Invite me for your "house warming"?

Will keep that in view. But be warned that the house will only have a mattress for now till I earn more to put necessary things. If you don't mind

Renaj

This here is what I'm currently going through & I keep regretting I made this decision based on these type of advises. You cannot compare the peace of mind & time you save by living close to where you work, Your health is at risk.

Lagos is the Worst place to live in Nigeria.

Imagine, I loose approximately 3 hours every day because I stay far from work + Stress of transport in Lagos. Excluding area boys Jacking your car.

3 Hours * ( 30 days in a month * 12 Months) = 1080 Hours in a year.

In a long run, you would discover that you have spent more money transporting yourself to that destination.

Also, you can use that time to venture into other areas as a Lady like Fashion Designing & Tailoring, Cooking, Self development Etc.

Please be wise. Don't be like me.

I am very much aware. That is why I want proximity to my work place

Acidosis:


I think you can consider Oyingbo (very close), Yaba, Oworonshoki given the good proximity to work. Although, a friend told me rents aren't at all cheap in Yaba.

Other places are Jibowu, Onipan, Palmgroove.

Agent and agreement sometimes take N60-N80k so you need to work with an improved budget. Otherwise you might want to also extend your reach to places like Ketu, which I think is better than spending so much on accommodation for a "new" job.

Bare in mind that sometimes people who live faraway from work actually pay less than some people living 'around' their workplace. The distance covered may be short but it doesn't always translate to lower transport cost.

Just open your mind to different options and always put your comfort and security first.

Thanks Acidosis

THERE'S ONE YOU COULD BE INTERESTED IN..150K TO SHARE A 2 BED APPARTMENT AND N100 FROM AKPOGBON

How do I contact you?

Wetin person no go read for Nairaland

Laughing at my predicament abi

Please nairalanders, I got a job around Akpongbon, Leventis Bus stop before CMS. I need to rent a self-con or share a 2 bedroom apartment. My budget is 200k including agent and agreement. I have spent a lot of money on agents who end up not finding anything for me. Please suggest possible areas that is close to my work location and also any vacant apartment you may be privy to that matches my budget.
Thank you.

Acidosis:


I think you should hold on, keep enduring, you're still too young to take any desperate step. Getting a place with your savings right now is not feasible especially on Lagos Island.

Hi. I need to rent asap. My budget is 200k including agent and agreement. I got a job around Akpongbon, Leventis Bus stop area. Please suggest possible areas close to my work location.

I use to work in a company where salary delay is a norm. It can even go as far as 2 months straight. We were told to be happy that it is only delayed and not that it is not being paid. So you work for about 2 months and you get 1 months pay. Now there are no benefits apart from your basic pay, no pension, no HMO, no accident free bonus for drivers, nothing at all. Of course, tax is deducted from your salary. Also, constant change of employees as the resignation and termination rate are high. That is why their vacancy adverts always floods the internet.
After employees resignation, even after due notice, getting outstanding pay is a nightmare. It can even stretch as far as 4 months and more often than not, it is never paid.
I resigned because l couldn't cope. I rely on that basic salary to meet up and it was becoming very difficult if not impossible to survive.
However after my resignation, l still have outstanding pay. I know the norm. I can only hope for the best.
Knowing the status quo in this company, is it wise to reveal the situation to potential job seekers or ignore and hope change begins with them.

Acidosis:
How much have you saved? What's your qualification? Where do you stay? How old are you?

My savings hasn't reached six figures yet. I have an MSc. I stay on Lagos Island. 25

Giddyperson:
The above poster has already given you good advice. Don't rent a place yet. Leave the house as much as possible. If you're a religious person, find a church and join the choir or become committed so that when you are not out job hunting, you are in the church. It musn't be church sha, just get something that would keep you out of the house as much as possible. Consider that place a place to lay your head at night.

Also avoid exchanging words with her especially where it gets to the points of insults. Just firmly refute the negative things she says to you. For instance everytime she calls you a witch or a snake, tell her that you refuse to be a witch or a snake but don't let it degenerate to insults like 'You don't have common sense' else one day you guys would come to physical blows. Ignore her when she's just being petty, it's just a matter of time

Yes I try avoiding her but sometimes, you just have to stand your ground. When the brother asked me to use the balance (#300) from the gas l purchased to buy tissue and dettol, I did. But she never said anything only for her to come 3 weeks later, to tell me to go and get tissue for her to use as the available one has finished. Since am now the woman her brother wants to marry, I should be providing everything. I tried explaining to her but she was adamant and started saying l lack common sense,etc that am supposed to give her the money cause she handles that. I said am sorry that next time l would give her the money. Mind you, she never said such when l purchased gas with my own money. She will just pretend like nothing is amiss. Her incessant rant got on my nerves and l told her that she too lacks common sense and that she is hiding under the cloak of Christianity to be perpetuating evil....That really got to her and she has been mad since..just trying to avoid her but she is unavoidable.

I am doing a little marketing thing that takes me out sometimes and l try visiting friends to stay out sometimes too.

Richy4:


Good it is a matter of time, you will find what u are looking for.. Pls do not forget this BROTHER... because he has done alot for u..it is not easy to accommodate someone even if it's a blood relative.. Always speak good about him even when it doesn't look like it because what i have read so far, he got a good heart..Always believe in yourself...goodluck

Yes, he is a good man. The sister has started saying nasty things like 'l should better mind what am doing with the brother', 'Do you think he will marry you' and stuffs like that. But l just ignore as usual.

Richy4:
I am only concern with the fact that u were sleeping on the floor..You might catch cold before u even land on the said job...

I don't know how much a little Vitafoam cost...U know the type they use in boarding school...tell the guy paying the rent that u want to buy a little foam...That the floor u were sleeping on is telling on you..tell him not to worry that u can afford it..(if u did not tell him, it will look as if u were moving in permanently)

Pls let your second name be endurance for now..I know it can be tasking but just swallow your pride since beggars cannot be choosers

I have gotten a small foam. The brother helped.

So l came to Lagos to search for work and through referral, l started staying with 2 siblings, male and female in a 2 bedroom apartment who are both in their late 30s and 20s l think, respectively.
Its obvious the lady doesn't like me from day 1 but she has no choice as the brother pays the rent. Now she said she is aiming to become a pastor, said l am possessed and needs to come with her to the mountain for deliverance. Don't know which mountain though, just heard of Kilimanjaro in Africa but will like to go for sightseeing only. She commands me to join in house fellowship which she organises every Sunday or get out! Her words not mine. But being me, l stood my ground and refused to join because l wasn't impressed with her Christianity and lifestyle.
I have had and still have challenges living with her ranging from her chasing me out of her bed accusing my body of touching her and affecting her spiritual life and my innocent legs of turning to snake at night and me now sleeping on the cold hard cemented bare floor in the parlour with only my wrapper acting as a barrier. By the way, is much better. She eats and dumps plates which l wash and in return, when l got mad with some silly accusations she made and mentioned her indifference to helping her wash up, she said l am being stupid for washing up and that God directs her when to wash up or not. Mind you, she leaves them up to a week sometimes. She has said many vile things to me. On one occasion, I told the brother of the status quo with the sister and he said l should ignore her because that is her way. Her brother gave me money to buy gas and buy dettol and tissue with the remaining money ie #300. I did and she abused me that l lack common sense and should have informed her as she is the person that handles that. I was tired of the incessant insult and tired of keeping mum and told her she lacks common sense too because she never complained when l purchased some things from my pocket.
My problem is that she is driving me crazy. Although l haven't gotten a job, l can afford to rent something small without buying anything. Have already developed a backbone from sleeping on the floor. My hesitation stems from the location of possible job in the future and cutting down transport expenses by getting accommodation around and the fear of wasting the little l have in accommodation without getting a job. Please what do you advice, fam?

.

My story continues....
Now l have gotten to know the new guy better while l have gotten a control over my feelings for my older guy. The new guy drinks too much, is arrogant and proud. l don't like him at all. But l always remember the older guy.

All i can say is BRB

Still waiting....

Politicos:
Issues raised:
1. Mismatch in education.

2. Separated by distance.

3. Communication lag.

4. Emotional disconnection.

5. He procrastinates.

6. Finally, a fresh hero has arrived.

Solution.

1. Don't marry someone if who they presently are is hard for you to settle for. If his educational level doesn't fairly satisfy your grand wish, don't go in. But an unambitious educated person can settle for someone who isn't as educated as they are, and they live together happily ever after. Are you high taste?

2. Distance is no big deal. Constant communication and occasional visits sufficiently close up any potential gap, unless of course both of you are each too selfish and self-centred to commit time and resources.

3. You both must share the blame here. A little slack in communication could easily open a wide dangerous gap overnight. You get? The gap created made room for your new hero to step in. You get it now?

Let me stop here. Quote me when you are ready to hear the rest.

l am not 'high taste '. l just need someone who can take care of his responsibilities as a man and not blaming his lack of achievements on not 'going to school '. As l said earlier, l was worried about that but l didn't want to judge him by that alone. l was fortunate but some never had the opportunity. Then limiting oneself and not aiming higher is a no no. At least, there. should be a balance for respect to thrive.

We have been managing the distance issue, then all of a sudden, when l was depressed, an issue which he was aware of, he suddenly became distant, accusing that my mind is already off from him and Just stayed without communication for a week.

He procrastinate a lot!

JumpingChicken:
The fact that ur current boyfriend is making plans for you and him doesn't mean you two will end up together. And your other man friend might have found another lady with similar age with himself and maybe already settling down with her. So tell your man friend you are breaking up with him and see how hard he tries to keep you. If he doesn't try hard enough to your satisfaction or says its okay for you two to break up then go ahead and date your course mate. But be aware that he may also end up dumping you or you two can end up getting married but whatever the outcome never regret ur action. But just make sure you break up with your man friend before moving on. If thtas what you want.

That was insightful! Thanks

holusormi:
Heheheheh, the things I read on nairaland ... Smh
So you have a younger bf , who is also studying for his masters and obviously likes u enough to marry you (very caring too) .... Vs an older, ambitionless , omo rapala, good man driver who hasn't called your lonely self in a week ...and you are asking us who to choose , okwa ..... Heheheheh, oh my days!!!! .... I really want to call u stu.pid... But who am i to judge Smh,,, see pick your load and go live with the driver ... Obviously education is not wisdom!!!

Thanks! Matters of the heart is a serious issue. lt defies reason. l guess most people have passed through that stage in life. l maybe naive but am not stupid.

andromida:
Alright Renaj if you say he is a good man you were the one with him..... Its just a good man is consistent in his goodness and its along the way you know the depth of a person's goodness. Good man won't flake on you in your hour of need if he can't be present for you he has a solid reason. I think its a waste of time and energy analyzing his actions to know why he did what or what happened along the way. People do what they want to do as you should do what is good for you.

I wish you everything good. A healthy and happy relationship and life.

Thanks dear

Estharfabian:
He hasn't been in touch for weeks? Who does that?

Anyways... Your "boyfriend" Has Lots of Faults... He's Unambitious, He's insecure, He's not Caring, And he's nt Even educated (Ain't saying it's A priority) Buh girl...this is The 21st Century...Education matters A Lot! Can't Imagine settling down with someone who isn't Educated...)


Anyways...it All goes down to Yah...
IT Seems you Have feelings for this Guy...Buh seriously, I'd pick the One with Ambition, The one that cares bout me And the one that's Educated over him Anytime..Which Your "Coursemate" happens to have..

He hasn't been in touch for a week, not weeks. l appreciate!

[quote author=andromida post=40072399]

I don't know how an all talk and no action man who abandoned you in your time of great need is a good man to you. Yes he knows your mind should be off him because he is not right for you and should be an ex.

There are so many roads to take. You can be single for a while to get clear picture of what you want in a relationship, you can date the course mate get to know him there is no rush to be in a relationship or get married immediately this way you don't end up in regrets.
[/quote

Thank you! Am not trying to be defensive but he is a good man. l have my reasons. l don't know what happened along the way.

donTbone:

Then I give you #thumbUp

Still looking for an accommodating genotype too thou! That shii broke us apart last month!

So sorry to hear that. lt will definitely get better!

donTbone:


1st bolded: tells you you cant handle the fact that you are of higher level than him in education. Reading further in my bolded, you see he is having some doubts too. Once doubts sets in in any relationships, then its hard for it to work out.

2nd bolded: You are in love with your new guy. But the fear of "he is my 1st love" is holding you back. Give your self some time on your love life.

I'd advice you break your present relationship first. Give your self some 4 or 5months to make plans for your self then you can date whoever you wanna date.

NB: Love alone is never enough, common sense is needed.
Besides, did you know if you and your new guy is compatible (blood group and genotype)?

Thanks! l thought about staying off from both too. My genotype and bloodgroup are accomodating!

@Duchesslily, He use to keep in touch but the gap in communication has been for a week now

GO AND PRAY. YOU NEED TO MEET A MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR IN YOUR CHURCH AND SEEK GUIDIANCE. GOD BLESS YOU. AS FOR ME. GO FOR THE YOUNGER GUY

Thanks! l am praying about it.

Sorry for the lengthy write up!
l met a guy on Facebook last year. 13 years older and am in my early twenties. My very first boyfriend and am almost done with Msc. Right from the first day, he wanted marriage. l love him and l believe he does. He just has SSCE. I was worried at first but l didn't want to judge him by that alone. l encouraged him and got to know him. He is a good man but lacks ambition. He is a driver, always talks about starting up a business, but is all talks, no action! l still held on. He is always suspicious and says l would leave him for a younger man who is on same level with me. Suddenly, we had a gap in communication and our long distance relationship started waning. l had a family issue which left me depressed and when l greatly needed his support , he abandoned me telling me that he knows my mind is off from him.
My coursemate and very good friend was and is still there for me. He has always wanted a relationship even after telling him l have someone. He believes our meeting each other is divine. Now this coursemate is making future plans about us even when l haven't agreed to his proposal. He is ambitious! My boyfriend hasn't called me in almost a week and l don't even know if we are still together. l have always told him about my friendship with my coursemate and he always tells me he trust me.
l haven't told my coursemate the issue am having with my boyfriend. l still act as if we are still deeply in love. l have come to care for him now, still have feelings for boyfriend. l don't know which road to take and not end up in regrets. please kindly advice me and am very much open to criticisms. Thank you!

Renaj:



Hello house, please help a sister....
I got the courage to write because of the selfless service y'all are rendering. May God bless you.

I met this guy on Facebook, fell in love and he proposed without us seeing each other(wierd, isn't it?). This all happened within a span of 3 months. Why? This guy who l have never was different from all the guys l' ve met( in a good way). I was reluctant but when we actually met, he was everything he said he is except his age which he lied about. He told me his true age on our first day of meeting, that is, 35 against 30. He said he was scared l may not be real, and that is why he didnt tell me his real age. I will be 23 in June.
On our first day of meeting, we were happy and he insisted on meeting my father with a bottle of wine, which he later did. The next day, l met his mother and she was happy. He introduced me 2 everyone that mattered. Despite all these, l didnt give him a concrete yes!
I am a graduate and just started Msc programme and he is WASC holder. When we just started communication via phone, l knew because of his little errors in written and spoken English, which he does better than most of my course mates in school, but l didnt comment about it. I do correct him and he adjust easily. When we got serious, he told me that he didnt go to the University because of financial constraint. He is exposed though. l told him that l would like him to start an ND program @least and he reluctantly agreed. He is a driver with an oil company in Lagos and barely has time for himself.
Few weeks before we met, he lost his job. He is recently working but the pay isnt much. He has business plans but no capital
He is humble, honest(except the age thing), trustworthy and has a big sense of humor.
I have never been in a relationship. He is my first boyfriend. He lives in Lagos while l live in the east, though we are both from the south east. I have gone to his place and spent 3 days because of a job interview and he never forced me 4 sex,(am a virgin) though we cuddled.
He always seeks for my advice before embarking on anything, and always aims to make me happy. When we started communicating, l was a frustrated applicant on the verge of suicide (lol) but now, though still an applicant, he made me see the whole issue as one of life's hurdles and not a do or die affair.
My fear is that this is my first r/ship. Am scared because l dont know if am being blinded by emotions or not, and him not being financially buoyant. Also a little worried about the age difference. He sometimes hint that l will leave him if l meet a graduate like me or someone richer.
He is a romantic at heart and is planning a romantic proposal in April( l gathered from hints). I am a difficult person, a melancholy and prone to mood changes, but on every occasion, he always have patience and shows maturity in dealing with every issue.
This is new for me, l have no dating experience and don't know if l should say yes with all the differences or date others first. I love him but l need to use my brain too.
Please help!!!
Sorry for the long story.

Hello house,Remember me? Is been a while! Have been busy with the Msc programme. I have been trying to catch up on all that I have missed. @Ma Efemena, you are to be held responsible if.... . I took it slow with my boyfriend, getting to know each other better and it has and is still a wonderful experience. But I have discovered he is not ambitious. Still encouraging him to do better, and he has improved, albeit slowly. He still isnt strong financially, just making little progress. My sisters said he is a good man. But the choice is mine to make. I have met several younger guys in par with me in education, but I dont feel anything for them. I tried to care for one who was really interested in me, despite knowing I have a boyfriend, but he wont simply go. He is making future plans and all that, but am not happy with him or any other. I am still in a dilemma....
