I stay at Awoyaya and I know where Ketu is. If If you are out by 5am, you will get a bus going to Obalende at #200. From Obalende to Ketu is #150. That is #350 in the morning. In the evening while coming, from Ketu to Obalende is #150. You can never get a straight bus from Obalende to Awoyaya. So, Obalende to Ajah is #200 and Ajah to Awoyaya is #150 (for car) and #100 for bus (these exclude bike fares). So,

Your transportation will be 1000 per day (excluding feeding)

1000 x 5 day = 5000
5000 x 4 weeks = 20000

So, you will have 30000 left for other things like food, clothes, etc.

I will suggest you take it and be on the look out for better options.

@QsFemi
The arrangement will be extremely discomforting, but not undoable though if you've got the mind.
Transport to and fro with light feeding will likely cost you close to 40k
You will also meet with MAD vehicular traffic along Lekki-Ajah Road on your return daily. This will wear out most people, adding up stress levels and causing strain on human relations and work output. Trust me it's a big deal.
Ketu however has a lot of affordable one-room accommodations (Face-me-I-face-you). Alapere is adjacent Ketu (across Ikorodu Road) and there abounds these one-room spaces, cheaper supposedly.
If you explore this, your transport will be bike fares only, journey time circa 30mins.
You may give yourself a target to upgrade to flat in a year or two.
You're already on track.
Congrats on your job bro.
Merry Christmas!

@op, you will be driving against traffic most of the time, which will not only make your fare cheaper but less stressful. The problem is the distance and where exactly in ketu the job is located.Its okay, take the job, you will surely learn how to cope after the first few months . Good luck.

If it's to choose between 50k and idleness, irrespective of the challenges surrounding the 50k and that of the insult attached to idleness, bro! I won't even think twice before accepting the offer. So be wise! bro! cuss you really need to avoid idleness by all means legally possible. Merry X-mass.

I seriously doubt that.

Its pretty hard though..I stay at ogombo which is closer to ajah than the ibeju you mentioned..Im managing a 50k job at HP @ Spar(not even up to the main shoprite) and I spend #500 daily..Thats about 12k from the salary gone.Feeding during lunch break gulps 5-6k.

You still have to add feeding for breakfast & dinner etc..
Eventually it is more respectable to work even if at the end its only 15k that you get (after expenses) than remaining idle and taking insults from people

Good evening nairalanders. This is my first post on this platform and I enjoined you all to overlook my simplicity. I need your views on the scenario I am about to relate. I have a degree like many other peeps out there, completed nysc july this year and have hitherto been jobless. Well, Like a twist of fate, I got a job just yesterday that will be paying me 50k in Lag. I based in Akure and the job is in Ketu, Lagos. My friend that I can squat with temporarily lives at awoyaya, Ibeju-Lekki lga. Can I survive? What do you think peeps?

Find someone to stay with around ketu instead and it will be okay
