Don't make the mistake of climbing Oshodi pedestrian bridge with your wallet in your back pocket. Put it in front trouser pocket and put your hand in there as well.

No try cross Cele bus stop by dashing across the road.

Of course, wetin go carry you enter bus wey get only "one chance", or making call in a car in traffic with the phone on the window side, or wearing expensive earrings in traffic (a friend's mum paid very dearly for this mistake; scars showing where the bling was forcefully pulled from her ears are a huge reminder)?

If you are in a human traffic and you hear a female voice saying 'obe l'ori yin o', make you change direction quickly. Especially if you are all dressed up for an interview.  The woman is warning you to move, before she pours the hot stew she is carrying on your head.

True life story.

. . and learn how to hold your breadth inside a crowded molue. Orisirisi iso / body odour / mouth odor / armpit odor

@Poster. I think everything u need to know has been pointed out. One last thing; avoid stepping on polythene materials on the ground,, they usually contain, u do the math.

. . . always hold your change when taking public transportation. Or else, dem go join you together with person and you'll have to buy tomtom or mirinda to get the now even reduced change.

If your tyre goes out on top 3rd mainland bridge at night, no stop o!

drive the car with the rim till you reach gas station for iyano oworo or alapere

. . .and dont be surprised to be people 'taking a dung' from the bridge into the water.

You sef fit do am if the thing catch you. Na free for all o -  no let them charge you

More hygenic than the public toilets around.

Eko ile to the core. You better go and learn all Lagos street slang codes first. They will determine your adaptability level most especially when you're within awon omo pano. If you don't want to be harras too much just say ''tuwhyle'' and you're free to run no walk ooo

More advise:

If you hear ''oni duro wo tan'', don't ask what they mean ooo. Just dey runnnn dey go. Mai bro na the best best advise I dey give you so oo.

learn how to swim or enter public ferry without life jacket . . just in case.

Also adding to d lots of advice above - do not be shy or afraid to ask questions.
NOTABLE WORDS u'ld hear and their meanings-
1. o wa - wen in a bus and u want to alight, u say 'o wa' meaning its okay.
2. 10 naira is called 'fiber', 20 is 'shandy', 50 is 'wazo', 100 is 'h', 200 is '2h or awo'.
3. when jumping down a moving bus (cos most times u would), don't jump and stand (if not na summersault u go find urself dey do) instead, u jump and take 3 or 4 steps forward.
