Re: Why Did You Leave Lagos? by andyblinks05(op): 8:43pm On Apr 01, 2022
I was so interested in going to Lagos ( I'm from north). Immediately after graduation I made plans for Lagos but I was faced with many challenges which was money and accommodation. I was able to gather small money for transport but accommodation was still an issue so I had to find a job that's comes with accommodation. So I talk with my friend who hooked me up with a security company and I was assured a job.



Story continues.................

I arrived Lagos and I stayed in ajegunle where they use to park bikes. Then the next morning I went to eleko. I did all necessary documentation and I started work immediately. The work as a security guard was hectic and there was no time to explore other options. ( work days is mon-sun 7am-10pm with only one day off in a week and salary was 25k)

Greener and Lagos should not be in the same sentence.
Such a trashy place wrecked further by years of ThiefNuibu's looting and IGR raising without commensurate services, facilities, utilities etc.
Although the other 35 states are not much better on the lootocrats metre.

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

Can you design a professional flyer with your smartphone??

Paul can.

Design of a flyer costs $8.3 on average. If you can design just 3 flyers daily, you'd be making $750 (over N400,000) monthly.

This is 100% achievable, even a dummy can learn it... And guess what? You can achieve this with JUST your smartphone!

That's not all! I will also teach you how to design:

• Logos
• Book covers
• Album covers
• Create Whiteboard animations and
• Professional Photo Manipulation.

These are high income skills that can feed you for life!

That's not all still! I will also teach you how to:

• Create 3D logos using mock ups.
• Create Professional eBooks with your smartphone.
• Create Professional marketing videos for companies.
Plus a complete gift pack of Graphics Design eBooks worth N19,000.

AND ONE MORE THING!

By the end of the training, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion, which will increase your credentials and give you a new opportunity to secure that amazing job!

For all you stand to gain, this training can be easily priced at 50,000 naira.

However, I have slashed it to 10,000 naira. But, the first 20 people will pay 4,999 naira.

The 21st person will pay 7,500 naira.

When is the class starting?

Saturday, 9th of April 2022.

To reach me, kindly send me a message on WhatsApp via the number below.

Any guarantees?

Yeah, if you don't make more than 10 times of your money with this skill, I will refund you your money with a written apology.

How to get started?

Send me a message on WhatsApp ,
via the number below for account details.

PS.: This is not a Canva design class.

PS. 2: Would you rather exchange 4,999 naira for over 270,000 naira or will you use it to flex today?

Send me a message now.

Most young graduates got their first life changing job offers in Lagos though. Those who leave, usually leave for better offers outside the country.

Re: Why Did You Leave Lagos? by englishmart(m): 1:05pm On Apr 05, 2022
Everything about Lagos is extortionate. Maybe Tinubu and his fellow thieves think Lagos is Europe. Europe with no good water.
