Hey fellow nairalanders, He is new in Lagos (Ojo precisely) and want some helpful advice on how to stay safe and enjoy Lagos to it's maximum. Please try to be nice as your advice will be very helpful. Thanks

The safety rules that obtains where you came from also applies in Lagos but you have to put in more efforts because there are probably more criminals and muderers compared to where you're coming from.

How did this make d front page wt no single comment? Ds mods sef!!!

Shine ur eye well well!!!

FP and no comments ..strange

1st i'l ask u, wich village u from come nd wetin carry u come lagos?

Always be smart and attentive.

Where you pass enter lagos....in other state border they always write welcome to kano,oyo but in lagos na THIS IS LAGOS

Never leave home without your sixth sense, you need it more than your two eyes!

My candid advise to u is to just be yourself, never talk to streangers, ask question frm people expecially elders wen you miss ur way, dont enter one chance bus, e.g wen boarding a bus, dont enter frm outside the motor park, always enter frm the park for safty reasons, also make sure u arrive back home as early as possible i.e wen you go out perhaps b4 7:30pm @ most, finally, be security wise and always keep a tourch light around u wen sleeping, becos you never can tell wen you will need it, wen power goes off....

Intresting. Even my posts haven't made front page I wonder how dis got there.
Anyways, what are we talking abt here? An educated nigerian adult? Dats what u need to be to survive...and I hope he has ears too. Ok o! Lata tinz

Just learn to mind your business and don't be a "Lagos Looker" (those that stand to watch any incident happening on the road. Avoid Night crawling and flashy living, then any other precaution you have developed from where you are coming from.

Diri sharp!

If its Ojo local govt area,then apply the following rules:
1.Be careful of cultist in that area,they maim,and obtain at will.(Iba,PPL,Franklass,etc)people in the area know what am talking about.
2.Never you go buy any electronics(New ones)in ALABA int'l market,na fake dem go give you.
3.Don't leave your home too early,you will be robbed at alaba rago,or before iyana-iba.
5.Most of the area no dey get lite,try buy small gen,or else,na heat go kill you,if robber no kill u.
6.Always enter coaster bus,or you are most likely to be whisked away by ritualist,along badagry road.
7.Girls there like money,cos Alaba boys don spoil dem wit cash,most of the boys can't toast,except they flash cash.
8.Manage buy small tv,and you are on your way to fvck your landlord daughter.
9.Get rainbooth,na water logged area ooo.
10. More to come.

Pray before you leave your home daily. This is key because its only by His grace that anyone survives in this city.

Always let someone (a TRUSTED confidant) know where you are and where you are going.

Don't act like the new boy in town.

Finally, finish your intended business in Lagos and return swiftly to where you are from.

MY ADVICE IS THAT THE JJC SHOULD GO BACK TO HIS GADDEM VILLAGE DAMMIT....

LAGOS IS FULL!!!

I concur. Is Lagos the only habitable place?

Always hold ur change when entering danfo and remember to shout owaaa when u get to ur bus stop.

Ibanga p: 1st i'l ask u, wich village u from come nd wetin carry u come lagos?

HE CAME TO DRIVE OKADA

Move around like madman. Mad people live in Lag. If u are not mad, danfo guys will make u mad. My 5 cents sha.

Lagos is just like any other states/cities in Nigeria. It will be how you want it to be to you. Live uprightly, be smart, be undaunted. . . in fact, be sure you are right, then go ahead

Sharp up quick quick.

guy here hard die. i suggest u return to villa.

My2Cents: Welcome to Lagos, the land of opportunities. Lagos will teach you her lessons and you will learn naturally, to advise you will mean to scare you. Use native intelligence. And Please relocate from Ojo to Lekki, we need more people here.

Welcome to the survival of the fittest haha
Ma no gere ma slow unless gbe ori e orrhoo!! The guy never see anything ojo haha okokomaiko body go tell am

No late nights, try to know the basic words in yoruba if you don't.

Always visit ashawo house cos lagos get plenty and all gals for lagos na ashawo openly or on mobile these days - at least I will get some ashawo hotel location for ojo soon. For the JJC

Information gathering still going on and, Nigerians, generous and open minded as ever, still dolling it out...
