Not true.
Depends on where he chooses.

There are decent 2 bedrooms for N700k.

And a single 22 YO may not even need a 2 BDF.
A room and parlour self contain is okay for him if he want to live comfortably as a young guy.

The question is how much do you have save?

How steady is your source of income

Which work do you do? Is it yahoo

Depending on how much you have don’t go and rent house d 2miilion in Lagos

If you income is not very steady and have less than 5million…don’t rent more than a self contain for now.. for about 300k.. spend about 300-400k to make it comfortable for you.: when you are more settle and your finance get better.. you can move up gradually

So, at 22, you're itching to leave your parents house to rent your own apartment on a 2M budget. Hmmmm... Things dey happen Sha

Well, I left home at 18, just because I had to go hustle for my family. I envy people will stay in their parent's house to grow and develop in their sphere of influence.

Fave the pressure, overcome it, then leave honorably. Don't start your life on a high budget, e get y!

The street isn't the way you know, I've been in it over 12yrs now.
Like I said, I dey envy dis of una wen stay under the roof and guidance of your parents, to come cap am, Dem pay your fees still u finish school. Chaiii!

You say you are a student, you have no job. If you are a Christian, read the story of the prodigal son.
You would come back crawling and begging.
You don't yet have experience with money management. You really don't know too much about investments.
I understand that some homes can be frustrating for a young man but learn to endure. Use your 2 million wisely don't invest it in rebellion.

Is 22 years not an adult? Do you know , what he might be going through living with his parents? Or the condition of where he is living ?

What is he passing through, yet, he saved 2m. He was there and started receiving 750k monthly for 6months now. Many of us wished we had this kind of opportunities

Well, I wish him success in his future endeavors

22? Itching to leave home so fast?

For your info, once you leave your parents place, you'll see that 2m is like 200k.
And you add 'live comfortable' ?

Do you have a job or business? If not,
Why not start a small business first.

People that receive salary find it a bit hard to renew rent.
Calm down. Big Things still dey ahead o.

Well you already have what it takes to start

That money you have is enough to get accommodation and furnish it

The only area you may have issue is being focused with your education and career not allowing ladies to distract you from your focus

At 22 you are still a kid , if your parents are not complaining you living with them why are you in a hurry to leave them. ?
Why not using the 2m to do something creative while still going to school instead of living alone ?
Brother don't be in a hurry to start living alone while you don't have work or business doing you will regret at the end ,that school you might be less studious,many issues will come up financially you will not be able to meet up ..

My candy advice for you is
1.Get the 2m seek for a mentor who will advise you on a good business or any lucrative stuff while you study in school that will help you alot and you will not even be asking your parents for money and that comfortable life you wish living will be at the tip of your fingers..
2 . Don't listen to friends who are brainwashing You to rent an apartment you will receive the bad end of it ..

Life is a choice if you really wish of renting your own house you are free ...

Yes nah, just make sure you stay in an environment that helps your hustle
There are lots of estates in Ajah that you can get something decent for 650k as a bachelor, if you work on the Island
If you work on the mainland, your best bet for residence would be Ikeja, Yaba or Festac and with 600-700k you are good, the State Capital would be higher but under 1m you should be alright, after that find extra source of income, create cash flow and just flex

OP don't mind them 22 is not a kid, u can move out, I moved out 25 I had a job 22, it made me think of how to make money and be responsible, also as a young man, you would want your space and freedom. if you can save 2M, then it means you have the capacity to earn and save some money aside all the best.

Try Oshodi/Surulere or Yaba area but keep hustling,
