So nairalander that have relocated, Did you regret leaving Lagos for another state within Nigeria?

To those planning to leave, why do you want to leave Lagos?


I lived in Lagos. My bros still stays in cnb alakija . I grew up in kaduna ,Abuja, jos, gombe, bauchi, adamawa, I love the north so much. Whenever am in Lagos the stress,police,traffic , street boys and more that stress me. I just want to come back to Lagos. Cos the north had no problem good road,light, peace (forget what the media tells you ) we flexing more than you.. street car race , cheap food, good people. And peace of mind.. I do drive from abuja to bauchi. Just to go flex and come back in the morning.. if you leave Lagos with your Lagos sense, then you will conquer anywhere in the world. NOTE. I HAVE STAYED in other countries too oh.. so Lagos for me is a dump ground . I will only miss Lagos for the friends and shrine way we dey chill for night

Lagos is good for my church business so I can't leave. There are many working class people in Lagos compared to other states. so their tithes and offerings are usually massive.

I love Lagos.

This I have seen.

Other false prophets like you love Lagos too and I envy you people, keep cashing out fam cheesy

Left Lagos 2016 for ABEOKUTA

I have never regret the decision. Except probably for buying stuffs from Lagos island or oshodi. Now ABEOKUTA is gradually becoming a hub for commodities if you can navigate well. All my family are still in Lagos. Talk to them to relocate but none is willing

There’s nothing in Abeokuta jor.
And this is coming from someone who was born and raised in Abeokuta.

I recall leaving Lagos to Kano back in 2008 onto job parole...I read about the tremendous changes under Fashola led Lagos and looked ahead to a return. The more I heard below phrases in Kano, while trying to come to terms to a return to Lagos for fear of unknown such as "distant family", "job security" and self-development, the more I became hungrier to return to Lagos regardless of the chaotic nature.

Those phrases I often heard which were funny to me while settling to learn Hausa were: in brackets are d interpretation or d way it sounded to me in Yoruba. Kano was fun while it lasted.

1. Sai kin Yada ( translated to Se kin Yada in Yoruba)

2. Sai kin zoo ( Se kin so)

3. Sai ka zoo ( Se ka so)

4. Abokin su ( abokin su)

5. Abokin ka ( aboki too talk)

6. Sai ka Yi...( Se ka Yi)

7. Sai ka ji ( make we steal am in Yoruba)

8. Sai kin ji.



Kano was fun while it lasted...

When you leave lagos to reside in another state you will realise you have been living in hell being in lagos. I gained admission into OAU ile-ife in 2008 and since then I never returned to lagos other than just to visit my parents. I have lived in ilorin, Ibadan, and now back to ile-ife and I can tell you lagos is shit.

Your a liar, abakaliki is very expensive to live and house rent are very costly. Most of you castigating lagos are just doing so for political reason and most of you are Obi supporter. In fact leave so that we can have our lagos in peace without badmouthing.


calm down boss, yes the house rent is very costly, almost at par with lag rates but there’s is no denying the good roads, uninterrupted power supply and its smaller size. I be mushin boy normal normal.

He isn't wrong!

No other state or city in Nigeria has such a large population of suckers waiting to be taken.

I recognize that there are fake churches & false prophets out there, but the idea of giving to the church is something only devoted Christians can understand.

Some choose to spend their money on alcohol and drugs, some chose to spend theirs on prostitutes and runs girls, some chose to spend theirs on cars and some are willing to give theirs to the church.

Life na choice, do what you want with yours.
