Choosing Lagos Island Or Mainland by Kayleb26(m): 9:45am On Sep 23, 2019 |
Good morning everyone. So I date a lady who lives and work on the island while I work and live on the mainland both in Lagos We've had unending discussions about where to settle by the time we marry. She doesn't want to leave the island. For the opportunities that abound there. Having also stayed on the mainland, she believes the stress and rush rush of the mainland is more than that of the island. We can comfortably afford a 2 BR apartment on the mainland but on the island, we'll have to squeeze ourselves to afford same. I am open to relocate to island if that means better opportunities but for now I would rather choose an accommodation in a location I can comfortably afford. Kindly suggest the pros and cons of living on the island or mainland for a new family. Thank you |

Question is where on the island and mainland do you both work? You can look for a neutral location that is not far from the two. Also, if you settle on the island- depending on which part- you should be going against traffic on your way to work. Finally, in the worse case scenario, it is more reasonable for you to be the one to go the farther distance instead of allowing your wife to go through the stress and come back late everyday.

Kayleb26: This shouldn't be an issue in as much as you will take my advice If she insist on relocating to the island, find out the prices of rent and ask her how the payment will be made and how to raise the money If its on your pocket, say no to her that you will rather prefer mainland rent If she insisted that you must be the one to pay, My dear think twice Am not sure she us ready to settle down Living on the mainland is very expensive and that is how it goes up yearly Feeding and health care is even more expensive than rent Ask yourself if you are sure of taking care of her high taste |

Kayleb26: Where is Island? Where do you work? Where does she work? Where are you proposing you live? Where is she proposing you live? |

Hmmm...it seems she earns much because who will be footing the expensive bills of staying on the island? |
