So true

Oh, and not only that, but the fact that the dependency increases with time, and until you put a stop to it, they will never voluntarily stand on their own.

Even if they have a source of income, they will hide it and always put up an image of being wretched, helpless, hopeless, that if you don't immediately intervene, all hell will break.

Most people are stone, not seed. In fact even people that are seed are seeds because there is no one to parasite from. Humans by nature are users, it's part of our evolutionary survival mechanism.

And the weaker the person, the more expert they are in the art of being permanently dependent on any willing host. You need a healthy amount of indifference to grow, or else, you'll end up working for people that will ask you, "what have you done for me? "

Learn from animals. Chicken for example will force the chicks I think after like two months or less, to go survive on their own. The mother chicken doesn't care if they die, that's nature doing it's work (survival of the fittest).

I raise chicken as a boy and I observe this dynamics very well. The mama will bite them and just loose love for them one faithful morning, then all the chicks begin to survive on their own.

Deal with humans like that. You must help to a reasonable extent, but if you see any sign that your beneficiary is a stone, my guy, dump him and move on.

Thats exactly what Jesus was explaining in the parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13.6-9). No point a barren tree wasting soil, water and resources, cut it off. It's useless.

Ibadan rent is now on high side.. landlord don't even want you to spend a year before they give you notice. Agency fees pass Lagos on.. Abeg, Oyo state government Should intervene on this matter.. The most painful part is No job in Ibadan that can even paid your house rent alone with transportation... Omo! Ibadan is becoming something else.. just attend interview in Ibadan, highest pay is now 70k, in fact I saw 45k for master degree...

Job pay 45k
House rent 350k/ annual
Transportation
Feeding/

What next??

I concur getting a good affordable accommodation in Ibadan now is a herculean task... price is relatively high compared to the income obtainable
