Adams Ibrahim Adebola, better known by his stage name VJ Adams, is a well-known television host who has offered his opinion on why youngsters shouldn’t be in hurry to leave their parents’ home.
The OAP posted a video on his Instagram page in which he referred to the high cost of rent, particularly in expensive areas.
According to VJ Adams, the argument for seeking “freedom” is a justification for being reckless and out of control.
He gave the illustration of saving up rent for 10 years in a parent’s home as being preferable to leaving early.
He said:
“If you’re 17, or 18, I don’t see why you are in a hurry to leave your parents’ house, especially if your parents live in good proximity areas. ‘I need freedom’, you don’t need freedom. You simply want to smoke weed and do drugs.
Think about it, if you’re 17 and will be 27 in ten years, imagine saving N3M every year for 10 years instead of using it to pay rent. You’d have saved N30m and will be able to get a comfortable space when you’re ready to move at 27.”
VJ Adams who has been rumoured to be in a relationship with actress, Bimbo Ademoye, stated the case of those who are without options like himself who had to leave his parent’s house due to proximity to his workplace.
