Are there no single rooms you can get in Ajah that's very cheap till you complete what you wanna do? Must it be flat? Saviourplease:
Good evening house.
I am in a dilemma and I need advice on what to do.
A bit of background about myself: I am a 29 years only child from a very poor background. I work for an IT firm which i joined in 2019 as a graduate trainee.
My total income is around 490k (400k from main job, 90k from a writing side gig).
My challenge:
Recently, My host have told me to look for my accommodation and I have been searching for houses. Unfortunately, the places closer to my places of work is expensive.
I work in VI and the cheapest mini flat I have seen in close vicinity is 1.2M at Ajah.
I also have have a building project I am undertaking in the village that is at roofing stage and my parents have been pressuring me to settle down as the only child.
My dilemma is this, If i go for the house at Ajah, it will eat a bulk of my savings, thereby making it impossible for me to complete the building project or even start the process of settling down.
If I go for a cheaper but farer location, I will be spending more time in traffic.
Please, how do I manage this?

Buy a lady bike and rent a cheap apartment, don't complicate simple stuff  , and as for a wife don't try anything marriage till you have at least 3 stable sources of income because a 400k job won't be forever Nigeria's economy glitch can happen to any company at any time. And lastly, 1 Avoid broke ladies they will come for you in drove because they are only for your money. 2 Avoid evening newspaper that comes in the form of a church babe, don't allow the pressure from your parents to push you into marriage with a hoe  3 Stay away from Lekki girls they will drain your future and leave you with nothing Above allow God to direct to you not your 3rd leg or marriage pressure 4 Likes |

You're squatting and yet building a house in your village. What does that tell you about yourself?
What's even the point of building in a village? You plan to rent it out or what? Why not build in an area/city where you can get payments in the form of rent and then use that fund to maintain your accommodation in Lagos?
490k is a lot of money. Do yourself a lot of good and rent an apartment in Ajah since its closer to work and you won't need to deal with the 3rd mainland traffic. 6 Likes |

/ You live and work in Lagos. The first thing that occured to you is to build a house in the village where you don't live. If your parents are near homeless, you should have built a small affordable 2-bedroom bungalow for them. I think you got your priorities wrong. It seems your plan is that your employer would let you live rent free in Lagos forever and that formed the center point of your financial decisions. If you keep entangling your financial decisions with your parent's emotional blackmail, you will probably end up in the village driving Keke. By the way, your job can go anytime as well and it may take awhile to get another one. I hope you have backup funds in case of the unknown. / 9 Likes |

You host has really tried. They actually want you to take responsibility of your living expenses. This will put you in the pathway to becoming a family man. Get a house in surulere because it's less expensive and close to the VI. You should save and complete your house. Let nobody rush you into marriage. Else, you will rush out 2 Likes |

I will be very tough on you. Make of my post what you will.
29-Year old man without a rented apartment but building a house in the village. You don't even have shame. Parasitism has limited your ability to think. Almost 30 and you are squatting about like a vagabond.
Money you're supposed to use to take certifications, trainings, be more productive and better your life, you are using to pile concrete blocks in the village. Imagine if Coscharis used his initial profits to build houses in the village.
Google what they call "dead capital'.
A lot of people would have gone far in life but they have planted their seed on wrong grounds. That is what you are senselessly doing. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

Please face the hustle and forget family stuff, your house is there waiting for you anytime, any day and the life they wanted will come along but work can be taken if you fail to apply necessary support, your work gave birth to your uncompleted house therefore if you face your work as usual you will definitely build another one, hope you find it useful dear friend, carry me along in your journey to success,

You're staying with someone and you have a building project that's up to roofing level. Omo you people dey try oo.
What happened to using some of those money to get your own space?
Well, since you're in this situation, the best thing is to get a place that's close to your office. It'll cut your savings, but your space is your space. And you'll have freedom to explore other ways of increasing your income plus the fact that you're looking to settling down. You need your space man. Go for it.
After securing accomodation, you can start bothering about continuing your building project. 2 Likes |

Did you really type farer? Is that a typo? Well in any case it's obvious you should go for the cheaper but farther location. Then try to increase your income - for a tech person who can write there are so many much better opportunities out there than a 90k side gig. 1 Like |

The house in the village is NOT your priority. It should not even come in at the moment!

Accommodation is the first priority. Sebi na somewhere you go put the wife when you marry!
