere, Gate, Mapo etc are not that safe.

You can live with your parents and be a good girl.
You can live with your parents and be a bad girl.

You can live in Ibadan and be a good girl.
You can live in Ibadan and be a bad girl.

The power to be a good or bad girl in life is in your hands.

Nothing wrong with staying alone as long as you can afford it. It doesn't make you bad or good it just shows you starting a new phase.

After all if you get an Oil and gas mega paying job in another state, Will you not go there alone.

I don't see anything wrong with it. yes the pressure is much from men who do not have any good plans for you, but that will only affect you if you are not matured enough to handle attention.

Winneygirl: What is reasonable and practical?
If you have a job that will feed you, pay your rent and pay your bills, then stay and work.
But if the sole reason is that you want privacy, U want to take time to seek a job, you dont want to go back to your parents house after service bla bla bla....these are not practical.

Think about your future especially marriage. You can't attract any responsible man when staying alone as a lady. REAL guys won't see you as a responsible lady or wife material. Staying with a relative is far better. Players won't see anything wrong anyway.
