Things like this predominantly happens almost every angle of one's life not necessarily squatting or having a roommate, within ur friends with which u ain't sharing the same room, not to talk of among your family members............It a normal thing which one shouldn't worry oneself too much about.................

Remember what people says about you doesn't actually give an accurate definition of who and what u are.....

Bros, this is no reason not to squat. People squat because they don't have money or space while some just love it because they want to save money.

You got what you wanted and heard exactly what you wanted to hear. I hope it makes you feel good? Life wasn't designed that way, God knew it that was why he didn't give us a detachable ear, He knew it would do us know good. That knowledge is useless. What you did was unnecessary.

If only you know what every one you know says behind you?

If my roommate that we both shared the same locker and bed wanted me to fail. I nearly missed a test because of his attitude. Instead of him to call me and informed me that the time for the test was shifted. Thank God I came inside the test hall 20 mins to the end of the test. When I challenged him? He told me, "Is because I know the course that is why I stayed in the hostel".

This story is not complete. It sounds as if you overstayed your welcome. Maybe he should have kicked you out instead or gossiping.
Re: Why You Shouldn't Squat In A Hostel by lilyheaven: 10:29am On May 05, 2018
People will always have something bad to talk about another person, no matter how you try to please them.
I never believed men can gossip.

Op, i know how u feel. Wah i face here is even worse. I signed just a session contract with him tho'. My host is the kindest i have ever seen, when i came newly and had so much, i filled the house, i cooked and cleaned like madt. Niggar is the most neatest dude, he would eat and and that plate can stay upto 2 weeks on the same spot. Room is like where dey sell a hip of sand, dirty clothes of his scattered everywhere. I had enough of it, when he went solo as a result of my financial constraint, he wakes up and goes out to buy bread and eat, not even asking me wah we would eat or if i have eaten. It was his neighbour who took me in and started taking care of my stomach infrastructure. I never told my parents, even when they call we act like all is well. So Op, just try to get ur own place.

Don't behave as if you knew what they discuss. Just send the audio clip to him via WhatsApp. He will be too ashamed that he will most probably apologize. Or,you may play the clip when you are with him. Tell him one of the guys he was discussing with actually recoded it and gave it to you. That way, you will cause hatred amongst your enemies. grin

Please if you know you have money and can afford to rent a self con in school please do it, saying because you have a friend that has a house and you want to save cash is not cool, you'll end up shooting yourself on the foot. Rent your own apartment and have respect.

Squatting in its literal context can mean bending one's body. However, an average Nigerian may define squatting as living in a room with someone, illegitimately without paying for it.

Students in Tertiary institutions are well-acquainted with this connotation.

I will narrate what happened to me while I was squatting with a 'friend,' and I hope this story will urge you to face the bull by its horn and pay for an accommodation, no matter how cost it may be.

On April 7th, I came back to my room in the hostel. I met three of my room occupants, discussing alongside my 'friend,' something about me. They immediately switched the topic and started discussing about the examinations which were fast approaching. I noticed this, but I pretended I didn't. I wished I could know what they were discussing but I couldn't.

Suddenly, a bright idea struck my mind. I brought out my little Tecno 'torchlight' device and clicked on the sound recorder. I connected the phone to a charger and covered it with some clothes. Satisfied, i gave myself a mischievous smile and left.

Twenty minutes later, I came into the room and took my phone away. I went to the school's Pre-Degree Block, which has long been known for its extant tranquility. I bought out my earphone and played what i recorded. What i heard from my 'friend' was too repugnant and eerie for me to digest. He said I was bothering his life and that he wants me to get an admission for I took another UTME Examination with the motive of changing my course and institution. He also said that I haven't benefited him in anyway in his life.

The words crashed on my ears with so much weight that i felt like they would pull-off my ears from my body. I began thinking of how I've help him financially, physically and even to evade his emotional traumas, that they were too unlimited to count. I never did anything wrong to him, yet I was a nuisance to his life. What also fueled my disappointment was the ostensible compliment he made about me the previous day; he said he was going to miss me so much that he wish I won't leave the school.

Dear Nairalanders, even if you have friends or relatives who are willing to squat with you, it's better to pay for your own accommodation. A friend today may end up messing up your life tomorrow. Some may even do worse than what happened to me.
Never lose ur Faith in humanity, some will always behave badly that does not imply all are bad. Learn to decipher the good from the bad. We are all social animals so keeping to ourselves never help anyone.

I've been squatted by my bro while I was looking for admission in unizik and then when he graduated I had to look Lodge for myself so at that time of Lodge-searchin I actually had to stay with my close friend..
Long story short, this friend actually used me since he knew that I had money in my account (for accommodation oo!) he set me up with a girl and she druged me and stole my atm card. I still don't know how he knew my code oo. He cleared my account not even 2k remain for me.
This happened last year, I didn't know it was my friend all this while until I caught the Girl after series of intterogation from school security she finally confessed everything. This dude used my money to buy Samsung phone and plasma TV 38". Now he is beggin me. E don be for am, cos I go collect all my money plus damages.

Anybody that had the chance to gain admission into Oau ife will know squatting over there is like dividing half your life into two

You can never be 100% comfortable unless you deceiving yourself.
it will speak well either on your health / results and others.
I can relate.....
I stayed in Faj Hall blk4.


My part 2 days was hell.

Which affected my results then because I just had to do things at the guy's conveniency time.

You can't even spend on yourself without the person squatting you raising eyebrows "

Try buy new trouser or anything.

"Face go be like u get money to buy,u nofit pay for a room.
you own me everything face "

By part 3.
I just had to leave campus by force to get a private room.

this is just 92% of my experience. We are four; one Msc student. But the major one who put us together is just like your roommate. In addition, dude sleeps than anything I know

You get mind, after every thing , u still communicating with him.
He will soon call you for one oil business, you will gladly go, because you see him as a friend.
Please run away from him , he is not your friend.

Re: Why You Shouldn't Squat In A Hostel by Nobody: 2:12pm On May 05, 2018
it's both ways. I harboured some young ladies who wanted a quiet place to study away from the rowdy hostel environment. I made it clear that I'm not one to go out of my way for another. that I hardly cook but that I had gas and raw food if they wanted to eat. After everything, they said I was starving them. imagine? they expected me to cook for them. after all the inconvenience. any form of symbiosis apart from parasitism is cool

Re: Why You Shouldn't Squat In A Hostel by poseidon12: 7:31pm On May 05, 2018
Without being told, you should know that it would not be convenient to share a space normally meant for one person. I don't see anything wrong in how your friend felt. I understand his not being able to tell you directly.
Re: Why You Shouldn't Squat In A Hostel by elRamani(m): 8:04pm On May 05, 2018
Curiosity killed d cat

they respected u enough not to tell it to ur face, just bcuz they didn't want to hurt u, but ur stronghead and guilty conscience no go gree u let sleeping dogs lie

Op u have trust issues and that has caused u ur happiness, if all of us were able to read each other's minds, d'you know how bleeped up the world would be?

i'm also squatting presently, not bcuz i want to, but i wasn't able to secure a school hostel and didn't wanttu stay off-k considering d fact that i'm a fresh student and language problems


i don't even expect d person accomodating me to say such about me cuz we benefit from each other and if he does no problem, so far he doesn't say it to my face, its his problem, let God b d judge
