Then why are you giving advice?

What makes the grass greener on the other side is the fact that I've never been on the other side.

SARSCoV2:



That is true! But if you make it on a transfer from Lagos to other states, no way you wont feel that sanity. I am from Lagos too, so I know what I am talking about. If you have stayed long in Lagos and happen to just go resume work in a place like Bayelsa, Delta, Ondo and those likes, you will know Lagos is a land of the mad people.

100k job in ibadan or 200k job in lagos VI

Idrismusty97:
You don't know Lagos and where this VI is. He can't even get a decent apartment with 3 months of the salary (600k), maybe one room in the island for 700k that's turns to swimming pool during the raining season or he goes to the mainland and rent for at least 300-400k. Transmuting 3rd mainland bridge with terrible traffic everyday, wakeup 4am and get back home 10pm only to repeat the same thing the next day. Not to talk of food, he dare not buy food in VI, one plate may go for 2-5k. How much remain for the salary? When he could just have peace of mind in Ibadan, 1 month salary is enough for a decent accomodation with less cost of living.

That's not life, you are living for the weekend and shortening your lifespan. Tell me this work wouldn't replace you if something bad happens to you God forbid. I pray you find something better so you know you're suffering, sometimes you wouldn't know how much you have suffered untill you taste goodness.

Pootle:


see bro not everybody in life will make it or get an easy job...we all cant be Elon Musk, some people work in a more tedious environment than me and some people do easier job than yours.

Idrismusty97:
That's why i am praying for you to find something better. So you will know that's not normal or "hustling". God will see us all through.

Nigeria economy will make you see abnormal things as normal …

How can someone wake up 3:30 am everyday and go to sleep 12am and argue that it’s normal ? The lifespan of such fellow no go pass 45 years .


People Dey suffer for Lagos o . And funnily enough , his income might not worth the stress self, he fit Dey earn below a million monthly .




I just pray To God to make things easy for everyone

SARSCoV2:


Their are still sanity in some places.

In Enugu, Bayelsa, Ondo, Delta and those likes, you can wake up 7:30 and make it to work 8:30. The quality of house you will get for your budget will be worth it. Noise level is reduced. Indigenes are more friendly. Cost of living is far better. Driving culture is better. I can continue...

I can authoritatively tell you, if you worked in Lagos all your life and just make it to resume in some states, you might not want to come back to Lagos. When you try to quantify the life style of your collogues in that region with yourself, you will realize the gap is far wide.

Sified:

Chai, I don already give up jare

adubam:
As a youth your major focus as per your career should be:

1. The environment where your career is mostly needed
2. The environment where you have speedy career progression
3. The environment where you can meet and blend with other professionals easily
4. The environment where you can easily switch from one organisation to a better organisation .
5. Lastly - Where the environment is good and will be better in the shorter time.

From All these, Lagos is your best bet.

Segun2222:
we can say all these online but we all know the reality offline

verygudbadguy:

You think prayer doesn’t work? Don’t portray yourself in bad light by using this kind of demeaning word. It points to bad upbringing.

I am not a religious person but I know for a fact that there is Grace of God. How do you explain people who are striving but have not been lucky enough to attain their desired heights. *If God doesn’t build the city, the workers laboureth in vain*.

Viruses:
Take the one in VI because of prospects. Within a few years you can get another one of 3, 4 or even 500k; not sure if that would be the case in Ibadan. But if the one in Ibadan is a structured company like bank where career growth is certain, so need to come face the lagos stress, just take that.

Note: you don't have to stay in VI, you can stay in another locality where accommodation is quite affordable like Ikorodu or Ajah axis.

RedEnergy:
Excluding agricultural produce, probably 90% of all commodity items being sold in Ibadan come from Lagos / Ogun State, whether containerized or otherwise.

So, except for maybe foodstuff, costs of items in Oyo are not particularly cheaper than Lagos, and even more expensive with some goods because traders factor in the logistics costs of getting their goods to places like Ibadan from Ogun or Lagos.

Accomodation? Well, same as everywhere, there are cheap areas, moderate and expensive areas, whether in Lagos or Ibadan, so it depends on your choice.

Only aspect I think Oyo edges over Lagos is lesser intrastate traffic and cheaper food or plentier for same price.

100K in Ibadan Vs 200K in VI is a no-brainer for any intelligent person. 200K in this present economy is better than 100k anywhere in Nigeria, don't let anyone exaggerate rubbish for you.

Take the N200k VI job. If you are the frugal + disciplined type, you can take a cheap 200k per annum single apartment on the mainland, limit your monthly expenses to 50k max per month wake up 4:30am Mon - Fri, stay till 10pm before heading home (off peak traffic time) and repeat the cycle for 1 year and you will join the millionaires club after 1 year.

Gamesmart:


How do you explain after decades of all your grandparents' prayers, your parents' prayers, your prayers and your entire networks' prayers, Nigeria is still a shithole?

Why your useless God never build our cities after una prayers?

Abi your argument is that una no get sense to know what to pray to una God for?
