I have a great loving family with our own house full of food and food experts but i left my father's house, moved to my apartment b4 the age of 25 and i burned my boat so i would never think of going back home. my parents knew where I lived but were not allowed to come around there for almost 2 years.
I had money with me but i shrunk so bad that i had to change my clothes and even my belts cos i was no longer in a house where I could open the pot and eat free food every time. I now had to cook my own food. babes come around but i no allow any woman to light stove in my kitchen that time for over a year. i learnt how to cook by force.

now is the time for u to learn those things u did not learn in school and time for u to put your survival skills to the test. now is the time to learn how to discipline and mould yourself and work with your own time table and program.
I believe a young man should make this move and aspire to go further, go harder, go stronger, go wiser. if not, why bother ?

if you are thinking about going back home especially to a house where 3 of ur elders @ 30+ are still living, then you don't know why you came out in the first place. going back there will be like when you return from boarding school like a kid. you will be very welcome and pampered with food but then, all those ur elders will mock and taunt you till you faint. you start having distractions running errands with the time you should have been ussing to grow up on your own.

your decision to make.

as for me, frog no dey go back. I go further, go harder, go stronger, go wiser. if not, then why bother ?

Hmmm...that's some word man! I will need to re-organize myself and stick to my guns! No going back. Going stronger. Thanks man!

BuddhaPalm:
With a fridge and microwave you are set.

You could then pay someone to cook for just ONCE in a week...soup and stew.

In the beginning, I too, took soup from my mum weekly, and also went back every afternoon for Sunday rice.

Moving back should never be an option you should consider. You would lose the tons of personal growth & development that comes from independence.

You're a man now...your siblings have their own independent "races" to run.

That's a good idea. Maybe I go home once a week to get a flask of food,soup or stew. At least this will stop my mum from visiting me impromptu with food(I really want her to stop this). The only problem will then be to preserve the food(maybe I'll use my neighbour's freezer). Thanks man.

You do not need to go back home. Staying alone will make you focus and achieve all your desires speedily. Note, your parents wants the best for you also. But you know what makes you happy and what drives the happiness. The food issue... get a girlfriend, I'm sure she will help with the cooking... All the best.

Thank you. Hmm..girlfriend? I don't think that option is best for me at this time.

FEEDING ISSUE
when i 1st moved out i was just like you but my issue was that i "missed" my mum's cooking, so she would make soup, jollof rice, fried rice and i woull keep it in the freezer in daily portions, and all i had to do was take it out the freezer and defrost. problem solved!
in your case, you could also get a maid, if you can afford it, or buy frozen food from any proper supermarket (frozen pizzas etc) but it aint cheap... ultimately, get a gf to help in that dept (she doesnt even have to live with you), or LEARN TO COOK!

MOVING BACK HOME ISSUE
imho, dont do it! LIVE YOUR LIFE FULLY and if your brothas aint got your balls/opportunity then that is their problems. why should you have to pay for that? you have already tasted freedom/responsibility etc and you like it, there should be no turning back. sit your parents down and explain to them that as much as you love them, you are a MAN now, and need to live your damn life!

I've tried hiring someone to cook, but it's either too expensive or me being wary of the person's personal hygiene. I also don't have a freezer yet because the room is quite small plus poor power supply. Seriously, it's a difficult thing. Maybe I'll just stick with my cereals and canned foods while eating out once in a while. I'll keep your advice though. Thanks.

Hello, Nairaland family.

I've been thinking alone on this issue for a while, but decided to bring it here so I can get a more rounded solution.

I'm in my mid 20s, and very fortunate to have gotten a good education and a good, loving family. I happen to be this kind of highly-motivated, self-inspired, risk taker who loves to bask in the freedom of walking the journey alone. And this has greatly influenced the kind of life I lead.

After my university education, I decided to move away from my family(living in lagos). I had generated some cash through my several online gigs and tech projects, so in january this year I moved to a small self-contain apartment on the mainland. I will gladly say that I loved this decision and it has helped me achieve some of my new year goals.

Now the problem is, my feeding has been very poor, not because I don't have the money, but for my poor culinary skills, and I can't afford to eat out everytime. I don't have the time either to acquire a girlfriend and I can easily get deeply engrossed in my projects that I forget to feed.

The second problem is, since I left home, my parents especially my mum has been on my neck. Finding every opportunity to call my phone, visit me and bring me food like I'm on hospital admission. This is becoming very intrusive and starting to affect my focus. But the worst was yet to come.

Last weekend, my parents visited me again, and this time they had to drop the bomb. They wanted me to come back home after my rent expires, citing reasons that my 3 older siblings(in their 30s) are still sticking with them. I didn't want to oppose them or make arguments so I told them I would think about it.

Now, I seem to be confused. I love this independence and I feel I'm building something great for myself. But then, the easy choice of going back home to mummy's great food and care is really tempting.

So, I need your candid advice on what you think is the best step to take. Am I tredding the wrong path? Do I need to stand firm on my decision? Please say

LuvMercy:
If you are a business person, or you have idea about businesses that could be started with 70-100k, kindly drop the hints and how such businesses are being run. Thank you

foodstuff supply is a money spinner. Most people either do not know this or are just not interested. If you can have farmers' contacts or know where to get cheap foodstuffs like stock fish, red oil, snail or garri, you'll be in money sooner than later. You can even choose to produce or rear some of these stuffs yourself and you'll be going home with up to 200 percent of your startup capital. That's if you love the hustle involved though.

ogedanny:
I need your assistant. just got a mail from CCHub Nigeria that my idea has been shortlisted for an interview on Skype for an opportunity to receive upto $25000. Any idea on how to present my startup idea and growth strategy?

I thought you've already pitched through your application. The interview would probably be about assessing you and ironing out some little details about the idea. Have you created a website for your idea? What sector are you focusing on?

If you're looking for a professional copywriter to organize available data(both text and infographics) and turn them into useful information, then we can work together. Just outline your work plan and your target, and I'll take off from there.

I've been here before. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY will invest in your idea if you haven't invested anything. I'll advise you to scale down and start from somewhere.

But I heard some guys received adsense payment thru UBA savings account. I would love the dorm account but don't have time to pursue guarantors. Thanks btw

JLM:
I dont kno about wire transfer, but in my own case, I was asked toopen a perfect mony account, then i registered with one of the approved Perfect money exchangers called NigerianGoldExchange(NGE) using my bank statement for last 3 months and utility bill.

The sender had a perfect money account too so she just transfered money in dollars to my own PM account and Used the NGE echange to withdraw it to my UBA account. The whole processtook about 3days,cos I had to wait to be verified by the NGE people since the money I was dealing with was above $100. I dont kno maybe u can try this, in case u cannot, then think of doing western union, dats d easiest.

Thanks a lot

wakacome:
Do you want to hear the truth??those domain names are nice and marketable...especially the ebankingapps.....

Thanks man.

Hello guys. 2sex, legalwealth et al, I must say you guys have been absolutely wonderful with this thread. Actually, I came across this thread last month and started reading from page one, learning with keen interest. All I can say is that you guys have opened my eyes to a money spinner. Now, I'm at the 204th page of this thread, exhausted and almost running mad with analysis paralysis. So, yesterday I decided to test the waters. I found some godaddy $0.99 promo codes and registered three domains. Here they are:
ebankingapps dot com;
mongrelsforsale dot com;
pearldealers dot com

Now, I'm moving over to google to research buyers and also later open my sedo account to see what I can do.

A big thank you to you all. God bless.

Hello, is it possible to transfer money to your paypal from a foreign client(as I don't have a paypal account) and receive the money in my account in Nigeria?

Please, has anyone here ever received foreign wire transfer into their UBA Nigeria savings account? I'm considering it as a way to receive money and I want to be sure before going ahead. Serious responses please.

huzyboy:
This is to change your location to another country. Using fiverr with Nigeria as your country might not get you much sales (sometimes no sales at all)

Ok. Understood.

NairaQuest:
Can I send you some stock market numbers and you send me a report based on those numbers for a test?

Alright. I'll give a short report(of about 500 - 600 words) on the numbers for a test. But, it will be posted right here on this thread?

Just go to whatismyipaddress.com you'll see the country there
