Words get around.

As soon as you get a place in Lagos, expect unannounced visitors and squatters (be it friends, relatives, extended families). 2 days stay turns to 2 weeks to 2 months to 2 years. Then you realize you have a room mate by default.

Then when they re away for a while or are no more u start missing them and wishing they were around. The truth is human nature makes us want mutuallly exclusive things at the same time. We just have to make the best of our present situation. There is always a downside to it all.

Exactly. when they leave, you start missing thier company and the times shared together...life is just funny, u kno.

I looooooooovvvvveeeeee living alone o.I have my privacy,peace and quiet.I don’t have to talk to anyone if I don’t feel like it. I can hear my own thoughts.I can wake up in the middle of the night to read and nibble on cashew nuts,walk around half nake.d or with undies without the fear of bumping into a roomie.No one there to mess things up or go through my stuff without permission. Moreso,I am sure to find things exactly how I left them.For me,its even easier to manage food and groceries.You can plan your meals for a period not time and stick to your budget.I get to eat what I want and decide not to even eat at all.I don't get judged for listening to classical music and playing my favourite the weekend songs repeatedly. Yea,it gets lonely once in a while,but that's only natural.I go to the movies, the mall to shop and park to relax when I get bored.

Holla if you need a room mate. I can help with all points except point ONE..
Re: The Worst Things About Living Alone In Lagos by Nobody: 8:13am On Sep 23, 2016
Honestly for me, Living alone is Bliss.
I can walk around my apartment nakked, cook nakked, do whatever I like nakked ... Mehn that's freedom cheesy
I cook small meals, so need wasting it.
I have my first aid kit at-home ,in case I get hurt at the middle of the night..
I already understand my body system, so nothing like eating or drinking stuffs that could trigger heart attacks or any unwanted shocks at night.. I basically eat and drink right.

Abeg, op I love living alone.. I need my space gaddamit! angry

Same here..lived alone and lived with a friend..they both have their perks...
For those who love a little privacy but don't like been alone, there's a better way to go about it..
If you can afford a one bedroom flat, why not get a 2 bedroom flat where you and a friend share the rent but everyone has a room to himself...that way u ensure a little privacy but still u have someone you can gist with in d sitting room from time to time!!!!
ghettowriter:
I have both stayed alone and had a roomie stay with me for a while but honestly nothing beats having your parsonal space to yourself.even If you are lucky to have a Good roomie, it feels good at first, but along the line, you start to miss your alone times and you start seeing ur roomies weakness. Different strokes for different folks tho.

theres a difference between being alone and being lonely, I enjoy being alone,ive adapted to it but im not lonely, it feels likes paradise to me, its just that i get lazy to cook and clean but once i put some naija jamz on, men see how im washing my dishes and cleaning the house, its only those weak people that think they must have someone to sleep in their bed with them, some just cant live alone, in this age of internet, games, movies, music , one shouldnt feel alone

Yes o, I've gone 48hrs without stepping outside my door. I love my privacy! I prefer to be indoor than listen to people's small talks.

A one bedroom flat - a room, parlour, toilet and kitchen and may be a store.


A self contain - a room, toilet and kitchen and may be a store.

This thread remind me of my HRM friend who lives alone, he doesn't interact with his neighbor and doesn't allow kids enter his apartment, his friend didn't hear from him for days and decided to find him home, I am telling you this bro was found dead on his couch.
