I have carefully read almost all d comments here, why dis topic is interesting to me is because i wanna make a reverse of your decision. About 90% of d advise u have bin given is true. Guy? Lagos is hell, by your description, u dnt have a family here, dat will make life more difficult. If u hv a job already in ph, i ll advise u to stay put except ur coming here to pick up an available job. I am not from lagos but i hv stayed here for almost 20yrs n i graduated frm unilag n inspite of knowing d tricks of d town, its not still easy. However, ur story cud b different but u must be very careful, dis town is indeed crazy.

I've lived and worked in both cities and I must tell you this, no difference in the two.
You see the traffic in PH eh multiply it by 3 then you get Lagos traffic.
Security nko? No much difference if you ask me.
In fact, PH n Lagos are two sides of a coin.
Unless you like crazy lifestyle, I'd suggest Uyo, Calabar or Enugu for you.
My humble opinion

I like your courage. Up till now my company has been cajoling me to relocate to Lagos. We Ph guys have a natural phobia for Lagos and it's fast unending life style. We are not lazy but only unique in our style of having a peaceful life. Don't mind the current cult activities in Ph now, it's not our style.

My broda, my broda, my broda. How many times did I call u? Three times, lagos no easy ooooooo ooooooo. I am a testimony. when i started my nysc in lagos in 2014, March 11 precisely I was normal when I left my state IMO STATE to lagos for my nysc. My broda but after I left the nysc camp without knowing anybody in lagos, thinking that the school where I was posted for my ppa will offer me accommodation. My broda after two months lagos automatically turned me to agbaro. My broda if u see me chai you understand what am saying. My broda work/job no dey lagos ooooooo, if you no get contact or connect(in phyno voice). But if u get connect and also get money, my broda you go enjoy lasgidi. Ajao Estate is d best place to live in lagos mainline and also Anthony area.

"aja tiko gbo fere olode, lo pada sonu" a dog that does nt hear d sound of d hunter's whistle later got lost. U made it in Portharcourt nd nw u want to start all over in Lagos. New friends, new biz, no family, no adviser, no lover, u are on a long thing. I hope Lagos will nt turn ur life upside down. Turning u upside down mentally will be d greatest disaster to happen to u. Comming to seek/get a job is okay but comming 4 nothing is a very stupid decision. Most importantly, have a realistic plan nd a goal or u just come nd chase shadow nd may end up regretting 4 d rest of ur life. This goes 4 those who made it in Lag nd still want to go to another territory. The king in 'Sambisa Forest' is a slave in 'Mombasa forest'. Think about this.

Welcome on board bro,
I made similar move in 2008 five years after serving and working in phc and it really paid off.
The terrains are little different now but you can still achieve your goals.
Traffic will blow your mind. How on earth will one leave home as early as 5.30am and still won't get to office before 8.
You will find the balance in other costs of living like housing, transportation and feeding as they are not too different from what you are used to in phc if not cheaper.
May God be with you as you navigate your way through success in Lagos.

Bro, PH isn't bad O. Me I was born in Delta, Warri to be precise, but I moved to Lagos at the age of 7, dis my Primary n Secondary Schools here, before I moved to my father's land "Owerri", got admission in ABSU and graduated. In general I've spent most of my time in Owerri, but after University I came to Lagos for greener pastures like yhu're about to. I won't advice yhu not to, cos I personally got favoured from it. I came in 1st of March, and I started working 15th of March. I won't tell yhu it's easy either. Think twice about it. I don waka for these streets, the few pairs of shoes I came with don chop, na 1 I dey manage nw. But atleast I have somewhere comfortable I'm staying wiv a relation. So I'd advice the first thing yhu shud look for is accommodation. If yhu want to rent a place yhurself, I hope yhu can manage the toughness of the cheap areas.

Dem ones where you come on nairaland to help make up your mind but you end up leaving confused.

To the Op I'd say if you're young and have less responsibilities then go for the Lagos. Shouldn't restrict you're life to just PH. No matter how hard a place is people still make it plus it's a good feeling trust.
Even if it doesn't go as planned you could relocate to another state

I was born in Lag, did my pry, secondary and tertiary education in Lag, working as an underemployed contract staff of one mumu company like that. #sad.
I can't wait to grab any opportunity that will hasting my relocation from Lagos. I do travel sometimes, and I so much love the stress free life in those states I've travelled to.
Bros, I will advice you to relocate to other state if u will have means of livelihood over there because Lagos live is stressful and expensive (accommodation, transportation, feeding, excessive taxation especially if u are mobile, desperate fraudsters everywhere, agberoh, thugs etc)
amidst all these Lagos is free from terror , Lagos is a land for adventurous hustler, Lagos will sharpen your IQ, Lagos is a beautiful state, lovely n funful beaches to cool off if u have cash.
But I'm tired of Lasgidi.

The guy might just do better than you, why discourage him??

Dude, if you are bold and confident , please feel free to join the next flight to Lagos.

Stay in hotel for the first 2 weeks and get an apartment.

We are even talking of Interstate traveling here, What about peeps travelling out of the country indefinitely without knowing their faith or even able to speak language.

It's for your progression and knowledge acquisition.

it's best you leave and experience the taste of another environment. I have been living and working in Port Harcourt for 3 year's now and I came to discover that an average indigene haven't crossed the borders of Port harcourt. It's that terrible and it limits their way of thinking and associating with outsiders.
I advice u go out there and explore life irrespective of what it has to offer.

That your statistic is a hoax, strangers in PH say that a lot, and is jst like saying all PH girls are prostitutes.

Lagos is a nice place too.. But ehnnnnn me that is used to port Harcourt life.. I don't see myself in a place like Lagos.
But Op once in a while we need to leave our comfort zone.. If you feel you can make it in Lagos.. Go ahead.. At least I know my dad left ph and he has made it now in Lagos.

Just don't go unprepared. Have a plan and when you get there focus on your goal. If you see yourself not making it just come back to your family in Port Harcourt.
