Hello, a fresh graduate just relocated to Lagos in search for job and doesn't have a place of his own for now but squatting with some friends. It seems he's not that comfortable.

He saved some money from his previous job in Enugu before relocating to Lagos in search of a better job.

Presently, he's thinking of enrolling in a cyber security training and ethical hacking tracking with his savings.

Should he get an apartment first before he gets a job or he waits until he gets a job before he rents an apartment? For now, he's squatting with some people and not really comfortable.

What do you suggest please?
Get a job first. “Apartment” is not running away.

What happens when the location of the job is at another extreme end to the house he gets and he has to stay for a year
UyaiIncomparabl:
Get an accommodation.

When he gets the job, where will he stay? Since you said he's not that comfortable where he stays presently, getting a place to stay should be of utmost priority. As long as it's not borrowed funds where he will have to be on his feet to pay back, no problem.

Hope he gets the job as well.

Let him get an accommodation at the center of Lagos. Surulere/Fadeyi most preferably. By getting a place in the aforementioned, it doesn't matter where his job is, he will pull through. Even the job is on the Island. You guys don't know what it means to be homeless or stay somewhere uncomfortable. It's why I said that as long as it's not borrowed funds, or his last card, he will pull through.

That being said, he will get a job.
Seriously they don't know. Went through that few years ago when i got admission newly had to leave my guy lodge then and went to the village until i..was able to raise some money and pay for my own lodge.
You can never function well mentally, physically or academically while squating with someone.
Going to your personal place no matter how small and empty or local it's, so far you know no one would scold you or intentionally go out with the key keeping you waiting under the sun for hours.
Mehn op please try to sort your accommodation issue first, so you don't get hooked up in bad vices and addiction that would wreck you financially and mentally. Leave there asap for your mental health.

It is better to go back to Enugu. If this simple thing and you reaching out for advice.... you are not ready for Lagos .... Lagos will devour you.

Get a job first!!…your job now determines the location u can get a house, if u get a house on the island now and end up getting a job on the mainland, how will you port the everyday traffic? That’s going to be suffer pro max!..
Not true!

He can stay on the mainland and still work on the island. Mind you, getting a house on the island isn't a child's play.

Nah so you na dey always relocate to Lagos leaving your various states and villages for greener pasture in Lagos.. i pray you find a good job.. and i hope you won't later join your igbo brothers online to attack and abuse Tinubu. If you can't find a better job in Enugu and you believe so much in Lagos it means to me our Lagos is better than Enugu and other eathern states. so I pray that u find a good job and get money to buy car and marry... but don't join others to to abuse Tinubu...

I wish you well

Oh well. It's only those who have been through and back that can tell the story. If I were him, I'll get an accommodation. Doesn't have to be pricey or lavish. Just a room would do. Over here on the mainland, 250k total package can settle that.

I know what it's like to persevere and stay with people. Been there, done that. Let him get a house first.

It depends, if he can manage his present accommodation till he is done with his expected training, let him endure

But if his presence are not really welcomed by those hosting him, then he should get accommodation and be discipline with himself by managing the little left and not going about chasing

He needs to be in his right frame of mind to under go any course

My candid advice is that he should get his accommodation quickly, else he would squander that money with his friends and should the job not show forth earlier as expected he would find life tougher, friends wax stronger in the city when non is a burden to the other....don't let experience teach you please

In my book after a month, you become a nuisance if you are not assisting with rent or foodstuffs.
So not really comfortable is a vague description. You are NOT supposed to be comfortable till you get your own place. So If I were in your shoes, I would contribute to the foodstuff while I seek out the cheapest accommodation I can find. It is only with a clear head that you apply for a job , perform at your best and exhume confidence that your employers may want.

Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by kelvingab(m): 2:19pm On Jun 06, 2022
You need to be a bit comfortable before you can think straight. Get a small apartment first and plan what next

Accommodation first, before anything, but he should take somethings into consideration
Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by chloride6: 2:22pm On Jun 06, 2022
See question.

You keep work down for Lagos?

Just joking, find a house if you have cash that can sustain you for like 3 years.
Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by cooooooks(m): 2:30pm On Jun 06, 2022
You joke, but these questions have been asked before.

Patriotic9ja:
Nairaland and funny posts. Is it that our youths have become so lazy upstairs that they can't decide basic things for themselves? So after this stage, you will come online to ask which church or mosque to attend in Lagos, if to buy a car 1st before a plot of land, if to marry 1st before dating, abi if to impregnate 1st before paying bride price and so on......

THIS IS LAGOS. Get an affordable apartment. A selfcon will do. At least, one that won't cost more than 150k per annum (For a start).

Going by my advice will save you from a lot of discomfort. Even if you won't mind face-me-i-face-you, please just jejey go for it. It's just for the main time.

You no come Lagos to impress anybody.

Lastly, do not fall in love with any Lagos babe, until you are sure.

2kobo advice.

This is no subject of debate bro.better manage where you are for the meantime and look for a job there after you can start searching and get an accommodation of your choice
Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by UrPapa: 3:23pm On Jun 06, 2022
That’s how they will spew hate about this same Lagos, call it slum, call it overrated, calling it all sort of bad names, post bad pictures of it just to make it look bad, yet they will still fight to get there to chase their dreams
Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by flatscreen(f): 3:32pm On Jun 06, 2022
Try to get a job first no matter how small and that will determine where u will get accomodation due to traffic and transport fare
Re: Get A Job Or An Accommodation First? Which? by adecz: 3:38pm On Jun 06, 2022
What a question❗️❗️❗️


One day, someone will come to
Nairaland to ask us which is best time
to take a shiit,

morning or night❓❓

An jobless nairalanders will be
struggling to give their advice and
experience ...❌❌❌❌


To worsen the matter, it will appear

Enugu to Lagos again

Why not relocate to Abia or Imohuh

Tomorrow now you will join your kinsmen to blame Sanwo-Olu for all your problems while sparing your SE governors.
You also see what i'm seeing. That is how they move to Lagos in droves everyday abandoning their South East, later when they grow small wing, they will open their mouth waaaaaa and say they develop Lagos.
