"My only advice to young boys coming up that want to rent a house to stay: live below your means. No go dey live above your means. This advice is coming from a place of p@in and ag&ny.
Make you no go cry like me, because this house that I’m currently staying in, I’ve been given a quit notice, and I only have three days left to move out.
I don’t have anywhere to go, and I don’t have any money too. If I had money, I would have renewed the rent.
Since February, my rent expired, and the landlord has been disturbing me, asking, “How far?” Up till this moment, I don’t have a dime to pay. Even feeding is a str&ggle.
I don’t want anyone to pity me. It was my reckless lifestyle that got me here, and the fact that I wanted to live above my means and meet up with society’s standards so they could also regard me as a big boy.
I wish I knew. I would have rented just a self-con. I went to rent a two-bedroom flat, and na only me dey stay there.
When I rented this apartment last year, I quit Yah00. Though it was my only source of income, my future didn’t rhyme with it.
No one should help or pity me, but if someone still offers to assist me, I go thank God..."
