The stressful life of Lagos was second to none. Waking up by 4am so as to beat the usual Lagos traffic. My 9-5 job on the mainland was killing me. I barely had time for myself, my side hustle sef died instantly. The money was averagely good for a young bachelor but no, I wasn't gonna get old before my time.
I talked to my boss, got transferred to another state.

Each block you buy when you buy a land has to be paid for again to the Omoniles. One can't buy a land with ease. If you don't touch the land for about 6-12months just consider it gone, especially if you aren't from the SW.
In summary, Lagos is not the life meant for people like me.

Omo that's the truth. I love the place like mad. Relaxation and hospitality is superb in Calabar and Akwa Ibom (SS). Anything food is spot on, babes, roads, hospital, hotels and local chops is always on point.

As the topic says.... Why did you leave Lagos state when you travel there for greener pasture.

I will comment mine below

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

I was raised in lagos. Lagos was good during my youth years. Then the express was filled with cars on high speed till brt came and caused current traffic. Lagos was really cool. Then I left to complete my HND in delta. At first I didn't like the idea of migration, I was always boasting about lagos. When I returned during fashola 2nd tenure I spotted lots of differences. Traffic was hell, dirt all over and the air didn't seem fresh like it used to.
Its was still better then. Now e don worse. Lastma, holdup, abgero(owo da). I hate driving in lagos one day I drove from sheraton to computer Village with a flat tyre. Fear no let me part change am.
Cost of rent is another dimension. I currently live in delta, my rent is 180k for a self contain with lots of cool features (large parking space, fully fenced, water heater, mighty wardrobe and is located in a cool civilised area. Just imagine Maryland with modern houses. If its lagos for a house like that will cost around 360 to 500k.

Any time I visit lagos I always can't wait to leave cuz its a hell hole. Life is complex and expensive. I find it hard to believe its the same lagos u grw up. Person dey lag dey earn pass me but the wahala of Lagos made me look like i earn more than he does. And the traffic is worse. U can't have a flat tyre and have peace of mind. Where I am if u have a flat tyre there's always some passer by thats willing to assist but for lagos just park to receive call (owo da) boys will storm u with threats. Lagos is fuucked

I thought Lagos was "the center of excellence " ??

frowland:


I came to Lagos with only a bag at my back 12 years ago from Imo state after selling off my house properties (Chairs, TV etc) and a small toyota I owned.

Actually, I just decided one day to relocate to Lagos after all the struggles in the east and I have never been to Lagos before or know anyone except that I had an aunt that reside is a remote location. The plan was to start life afresh with the money I raised from the sales. It was an audacious endeavor becaue if I fail I am finished but.... The rest they say is history.

I know many Futo colleagues that came to Lagos after school and are earning big and making it as well.

Thanks Fashola, Ambode and Lagosians!

If you fail to give honor to whomever honor is due.... you know the rest

BKayy:
So you people have finally agreed that a lot of people are trooping out of Lagos.

Kuriosmynd:

About 50% Nigerians live in village that's over 100million NIGERIAn.
