airsaylongcome: Yeah, I do something precisely like that for a living but trust me it requires a lot of intelligence because i work with white people. The brain power part gives me headaches a lot. Finding a lady i really like and appreciate to calm me down at all times and see to what i eat while I work is the most important of the 3 main reasons I want to relocate out of Lagos. The kind of tall and light skinned women i love are only after money and worthless sex here. 1 Like 1 Share |

DonPADRO: So I don't know that working with white folks ultimately means one needs intelligence. I work with some really super intelligent Americans, Argentinian, Latvians and Ukrainians. I'm the only African on the team and while I won't outrightly say I am intelligent, I am a massive problem solver. But I understand that working with these Caucasians requires a certain kind of "smart". I pray you can get a location outside of Lagos that makes you happy. I like Lagos because it always keeps me challenged. Looking for the next certification and knowledge to keep abreast in my field. Outside of Lagos, there's a very huge laid back mentality that can easily make one ease of on learning and upskilling. Without trying to sound classist or elitist, do you live on the island or mainland? Also Is your online job one that requires you to work during Nigerian work hours (Europe or Middle East) or do you work US timezones? 4 Likes |

pocohantas: Lol! Many Lagosians don't know they are miles ahead of their contemporaries up country. How may people in Asaba, Benin, Uyo, Kano or Kaduna do remote jobs? How many are up to dat with the latest trends in their field? Lagos is stressful but so is London, New York and Los Angeles. Many people shouting "Come to so and so location" in Nigeria, will grab an opportunity to go live and work in London. Agreed London is cleaner, but it has got chaotic traffic, tiny living spaces and way more stressful than Lagos. 1 Like |

airsaylongcome: I always laugh when they say Lagos is overrated. Agreed it has its downsides, but Lagos is not overrated. I have stayed in some of the cities they claim can rival Lagos and I see no comparison. See them saying “good internet”, if they see internet, them go talk? Abi they think it is Glo for watching TikTok? Wetin even concern remote worker with outside? Wetin concern agbero with overload abeg? 4 Likes |

airsaylongcome: No I don't live on the Island. I have a house of my own abut half an hour's drive from Festac further down the Badagry expressway. My leaving Lagos is not for good because of the house. I might just return once i find what i am looking for. Lagos offers some things no other state offers and that's the truth. Honestly, I don't envy your job. White people can be nice yet so troublesome and full of themselves. I work mostly nights to coincide with US time zone. 1 Like |

pocohantas: The "good internet" stuff is the one that pisses me off the most. Many people think "good internet" means ability to stream YouTube and/or Netflix. Same internet that you will hit a a small 1GB download and "good internet" will turn to "at least it's downloading, just wait small". Same 1GB download that will take only a few minutes in Lag you go dey "wait small e dey download". Lagos is no heaven and has a lot of downsides. But abeg comparing the downsides with its up sides is a complete mismatch. And like you said, wetin concern remote worker with outside? If I dey go outside na during off-peak hours. Nothing concern me with waking up at 4am to dodge traffic, or getting stuck in 5pm rush hour traffic. If I get stuck in any of those, it's because I want to not that I have no choice. 10am to 2pm and I'm done with commuting in Lagos. This same remote job if they weren't in Lagos would they have gotten it? Lagos is stressful. But I like the city with all its warts and pimples. 2 Likes 1 Share |

opalu:. Lagosians look scary nowadays. To ask someone on the street for direction is almost impossible with the they way pple look as if they want to attack you. Even if you eventually summon.courage, 80% of guys will not answer you. It's only the older folks that respond to questions or greetings nowadays. Guys with dreadlocks and cross bags everywhere. 1 Like 1 Share |

DonPADRO: See let me tell you. I am from Imo state and I schooled in Enugu state. Enugu is a lovely city (so long as you remain in Enugu metropolis like okpara avenue, new haven, independent layout, presidential layout) aside these places I mentioned others are trenches. When I was in Enugu power supply was topnotch with 24hrs light. I kid you not, this was between 2011 to 2016. But one prevalent problem in Enugu is their terrible water situation. They don't have water at all even till now. Get ready to push wheelbarrow everyday and sometimes it can get worse that the place you buy water from may not have and you will have to go some days without bathing OR if you have strength to climb hills and go-to their gutter they call stream from faraway distance to fetch water. One bad side about Enugu people is their hatred towards Imolites (not all but above 60% share same view). I don't know the bad blood between them and Imo people but they definitely dislike Imo people. They have this popular saying that if you see a snake and an Imo person, kill the Imo person first before the snake. They believe Imo guys are cunning and Imo ladies control their husbands OR leave husband house (don't know where they got such narrative from). Some families will even disown their son or daughter for marrying someone from Imo. This is not hearsay, this is a personal experience, if you know an Imolite based in Enugu ask him about what I am talking about. They prefer to date Imo guys, use Imo girls but will run to marry their people. I had a relationship with two girls I was hoping to marry. They told me that I am a calm, caring and loving guy but they can only date me and cannot marry me because I am from Imo and their pple will disown them. I ended the relationship cos I see no reason dating who I cannot marry. So I will advise if you are hoping to marry someone from Enugu, be careful, she might just chop and waste your time or even if she accepts her family may frustrate your marriage... Though Enugu and Ndi 042 are beautiful and decent, if you are lucky to find a good one from a family that doesn't discriminate good for you, else look for other ladies in the state cos there are so many beautiful ladies in 042, avoid those Nsukka, Ubolo, Ezeagu, Enugu Ezike girls they are local, desperate and diabolic I think the best sets of people in Enugu are Udi and Awgu maybe Nkanu and Aninri 2 Likes |

Since your work is mainly based online and steady power is required, I will advise you to move in to Omoku. It's atown in Rivers State. Close to PH. There, steady power is guaranteed and it's free. I was in your shoe till I moved out of same Lagos to the area in 2021. Till date, I never regretted it To know more reach me at jire4real@gmail.com. |
