life in Lagos is very expensive don't be deceived by this post.
Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where people pay 300k for house rents for ordinary bungalows

Yes, cost of living in Lagos is high, but that's all house rent. Food, clothing and everything else are cheaper than many other places in Nigeria.

Lagos? Crazy place to live. You sleep and walk always on your toes.

My friends keep saying why dont i go to lagos and look for a job. And i told em lagos isnt exactly how they think it is. I like that statement that jobs are limited unless u know your way.

IMASTEX:
Okay, I personally just don't like Lagos as a place of residence.

same here.

Bollocks and malarkey! Some Lagosians will say anything to feel good about gidi. Lagos is like a drug, spend 6 months outside Lagos and your eyes will open.

seguno2:
Traffic jam is not exaggerated.
Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode should have done better in the last 20 years.
Jakande had ferries and started a metro before Buhari cancelled it in 1984 only to commission a bus stop after 34 years. We must have cursed ourselves to allow such people rule ruin us for so long.
Instead of building on Jakande’s legacy, we are struggling to start from scratch.

And it's the same person they thought would be a savior and bring us out of the dudgeon not knowing that he would only sink us further,if he really liked good good things then y did he stop the metro rail project and sundries,if not Lagos would ve been on a different level from what we re seeing now infrastructure wise.


Once upon a time a minister of northern extraction said some years back that he doesn't just understand what the mad rush for education in the southern part of Nigeria was all about and even went ahead to proffer a ridiculous solution which was stopping southerners from going to school for some years so that the northerners can catch up,this also is the reason why they don't want regionalism bxos the difference will be too clear,they rather have us all bogged down by this excuse of a democracy because they know that most won't give their best.They re in mortal fear of the southern part overtaking or doing better than them in any facet of life..

ednut1:

Lagos has a diverse community of different people and idea,s maybe thats why some ignorant people believe its no man,s land.lagos is d most lively city in Nigeria but can be very stressful cos of traffic and all sorts of uniformed freaks ready to harass you on the road in the name of laws.but if u want to be street smart u definitely have to reside in lagos for sometime then u can be street smart anywhere in the world

Meloshi:

OP, what about the smell of Lagos? hehehe

nero2face:
Lagos is de last place I'd wish to lIve, I go their just for visiting, I can't live such a hostile life, can't live in such a noisy environment, I can't live in a place with so many unfriendly people, I grew up in Port Harcourt, my best state is Enugu state or Osun state, very quiet and peaceful, friendly people...Lagos is not for peaceful people

You are very much on point. Indeed lagos got no chill at all. I can't also live in such a noisy and disorderly environment, only go there once in a while for visitation.

One thing that strikes me most about the city is the number of people and vehicles out already as early as 4a.m. The city is already buzzing with full day activities so early that u feel its already afternoon. Nobody even has time to look at u, talkless of caring about u. U are totally lost as a first timer and u just feel like quickly returning to wherever u came from, that's how alienated u feel in lagos. Typical characteristics of almost all cosmopolitan cities tho.

Lagos have this heavy metallic, pungent smell that i hate.

Narldon:



If you make Eye Contact with a Hawker in Lagos,




You have automatically signed a Purchase Transaction.

This is so true.

...lmao.. ..you are very right!!every body is just too busy there

Lagos o Lagos , once the capital of Lagos abandoned by the Federal Government to be left in the hands of some Yoruba Demons. Light is still a very big problem, some areas do not see electricity for weeks e.g Ladipo. Traffic is very bad except on Sunday or Saturday. if you walk outside with your IPhone X in some areas consider yourself a potential targets to be mugged. Food is not cheap , water can be a problem to get. If you are broke, then forget trying to date Lagos Babes.

Do you think that is why Buhari said that we are uneducated and lazy?
As if he was reiterating what Femi Adesina said earlier that we are intellectually lazy?
If I know that people will vote for me even when I am maltreating them and being a complete failure on all my campaign promises, why won’t I insult, abuse and call them useless names[/quote
His daughter Zahra Buhari just added another insult... Calling Nigerians senseless

Pepo who think Lagos is expensive should visit Abuja, Port Harcourt, Warri, Calabar.

Pepo who think Lagos is rough, rugged,not peaceful, and hard to survive in, should visit Benin, Warri, Port Harcourt

Pepo who think Lagos is too busy n noiseful should visit Onitsha, Aba

Pepo who think Lagos pepo are the sharpest, should visit any south south city

Pepo who think Lagos is fine n very fun, should visit Calabar, Uyo

if a bungalow is 300k, then I must relocate to Lagos, cos in port Harcourt, bungalows is 500k and above

sazycul:

As in, even my aunt living in Warri, had to search tirelessly before saw a flat for 40,000 a month

IsaAbubakar:
Oba of Lagos is just a useless worthless scumbag idiotic vagabond tout

MALAM with Lagos issue for head.

I agree with the no:1 point but honestly Lagos is not a place to live, the stress in Lagos alone can give someone high bp and makes one get old on time. opportunities are for those that got the connections.is hard getting a job in Lagos no matter how small unless one use a job agent who gives useless and stupid jobs for 20k salary and at d end of d month one will be left with nothing. the money one makes in Lagos is spent in Lagos. is kinda hard saving money cos of d cost of living ranging from high cost of rents food.without connection here in Lagos one can't get a good job even with 1st class unless God say it's ur time. employers in Lagos are wicked and heartless especially those in mainlands and some in island

Due to rapid urbanization and population growth, the West African city Lagos, has been ranked as the fastest-growing city overall in the 2017–2030 timeline.
Lagos is home to over 20 millions people and its the fastest and most populated city in Africa.
By the next twelve years, Lagos will house 9% of the global population, contribute 15% of the world's GDP and take up about 3% of global land mass.

This is a compilation of drone shot in the vibrant city.
