Welcome to Lagos.

I need you to know you would make it from the mainland. Many lagosians live on the mainland and work on the Island. I live in Mushin and my office is at VI. I have been making it. It is scary at first. The thought of waking and hitting the road very early, the fear of entering one-chance, but with time you would get used to it.

You might also find a someone to accommodate you Mon-Fri. Resume first.

Don’t forget to observe your neighbours that drive. Some might be heading to the Island or central mainland at least. They can drop you off at Yaba or the likes and you find your way from there. Jisike ehn.

Welcome to Lagos ké... This is my home..


I understand your point but I can't do it... I can't spend 1500 t 1700 daily on a job Dt I am still on probation..

I just can't...

Baba forget all these people saying you should rent a place or anything like that.
Stay with the babe, focus your Monday to Friday on work. Weekend, you do football and other things to keep yourself busy. Before you know it, six months has come and gone.

Na you know how be for you, no matter how woman matter hard reach its better than that mainland to Island stress. Life na in stages

God bless you!

Thank u so much boss.. U too much bros

janzguy:
LOLZ!!! Guy, women dont operate like that oh!! She could make a drastic turn at you overnight and they are not as considerate as men. If you must stay then I suggest you make the full payment yourself.

I don't av the money to pay full ooo... Except we share. Money no dey.. Bro

ThickSharon123:
3k-20k a week or you can extend it, but you'll be staying with people. If you've been to the university, you'll have no problem with it.

Not a chance... 20k a week thanks for ur advice but forget it .....


And no university around here on the island Dt is close....

Han ahn 20k a week for how much salary.. When I am still on probation..

Forget it.. Thanks for ur contributions

U dnt really understand me

kaywhy09:
Do what you have to do.

Which is?

King44:
She doesn't have to be your gf. Just treat her the same way you would treat your girl, you can drop money once a while cos always could give her entitlement mentality.

Those her my 2 cents women are complicated.

An when you begin live with people you go know their true nature, doing that doesn't make you a simp but shows that you also care about running the house.

Thank you bro... I appreciate.. She trust me bcox of our history and she knows how nice and responsible I am. So she doesn't have any problem with me..

I am jsut scared of women sumtyms

tellwisdom:
Na by force to work for island??...come make I give you work for site...Come de offload cement.

Sir.. Do u pray or wish that ur brother or sis to carry cement for site after graduating from school ??

Anyways, I don do laborer B4.. Carry cement, Carry block and that was then..


Now I am a graduate and God will not let me go back to site carrying cement again.. I went to school so as not to carry cement or block in site.. I did all and hustle to make a good grade not to carry cement.


I will soar high despite the difficulties.

Thanks

King44:
Just make sure that you have a job that keep you busy almost 24 hours and you drop money regularly cos if you dey house on a steady you may seem crazy, that could even be the end of your friendship with her.

With men it could be crazy
With women na another level of craziness

Above all, no dey house, get busy and assist her with money to make up for your absence.

Money for what.. She is nt my gf...... I can only assist if I av, I'm nt obligated too.
And we will be paying the rent together

How I wish you are in port Harcourt. I have never been to Lagos so I don't know how it is there but I feel your plight. Take a risk and stay with her, change your attitude and be very nice to her. As soon as you are paid japa from her. THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH

Thank you boss

ThickSharon123:
Check Jiji, or Bookings.com or Google Chrome just search Hostels in the island. And you get cheap rates, but most times it favours we women. You men have a problem with your fellow men . I gues ls you people's strong head and gra gra is too much.

And the price is like how much..

If I had much, I wunt consider staying

uptownemmygee:
I for say make you go stay irrespective of the condition, their are a lot of people that built their own house from staying in a single room without toilet and bathroom but that lady friend of yours is my main concern because women are like snake five minutes they are friendly and the next minutes they can bite you.

U get my point exactly....

ThickSharon123:
You can get a hostel

Where Dt one dey?

Mom007:
Dear op, don't let people who don't live in Lagos advice you to be commuting from mainland to island and back everyday o. You will just kill yourself. How I wish this person was a guy... It would have been great but a stubborn lady...?
Well, staying idle is a no- no. If you must move in with that lady, you must be very disciplined. Carry your own foam or mat or whatever. You must be strictly roommates and don't ever cross the lines of familiarity. Cook your own food, if possible, eat outside before coming home. That place should just be where you lay your head at night and never get comfortable in that arrangement. Never rest until you move out and avoid the mentality of " I must use my money finish before I move out." If you get something better 2 weeks or 2months down the line, move out and leave the place for them. Its unfortunate the country is so bad and is forcing you to even consider such arrangements. We pray it gets better, for all our sakes.

You seem to be the only one dt captured my point exactly as it is...


Most people don't understand going from mainland to island..

And I sleep on the floor bcox I am not comfortable with the bed..... And there is notin btw us.. Even though she is very free with me but I don't want it to get to much.

U can't predict ladies behavior. I am trying to be careful.. C

Concerning the rent... She said we shud pay 1 year but I opined Dt 6 months is okay.... I don't wana intend to stay too long if God makes me get the job fully after the probation period

cosby07:
PLEASE I BEG YOU WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE AND LIFE TO COME, DON'T TRY IT TALKLESS OF DOING IT. I AM A VICTIM, PLEASE AGAIN, DON'T DO IT, A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE

What shud I do bro.. No place again

MHBNeiman:
Well, whatever decision you're going to make, please don't ever agree to live together.

Then what shud I do bro

I know you not but rest in peace papa

Oloristarr:
Baba said he doesn’t drink or smoke and he’s of good behavior and a Christian loooooooooool
You can do all and still be a good person and u can do none and be the most evil out there
Psychologist would be wary of a man that claims no vices

Noted má.. Thank you

jimcaddy:
See it's not worth the stress. Just reject it and look for something on the mainland. Because the moment you move in with her, trouble will begin. You wouldn't want to be enmeshed in the wahala of face-me-i-face-you house....

I can't reject this job and stay jobless m.. Even my brother place on the mainland is choking me seriously and I planned moving out when I save enough after working......

I can never reject the job. Not in this type of economy

Akinpresident:
What of buying a bicycle and commute even if it's not the whole distance?

Like, you can ride the bike to some distance and park it at a safe place and complete the journey vua taxi.
While returning, you take taxi to the same location and ride back home.

Eliminate the idea of staying with a woman.
This is not a matter of being a simp or not.

You cannot afford all the troubles that'd come later.

I no Sabi bicycle and bicycle from mainland is no option. Stress nko..

Wiifesnatcher:
if you're the social type, you couldn't get along within few days, guys acquaintance doesn't take that long except you're not the type that relate easily

But I still need a place to stay B4 I even get on the job.....

Olayetan:
It's a tough one,
Honestly, i won't advise you to move in with the girl but coming from ipaja to chevron will drain your salary.


Before you decide to move in with her, try to explore other options...

I am trying... But she said we need to pay the rent this weekend so landland wunt come and harass her....

It is really closing in on me.... Infact I am currently sourcing for my own part of the money and I bliv God will do it

htdot:
Sdn doing me shege... down 50% from 3.89 to 2.15... e be thing.

Wiifesnatcher:
Timekeeper just follow this guy advise you will be fine. let that lady option be a second alternative not primary conclusion


exhaust all means first before concluding on managing with her even if at all you fall back to her, you should leave at the end of Friday and resume there after work on monday



women dey disrespect easily, friends na from far away e dey sweet

I get your point.. Dts my fear too but I don't know much people here

B4 I can get to meet work place people for assistance, i shud established myself in the place first...... It may take months and I still av to stay sumwer B4 I establish my relationship with work place people

Mercychen:
Ehn.. square with the guy if his place is better.

No one yet... I am looking out for one..

sisisioge:
What's all this bayi....biko go and find your own space separate. Abi you're getting married to the lady friend ni? It is well.

How do I get a separate place when there is no much funds and I am just starting a job on probation?

Uyi168:
