Scenario: A lady resides in Uyo with her folks, applies for a job and is required to move to Lagos (where she knows no one) to work. What should she do?


Take her younger brother with her when she settles, A young unmarried woman should not be living alone

you are not the only guy that exist in this world. If you dont like a girl that lives alone, there are others that like girls living alone.

Nigerians and their politicians are fighting so hard to make sure that the average required age is 40 years instead of 18 years.

My guy pls let's be honest, Majority of people who comot from thier parents house usually, wanna have an apartment & bring girls to nack, All those talk of freedom Na bullshyt to justify their ego.

If for example ur parents are poor, that is Even more reason to stay with them, they fed you for decades & now YOU DON BECOME ADULT, you bring one shyt like move out, You be eating indomie & rice while ur parents dey soak akamu. Instead stay with them, Hustle & take over the freaking house bills, I ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL BE MORE BLESSED THAN ONE NIGGA WHO ABANDON THEM in order to prove he is man enough to live alone.

And I seriously frown upon young ladies moving out, NO MATTER HOW OLD PLEASE STAY WITH ur parents till marriage. Personally I look down upon single women who live alone, unless she's an orphan

Even when she gets a job and her parents live in the village?

YES, I agree with you and the ex-NYSC Corper too is not complaining about eating the food prepared by his/her mother and watching free programs on dstv/gotv. He may continue to stay with the parents until is told "O TO GĘ".

life is not easy for no one, instead of complaining, i rather do what is right for myself then after i will think about others. i didnt come to this world to come and help others, i came here to help myself first than after others but come to think of it, even if i had 1 naira and you were broke, i rather throw that 1 naira in a well than give it to you.
my friend shut the fvck up.
I'm working, staying by myself. I understand what it means to have a job that doesn't meet up your needs especially when staying alone, so I do go back to my parents sometimes for assistance. they are nice parents, they understand that.
So fvck boy, you can go to hell cos I don't need help from you.
People like you when you make it, Ladies won't let you remember those that groomed you or where you originate from.
We dey fvck, but e get limit. no be like you wey no get limit. idiot

The problem is majority of such women engage in certain acts that will not ordinarily do so at home, I have seen so much of those women that I end up suspecting those who live alone. Even those that I was thinking are different, proved otherwise.

But if any honest babe thinks otherwise, then am sorry, Like I said earlier there are thousands of men who don't feel that way & so much admire those kind of ladies. But after what I have seen I will advise against a young woman living alone

For me I left my parents at the age of 18 worked in three different cafe's the first cafe I earned 9k back in 2012 the second one 2015 I earned 14k that is after spending 5 years working for people and gathering vital experience. I opened mine in September last year.

It all depend on what you want and your determination and your conviction e go dey be

I think it’s pretty much on both sides of the gender .
Certain men or women tend to take advantage of living alone to do certain things they feel it’s cool.
I won’t want to judge a man or woman over things like this ,it’s doesn’t matter if you live with your folks certain people can still lead some questionable lifestyle.

I'm an orphan, my parents left a building behind. I left the house at 26 this January. I was too comfortable there, I didn't pay rent, I didn't have a job cos I was living off the rent I collected from tenants. I had to leave to find my own.

Guy abeg send me the rent money make I help you spend, I can be that ur lost brother who likes to enjoy his parents Inheritance. Did you know since I finished uni, my dad never gave me shishi, am currently starting M.Sc already. Be happy, even as you dey sleep money dey flow



But seriously man, you seem a bit lazy, that's what you need to change about urself, moving out in a house you already live alone in, it's pretty pointless

I am in this situation presently,I live with my mom alone being her only son.

I am a graduate and presently employed with a salary of over 50k,I am fit to rent a room self contained apartment that is close to my place of work. Though,I intend to actualise this in the next two months.

But I have been thinking of how it will be like considering I am the only one with her though I have made it compulsory that I will continue to assist her with a stipend to cater for the expenses I take care of presently.

Please advise me.

Wow, we're on the same page. Honestly i don't know what to do. Can't leave her alone.

suffer head you say??Lol
Mr Man, I graduated at 20 and I already started my Business while in school because my parents had the money to help me set up the business,I got a car for myself Rx350 and I'm actually sponsoring my younger sister that's still in Uni,No need for all this offline talk where else you might be lieing, if you don't mind,we can exchange maybe new contacts and to show you I'm not just bragging,and I also have over a million naira in my account and my business is still not half where I'm moving it to be, So saying a guy should leave his parents house upon graduation is TOTALLY WRONG because I wouldn't have done that if my parents didn't put it together for me with the funds,rather you can just say MAYBE upon graduation,And the friend you used as an example schooling abroad..You sound funny there.
By the way I'm not up to 24 yet..Don't claim you re right.
Don't mind the typos.

this kind of question doesn't fit in with Nigeria situation of unemployment. It is idea you start your freedom ones you have a source of income. your parents money is not your money. thou it their responsibility to make sure you live fine even when you have decided to move on your own. no age limit, it all depend on when you are set to do so. some parent may even assist you paying your rents for some time until you are strong to carry everything on your own. sometime staying on your own could be the distance of your work to where you live with your parents. please no matter your age, if you don't have a source of income to take care of your needs, don't be tempted to live on your own. you might end up getting frustrated and start mingling with bad boys for survival

Well, you had to stay by yourself cos you moved into another state which is quite understandable. I know a friend who's parents wants to move out and they want my friend to move out with them before he saves for his own apartment. Different strokes for different folks.
