My people i have been in search of accommodation (mini flat) in Lagos for some time now and it is gradually becoming depressing for me.

Notice will be due by January and forceful eviction will be used.

I live In a room self contain but my compound was sold and we were evicted.

Na so search begin o.

I decided to opt for mini flat because I am 31yrs old and see myself settling down in 2024. I don't want a situation where I rent a room then when I marry I start going through same stress again.

I am a hustler with no fix Pay. There are months I make like 150k while there are months I don't even get up to 60k (like this December).

Also, I have another passive income that gets me like 25k weekly (this one just began).

For my liabilities.... I remit 5k to my mom weekly for upkeep and I also support my fiancee with 5k ( make una no raise alarm grin, babe has paid her dues and stuck by me when times were rough), feeding and transport gup like 2k daily


But here are the two options I have.


1. I got a mini flat in Ikeja which is 600k yearly.

Two toilets, personal prepaid meter, N400 to and fro to my place of work, in a serene environment, also with running water.

My fear is just the rent, I am scared I may be working for landlord OR may find it hard to pay. But I look at the prospect of serenity, raising kids and connecting with people in a civilized environment. There is also possibility of it getting increased after two years.

Total package to secure this 850k (if I pay this I don't have another money to even move my properties).


2. I got another accommodation this one is in A place in iyana ipaja

Mini flat
Estimated meter
Quite inside, more like a rural area
Possibility of getting robbed late at night is high
Possibility of getting disturbed by flood and spend longer hours in traffic
400k per annum (I can easily pay this)
The roads are bad.
Cost of moving from there to work may be like N1000 to and fro.
Total packaged to secure the rent, 650k

Please l am confused.

Looking at my earnings, the pros and cons which of the two will be a wise decision

Please your suggestions will be appreciated
