Guys. This is literally my story.

I was on the mainland (Ijanikin, Close to Agbara and Badagry) and got a job on the island (Marina) that pays 85,000.

My transport every day was 1000 naira every day.

I would wake up 4:30am and by 5am I was at the bus stop. Anything more, and I would be late for work.

Every day I would spend about 5hours in traffic. Iyana Iba, Costain, Volks, Underbridge.

I literally was going through serious stress. Sometimes I would arrive at work looking and feeling exhausted.

Then I looked for an apartment closer to work.

I knew surulere would be my best best.

The minimum cost for anything decent is 300,000. The agents were not merciful, the Landlords too.

Then I got an apartment for 250,000 agent 60, agreement 60. Totalling 370,000.

Then my stress drastically reduced. Transport at the time reduced to about 500 back and forth.

I also cut down on all my other expenses.

Even tho it looked like I was working for three months to pay my rent. I was happy. I was more productive and I could do more with the extra hours I spent in the traffic.

There is no one size fits all advise in this case.

Lagos is a very crazy place and if you have been in the job market for a long time, you really do not have a lot of options when a job offer comes. You just have to start with the hopes for improvement.

Get your apartment, if it will cause you less stress.
But you must be very shrewd in your spending going forward.

Remember you will feed, pay utility bills, clothe and still send back home.

So.

I wish you well brother.

Guys, this is a lie. Don't believe her one bit. She is making fun of anti-feminists.

Hi guys,

So I stay in a Mini flat in Surulere at the moment.

I am looking to move from this current apartment I stay in because I have water and Heat issues, even tho it is an upstairs apartment.

Is there anybody that stays in Surulere, looking to move out?

I am looking at getting a Mini Flat too but without the Agent and Agreement Wahala and extra costs.

Kindly buzz me on 08072896706.

I would appreciate this favour.

Egbon make I send CV? I wan be high value too bros make you supervise me. So I go fit dey make extra more schange... HEHEH

E still dey shack u...

When u get made and u are truly big, u will value her having time to do the things u need a woman for, than over rating a woman who is totally married to her career...Emphasis on totally...

At that point, her money go be small schange to you and the hype of whatever career she has will mean nothing to u.

A woman in love makes time for the one she loves...dont get carried away by title or career and forget the basics...my advise for u is to date a couple more "high-value" women as u call them and dont let love blind u from seeing that a woman who has never visited u at your town, makes u spend 3 days without seeing her (even when u visit) e t.c. is not ideal for u...

I have supervised "high value" women who call in sick when their love is in town...

Bro take the money and start another business. Then employ her there.

So you can conveniently sponsor your family.

BiafranBushBoy:
Back then I was earning about 80k from my regular job and about $250 from my side hustle.

The rent was 400k per year since its a serviced apartment. They take care of everything for you.

Was I able to pay the rent the next time it expired?

Yes... I knew my hustle would bloom... So it wasn't much of an issue...

The difference between my rent and my earnings now is several thousands of dollars... And I don't work full time again.

So you can calculate yours and make sure that your rent doesn't take more than 30% of your annual rent.

Bush boy show your boy way? How can I earn extra man.?

Auzu billahi minash shaitan rajeem!!!

As long as most ladies can cover up their filth and look like a million bucks, they are fine.
See how unkempt this one's hair is..Maybe that's why she had to cover it up.

But the grinding machine just wanted to expose her.

Anyways, Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'un.

Guys what kind of animal comment is this?

I hear their business strategy was to train young developers and outsource them to the american market.

Now, the American market i hear is saturated, hence the need to lay off these ones.

I know it will just be a matter of time before Tacha's army comes for Ebuka.
Ebuka asked her a simple question and she fumbled, not once and not twice.
The question was pretty straight forward, yet she couldn't answer and you blame Ebuka for that?
All these Tacha fans sef..... Where una dey commot from?

Bros that was unprofessional of Ebuka.

He asked a question. and she answered how she pleased.

What is the fuss?

Is Ebuka now the host, and judge of the BB naija?

I watched the clip on IG, so make we stop this emotional nonsense- because we don't like a person, we no go dey reason straight.

Sensima na song abeg.

Dear Nairalanders,

You will help me here:

I was with 2 agents all through today, looking for a simple one-room self-contained apartment, around Surulere.

Brethren I saw terrible things:

Dilapidated buildings with prices at 200K, 250K, 300K per year: minus the standard agent, agreement, and caution fee.

So guys, here's my question: how much did you get your current apartment at, total package, and subsequent fees?

Help me stay guided.

I get a serious headache like this: also if there is an agent in the house please reach me lets talk: 0 8 0 7 2 8 9 6 7 0 6.

Iamleaving:


My time on Nairaland is gradually winding down. My mission is completed. I have fought the good fight. I have learned from everyone. A man cannot remain in a place forever. If given the opportunity, I will be making my final submission after the unblocking of my original account @Richdad50.

I have written nuggets that reach millions of people worldwide without much ado but here, I have been blocked repeatedly for uncountable times. Free speech is not free here. Believe me.

One of the things I discovered that have prevented Nairaland from moving to the sphere of recognized social media sites is the MODs. They are thin skinned and a bunch of spoilt kids who know nothing but banning. Easily provoked and consequentially disruptive to a flow. They lack modern initiative and ideas to move beyond the wrench. Nairaland has the capacity to become a reference like Twitter and Facebook in Nigeria but will never be in this current system and style.

Like hawks they are coming for this account to delete. They never take criticism and believe in their heart they are doing you a favour alas, it is the other way round. They will delete this in a few minutes but they can never delete your mentions.

Richdad

you have my respect
