They need to change that coach before December

Sorry to inform you

Coaches like

Pep
Mourinho
Sir Alex

Can't be replaced

You will keep hiring and firing for yrs

Gunayo:
Man city really got it wrong to have sold Rodri to Barcelona. No be juju be that. Without a good midfielder, it will be difficult for them to make top 4 not to talk of winning the league.

Without Pep
De bryune
Rodri

Haaland will most definitely leave to another club next season

And the fall of city starts

Tijani009:
For three different tickets ooo, and na Dem be my hope to pay house rent next month oooooo

Very bad investment

There are 10 big teams playing today with weaker teams you could have picked and avoid city

You no see PSV?

Na only premier league una dey bet

;D33


Even when Pep was there, bournemouth dey worry city wella.

So na this Lesson teacher wan beat bournemouth

The engine of mancity is Rodri or a strong midfield. Pep football is all about owning the midfield. Attack can score anytime

These ones are just running up and down

80 yrs old running for president because we are the leaders of tomorrow

Simone Biles who is 4’8” is happily married. Nobody knows you in Sango Ota. My guy, if you like the woman, make her your wife.

What about you, can you marry that height?

People will always stare at you guys walking because the height difference is going to be very obvious

And in most cases will look like you're walking with your younger sister

Advantages are, she's cute. Easy to carry, fun to be with, most short ladies are very clingy to their man, also very loyal

So

Will you let her go if you really like her just because of her height?

And what are the other disadvantages you can think of with the height difference?

emmy512:
Seems you’re talking to me
I’m at this phase rn

Don't think it too much

Marry her asap if she worships you.

A wife is different from a friend

Your wife should make your life easier

Any woman that doesn't worship you, doesn't respect you. Just watch how she worships her pastor or boss

Men love
Women respect
Women don't love men!!!!!

I am done dating good girls o

They are the worst, cheating is all written all over them

You see those ones with piercing and tattoos that y'all run away from are the ones that are really loyal and give the best experience while dating, those things indicate she is fighting some battles inside her especially from her past, if the tattoos are moderate and it is around the arm or legs as long as it is not on the breast or back waist. I'll choose her over any church girl

Single Room vs Self-Contain: Which One Should You Rent when your Finances are down?


"Don't let anyone pressure you into renting an apartment you'll regret because you can't renew the rent. Today, I'll show you the difference between a single room and a self-contain, and which one is actually the smarter choice if you have a tight budget"


A lot of people assume that a self-contain is always the better option because it offers more privacy. While that's true in many cases, the best choice depends on your budget, lifestyle, and long-term financial goals.

Single Room
A single room means you have your own room, but you'll usually share the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen with other tenants.
Advantages:
Much cheaper rent.
Lower agency, agreement, and caution fees.
Ideal for students, NYSC members, apprentices, and anyone trying to save money.
Gives you the opportunity to build your finances before moving to a bigger apartment.

Disadvantages:
Shared toilet and bathroom can be frustrating.
Less privacy.
Cleanliness depends on other tenants.
More likely to experience noise or disagreements.

Room Self-Contain
A self-contain gives you your own private room, toilet, bathroom and kitchen.
Advantages:
Complete privacy.
Better hygiene since you're not sharing facilities.
More comfortable for couples or people working from home.
Less stress from dealing with other tenants.
Disadvantages:
More expensive.
Higher utility costs.
Keeping above 1m to 1.5m as a starting point in securing the apartment alone

Which One Gives Better Value while trying to rebuild your finances?
If you're earning a modest income or trying to save aggressively, a single room is often the smarter financial decision. Paying less for rent means you have more money left for food, transportation, emergencies, or even saving towards a better apartment in the future.

Many people who live in Single room are not necessarily poor, some are Agreesively saving alot of money to build their houses or saving for a business, As long as the single room is in a decent compound, Saving extra 500k to 1m on rent is an added advantage in rebuilding your finances

[center]90% of the time, single rooms are usually bigger in sizes and have more space than the modern Roomself contain which are usually very small and can't even accommodate enough properties[/center]

To put in context, not renting a Roomself contain for 1.2m to rent a decent single room for 1 yr or 2, can save you 1m yrly which you can put into building your finances back up

However, if you can comfortably afford a self-contain without struggling every month, while having a decent savings account, then the extra privacy and convenience are worth paying for.

My Final Advice
After helping hundreds of people rent apartments over the years, I've learned one important lesson:
Never rent an apartment just to impress people. Rent what you can comfortably afford.

Many tenants make the mistake of stretching their budget just to live in a self-contain, only to struggle with feeding, transportation, and other bills afterward.
I'd rather see you rent a clean, secure single room, save consistently, and upgrade later than live in an expensive apartment that leaves you broke every month.

Your Apartment should not take More than 1 to 3 months of your yrly income!!!

"Many people save only for rent and then get stranded after collecting the keys. Before you rent any apartment on the Mainland, here are the expenses you must budget for."

1. Rent
This is the biggest cost, but it's only the beginning.
Know the annual rent and confirm whether it's fixed or if there are any planned increases. Always ask for a receipt after payment.


2. Agency Fee
In many rentals, you'll pay an agency fee in addition to the rent.
Before paying, ask:
How much is the agency fee?
Is it a percentage or a fixed amount?
Note No receipt for this amount is issued

3. Legal Agreement Fee
Most landlords prepare a tenancy agreement.
Read it carefully before signing. Make sure you understand:
The duration of the tenancy.
Rules on renewal.
Notice period before moving out.
Any restrictions on the property.
No receipt is issued for this also

4. Caution or Damage Deposit
Some landlords collect a "supposed" refundable caution fee for damages.
Ask:
Under what conditions will it be refunded?
Is there written proof of the amount paid?
"Put at the back of your mind, that money is just a formality and no receipt for it"

5. Service or Estate Charges (If Applicable)
If the apartment is in an estate or serviced compound, there may be extra charges for:
Security
Waste disposal
Cleaning
Water supply
Compound maintenance
Find out exactly what is covered.

6. Electricity Expenses
Don't assume electricity is already sorted.
Ask:
Is there a prepaid meter?
Is the meter shared?
Are there outstanding electricity bills?
How reliable is the power supply and who pays for the electricity to pump the water?

7. Water Supply
Water problems can become expensive.
Confirm:
Is there a working borehole?
Is water available daily?
Will you need to buy water regularly?

8. Moving Costs
Moving isn't free.
Budget for:
Hiring a vehicle.
Labour to carry your belongings.
Fuel if you're moving yourself.

9. Basic Household Items
Many people forget this part.
You may need to buy:
Bed and mattress
Gas cooker or stove
Gas cylinder
Fan or air conditioner
Curtains
Buckets and cleaning supplies
Kitchen utensils
Wardrobe or storage shelves
These costs add up quickly.

10. Emergency Fund
Don't spend every naira on getting the apartment.
Keep some money aside for unexpected expenses such as:
Minor repairs.
Replacing faulty locks.
Buying additional household items.
Medical emergencies.


Final Advice
One of the biggest mistakes tenants make is saving only enough for the rent. A smart renter budgets for every cost involved, so moving into a new apartment becomes exciting instead of financially stressful.
A typical example is, if your rent is 500k, you should budget another extra 300k for legal, agency and Damages fee then 200k for moving and emergency funds

"Before you pay for any apartment in Shomolu or Bariga, these 3 red flags could save you hundreds of thousands of naira."

1[b]. The Rent Is Far Below the Market Price[/b]
If a decent apartment is being advertised for much less than similar apartments in the same area, be careful.

For example, if most mini flats on that street rent for ₦800,000–₦1,000,000 a year and someone offers one for ₦350,000 with no reasonable explanation, don't rush.

Scammers know that people searching for cheap apartments are more likely to act quickly.

What to do: Compare prices with several similar apartments in the same neighborhood before making any payment.

2. You're Being Pressured to Pay Before Proper Verification

This is one of the biggest warning signs.
Statements like:
"Pay now before another person takes it."
"The landlord is traveling today."
"You can't inspect until you make half or full payment."
should make you slow down.

A genuine rental process should allow you to:
Inspect the apartment.
Confirm the landlord or authorized agent.
Understand all the costs.
Ask questions before paying.
Never let urgency replace proper verification.

3. The Apartment Has Serious Hidden Problems
A freshly painted apartment can hide expensive issues.
Before paying, check for:

Water supply: Is there water throughout the day?
Drainage: Does the compound flood during heavy rain?
Roof leaks and damp walls.
Stable electricity and meter arrangement.
Security of the street and compound.
Toilets, bathrooms, doors, windows, and plumbing.
Access roads, especially during the rainy season.

An apartment that looks beautiful on video may become a daily headache if these issues aren't checked.


Final Advice

Finding an affordable apartment is important, but finding a safe, genuine, and livable apartment is even more important.
Take your time, inspect properly, verify who you're paying, and don't let anyone pressure you into making rushed decisions. Spending an extra day checking the details can save you months of stress and hundreds of thousands of naira.
