I remembered when I gained admission into this University I am in now, my sister called me one night during December when we were having our Christmas at home. She asked how would I cope especially finding a good house. I told her I don't want an expensive home but with low budget. She screamed and said "Busayo think big for yourself"
I smiled and I told her if I should go settle down for a big apartment, who would be helping me pay the house rent? Mom is no more, Dad isn't working again. Would I put everything on you after taking responsibility for paying my school fees? Because the way I was seeing it then, my Aunts weren't ready to sponsor me because I know how we disagreed when they told me not to go for this degree but to sit for another Jamb.
I and my friend decided to get a room so we can split the bills together. She only spent some months which she packed out because her younger sister also gained admission and I told her we three can't share a room. I am still managing the two of us. She understood and got a room in the same compound. I was free and living alone.
Ever since I have been living alone in year 2019, I never enjoyed the house itself not to talk of my room. Rats everywhere, strange insects you have never seen before. I have used all my clothes to block every areas in my room 😄😄 I was even shy to bring in a guest to sleep over. Rat will definitely welcome such person.
It got to a point, I sat down and went into deep thought. This is just the type of life I lived with my parent then when I was young. I don't want such life for myself again.
I told @Olasquare in his article sometimes ago how I have been influenced so negatively in this house. Like these kind of people are living with poor mindset. I couldn't take it again. People that do not know how to use phones or any gadgets. They are ignorant of many things. They will even be complaining of me spending my whole time on phone doing nothing as opposed by then. They act weird on some things they shouldn't have. They are just too local for me. Lol and they aren't ready to learn even if you try to explain things to me. It is what they know alone.
There are so many indigenes here and they do not think or behave like a real University students should 😁😁
I remembered when I stepped into Unilag (University of Lagos) trying to obtain diect entry form then, their hostels alone are filled with classy individuals. I also went to University of Ibadan but they can never compare them with students in my area here 😄 I don't see any difference between them and local people in the village.
The last time I talked with my younger sister who graduated from University of Benin through WhatsApp Video Call, I know how she insulted me (though it was a joke) I understand her. I can't invite her to such a house and she would come. Never! She hated living a life like this. Not to now talk of my elder sister who lives in Lekki (big People's area) 😁😁
THANK GOD MY TIME IS LIMITED HERE
I have been searching for a good house as told by my sister and I am working towards packing out by the end of December by God's grace. I want to get out of this low life and move to where I belong. At least I would still be spending another year after my graduation pending the time we would be posted for our National Service Year. I don't want to go and stay at home. No! I am now living my own life.
I even spoke to my sister yesterday because according to her, she would be able to send me the house rent by next month God's willing but I am thinking if I can get the house now and pay using my Bch money, then she can return to me later. I am just glad because Bch is saving my life now.
She said I should be patient and wait for her. She didn't want me to spend a penny from what I have though. So, I am already counting my days to be spent here.
Looking for a house that has running water in it with good environment. Already talked to some agents and they are assuring me I will get a good one by December. I want to get out of this house as soon as possible and be free from different ants, insects and the boss of all which is rats 😄
I told few friends of mine here and they are like I should stay and Instead of wasting money again, I should spend little for this room. I was like "they have come again with their mentality" I won't be influenced again. I must get out of my shell just like what @Kushyzee said 😁😁
They want to draw me back but I will drag myself from them. This is a crab's mentality just like I read again from his article this morning. Lol
Thanks for reading

Happy for you, Busayo. Go get out of that house. Be free and limitless. Do whatever you want.
