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.

You nailed it.

Your niece lives with her parent buh she does not like noise, ... is it not better for us to think she is a LovePeddler than for us to know your niece parent are noisemakers.

i believe a 22yr old gurl is stil very much inexperience about life and probably lacks adequate maturity to handle independence, life outside school life is a whole new ball game hence why she should still be under her parent there are things she needs to learn. if no because of man why the rush grin abeggi

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.

I agree, there is no justification whatsoever for a lady at such an age to want to leave alone except may be if she is done with school and is working

There's nothing basically wrong with a young woman of 22 staying alone, though there are often negative consequences for doing so. A young lady related to me her experience of what she'd passed through while staying alone in a rented apartment. She lost her job a few months after packing in, and as a result was constantly having to endure pangs of hunger and could not renew the rent. The landlord took advantage of her situation and started to demand sex as condition to allowing her to stay. Things got so worse that she started sleeping with different kinds of men just to find money and make ends meet. She even ignored to ask for help from her relatives back home because they had opposed her decision to stay alone. So she was ashamed to let them know what she was passing through.
Then the unexpected started to happen: she got raped by the landlord's son but she was ashamed to report the incident, simply because she also was sleeping with the landlord. The boy who raped her had threatened to expose her affair with his father in the event that she reported about the incident; also, she feared being confronted by the landlady, who, according to the girl, had shown so much kindness to her. Then she got raped a second time, but this time by a group of suspected cultists, while returning from church one night. According to this girl, she had such a terrible experience staying alone as a single girl, and she swore never to advise even her worst enemy to try the same thing.

They should let her go, else they will wake up one morning to see that she's left. She may even go out and not return again without packing anything. I believe there's someone somewhere influencing her decision. Or she has friends that are doing it.
I understand that she needs freedom, she wants to do what are friends are doing that she can't do at home.
She should have her way, she will return, I promise you. I hope when she realizes, it won't be late by then

Why does she want to live alone.

Is her work place far from the parents house?

Was she transferred to another state or somewhere far from the house.

Or she just wants to move out, its cheaper for her to stay with her parents so I don't understand the moving out except there is a reason .

Any adult should be able to live alone as long as they can afford to do so.

Living alone is no child's play. It's expensive and can be boring.

One last thing, most people who live alone usually become more sexually active. Which is a good thing, fvcking about under your parent’s roof can be stressful and frustrating. As an adult this freedom is priceless. I wish your cousin good luck.

There is nothing wrong with living alone as a girl or boy, like I have always said Nigerians are myopic idiots, the average human all over the world is a stupid idiot who most times Can't think outside the box, but I think it is worse in Nigeria. Your sister can do whatever she wants, she officially became an adult at 18, apart from the stupid societal stigma of being viewed as a LovePeddler, she has got no problem, living alone can cause her marriage and a questionable reputation, marriage is not a must anyway. She should be security conscious and don't keep late nights.

If you are really close to her you'll have to ask her the reason to say her reason of wanting to stay separate from her immediate family. It is not everything one ought to assume or speculate.

It is good to own a place of your own at 22 years. But as a girl/ lady/woman what are the benefits?

You made mention of her working in the bank and residing in PHC. Now in this same PHC I know people of her own sex who lived in their family house and used their salary to procure land(s) and build house(s) for rental purposes. They were able to start up a side business. They did not live like ohhh I'm a grown up so I can live my life as I can.

One of my sisters at 22 with a good salary was encouraged to continue her studies that is relevant to her career choice to enable her grow the ranks appropriately in her department.

Bank work is not a security to financial autonomy. There should always be a Plan B and also put your trust on God.

It is good for parents to be concerned though sometimes it becomes worrisome. But a true mother will express her emotions.

My dear,

A 22yr old is supposed to live alone if her parents died in an accident. That is not how it is meant to be. She is a calm person that is why she wants to leave alone. Tell that to younger generations to come. Any time a lady is demanding for independence, she has some skeleton in her cupboard. Why are you campaigning for her? What is your own business in the whole matter?.
If you are the one, why not come out openly to seek for advice. Let me now tell you the grave consequences.

1. Too much frolicking would set it.
2. Prospective males friends would have a lee way to come visiting
3. Attack from devil in form of temptation would be in for her
4. No serious suitor would approach for her hand in marriage if she is seen staying alone
5. The Landlord that would agree to give her accommodation would think she is a prostitute
6. Some of her friends would approach her to squat with her thereby entertaining more noise
7. Undue expenditure which she would ordinarily be used to help her noise making siblings at home

Conclusively, if she wants to stay alone, she should either rent a new place for her parents and some of her siblings or get a place and take some of her siblings if she must move. Tell her to be patient, there will come a time when she has loneliness to contend with in life.
