Life In Lagos Is Getting Harder. Pls Help... by ultiabaz36(op): 12:55am On Jan 10, 2022
It quite unfortunate that with my 150k I can't secure a R/P self-contained. I woke early this weekend, even earlier than my normal week day just because I want to go and look for shelter.

I have met with four different agent paying 12k agency fee but still telling same stories that with my 150k, I can get R/P but it will not have contained. I asked them what do they mean by getting R/P without contained, they said the house will lack water and electricity.

Gush! I said to them, I am not a Yahoo boy and my salary no pass 50k after hard labour for 30days and sometimes 32days but they said all the houses in Lagos is not for salary earner again but for the Yahoo boys and those related to Yahoo guys.

I wan cry today after I waka all the ipaja and it's axis looking wetin no lost and upon all d wahala, nothing show up. Then, I begin to reason in an abnormal way that is it the Landlords or the agents or the Yahoo boys that really made the cost of leaving in Lagos high laidis abi no be Lagos wey we dey rent house for 70k in 10yrs ago be dz. What has really changed gan paapa?

I met one fresh guy as I was about going home cos I am stressed out already. The way I see d guy, he came down from one car, vensa, very neat. I guess his age, I go old pass am but I said to him, Bros I need help ni o. He asked wetin I need? I told him I need like 1k dt I want eat and I want carry transport go work tomorrow (cos fear dey catch to touch the small money I get for my akant). This guy just pity me and told me politely that he can only give me #500 cos he no dey carry cash around. I thanked him and I continue my journey.

Please guys, I need R/P sefcon wey d rent no pass 150k. At least I go struggle for 4months to gather the money for another year. I need am for Ipaja and it's environs but I don't want Ayobo Sha. The main issue with me is the casual job I'm doing and I'm planning to marry dis year cos I don old small. If you fit help me with job, I go happy and I go appreciate am. At least make I comot the 50k level so I can pay my bills at ease small.

God bless you as you are about to bless me. Amen!!!

Op eko ni baje is not for you. Better come back home or tell your company to employ you as GM so you'd have a roof over your head for free

50k Salary and you wan marry?

Lol...

Some guys just like unneccessary hardship.

Even me earning like x3 wont dread marriage now till things improve a little.

Don't let peer pressure/Family or even GF to push you into that marriage stuff.

Do not bring kids into this world or start a family that would end up cursing your existence. There's no Crime being unmarried.

It's far better to worry about yourself alone than to start worrying for yourself and others

Be sure you're financially stable before you venture into that institution.

You cannot invest what you don't have. Nigerians need to understand this. Most of the people were dey live for Mowe, iyana ipaja, Ibafo, Asese, Akute, Wawa, Magboro dey work for island no get any savings bro.


Most lagosians spend all their earnings on transportation, food and accommodation.

If e sup and you loose your job, you're just some months away from being homeless.


Lagos is not sustainable for salary workers, unless you dey collect salary of 300k upwards.

Na daily income sure pass for Lagos. Atleast 10k for a single person daily.

Even at that, you go think say 300k na big money until you dey pay school fees for 2 kids twice a year and it fizzles out.

Omo, many problems dey abeg...make I go face my own...cheers !

That money can’t get you nice place in Lagos.
Re: Life In Lagos Is Getting Harder. Pls Help... by clericuzzio(m): 6:37am On Jan 10, 2022
Depending on the location, you can get a R/P self contained from between 120-200k.

Just keep searching..

Another scope is that don't pay any agent more than their mobilization fee of 1k to show you all their available houses..And they should show you not less than 5 houses.

If the OP is willing to relocate, he can get a R/P self contained around Odogungan, Ikorodu Axis for that 150k. He can at least find jobs in Ikorodu or be self-employed and things will be better.

that magodo estate on the recent news some pay up to 5m for a room there and it is mainly because of yahoo boys that apartment prices have skyrocketed. My office landlord is already telling me he is adding to my rent this year and I ve told him we will put our legs in one trouser. These are just greed on the part of agents and landlords. You claim building materials have increased but was the home built at the time of the increase?
