LAGOS EHM

One thing to never do in Lagos
1. Don't relocate there.

Go there, do your business that brought you and return to your base.

Abuja is bae abeg

Don't follow Lagos big ass women
Otherwise, O.Y.O.
O ti lo

My advice to sim fubara, may the power that led you to power, guard you. Its a public office not a c.e.o office.

That number 15 ehn.. lol

Let me add;
number 18: if you are new in Lagos you must experience the "Welcome to Lagos" effect!
Number 19: Don't use Lagos agents when looking for accommodations, go to a registered estate firm instead.

Mine was number 1

Any house you rent change the locks immediately you move in

Ask questions before moving to any house

Don't tell strangers you are New in Town, strangers includes new neighbors or new co workers

Observe well

.. Add this to it; when you are outside you home/house/residence , forget decorum o. You will be gentle to the gentle but be tough and rough to the rough ones.

If you allow Shame hold you for Lagos, the streets go cheat you.

Once in Lagos, go learn how to talk at the top of your voice. ( Some call it shouting).

Lagos! 😆 😆 😆

Meant for the desperados that enter Lagos by night bus. Some of these mentality are strange.

It is an abomination not to get into traffic in Lagos.
Those living on the island, especially those who commuted from lekki towards chisco; how did your Tuesday evening go?

Rugged state.

IGBO developed LAGOS

In addition to number 13, if person take you unaware for a handshake( it happened at times and you just realised your hand is already in his hand b4 it down on you that you are shaking a total stranger). At a time your phone is not in your hand, hold his hand tight and use the other hand to confirm and secure your phone from whichever side of your pocket you keep it, otherwise, sope oti lo, as he moves away from you, your phone moves with him.

No 6, I can relate with that. I remember when I went to write entrance exam in Uniben years back and still came back to Lagos the same day. I got to Lagos around 12 midnight, got to Cele bus stop and everywhere was dark and deserted. I had no choice than to trek the lonely road to Ago Palace. Cele was very rugged that time. Man gat to think smart quick quick. I removed my shirt and placed it on my shoulder and raised on leg of my trousers. I was walking like werey on the road without fear. Some guys even shine torch on my face, saw me and just looked away after seeing my physical appearance. They must have thought I’m homeless. That was how I walked all the way to my house o around 1am for night.

All these list on top that yeye lagos wey shallow minded people full, last time I was there with my own orientation I was like king Solomon, I win arguments, fights, even my silence was golden, abegi...mumu people full there

My advice for non-lagosian staying in Lagos is this: go back to your state and go into agric and then sell the produce in Lagos I tell you' you will be millionaire in no time.

Dera1000:
i came to Lagos since 2018, and my advice to newcomers is to avoid Computer Village at all cost, I repeat avoid it.
2. You can get to any destination in lagos from Oshodi, inshort if you miss road, just find a way to Oshodi
3. Lagos has many slums and ghettos, be careful when moving in those areas
4. Try and learn basic yoruba it will help a lot
5. For the men- Leave women alone, most ladies are hustlers, cost of womanizing is expensive especially if you are living in the island like me.
6. Dont insult Tinubu or Apc in an open place... to avoid wahala
I can add more but let me stop here

Wetin do Village? E be like say dem sell fufu for u abi? Village wey I dey go almost every time. Na to strong face enter there ni o and don't patronize those street niggars. Dem go Show you street if you loose guard. Lolzzzzzzzzz.

When you go for shopping at a marketplace e.g Tejuosho,Ladipo, Madillas, Oshodi,Alaba , Avoid all those ibo boys most of them are thieves they dont have a business or shop.. they are there to add to your problem.. go directly to the shop where you want to buy..

Never take these list as a joke

Citizens of Lagos self by birth no Dey loose guard

The way Nigerians adapt to blatantly abnormal situations, eventually accepting them as normal, should be a research topic in a well-functioning society. It's truly perplexing.

confydoedowaye:
1. Don't fight with a Yoruba person even if u are right. They will scream at the top of their voices so their fellow Yoruba can come and support them. Be firm but don't fight.

2.

Very useless people that can't stand one on one and fight like a man

All na true bro

When you are in Lagos, Lagos is still far away

Do people still think of living in Lagos?

ANlOMA:
18. It is a no man's land and developed with resources of Nigeria since 1890:
So don't be afraid to look some madmen like the ones below in the eyes and tell them "Go back to Ekiti"

so, slowpoke like u hitherto, dwelling in biafaran stinks notion that Lagos is 'no man's land" without any authentic proves. Ur leaders in the 1940s tried all these shenanigans to acquire a commercial city in the western Nigeria,peopled by indigenous Yorubas stock. My question is who are the rulers of Lagos state? Is the people from biafaran lands or else where? I know someone bombastic element would mention bini that, had cultural affinities with Lagos island and some of these binis had their roots in Ile ife which is cradle of Yorubas. So, mr. foolish how do you mean that Lagos is 'no man's land. Try to learn Lagos history very well
