hello nairalanders.

I am thinking of getting a decent self contain partment in lagos that is close to my work place. I am currently employed with a salary scale of about a 100k, and for now I have no alternative source of income except my current job which is a govt job. I am just scared I might not be able to sustain the rent cus I only have my salary to depend on for now, and I will still have some other commitments like family etc.

I was thinking of getting a decent one room, like a face me I slap u, till am able to gather my home furnitures, and also try to develop myself in terms of certifications, or learning some IT skills, then I can move to a decent self contain. The only fear is the last time I lived that life was my University days.

Can a salary of 100k sustain an apartment here in Lagos?

Your comments are highly welcome

Lagos is very expensive, I earn more than 4times your salary , I still cant afford an apartment close to my office

The more you earn, the more your taste for better things increase....

SmartPolician:
Gbemishile, what part of Lagos is your company located?

That's the best way to start.

Meanwhile, Seun does not want to fix snail-paced Nairaland now.

He probably wants us to dump the site for him like most of us plan to dump Nigeria for Buhari and his minions.

Bornsinner7:
Yes.. it is up to you.. all you need do is know your spendings..

You fit put ashawo for road make she dey balance you make you use that one as side hustle for the main time before you learn the IT skill

RedSquid:
Yes it can

You will be fine. You can get such apartments in many parts of Lagos and 100k monthly will sustain it nice nice. It will even sustain a room self contain apartment. The annual rent for that always ranges between 150 and 220k depending in area, agency fees inclusive. After first year, the annual rent is around 120/150k. Your monthly salary can cover this and you'll be enjoying a good life at it.

sirblend:
If you work at Lekki you can get a room and parlor around Sangotedo axis for 200-300k.

Point of correction not buhari if you cannot call him jubril call it something else, The l... buhari is somewhere else weeping for us to do the right thing

Damnnn niggarrrr
First of all government jobs are secured...especially federal government job and your promotion is sure ...the salary comes at the appropriate time ...but that doesn't mean you should be comfortable.....because government jobs dey lead to poverty if you are comfortable with it...get more certification and develop yourself
So if you want to go for self contain ..then I support
And always try to differentiate your needs from your want...and don't think because you got a nice apartment....then ngozi or Sandra can pack her things and join you without her doing anything to bring money...if you try that shit...I bet you Ngonzi will get pregnant and una go begin born children....na so una poverty go start....the poverty go tie wrapper and gele

Face me I slap you kind of Apartment is not what you should settle for....


Ogbeni..I still dey try small small...nor be say I brilliant like that.....I dey dull finish sometimes

Which area in Lagos are you talking of getting a selfcon for 120k? I'm sure not on the mainland cos all I've been getting is 600k, 700k. The least Ive seen so far is 350k and it's not really available. Maybe in ikorodu though and that's a no no for me.


Op, you can get a single room selfcon in a very good area for 350k and I think with 100k you're good to go.

House issue In Lagos especially those central parts of Lagos.

Thank you.
