Having lived all my young to mid adult life in Lagos and then being transferred by my firm to it's Anambra branch , I have now lived here for over two years... These are the differences in life style I noticed

1. Business are late to open in the morning in Anambra compared to Lagos

2. There very few or non existent road side mechanics, most mechanics are in a street inside a compound and fenced unlike Lagos

3. There is still high sense of morality and believe in God in this part of Nigeria by majority of of the people bar the student areas where culturi and believes are imported from various part of Nigeria unlike Lagos

4. There is low level of northern population throughout the state unlike Lagos

5. Most nysc corpers are southwestern and igbos

6. Inside the public transport a new entrant greets the old sittight ones... Unlike Lagos

7. In Anambra, keke driver or bike rider would give u the money to go look for change in cases of no change btw him and customer while he waits for ur return , reverse is the case in Lagos

8. In Anambra , both driver and persongers will reject money to the floor in cases of incorrect disputed price of fare... All allowing ur conscience judge u... In Lagos it results to fight...

9. In Anambra, house rents are very high just like Lagos.. but transport is cheap

10. In Anambra there is a few major fuel marketers mostly filled with unknown names

11. U hardly see anyone criticize a preist of a catholic or Anglican church...

12. In Anambra, student decision of department to follow in senior secondary Begins from SS2 rather than in SS1 in Lagos

13. The senior secondary skls in Anambra are divided to just science or art, while in Lagos it is science, commercial and art.

14. Girls in Anambra are strongly money incited...they judge u by how much u show off..maybe same with Lagos sha

15. Banks are the highest paying private jobs in Anambra unlike Lagos where unknown companies pay huge surprise wages.

16. In Anambra the predominant jobs of the yorubas is tailoring, they are better trusted by the clients than indigenous tailors...

Wow. Very interesting.

Northerner are many in Owerri

Most imo indigenes live in Anambra.

G0Oodharddick:
Inasmuch as the above write up are entirely true, the language barrier is same.

In Lagos, you can't speak English because you'll get a response in Yoruba. It is logical to find northerners more in Lagos than in anambra. The SE is predominantly Igbo speaking region. Walk up to anyone and speak Igbo and you'll get a response back in igbo.

1. Initially onitsha has lots of agberos but today Lagos is leading in terms of agberos!
2. In SE as a whole, Catholic and Anglican seems to be the dominate churches there and hence must not be criticize, unlike in Lagos or SW.
3. In anambra, most people are not interested in white collar jobs, or getting government jobs they prefer doing business instead unlike in Lagos
4. In anambra and SE generally, their women are highly Manipulative and strictly in the lookout for money, they are extremely money conscious 💰 they call their SIMP men "odogwu" , while in Lagos and SW as a whole, their women are also in the lookout for money too, but too dull to manipulate a man.

Lol at bolded.

How about their nightlife?

Any info about oloshos dem and their patrons?

How do the runs girls run their parole and how dem dey operate in terms of getting attention of men and public dresses and signs?

(17) I noticed people do Sit-at-home on Mondays in Anambra following instructions from already caged touts unlike in Lagos where people follow orders from the real leader they voted for

Banks are the highest paying private jobs in Anambra unlike Lagos where unknown companies pay huge surprise wages.

Lagos is one of the top financial destinations in the world. It will be naive to say unknown companies pay huge surprise wages. I don't do all those fights they on NL BTW, just stating facts.

Comparing Lagos - the Centre of Excellence - with other parts of the country is neither here nor there.



This is so because, unlike other parts of Nigeria, Lagos is a highly dynamic city where its most cosmopolitan nature is a blend of the good, the bad and the very ugly.



It's for this reason, perhaps, it's often referred to as "a no man's land" !



The city has a way of turning a most docile, calm and sympathetic person into a most uncaring and indifferent fiend.



This is not their making but that of the dog-eat-dog atmosphere where all man is for himself and God for us all.




Lagos is simply in a world of its own!




However, Eko Oni Baje o!

I served in Anambra, I agree with all your submissions. You will hardly see ibo men as secondary school teachers. They prefer to make money through business

Just 3 years is not enough to come to some of the conclusions here except you have lived around the state.

Where in Anambra? Anambra is a state and I'm sure there are differences between bigger places like Onitsha and Awka, not to talk of the smaller towns like Nzam, Oko, Awka-Etiti, Obosi etc.

Served there too.

Angelfrost:
In summary...!

Life is on a faster lane in Lagos than practically anywhere else in the country.

If you have lived and worked in the heart of Lagos, then relocate to Abuja, Imo, Delta, Kano, etc, you will be shocked at how even your heart rate slows down... A huge burden is practically lifted off your shoulders.

Even your aging process slows down remarkably.

Many Lagosians don't realize it, but they aren't truly LIVING... Just existing! Some have never breathed clean air in years.

True there,I used to wonder why people love to rush to Lagos..
The life is not for me.
Everyone in a hurry,with stress levels off the chart..

13. The senior secondary skls in Anambra are divided to just science or art, while in Lagos it is science, commercial and art.

What of students those going for courses like Accounting, Banking & Finance, Business Administration, etc.? Will they do Art in secondary school and cover subjects like Accounting and Commerce?

And yet the majority of the men are still doing better than you with an extra day..

If it is not science, they are all "arts".

Most of them don't realize it because their brains have become programmed to accept it as normal...! Especially the ones born and raised there.

That's why if or when they are transferred to other states, they see a rude reawakening that they were not truly living.

Well, that's how it is all over the world... Someone living in New York, and moves to Dakota or Wyoming will feel the exact same way.

It is the same for any financial district in the world.
New York
London
Hong Kong
Lagos
Toronto


If you want a stress free life, don't live in any financial city. Expensive cost of living and fast paced life.

A financial district is usually a central area in a city where financial services firms such as banks, insurance companies, and other related finance corporations have their headquarters offices. In major cities, financial districts often host skyscrapers and other buildings of architectural importance and are called financial centres; such major centres also include important financial utilities such as stock exchanges and the offices of the main financial regulatory authorities.

Number 1 is correct. Sometimes, i used to wonder if their morning starts by 11am
Number 16 is quite true too


Just read through. You couldnt have said it better.

As for the population of Northerners in Anambra, I guess it says more about the region than the Northerners themselves. Aside Deltans(linked by state boundaries), its very very very hard to see non-Igbos in Anambra(excluding Onitsha). You could just walk into anywhere and speak igbo and most times, 100% of those there are Igbos

Why compare them tho?

Even Abuja is a bit laid back in terms of business timing compared to Lagos.

Drivers in Onitsha are Crazy.

Onitsha sleeps early compared to Lagos 9pm could be like 2am over there....nightlife is very rare same as Benin compared to Owerri or asaba.

There are also lots of Yoruba mechanics in Onitsha.

the people you call northerners in Lagos are illegal immigrants from Niger Republic they are not northerners from northern Nigeria..

Number 1 is true for other Nigerian cities but Port Harcourt is the worst. Businesses open extremely late

agadez007:
Isn’t it the Same thing everywhere in Nigeria,even in Almighty Lagos you can speak English in some streets in Mushin,Ikorodu,Fadeyi e.t.c and Many people there can not reply you back in English

That's not what he means,90% of places in Lagos you can easily find an Igbo person also other tribes.

No 8..... Passengers not Persongers.
I guess you're Yoruba.

All u said not exactly true , depending on the part of Anambra you reside,but then you tried.

Sure you enjoy the traditional bitterleaf soup with pounded yam.

Enjoy your stay.

Bede2u:
Lol, of course it's entirely weird to have more northerners in Lagos than in Anambra. BTW, how many northerners live in Ibadan compared to Lagos?

I doubt you have been to Ibadan....there is a very huge northern population there,I would say on same scale has igbos

MrIcredible:

stop comparing Lagos with those cities. There's nothing in Lagos in term of infrastructure to be compared with those world class cities.. Lagos is just over hyped urban slum. But average black man likes suffer ing and smiling. You need to travel around Nigeria to know how decayed Lagos is.

So banks are not the highest paying private jobs in Lagos
