Can 2M be enough for a single guy to rent a house and living comfortably in Lagos?

I'm currently living with my parents and I'll be 22 by June.. I plan on moving out of their house by the end of this year or latest, early next year (so help me my creator)...

But I'd like to know or have a rough Idea of how much I should budget to live comfortably... I've place my budget at 2M for rent and other amenities or accessories. I'll be schooling at LASU and I know the price for a decent room and parlour self con is around that kind 200-250k....so guys, please help me out.

Bros You want to carry that Amount to go Rent house and Buy Amenities Chai ! The Next Following Year you will Pay again on and on and on .

Why Cant you just Look for one Single.Room Apartments with Toilet and Bath arround Lasu which you will definately Get .

Add just 1 Million to that 2 Million Naira and come and buy Half Plot of Land 30 By 120 for 3 Million Naira in an Area where they have 24 Electrical Light ..The Place is called Ijagba Obasanjo Area ...You can come through Ayobo Area of Lagos self .

From Lasu to Odoeran Oko Oloyun b.stop then to Lafenwa Itele bstop then to Ijagba Area .

You will start building little by Little ,This Becomes your Personal Property for Life ..

Think about This ..
Imagine 24 Hours Light.

You can even get a land of 300sqm and start developing it.

lanrefront1:
I don't think 2 million will be enough. In my own estimation you'll need like 10 million.

My advice: try and push your 750k-profit-a-month business to 2-million-profit every month; that will give you 24 million a year revenue. That way you can easily afford 10 million naira every year for your rent and expenses.

You are not facing anything , A house you were able to raise 2m+ , you ain't going through sh*t, you just want freedom of carrying olosho and getting high

Delusional peeps.

This is the reason why Poverty keeps spreading in Africa. Forcing people to go face the Harsh Realities out there.

A country where the Government have no Social Care for her Citizens.

This is the reason why CRIMES, PROSTITUTION, CHEATING IN BUSINESSES and All forms of Vices is very rampant nowadays.

Fooools still comparing old good days when Shiiithole was still working to nowadays.

bitbillionaire:
You need to work harder bro. N2 million is too small to live a decent life in today's Nigeria.

First have a target of making that N2 million monthly consistently. Once you achieve that your next target should be to make N2 million on a weekly basis. Once you achieve that your final target should be making N2 million EVERYDAY consistently. After that you can then relax and enjoy your life.

Good luck bro

You dey craze? What do you do? How much is 750k if that's what you actually earn? You dey whine your elders for here abi.

Don't worry! Whatever position you are currently, either broke or being real with your 750k temporary income... You are still a broke ass. A man without a wisdom is a foolish man

You say you are a student, you have no job. If you are a Christian, read the story of the prodigal son.
You would come back crawling and begging.
You don't yet have experience with money management. You really don't know too much about investments.
I understand that some homes can be frustrating for a young man but learn to endure. Use your 2 million wisely don't invest it in rebellion.

Kai no need "fooool" word.
Anyway, people start life quicker abroad because as you rightly said, social support etc. Student loans and the rest.
Remember those days in the UK year 2000, my then fiance and I will stoll and look at little kids pushing baby pram with a baby in it and already pregnant with the second. A young boy ie hubby strolling along. People less than 18 ohh. We were already in our late 20s.
I was informed that even young girls intentionally get pregnant so they could claim council flats along with cash benefits from social services. Can you imagine?
Ofcourse, once they start working at early age modgage is available.
Anyway, funny thing about naija, 50 years ago, they said it was hard, in the 70s, 90, 2000, 2023. Same thing. It will also be said till infinity.

One thing that still amazes me, go all around, to lekki, Alimosho, epe, Sango etc, go and see how houses are springing up! Buying houses for 500m, 250m even higher. Howww? In this suffering times? How do they do it?
Just go to the mm2 airport during summer. The airport will be filled with families jetting out, some buying for their whole families business class, first class tickets worth 8m per person! Howww?

My point is no time has naija worked. In every generation same problem, but some people still make the best out of it.
The prayer is let's be among those that make the best of the situation.

As a student, if you live decently, that fund will be enough till you graduate.

Ha! Prodigal son? Haba, he did not ask for inheritance money from his parents. He earned his money and wants to move out. This country has made a grown man of 22 seem to be still in his tender age.
Soldiers dying in the army, driving nuclear squbmarines, aircraft carriers, flying jets etc are even younger than 22.
