Boredasf: Why are you so triggered? With all the rape stories coming out of Nigeria, I don't blame those giving the young lady such an advise. All men are not bad but since no human being is a mind reader and can't predict the human heart, it is better to be safe than sorry. As a young lady living in a country where sexual crime is prevalent, she must be extremely careful. 1 Like |

@OP, Do you. Do whatever you think you are comfortable with. Don't allow others dictate your life. |

Well, dear sis. I see nothing bad in you living alone. I finished school at 22 years and I wasn't too interested in living with my parents and I told them I wanted to start life of my own, even we were inside the same city. They agreed and that was how I started my life. My advice, know the type of company that you keep, be careful and be cautious. 1 Like |

there is nothing wrong in living alone I see all the nairaland legends are up advising u. make sure ur environment is OK and know ur neighbors very and make friends with them so they can give you some feedback on the area. make sure ur house has a better security gate at least . don't tell people u don't trust u leave alone. some benefits of living alone is that u can sleep naked and wake up when u want to . i think am helpful. stay safe sister *winks* 1 Like |

Reading through your write up I couldn’t but wonder how you could write so well, how you’ve been able to see your self through school and develop into such a good writer. I think that story will make a stronger headline than this. We all know you can’t be sleeping in the street when you can afford to rent an apartment and you can’t possibly go back to your cousin’s house it’s not an option so.... it’s good |

AmIaYahooGirl: Well from my perspective I think you're at fault here seeking advice from people and sharing your personal life experience, trust me at the time you had the issue and you asked them for help they wouldn't but yet advice you to do anything to help yourself, now that you're doing well and you didn't wreck someone's marriage they be talking shit... If you ain't tired of shit then go live with people that ain't your blood, and you'd chop all kinda shit especially when they know you have no one to help you. For me I'd say you're doing great as long as you can afford the apartment and take care of yourself , then kudos to you strong lady 1 Like |

AmIaYahooGirl There's absolutely nothing wrong living alone at 23 years. It's not as though you'd not have loved living in your parents mansion and having a large room with an exquisite bath to yourself? Your circumstances have dictated where you are today. Take care of yourself. 1 Like |

AmIaYahooGirl: My dear... I'm glad I've seen people encouraging you to stay alone. There's nothing wrong with it. If where you're staying is safe please and please don't look for a room mate. Those that have roommates are leaving them to stay alone because of drama. Stay alone and stay safe. God bless our hustle... well done, you've done very well. You know what it means to stand tall. |

AmIaYahooGirl, It depends on your location and the size of the apartment. If it's a good area, why not? If not, try and find someone to share an ensuite apartment with... As in only sitting room and kitchen are what you share. It also reduces cost. Overall, nothing out of place if you live alone. I've been living and meeting my needs by myself since age 17, though im a M. |

That's how we are wired in these parts, that a young lady can't live alone. I remember returning from Enugu to Lagos and our vehicle developed a fault at Ore. It was evening so I checked into a hotel. Do you know what the receptionist, a man asked me? He said, "What of Oga?" He has that mentality that a woman can't be alone! I just created a story around Oga coming to join me later because of safety issues. There's nothing wrong with staying alone. Just be security conscious, be disciplined and be friendly with your neighbours, they're closer than family. |
