Na so

I just left a 2 bedroom in a cool area for another part of town

Stop giving false reportage. There's no place in Lagos without semi affordable areas. It requires lots of walking before you get them


. As for rentals there's no time I don't assist one person at one time or the other to get apartments even from the forum. So what are we saying.


650 ko 750 ni


Standard room self con is 250k mainland 300k island. You can take this information to your bank.

I thought you said mainland 150k?..

You earn 400,000 Naira a month and can't get affordable housing. Na. That's not right.

You will get cheap apartments in :


Igbo Efon

Ikate

Jakande

Abraham Adesanya

Badore

Iyanaworo

To mention a few

He will get single room self in Lawanson, Ojuelegba, Ogba, Ojota, Ketu, Ogba, Ijesha, Aguda for 150/180k/200k per annum. Fact



I stay in a decent tooth 2 bedroom flat. If Nairalanders know such places exist this part of my area will be flooded

I have 24 hours water

All tiled apartment.

. Motor able roads. Everything I need. So I know what I mean when I talk about housing.

First of all government jobs are secured...especially federal government job and your promotion is sure ...the salary comes at the appropriate time ...but that doesn't mean you should be comfortable.....because government jobs dey lead to poverty if you are comfortable with it...get more certification and develop yourself
So if you want to go for self contain ..then I support
And always try to differentiate your needs from your want...and don't think because you got a nice apartment....then ngozi or Sandra can pack her things and join you without her doing anything to bring money...if you try that shit...I bet you Ngonzi will get pregnant and una go begin born children....na so una poverty go start....the poverty go tie wrapper and gele

Face me I slap you kind of Apartment is not what you should settle for....


Ogbeni..I still dey try small small...nor be say I brilliant like that.....I dey dull finish sometimes

Who are you?

Depends on location. It will in some areas like Agege, Ojo, that's if you don't have someone like "The Future is Female" crooner as fience. Else, you'll be using more than half of your salary to buy her cream every month

hello nairalanders.

I am thinking of getting a decent self contain partment in lagos that is close to my work place. I am currently employed with a salary scale of about a 100k, and for now I have no alternative source of income except my current job which is a govt job. I am just scared I might not be able to sustain the rent cus I only have my salary to depend on for now, and I will still have some other commitments like family etc.

I was thinking of getting a decent one room, like a face me I slap u, till am able to gather my home furnitures, and also try to develop myself in terms of certifications, or learning some IT skills, then I can move to a decent self contain. The only fear is the last time I lived that life was my University days.

Can a salary of 100k sustain an apartment here in Lagos?

Your comments are highly welcome

One room like face me and face you where they share bathroom, toilet and kitchen?

Why not just make do with a bed sitter where you have your own bathroom, kitchen and toilet inside your room?

That's better for you if you are single. A self contain is never a face me and face you. What we call self contain is actually a one room apartment not a face me and face you where you will share toilet and bathroom with other tenants.

Go for a bed sitter till you can afford a one bedroom room apartment.

Yes it can

You will be fine. You can get such apartments in many parts of Lagos and 100k monthly will sustain it nice nice. It will even sustain a room self contain apartment. The annual rent for that always ranges between 150 and 220k depending in area, agency fees inclusive. After first year, the annual rent is around 120/150k. Your monthly salary can cover this and you'll be enjoying a good life at it.

Did you even bother to ask where his working place is and where he is looking at to secure the room.

Many Nigerians are willing to travel out of the country but most people do not have the mean to do so. Moreover everyone cant travel out of the Nigeria.

I know how difficult it is and I pray for God to help those who are willing, trying and fighting for greatness. If you have something to sell, Sell it and you won't regret it in the future.

We need more of your type to debunked all the false rumours of how bad it is living abroad.

We don't always see you guys when we need you in such threads. There had been threads where some failed immigrants who were not able to make it over will always adviced those aspiring never to relocate abroad.

Only few persons come out to debunk them.

Those are the type of threads we need you.

Some will tell you, don't try relocate, that they are suffering over there.

When I see such threads, I see such persons as failed people.
