Hello nairalanders..
I'm a 27 years old guy who has a business.
I live with my sister in her flat, lately we've been having a lott of issues and I actually thought about moving out.

I'm independent, I pay for the room I stay in her flat, I feed my self and I fetch water for the house cos the building doesn't have a running water.

I'm actually scared of taking this necessary step, what's it like out there??

Guys motivate a brother.

It's okay to move out (you're an adult) but make up with your sister. You two will still need each other. Even if she's the one that'll need you afterwards, don't decline helping when you can. Look out for your sis, bro.

A few things I'm curious about are...

What could be her reason for allowing you pay rent under her roof? Is she your younger sister? It could be a good reason though. But did she ever explain why?

Stay where you are for as long as you can. The Nigerian economy as e dey no be for big decisions for small man abeg! Wait till the next president enter and sit down well well.

In the meantime, work on your relationship with your sister to resolve issues you may be having at this time..

Well it's not as if we fight , the quarrels are born out of she trying to subject me to certain psychological stress and me resisting them which in turn leads to exchange of words sometimes when I can't afford to keep calm.

And for your questions,
She is my eldest sister,

Well she never really explained why I had to pay but I got used to it..

Thank you boss

There's nothing as refreshing as enjoying your peace of mind, don't trade anything for it, not even your family member.

And you should also note that there's nothing wrong with you moving out of your current location to another one provided it would give you the peace of mind you seek.

The reality of this matter is that your sister would miss and respect you more when you're gone....So don't be afraid to take that bold step.
