I can understand what you are facing... Be patient and avoid any form of confrontation. Get something started for yourself be it a job or business while you plan on getting your your apartment ASAP!
I left home at the age of 19 to avoid your type of experience and start my life as an undergraduate... But ensure you leave in peace and not at war!

Endure till you go for service. Then use that as a lunch pad.

Note: Avoid shallow and useless friends in the form of slay queens and No future ambition boys, you guys are not running the same race.

Sorry for your frustrations but what stops you from persuing both careers ?

i suggest you listen to your father until you are financially independent so that you can get your own place and do what you desire.

This one is strange to me.

Your father should be happy you are reading something useful. I believe his problem is that the reading drives you away from his goal: You becoming a tailor.

Why does he want you to be a tailor?

Economic situation is a big deal..Which is y it is common to see girls marry from school.

With full support from her parents.

I think your dad is telling u to get practical and start earning...You need to learn a skill...And make money.

Book worm no deh pay.

Acquire a skill before u frustrate him to grave on time please.

Be patient with him.
He loves you and will always want what is best for you.
Acquire the skill he wants you acquire, at the end of the day, no knowledge is a waste.
Do it, even if it is to make him happy and keep him off your back. You can always do what you want after that.
Once you make up your mind to stop resisting, you'll see there's nothing to it.

Being angry or confronting him isn't the best way to deal with this, however, you know your father more than we will do based on few lines of post
My advice will be for you to sit him down to understand what in tailoring that makes him to want you take it up.
Talk to him to educate him about what exactly you want and let him see and understand why you were reading what you were reading.
Communication is the only way to go and if you move out prematurely, you might regret it.

You don’t have to tell him anything! Once your visits to the house become few and far between he will get the message.

Our parents can only steer us in the directions that they know or that life has taken them through.

If you’re not interested in tailoring see if you can negotiate for a trade you enjoy.

Read your books but not when he’s in your immediate vicinity or when there are chores to be attended to.

Maybe that’ll be a starting point.

OP, I guess what you meant to say he is an authoritarian father. The attached image reflects the 4 parenting style.

If you are able to use your spirit, you would see that your father is afraid of your success. Saw the same too and all praises to God, I beat them all, with the knowledge and strength of Christ.

Now, they hate me but I'm smiling in Victory!

Christ is what you need and all you need!

Don't allow hatred or anger to cloud your heart, in your bid to get out of that house fast, watch your steps and make sound decisions to avoid future regrets.
Good luck.

I will suggest you relocate to any of your relatives who will be willing to accommodate you

But bear in mind to assist them in e every where you can at home and be so useful that your exit will cause wahala to the entire family

While you ate there, respect yourself and start thinking of what to do

In the absence of non, go for the tailoring practice, you must not practice it buy you will have the experience that will help you in your matrimonial home

Start working or/and doing enough business to be independent.

That's your only hope.
