I want to find an apartment but na money kill am.
I will be turning 30 on october and im still living with my parents. I feel like i have failed in life at my age.

It pains me that as a guy, i dont have my own apartment. Apartments are so expensive now than before. And i dont have friends that i can squat in their house.
What should i do?


Bro there's nothing Wrong with your life... You are perfectly OK... At 30 I had no bearing or hope of any kind but Jesus Found me .. Dont let anyone deceive you. theres no criteria or standard for success.. Some of them boasting now could go dead broke tomorrow.... There's nothing wrong with your life..
Yahoo is not an option.. Its addictive and destroys alot

Living with your parent is even grace that you have them to lean on..

Your life ain't bad.. Its just the ups and downs all humans experience in their journey in life..

Take this time to find God and dwell in him and all will be well and he will surely direct your path..

Dont have suicidal thoughts.. most successful people you see today also went through this...

Drink the Garri you see with Joy and don't let the issues in your house get to you.. It will surely pass....

Apartment is Not the First Step

the First Step is to get a Good pay Job...Save and then start with a very small Apartment like a 1 room.

if Not You will still fall back on your parent when you cannot pay the next rent.

Na frustration be that o

Op dont mind the werey wey say you should do yahoo. One day him money wey he got via fraudulent means will disappear like a flash in his eyes. I am 28 i am still in my parents house. I earn 6 figures, i bought my land and i am an entrepreneur. I am not ready for marriage i can rent an apartment if i want. Moral of the story, stay in your parents house if you feel it is comfortable for you, when you have made enough money automatically you will get an apartment for yourself, dont let anyone put you into depression mode. And dont bow to pressure. You are only a failure if you refuse to start from somewhere no matter how small it is.

OP, don't be discouraged. Learn a skill, search inwards to know what interests you and you can build a business around. Your entire life can change within a year.

Don't listen to the voices of evil. What is money if it doesn't come with the required peace of mind. Life on earth is only a phase.

This is what I call ministry of violence.

I'm sure if you care to find out, that individual who made that nonsense comment doesn't have anything going on for him, and probably he's still living with his parents or squatting with a friend.

Same situation but turning 30 later this month. Don't overthink it, trust your process. We're all on different paths, looking at other people will only get you frustrated.

you’ve have been brainwashed by western religion. What’s bad in visiting baba alawo or Dibia if that’s what he believes in ?…










………………………………..……………………………



Anyway @op
1. thank God that your parents are alive .
2. Thank God your parents have their own house
3. Thank God that you’re healthy .
Now listen to me

You’re not a failure , and I believe you’ve tried your best before you could come on nairaland ..
They’re your parents, don’t be ashamed living with them..

If you have good relationship with them , don’t leave!, rather , contribute to financial needs of the house.

Find a job , Pick up one or two bills , ( filling gas, nepa bills ) and Dey try add money for food wey una Dey chop.

If you’re doing this, they will be happy and praying for you .. trust me they understand your predicament ,

Avoid relationship at this stage , after paying bills at home , save towards business .. and while doing this , learn one or two skills ,
Trust me if you focus and dedicate three years to savings and investing plus learning skills , in 5 years you will be comfortable, and it’s possible to have built your own house by then ( anything Is possible ).,

Nothing good comes easy!..

Some people build their lives from their parents home and most of them self pay bills more than the ones who rent outside.
Abi what’s the point in hustling to pay a year rent and not be able to renew the tenancy ?..

Use what’s at your disposal to start your life.

The goal is to be successful not competition ..

May God be with you . Amen

CaveAdullam:
1. Calm down man. It is not easy anywhere in the world, especially in Africa, and Nigeria. But we do think it's always greener on the other side of the fence.

2. The economic and political terrain has been ruffled by corrupt leaders and politicians, hence, the current problem we are facing. Now we all can understand that it is not doing what makes you happy but what is the right thing.

3. The exacerbation of our predicament is also due to the prevalence of social media, we see the few successful people making headlines, all of the news and in every post and we do think we are failures. The reality is that these few people gained success either by chance, hard work, or charity from friends and family.

4. As a result of the effect of social media on the economic state of the nation, fraudulent activities have taken over, now a teenager who doesn't measure up to your level of intellect and exposure is the one now dictating the tune of the piper. It is a sad reality.

5. As humans, we only have a tiny control over how our lives go. But many do think that we can get whatever we desire by positive thinking and working hard all day. Though, there are some truths in the statement but not the whole truth.

A. You don't have control over the country you will be born.

B. You don't have control over your genetics.

C. You don't have control over your government.

D. You don't have control over the economy; you can't dictate peoples' buying and selling tendencies. The market is way emotional.

E. You can't dictate the legislature.

F. You don't choose your family, and can't even control them to the extent you want.

G. Different things cumulate and they are the deciding factors of our lives; our decisions and positive thinking are all that we have got to manage ourselves amidst the changes and storms of life.

6. It is not easy, but you must start from somewhere. It is hard for the ones enabling themselves not to talk of the unemployed, depressed and suicidal.

7. Look within, what do you have? What can you do? Where are you at the moment? Use this to start planning.

8. Don't set any resolution or target, you don't have control over the circumstances of life and how people will behave. The goal now is to engage in something worthy and start planning and building from there.

9. Life is filled with joy and laughter; peace and war; hope and anxiety, failures and success. You may be on the negative side of life today, and maybe tomorrow you will be on the positive side - it is all hope and a coping mechanism but we wish the good for ourselves and our loved ones.

10. Connect with people that are better than you. Go to places where you will either gain knowledge or money, or both. But better to remain in solitude than mingle with those who won't sharpen your life and experience.

11. If You want a beautiful edifice, start laying the foundation.

Time and chance happen to them all.

Thanks.
You've got wisdom deep rooted in you. I think is not bad being ur pen friend. Mention me, let me have ur watsap number.

I advices my bf to get a land build a house with the money he collected from Yahoo, I advices to open a business and put someone there to help him manage and am the one supervising it. look at him now he has two buildings and he is a landlord on his own and he hasn't gone far in age. Looking at him always happy I didn't flirt that money with him he is doing well, nd am happy.

Present day Nigeria situation and to make matters worst, some average parents are still supporting their married children financially even at 40. My advice is move out of the house by all means necessary and start living.
You will have a different approach to things when you start paying house rents, utility bills and personal upkeep.

You will surely pay for that yahoo you dey do o. Na spiritual law, if you cause others to go through pains, you cannot escape it, you will go through it yourself. If you like repent and stop it, if you like continue, but for sure, you must reap whatever you sow.

Do you have any legitimate thing you are doing presently that can feed you, if yes then ask your parents to assist you to get a one room accommodation

But if you feel you can afford that one room, then go for it

It's their choice to choose between a profitable skill or yahoo, which I stated earlier... Did I force anyone or put a gun on anyone's head?

Honestly, una no try.. I swear. angry

Your comment was quoted already. So. Is. All over the thread.

Even though yahoo is illegal, I see where you stated "hurzle all night I no dey sleep " which means what ever you do. require hard work.

Why speaking like a woman, they are the ones scared of a particular age.
Anyone telling you Nigeria is not hard is lying big time, I pay the most bills of my parents family, but I still live with them so I can curb promiscuity, I know myself, like this sef, I do lodge hotels once in a while then imagine if I stay alone, my ashawo go get better style, girls and my guys know I am doing well for myself, at least I am contented with the little I have achieved and hoping for more.

If I am to leave my parents house then I will be getting married in the next year, so I don't have plans for that now, I am still a student and I hope to have atleast 6 landed properties before I leave them, don't allow anybody kill your self-esteem, you are better than most of them it's just that your secret is wide open unlike theirs, so achieve what you want while staying with your parents, they won't chase you and will still borrow you funds willingly if they have unlike when you ask others. I can remember when my mother pushed for a loan for me, but when she wanted to take it I had gotten the money from somewhere else.

So you aren't a failure, Nigeria is just hard, we aren't where we want to be but we are happy for Life, Buhari's regime killed 90% of my plans, I killed 5% with my own hands and only 5% worked out, so that's how life is for many of us now.

Life isn't about who arrived first, the goal is to be rich and healthy at our 50's and retirement age, according to my elderly friends, na that time life dae sweet pass not even our youth, the youthful age is the time for laying solid foundations, so don't envy those buying cars and carrying leftover girls, build your future bro.
