Eyin omode wonyi, e o serious rara. E kan ng mu eru ba omolomo ni bayi.

@OP! A lot has been said that are very right and correct. What I will add is to avoid late outings. If you must party, go in group. If you drive, dont stop on the third mainland bridge when it is dark. This also applies to the Ikorodu Road, especially the SERVICE LANES. We were robbed there last year by armed gang, who blocked our vehicle, and at gun point carted all valueables away. We were glad they never injured us much or killed us. According to the police at the Pedro Police Stations Shomolu, some other guys were not as lucky. The time was around 9 pm October 1st, 2010. Nigeria is generally a very dangerous country. Although I believe you know that already, if I can rightly assume you are living in Akure. Akure is no less dangerous. Bank Robbering is prevalent there too now as I understand. However, Lagos is in a class of it's own. It is indeed centre of excellence in Nigeria, including crime. Just be careful! Eledumare a wa pelu e.

If you hear ''gbo laga'', no ask who be that, na just slap on your face. Just take am like that dey go je je because if fit be from agbero wey don kolo. No try settle matter for bus stop or inside bus. Else, he go be your own. . . . . WORD!

Watch wat u say,trust nobody(even ur blossom fweend who s based in lasgidi) and dont be too forward.

Beware of Area Boyz!!

I would advice the person to listen to Jimmy Jatts - Stylee (ft. 2face and Elajoe)

O gbodo rindi ju, Ogbodo suwegbe, Ogbodo mayaraju and Ogbodo mabe ibe scout (papa tosibe)

If u wan buy smtnhg no accept d 1st price dem tell u.
Wen walking b vry vigilant & start dem demo like a mad man wen u feel d street is empty

make sure u have a mobile phone with which u can be contacting a trusted friend and dont let a stranger know u are coming for the first time

If you lost no go police station oo, else dem go obtain you dry there, just ask someone to carry you go LTV or AIT.

1, first 3days in Lagos no commot first understand the street way you dey live first. no who be who
2. no think say you sharp pass that your cousin wey don dey Lagos tey tey go they run around behind ham ,  learn the life gradually
3. Don't talk to strangers - dont accept favors; dont do favors. And be vigilante always not paranoid
4. Better live in an estate  or an upper class environment
5. Eru-iku-phobia is the beginning of wisdom (the fear of tout)
6. When a small kid points gun at you, dont doubt or wait to confirm if its real. Just surrender your laptop and phones

always use the pedestrian bridge

find below my piece of advise
1. - It is advisable to take only bottled water.
- Journeys on foot (pedestrians) especially at night are strongly discouraged as there is a significant threat from petty and violent crimes.
- Scams (also known as 419) - confidence trick regularly target foreign visitors and expatriate resident in Nigeria. The scam varies in sophistication. Be careful with strangers that appears very friendly and offers assistance too willingly.
(Malaria prevention is better than its cure).
Don't carry too much cash on you
Avoid prositute they made end up using ur sp**m for RITUAL

Try and buy a bullet proof vest befre you land.

Set aside OWO CHampion [champion money] b4 u land 4 lagos
