what's this don't allow men know where you stay bullshit?
Are all men bad
Las Las no be man you go marry

Michelle55:
There's absolutely nothing wrong in staying alone.. Just be mindful of the kinda company you keep and exercise self-control at all times.
You can't please everyone dear, just live your best life and be true to yourself!
No one has the monopoly to your happiness.. If staying alone gives you the peace of mind you deserve as human, then go for it.

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

Not a bad idea but sometimes u could be lonely...Getting a roommate won't be a bad idea though

AmIaYahooGirl:


Trend where? Nairaland? I don't even understand this foolish comment..

Nmezor:
Hmmm, good for you then. A dog would always be one.. but a human being ...

HoliMaree:
If I advice you to buy a guard Dog you will say you can't feed it. Nonetheless that is my advice

slowice:
There's absolutely nothing wrong with staying alone at 23 unless from security point of view... Knowing what world we live in one has to be careful.... Especially young females
