Interesting. It seems for once in the history of mankind, children may never be richer than their parents. It is generally expected that little Johnie will be richer than his father but the economy has become so bad that many folks are opting to stay single while living in their parents house.

God will see you through.

You lied man,I got a cute bedroom flat in Abuja close to suncity at 350k/ year, You can get cheaper houses at airport road-lugbe,kuje,kuchika,ido,kubwa,durumi,mpape,karu,kurudu you must not fake live ofcourse if you can afford conveniently fine and I guess he knows his way round. you make sound like there are no high paying areas in Lagos too. Guy men hussle hard here and are making it big.
350k for a flat close to suncity? I'm surprised o! Even a self con in that same area is going for like 400k-500k

what is this one saying?

Well, "this one" is simply amazed about the fact that entitlements are to be paid upon resignation (not layoff/redundancy). I was just curious sir. The crazy term in my comment wasn't for you but the HR policy that allows that so you do not have to get all defensive. Perhaps you were referring to your retirement contributions which SHOULD be given to you and my advice is to fight to get it except you agreed to terms and conditions stating otherwise.

P.S - i'd rather not be referred to as "this one" in future posts but hey, its just a preference of mine.

This is a serious issue, and this could be me cos i am about to make similar decision. i have been in lagos all my life, schooled in lagos and all. so after my final exams, i moved to abuja for the first time on my aunt's invitation, in 2013. Abuja has been cool, no traffic, no much hussle and bussle like lagos. my service was influenced and i served in Fct abuja. now i finished service in july. though am currently managing at a place for now and still live with my aunt, living with her, is getting more frustrating by the day(u no how it is, living with someone). Now am thinking of going back to Lagos, but something keeps asking me "why". its not like a have a job in lagos plus i dont want to go back to lagos ish,but truely there are more oppurtunities in lagos, its just a dicey situation, and a wrong move can be disastrious. i think u shouldnt have left abuja, atleast not before consulting and seeking advice, all the same i think u should save, get sometin cooking, and then u can have sometin to fall back on, when the chips are down. it really feels bad for a man and for your ego to leave your parents and later come back to live with them.

It is not a crime to be in fathers house while you are trying to get your footings in life. At least you are trying to be on your own, moreover you've lived on your own in a different city before...it shows you are trying and believe me one day your hustle will pay. I pray God gives you the wisdom to make the right choice and the grace to go through the initial stress you may encounter.

As someone who has experienced both cities, I would have to earn x5 of what Abuja offers for me to settle for a job in Lag.

Abuja is a million times better than Lag to work and live. Unless the Lagos job pays much much much much Unreasonably MUCH higher.

Hello peeps, I just wanted to share a Little bit of what my experience has been so far.

I was based in Abj for a while and stayed there for about 5yrs until I got tired and frustrated with my job and resigned last year. I was supposed to get paid my final entitlements which was a large chunk of money unfortunately till now as i speak the company didnt pay. My plan was to use the the proceeds from my final entitlement to start up my own biz Then I came back to lag, started hustling again, had to move back to family house and live with my parents again..its was really rough .till this year when I was lucky to get another job here in Lagos.. I can't lie the job has been ok, very close to my house and we are not really busy so I just they chill and collect my pay.

But my problem is I still miss Abj like mad, compared to Lagos wahala,I miss my privacy as a bachelor..Am so confused I feel like going back to Abj and starting all over again cos so far living with my parents after being alone for a long while has been hell..I also want to start a Lil biz of my own and I feel it will do well in Abj..As I speak I have been offered another job again by the grace of God and am thankful to God for it all,because e no easy to get job for this naija..but am still confused, am not happy probably because by now my plan was to be a bizman,am not happy living with my parents and I have to move out ASAP...I just don't know what to do am confused and I don't want to make another mistake.

Please I would appreciate wise and matured comments only

Guy, your problem is that YOU NEED A WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE.

First which of the two places draws you closer to God. Consider the insecurity in the North. Wic is more expensive setting up a business in Lagos or Abuja. Apart from ministries, what's the job opportunity in Abuja? Here in Lagos, you have two offers and you still didn't see God telling you that your Canaan is in Lagos.

I think you are mistaking the fact that you are in your family house as the reason for wanting Abuja. Analyze things clearly and make up your mind. I live in Lagos alone and working as well.

Finally, the decision is yours to make.

Truth is you will hardly enjoy Lagos if you have lived in Abuja (Personal Experience) I lived in Ikoyi and Work in VI the Crowd and pattern of Lagos is just a bit too much for a former Abuja base Bachelor (I know about the gardens, the Parks,clubs, Wuse2 strolls, the Security and serenity etc) Come back to Abuja that is where you belong. unless of course you used to stay in Marraba while in Abuja in that case continue in Lagos. all the best


You are right bro, i am going through the same thing, but abuja is soooooooo addictive. I can close by 5. Chill and hangout till 11 and get gome by 11,15

Impossible in lagos, though i got side hustles that are almots impossible to run in abuja but easy in lagos

Poster, your problem is not getting a job, you already have one. You said you want to own and run your own business and out of boredom, you resigned a good job in Abuja. Now you are back to Lagos, with a job but staying with parents.

Most comments here aint addressing your root problem. Guy, if you had a lady who you loved dearly in Abuja, you would not have left that job. You would have started a business which she will manage and you now work out your resignation gradually as the business grows.

Only someone who has experienced your situation will understand. I have seen a guy in his early 30s who even had a house, two businesses but boredom once made him want to sell everything to relocate abroad.

But for timely advice.

Nah BOREDOM be your problem, go and marry.

First of all,u need to ask yourself where do u see urself raising ur family?which environment wud u prefer they grow? Then secondly,critically analyse future prospects of the job ur about accepting like is there Job security?good pay?career long? And so on.
On personal terms tho,i think Abuja is more Ideal coupledd with the fact that ur back in ur father's house in long doesn't speak good of ur hussle.Think sharp tho,God bless!
