Career - 90% of Unilag graduates every year are planning to go for their masters abroad. Thats the idea dat the environment puts into u, and u think its d norm. Outside Lagos, 90% of the graduates are thinking about how to get a good job immediately after graduation. Thats an example of how growing up in Lagos, and attending Unilag can help push up ur career target.

KarmaMod:

Since when is being obsessed with getting "masters" aboard as opposed to getting a job IN THEIR COUNTRY a good thing?

BlackMamba:

Were you really that ignorant when you first went to secondary school?  

BlackMamba:

Hopefully, you're now aware of the real reason why some Nigerians are able to do summer holidays abroad and live affluently Lagos.

Someone said something about Accents. Well, i got got news for y'all lagosians and this is very true cos i went to a high school that had equal national spread (equal number studenst every year per state in Nigeria) and of course a lot of them lived or grew up in Lagos whether they were from there or not. What am i talking about Well , the swapping of the "h" consonant with vowels. A good example is a very good friend of mine who pronounces 'our house' as 'Hour ouse'. You want more, listen to Tony tetuila carefully. You hear stuff like 'heverybody say yes oooo!!'And trust me, a lot of you aint conscious of it but its true (but pls no misconceptions , i am not generalising oo). someone tell me if this makes any sense. I tender apologies in advance incase anyone is offended ok?

Still, I think the points server made are not pros for Lagos. Server, you're basically saying it's a good thing to always want to "keep up with the Jones'?" It's good to want to do well in life and all that, but striving for something so you can say yours is better than the next person, I'm not sure about.

So she just carried on with her Feerigi, Meeeliki talk, eh?

Tell me did she really hunderstand you when you spoke Henglish  or did you have Hexplain yourself Heverytime?

The good thing is in taking your education a step higher, it isn't called obsession. It is a way you can become more specialized and learned in a field, and perform ur job better than you would have after graduation from University.

Lagos is to Nigeria what New York is to America, Paris is to France, Milan is to Italy, and London is to the United Kingdom.

The truth is, Lagos (and Abuja) are far more developed, sophisticated, and refined than the rest of the country , by a VERY wide margin, so while having never been to Lagos does not make you uncivilized, it does make you glaringly "unaware".

And to everyone that thinks Lagos is not a big deal, I've got news for you. It is a big deal. It is the largest city in Nigeria, with Abuja it is one of our most modern, and with Abuja (again) it is the face we show the world. Abuja and Lagos are Nigeria's global cities, so I advise you to stop by when you get the chance. It's your country, why not explore it?

otikpoko:

I have never been to lagos

honeric01:

Lagos is where you meet virtually different kind of people from Nigeria and the rest of the world, so that prepares you towards the world at large, Lagos is where you can learn about the rest of Nigeria without living the state through divers ethnic groups you find here.

So what's so special about a city where every nook and cranny oozes a terrible stench, drainage systems are filled with dirty water and all sorts of rubbish, people squat by the road side and defeacate into the gutters, passengers jump out of moving vehicles like hooligans, oh!! please spare me all this lagos craze. To me its a very dirty and lawless city. I NO FIT SHOUT!!!

KarmaMod:

spikedcylinder:

Really? What has changed from the things kritikul listed?

Ibadan is the largest city in West Africa(and the dirtiest too).
