The Nigerian environment is not favourable to just leave your parents home without proper planning and a secured job.What if you leave and go and rent a house and one thing led to another you lost your job and cannot pay house rent and utility bills and the landlord give you a quit notice,where will you go to?You will go back to your parents house and start from a scratch.I know guys who left their parents houses and when they lost their jobs they couldn't go back home.They left their rented apartment when their rent expired and started squatting with friends.Their friends are also not comfortable with their continued living with them they have to go back home.

Boss you're right 100%

I’m not consoling him o

Consoling speech.

Possiblegee:
your parents should take good care of you if your still in school until your through with school t,that’s why I said at least 27/28

you can still work from home to save money. rushing to get your own apartment has left many youth damaged both financially and morally

For me I left home very early for college 16/17, travelled out after service and never looked back since except visitation.. but my street brother stayed and married in his father's house, built a sport betting company from home, built his first house from home, leveraged on his father's Goodwill and became a caretaker LGA chairman, and became a multimillionaire ,


If I never had to pay huge rent because of Vagina aka Privacy I could have done a lot at home, and if I had stayed and put up with my parents "wahala" I would had been better motivated

Serving a Landlord by paying your rents to him is a sure way not to get your own house, always leverage on family support


.

True shii...leverage on family support but of course that's if there is any.

Whenever you get married.


I live in my papas house,
Eat all the food in the store, But he Still refils the store whenever the family is in town for holiday.
Am waay above 20, have a good business, Hell i even drive his car way he left for the compound despite having mine.

Don't pay rent, Don't pay bills

Is it only me that feels nairaland has become shit. Lot's of nonsense all over nairaland including the front page

True, if you can't help don't be a burden

Exactly, that is it... A female child doesn't leave her parents house, untill they come for her hand, unless she is a working class, and her work is far from their house etc

Haywhymido:
For males 25-27.
For females until when them come for your hand in marriage. No go become corporate olosho by living alone o

I left my parents house at the age of 17...

Life was not fair, I have to go out to the world to hustle for the coins

Most times in life you have no choice than to fight the hard way and also don’t forget to put God no matter how hard things might be at that point in time

I give glory to God for everything!!!


Ps: I can’t speak for other people cuz we all are different, You should leave anytime you feel the time is right!!

Like this post I saw on this blog, I hereby throw the question to you guys on NL.

https://punchng.com/at-what-age-should-an-adult-leave-their-parents-house/

For me age is not a matter especially in Nigeria. As long as you are above 18 and can hustle and you have a plan. You're good to go.

This question keeps coming up every so often.

The parents dont own the house, the children do. The parents are just housekeepers pending when children are ready to take over ownership.

Hahahahahaha sorry o, am just trying to become a motivational speaker... Am still with them at 23

Adonike:
My brother, once you graduate from school (especially higher institution), u no suppose go back home again.

That is in an ideal situation unless you want to Puppi.

Ok motivational speaker

In my opinion, you can leave once you have a very good reason to leave and once you can take care of yourself.

Experience is the best teacher.

I just rather other people's experience.

If your parents are not poor, your work is not too far from home and you have a bit of space, stay at home.

I know rich kids who stay at their parents' house investing their supposed rent and raking in millions.

That your street bros is so so wise.

in saner climes its 18

bukatyne:
Funny question, depends on family and economic status.

The richer one's family is, the less the pressure to leave the house before you are ready to (marriage or job).

When to leave the house without a concrete reason to do so is usually a discussion for the lower class.

fact's just like me still living with my mother's

Resist it!

Exactly.
It depends on family and social status.

True.

Richer people stay back home building wealth except when their parents' home is far or they have a very toxic relationship.

don't worry one will locate you. that's how I was told" face your fears" and the orda day a dog almost bite me

armyofone:
Better than making a place you lived as baby a permanent place in your 20s.
We will figure it out when that eventually happen to us - but in the meantime, move out of your parents home after university and go face life....it is called "grow up"
Let them rest from seeing you daily.

Face which life?It is only a nagging parents that can push a graduated son out on the street.
If a young graduate have a peaceful home he won't become a street hustler and a squatter.
