Good evening nairalanders, pls i need advise, my counsin sister who is just 22 is demanding to live alone (she wants to move out of her father's house), but her parents disagreed with her decision.

This has brought a whole lot of confusion, because she is very serious with her decision and her parents (especially her mom) is totally against it.

Pls as a sister, what advise can i give to her, should i support her or i should advise her against it? and what are the of dangers living alone as a female?

Modified: My counsin is not a prostitue, I might not entirely know the reason she wants to live alone, but i'm sure her num1 major reason is noise, she is a very calm person who loves being alone, but since they are much in the house she doesn't have such opportuity, pls she's not a hoe, my question is what are the dangers of living alone as a lady?.

Does she have a bf? Does she want a bf? If yes Then she just wants privacy. How much can they really be in the house to make her feel uncomfortable?? She’s just 22 not 25 or 27. Let her chill. At this age they think they know it all.

Nazgul:
Her request to stay alone isn't bad. She's 22, and if she has a good job, she'll enjoy geninue peace of mind cos living alone is very good. You won't have to endure an irritating roommate, always getting on your nerves every now and then, nagging parents who will constantly remind you about the success story of all your mates, and your younger cousins who have all gotten married. Also, you can effectively budget your finances, economize your food and provisions, and manage your bills effectively.

As a girl there are few guidelines I'll give you to stay alone effectively most especially if you're not a runs girl.

1. Limit your friends. They say the average Nigerian loves free things. That's very true. If you stay alone, you must be very careful with who you let into your home. I remember how I parked out of the first house I rented with my money after my youth service. It was a one bedroom apartment, I had this friend who was always visiting. With time he uprgaded himself to my roommate without even my consent.

I didn't have any problem with that. The problem I had with him was that he doesn't contribute a penny to the house. From recharging the prepaid meter to recharging the cable TV, to buying food and provisions...even pure water this my so called friend couldn't get. The worse of it all was that he's a womanizer. Imagine coming back home from work tired only to see meet your bedroom locked by your roomie cos he's busy with a girl. I'll end up dozing off on the couch in the palour while waiting for them cos I can't access the bathroom without entering the bedroom which is locked by him.

We quarrelled over this severally. This guy will apologize, beg me and after some days or weeks repeat the same thing again. With time when the rent remained like 2 months to be due, I parked out and left him there. I've learned to limit the kind of people I allow into my home ever since.

2. Be security conscious. Don't be careless with your security. As a girl, you can easily be overpowered, drugged, raped, robbed... etc. So avoid unnecessary closeness with your neighbours most especially if they're guys whose source of income you have no idea of. Whenever you're at home, keep your doors locked at all times. Avoid inviting people you meet on social media into your home. Avoid accepting lift from strangers to your home. All these things will put your safety at risk.

3. Don't disclose your status. As a girl, telling guys that you stay alone isn't wise. When guys start asking don't keep them in silence or else they'll start guessing and might guess right. Just tell them that you don't stay alone. Cos if you don't they won't mind trailing you secretly just to know where you stay. Believe me some guys can be that jobless. And after one visit to your house, you'll need the police to keep them out. Cos some will go as far as threatening to harm you if you refuse to let them in.

If you're in a serious relationship your guy should be the only one who should know your house along with some of your female friends who are on the same financial status with you, and your family members. Every other person can meet you at your place of work, your church or in a public place.

My advice...tell her to do whatever is in her mind, she's an adult now and must be allowed to make her own choices.

As for her parents, let her explain to them and make them reason with her that she won't remain under their roof forever, so the sooner she begins to plan a life outside their roof, the better for her

Also I hope she's working, when I say working I mean 9am -5pm jobs with a reasonable pay check. Cos if a girl is staying alone without a reasonable source of income, she might be tempted to go into prostitution in order to survive. Tell her this.

This huncle don turn the advice to a new article

I just met a friend like that, a serving corper. Sometimes I'm afraid she may suffer depression and may not be eating well. Most of these may be traceable to the family background and a young lady may just decide to stay alone and avoid the issues arising from the home.

If it is about independence, that may not be an issue because she may have a workable plan, how good the plan is is another question.

Lastly, please show love and not to condemn anybody in such situation.

It is only advisable on two condition, working in a city far from home or married, apart from that this reasons, It is morally wrong for a single lady to stay alone.

shocked



Her parents should try and be understanding; didn't they experience puberty and it's resultant youthful exuberance?

At 22...her ovaries are already rioting.
At 22...her uterus hungers for constant semen
At 22...the blood vessels in her nippIes are gorging with blood desperately needing to be ravished.
At 22...her labia majora yearns to be spread apart.
At 22...she believes the world revolves around her kpekus and she is God's gift to men.

Will they be bappy if she feeds all of these cravings under their roof?

In my honest opinion, any single girl of 22 who has the opportunity to live under her parents but wants to be independent by all means only has one driving reason; they want to be unchained hos.

She still need some years for parental security, what she sees(think) now that made her decided she will move out might not be real and it will be bad for her when she later discovered cus she might have made mistake then.
If she has a room to herself within her parents house ,I will seriously encourage her to stay back for some more time.

Nigerian chewing gum boys boys who hate to see independent women will quickly call her a prostitute. To them all women are prostitutes except tbeir sisters and mothers.

My only reason againat her moving out on her own is that many naija boys like to ra@pe They will track her down, when they see that she lives alone, rape, rob and even murder her and naija men will rejoice at her death claiming she prolly was cheating on her murderer which got him angry. Others will say she prolly was carrying aristo or gee boy who killed her for ritual. They always justify the murder and death of naija women. For that reason she should stay safe whatever her decision.

Haters will quote me and pretend men dont ever commit those crimes I wrote up there. The denial is real.

If she can afford it, she is an adult, sometimes you needs serious calmness and privacy to enable you birth something very vital in destiny. It happens to every serious minded person in life, at a point, you would want absolute privacy so you can think, plan, meditate, read and Most especially Pray whenever you want, and not waiting for everyone to go out which may never happen depending on the family size and apartment size. Plz give her your support but plz tell her to properly maximize the privacy for good.
God bless her

All of them are mad. I have said it times without number , the thought pattern of the average Nigerian male is akin to that of a person suffering from psychomotor retardation.

How does wanting to live alone translate to prostitution? What is the correlation?

The girl in the op should move out and live alone but should NEVER EVER invite any male specimen into her home....Those dolts can't be trusted.

MLTR:



No one said living alone is wrong, bad or a sin, buh there is time for everything @22 i doubt her level of maturity.
PH is filled with insecurity and the standard of living on a norm is high how much more the cost of a well secured environment, why waste money when she can save it for investment, she is certainly not too young to be a CEO.
