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. 2 Likes |

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.... 1 Like |

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. |

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. 5 Likes |
