I am sure the op is an ikwere man.
I have been in phc for 8 years and have never seen of heard of an ikwere man leave ikwere land or travel out.

The indiginship of a thing has eaten so dip into them.

I am sure, there is no ikwere man or phc man in Lagos. I stand to be corrected.

My advice to op is this, don't go to Lagos because you will be the only ikwere man there.
bro don't let me send slap to you wherever you are, you just sit in your poo and spew junk spontaneously who told you there are no ikwerres in lagos half of my relatives are based in Lagos, by the way people move to Lagos for greener pastures and pH is well endowed with opportunities and less hassles we have virtually everything or have you seen a Lagos indigene relocating to yenagoa for business? Be careful this Sunday night

Do not move to any new city in Nigeria if you have no job offer,a support system,money,a hustling spirit or if you're not smart. This holds true in America as it does in Lagos or Abuja.
I've lived in 5 states spread across Nigeria and can vow that's Lagos offers the greatest opportunities for the adventurous, hustling, determined, hardworking person.
You can make it in Lagos only if you're smart. Or you'll be one of the people just struggling to survive but you'll still be happy.
It's a city of happy people.

If you have a degree,develop a personality,know where to go and who to talk to,how to talk, then you can make it anywhere in the world.
People who had never been in Lagos moved here with nothing and are winning.

The most important ingredient in any passionate endeavour is determination(what we call "sense" in Lagos,"hustle",smarts).
Shine your eyes wherever you decide to go.

It depends on what you are doing and what you want to become in life. If you are a salary earner and have no intentions of venturing into business, pls remain in phc. But if you are a risk taker and wants to be a business mogul, choose Lagos. If u are a musician/actor/upcoming artist, choose Lagos. Below is a guideline:
1) musician- Lagos
2) militant- phc
3)blogger-Lagos
4) oil bunkering- Phc
5)importer/exporter-Lagos
6)job applicant- Lagos
7)banker-phc....lagos will makeu leave your house 4am and return by 10pm everyday
cool add yours

Plz stop insulting my beloved PHC, every State and indeed city got it's good, bad and ugly sides.

@OP. As loads of people have already suggested I'll emphasize that you take a break from work (maybe a leave) then visit Lagos & other places first to relax & broaden your scope of ideas, rather than making a hasty move.

I LEFT EKITI FOR LAGOS 2003 AND ON GETTING TO LAG MY BROTHER REJECTED ME ON THE GROUND THAT I DIDN'T INFORM HIM BEFORE COMING. I MET A GUY WHO CAME FROM STATE AND HE ACCOMMODATED ME BEFORE HE WENT HAYWIRE. AFTER THEN ANOTHER GOOD SAMARITAN ACCOMMODATED ME FOR A WHILE BEFORE HE WENT TO SERVICE. AND I WASN'T BULGE BECAUSE I WAS DETERMINED I WILL NOT GO BACK TO EKITI. I BEGAN DOING CONDUCTOR EVENT HOUGH IT AGAINST MY WISH BUT I HAVE A NO CHOICE. ONE DAY I KNELT DOWN AND ASKED GOD FOR A FAVOUR CONCERNING WORK. ON ONE FATEFUL DAY, I WAS GOING JEJELY WITHOUT LOOKING FOR WORK AND GOD GAVE ME A JOB WHEN I WAS LEAST EXPECTED. THE MOST AWESOME PART OF THE JOB WAS THAT IT PROVIDED ME AN ACCOMMODATION WHICH WAS MORE THAN AN HEADACHE TO ME. IT WAS AN HOTEL JOB WHICH MEAN I CAN SLEEP AFTER CLOSING LATE. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF GOOD THINGS IN MY LIFE BECAUSE BEFORE THEN I HAD SLEPT OUTSIDE MANY TIMES. AFTER SIX MONTHS, I WAS ABLE TO RENT AN APARTMENT OF MY OWN AND EVEN ACCOMMODATED MY FRIENDS AND THEN INVITED MY YOUNGER BROTHER FROM VILLAGE TO LIVE WITH THE ME AND ALSO WORK. AFTER SOME YEARS OF HUSTLE, GOD CAPPED MY HUSTLE BY GIVING ME A VISA AND NOW I'M A LIVING TESTIMONY THAT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. MAN DON'T GIVE UP CUZ IT A RISK NOT TO TAKE A RISK. WHO KNOWS, IT MAY BE YOUR BIGGEST DESCISION IN LIFE. PLUS THOSE WHO CHERISH THEIR COMFORT ZONES AND REFUSED TO EXPLORE ARE NOT DOING THEMSELVES FAVOUR.

Lemme break it down for you.

Ikwerre people come from a state of about 6million people, that posts a yearly IGR of N82Billion, have multinational companies aplenty, seaports and strategic facilities of national importance. We are usually first option whenever there's a job opening. We do not need to travel to Lagos to seek greener pastures. The grass is very green on our side.

The Rivers indigene and the real Lagos indigene are in the same same shoes.

No vacancy in Lagos. The deportation will resume shortly, especially as militants are now ravaging Lagos suburbs.

You can try Uyo, Onitsha, or Yenogoa. They are not far.

Be careful what you wish yourself.

Lagos is HARSHER economically by far than PH, so don't bother to move because it is more like moving from cat's den to lions den. PH is ok at least you can trek from Waterlines to Agip or from mile-1 to Town, everywhere is almost close to each other, but there is no trekkable distance in Lagos, everywhere is just far from each other particularly a beginner like you, you will smell pepper.

Be careful my brother, stay where you know already than venturing into an unknown with JUST a matchet and a stick.

#Be sure of what you wish yourself!






Lagos is small in terms of land mass. Distance between locations in lagos arent really far but the bus fares are something else....

Lagos is toxic...I left that city 20years ago and I thank God I did.

The air quality is poor,the noise pollution is the worst in Africa.

Agbero no be here,in fact find another place go.

Abuja,Jos,Kaduna and Delta go intead of thinking ofmoving to such a place.
