Life is too short to care about what people think about you. I am 45 yrs old not married and dont intend to marry. I feel happy and fulfilled living my own life. I dont care about what people think about me. I enjoy this life to the fullest.

Hello Nls,
I'm not really someone who listens to what people say but I just want to share this so that y'all can air your views.

I'm a young girl, 23 and an orphan, dropped out of school and came to Lagos to make ends meet. When I first came to Lagos, I stayed with a married female cousin of mine, along the line, the husband started making advances to me which I politely declined. He got angry and told his wife to throw me out of the house, and yes she did.

I was thrown out of the house without anywhere to go and as someone who has survived losing both parents at such a young age, I literally lived and survived in the streets. Did all sorts of menial jobs, hawked purewater, soft drinks, worked in a bar and all that before I finally got an apartment.

The story isn't quite necessary but when I get talking with people and I tell them that I stay alone, next thing I'll hear is "you're too young to stay alone... it's not a good idea...blah blah blah. Some older woman even told me to go back to my cousin's house and beg them so I can continue staying with them, another told me that it's better I stay with my boyfriend than staying alone.

I really don't understand all these talks, like despite all I've been through, isn't staying alone the best option? Or is there something wrong with staying alone as a single young lady?

Your humble opinion is needed, thanks
It’s not bad to stay alone but a lot of landlords are scared when single ladies stay alone for reasons ranging from them not sure of who to inform if anything bad happens to you , bringing in a lot of men to visit you etc. just try and probably bond with a church , so we’ll meaning elders from church could stand as a parent figure to you Incase of anything.

As a male I left my parents house at 18 and have been staying alone since then
just live a good life , hustle your hustle ,dont give a Bleep about peoples opinion , you have been fending for yourself like for ever
keep only important friends that wilk move your life forward , dont give out personal information about yourself and family
if you must talk , tell them you live with your aunty and she travels up n down for business
my dear am proud of you
finally the bitter truth is NOBODY SEND YOU , SO NOR SEND THEM TOO

You took a good decision to not give in to your cousins husband predactory instinct and advancement, your living alone therefore may not be of your own making. However if you can get a trusted friend to share the apartment with please don't hesistate to do so and share the burden of rent. Keep up with legitimate hustle but that beer parlour work will get you into more depravity than you try to evade earlier. Instead of dilly dallying why not deny yourself for a while and get trained in a good skill you can leverage on eventaully, and when things get better try and enrole in a part time study. Last and most importantly, make Jesus the cornerstone of your life by maintaining a long distance from sin, your testimony will be worth mentioning if you don't abuse your present liberty, that way you can be sure you will end well. SHALOM!

OP the decision of opting to stay alone I must say is a "MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ". and hopefully I want to believe you've known your way around Lag by now, if you haven't try to. No doubt you could be suffering from DEPRESSION sometimes as a result of what you've passed through in the past(been an orphan,been neglected by your cousin among other things) but rather be strong by been commited/ hardworking towards things you do.
Finally should you have means of enrolling in sch leta on don't neglect it, Peeps like you end up successful in the future!!

It's so simple and short, stop telling or talking about your life to inconsequential pple. learn to be self discipline by keeping your life story to urself. with dat you have solved 98% of your problem.. Don't bring any male friend home and be so...careful wen you choose your female friends and don't allow any older person stay with u.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I might be worried about your vulnerability to criminals. Nigeria is not a very secure country.

My advice: stay alone and get one or two well-trained dogs (if you can afford) or regular dogs (train it/them) that you can reasonably control, get self-defense items, and/or ensure you live in a secure area..

Lastly but most importantly, believe and trust in God (Jesus).
