Why Is Lagos So Busy? by mastercee(m): 6:08am On Oct 09, 2018
There is Lagos; and there is lagos.

9 a.m. Banana Island. Cynthia cracks open her eyes, rolls to the edge of the bed, snoozes her alarm and dozes off again.

Why wake up so early when she has only one logo design project on her plate? She had negotiated a less-pressured deadline with the American client, who had contacted her on the strength of another happy client's recommendation.

The estate where Cynthia lives is peopled by many like her. People who, by way of parental influence, political connections or technical skills, are in control of their time, their destinies...

Cynthia owns her time. Cynthia is a Lagosian. She lives in Lagos. She is never busy; she is living the life.

4.30 a.m. Ikorodu. Segun is already seated inside a BRT bus bound for Victoria Island, his head in his hands, eyes closed as he tries to take a nap in transit. The night before he had gotten home as late as 11 p.m. Mountain of Fire and Miracles faithfuls had caused a lock-jam as they traveled from all parts of Lagos to their camp for a crusade...

Given a choice, Segun would rather he slept a little more at home. However, he is well aware that the price of lateness in his workplace is an admonitory deduction of 1,000 naira from his 35,000 naira salary. This month, he had come late twice already...

Segun is trading his time for money. He is a lagosian. He lives in lagos. He is ever busy; he is dying slowly...

What was your question again? Lagos? or lagos?

I'll keep saying it, Lagos is too busy for my personality. How will I be leaving home by 5am to get back at say, 10pm.

Money is not my motivation in life. Peace of mind and ability control my time is my priority.

I was born n breed in Lagos but finally left when things looks gloomy especially traffic, transport n housing fee.

Now, I can only go supply my goods and come back to my base

Or say, for a wedding, pay a visit to my friends in Lagos, can't live there.

Too tight mehn

I left Lagos too and we now only go there for shopping. Everyone is Lagos is just too angry. Kilode

I am now in Ogun state and it's much better only that the roads are terrible but I work online so as long as my gen is on I am good to go.

My next move is to start buying land and go into farming. No time grin
