I'm having headache arguing on this issue: is it advisable for a young girl to stay alone. Please relate your opinion on this matter. Thanks

hmm. well if she can take care of herself, and security is assured, then no problem. but if not, let her stay with her parents till marriage calls oo

not really advisable but it depend.

Living alone as a single lady is perceived wrong in the Yoruba culture except in some few exceptional/uncommon cases (when a situation calls for it, ofcourse the parents have to be very understanding to consider that). Like in a situation where you are been offered a job very far away from where your parents stays, and you are left with no other option than to get an accommodation close to your workplace, they'd probably support your decision on the ground that you'd have to be visiting them from time to time and also be prepared for their unannounced visits.
