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...

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.

(The Economist)

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.

The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.

“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

Offpoint1:
The number 1 is applicable to whole state in Nigeria, Lagos is the only state you can buy all food items in the market by 4am. And workers are already on the road to work by 5am.

Before Lagos, I left home for work by 8:45 and got to work in 10 minutes. Lagos is different ball game, even though the work distance is the same, it took me 2 hours (that's if I leave home before 6am)


Lagos conductor made me lapped a lady with a voluminous azz and I alighted with the hardest erection known to mankind. It wasn't my fault, but biology and whatever brand of perfume she wore. I knew she felt it, I wish we have the abilities to control our serpent salutation, but this guy is triggered by visuals and touches.

press9jatv:
the difference is clear abeg. You can compare Anambra State to Osun State

tropaz:


I can hardly read what you wrote up there... Infact, I almost had migraine forcing myself to put your words together.... I want to believe you wrote them in a hurry without proper checks.

anonimi:
So banks are not the highest paying private jobs in Lagos

EmperorCaesar:
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?

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.

callthefred:
The same Anambra that I bought fanta just 3 days ago and still in the hospital now as a result of food poisoning? To imagine that I even bought that fanta at Amalex restaurant in Igbariam. I have tweeted nafdac but no response. I'm just recuperating right now. Please don't mention Anambra and God fearing is same sentence ever again.

bigpicture001:
Elite Yoruba ppl don't live here until three years ago when they turned the chancellor of UNIZIK to a Yoruba king... He made sure lots of yorubas are employed as lecturers and non teaching staffs.... Yet their population is still megre compare to the numerous articians which dots the nook and crannies of Anambra....

Most are tailors with little migrant construction workers usually located at construction sites in mansions everywhere

Noneroone:
it's good to say the area you are in Anambra so you don't sound ridiculous when you make certain claims. Someone who lives in Onitsha will find it ridiculous when you say they don't open for business on time.

Yoruba tailors are BETTER trusted by the clients? of course that is very untrue. That arguably use to be the case in the late 90s and early 2000s owing to fashion trends when kaftan used to be the dominant native wear. fashion/designers have tripled since 2010. While it may be the main occupation of Yorubas in Anambra, they are still a small minority compared to the so called indigenes (a lot of them are from Enugu, Ebonyi etc)
I think building sites also have significant number of Yorubas and Togolese.

Transport in Anambra can't be called cheap o except that of Lagos is up the roofs.

No they are not.... There re some multinationals in lag dat pay too high a wage... Have u also forgotten that Mobil has it's national HQ in lag..?

..........unlike Lagos where unknown companies pay huge surprise wages.

lagonovo:
The population of Igbos in Station Road, Oshogbo alone is way more than all the Yorubas in Anambra State combined! Yes, elite Yorubas may not reach 30 in Anambra. One Yoruba doctor at Onitsha Cantonment was quite popular back then as host of Yoruba elite's social events but he moved abroad. Can't recall his name, long time ago.

udemzyudex:
Bro relax, onitsha is not the only place in Anambra, he is talking about Anambra generally not onitsha.

All this oversabi people sef.
