FamilyRe: I'm New In Lagos, I Need Good Friends by essenceplus: 9:33am On May 06, 2019
Zoharariel:
Dear TR1212,

The council of the irunmoles welcome you to the city of aquatic splendour. grin

And since you're in your early 30's looking to settling down & I'm in my late 30's, who knows, I could be the king Solomon of Ijebu that you've been seeking, and you - my Queen of Sheba; ofcourse, that is after I must have vetted & made sure every organ in your body are still working properly particularly your womb. (sorry, that was me trolling) grin cheesy grin

Now, adjusting to the lifestyle & system in Lagos can be a very demanding task, but there are some misconceptions by people who are visiting for the first time or those who have just relocated.

Lagos - no doubt, can be a very noisy place, overcrowded, & plagued with traffic, but you can be sure that there is more to Lagos than this.

The first thing you should do since you've just relocated to Lagos is to set aside the negative stories you have heard about Lagos, and focus on the fact that those who are coping in Lagos do not have some extraordinary powers.

So, below are 5 Do’s and 5 Don’ts that can act as a guide to your acclimatizing in Lagos.


The Do's


1.) Be Courteous: Be respectful and calm; learn to say sorry if there is a little disagreement.

2.) Be Smart: There are great landmarks, and outstanding structures everywhere in Lagos. It’s okay to be amazed by what you see; but staring for too long may make you seem lost and uncertain, hence highlighting you as a viable prey.

3.) Be Bold: Never look frightened even when the bus conductors shout and roar, just keep still without fidgeting, most of their threats are empty. Gently make your points clear, state your claim accurately, and many others will join your cause and probably fight your fight; that’s the Lagos spirit.

4.) Be Flexible: Don’t get all worked up with thoughts of Lagos as a challenging terrain. Remember that not everyone in Lagos is out to snatch your belongings like you may have heard from fables.

5.) Be Modest: You shoudn't dress provocatively - and, if you must be flamboyant and extravagant in your dressing, then you must try to avoid using public buses. Get a taxi to drive you around town, that way you stand less chance of having your purse snatched, pocket picked or being robbed.


The Don'ts


1.) Don’t Give Your Trust easily: That someone is looking all smart and affluently clad in a suit or some awesome regalia does not mean you can go on and totally trust the person. Infact, that is the trademark of the Yahoo-Yahoo & the Yahoo-Plus-Plus grin cheesy grin

2.) Don’t Loiter About At Night: Unless you have a valid ID card and have become really familiar with the area, otherwise you might sleep in a police cell.

3.) Don’t Be Greedy: Beware of people who will approach you saying: “me come from Cameroon to get dollar to change”. Truth be told, they are scam artists.

4.) Don't Become A P.rostitute: Well, more than half of all the women in Lagos are p.rostitutes but you shouldn't fret when you see them going to church every sunday morning to proclaim the name of Yahweh. grin

You must be very careful not to join this bad & unholy gang. Lastly, you should know I am not writing this epistle for fun or to impress anybody. I have simply written it for you so that in less than 6months, I can be able to plant my seed in your womb & eat the fruit of labour. grin cheesy grin cheesy grin
Haba more than half prostitutes. Take it easy oh...

Visit a magistrate Court near you. The lady's around or any area you see them patronising their trade saying do your affidavit here. Go to them they'll handle it for you up till the newspaper publishing aspect

All I can say to everyone is please stop indulging in crime and putting your family in grief.
I pray its a small issue and your brother is released soon
This is very inhumane. Please stop this attitude you hear. Your words can disorganize your life. Humans and the sanctimonious judgmental hypocrisy. Don't bother replying. You're annoying..
