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.
Trium is right - Lagos just like Mumbai is a financial district.

Whether the city's infrastructure is worth it or not does not matter - it is a financial district.

Lagos is decayed? In what sense, please? If Lagos is decayed, then other states are moribund! It seems you over-rate Nigeria's infrastructural developments o

So banks are not the highest paying private jobs in Lagos huh
Not really. Other financial firms pay higher than banks; then there are oil companies, tech firms, global consulting firms and the likes.

This part is very very very correct. They manipulate the men with title-calling (odogwu) and Igbo man being proud and loud, the hailing of Odogwu swells his head and he empties his pocket for the woman. The Igbo woman's arrogance and over- petting is why theu have highest ratio of feminism movements and house-help beating in Nigeria. South South women and South West and Middle Belt Christians may want money, but they don't know how to skill-fully and craft-ly understand you to extract money from you.

Igbo women are too witty and crafty. You have to up your street-sense mode to better them in their game sense. If she leaves you for being "stingy", at least she left you with your money with you. If you spend on her and upgrade her with flashes of beauty skincare, clothing, schooling, the Igbo woman will become an upgrade, attract men better than you and still leave you for those men.
Apt! The men are to blame though. Igbo men cannot be the only group of Nigerian men who like their ego to be massaged. He just likes to spend money recklessly on women. They do the same in other African countries, then suddenly claim those women lOvE them. grin No woman hates a man who spends recklessly on her.

Oga ,
Come to onitsha and see, if not for insecurity in Orsu LGA.
Yorubas are regarded as being the best in tailoring in these areas unlike in Aba.
They charge less and they deliver on time due to their numbers.
I saw one Yoruba tailor that have been in my village for decades some months back here in lag, omo d guy shock die .
What a small world. The insecurity in my village have really scattered everything for us.
He was a boss with over 15 employees but now is managing one small container shop as a result of insecurity in the East.
When I state that our elites should do better, dem go say I hate Nigeria. See how insecurity has ruined a hard working man's life for good! How does he re-arrange his life at a much older age?

Terrible!

Lagos traffic is very stressful!


Traffic after Cross-Over Service from Lekki to Sangotedo was hell! Some of us spent 4 hours on the same road, from 2am - 6am.


3 of my cousins have relocated from Lagos to Calabar and Ebonyi state, because of traffic.
Thank you... I have actually spent 6 hours in Lagos traffic. It wasn't funny at all.

Lagos is a melting point, those deceiving themselves and want to cause tribal war are the losers in between. And this has been so for long and not today.
Lagos is the only state you will see volume of each tribes converging, even people from other Yoruba speaking states. No other state have such configuration, aside Abuja or probably Kano.
Bro kaduna is on the same level with Abuja when it comes to tribal mixture. In kaduna you will see almost every Nigerian tribe you can think of.

My neighbors are Yoruba, Igbo, edo, and igala. U see?

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...
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting

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.

Exactly they do the same in South Africa too. Using money to follow women.

The South African men are now complaining because their women are now convinced with money, instead of with genuine love. Love bought with money doesn't last and is not genuine love. Because once you withdraw the money giving, game over. And if you choose to sustain it and she meets higher spender, she abandons you.

After all, all you taught her was to be money focused in men.

So about 500,000 yorubas live in Anambra and there hasn't been any time the Obi of Onitsha threatened them with "drowning in River Niger" and no one has carried placards protesting with chants of #YorubamustLeaveAnambra

I thought it was only Igbos who are flooded in population in Lagos.

This one hasn't been to Northern Nigeria.

The cost of living including house rent is generally lower in the north than in the south.
which part of north? Mehn I've been to the north, the general cost of living there is not lower than Onitsha , may be when they talk about cost of living you people only think about the cost of tomatoes and onions and forget about many other essential goods and services.

Broke ass nigur, go and make money the only language women understand it's money. True love is an illusion, that's why as a man you should first focused on making money before chasing women to avoid heart break, Igbo men understand this , it's only you and the SIMP you quoted are looking for true love without money.

This write up just reminds me about the importance of travelling, you get a different perspective thats more realistic than what someone tells you because you witness it yourself. Good one. Be careful how you move about the town especially at night, let them not use you for money ritual. Good thing you re not the clubbing type.

That number seven cought my attention of self esteem and respect for individuals believe even though igbos can be very nasty at times but then when you meet an well exposed well breed cultured person you will definitely respect their values..... forget those lunatic on the road sides every tribes has it own gangster

One thing I respect so much about this tribe is their reverence to God unlike our northern brothers who will kill in a slightest provocation.... Though very religious but then" need to build their human capital in religious tolerance

Igbos are most self determined creatures of all human race I have ever encountered... irregardless of the bad ones among... igbos are Born self oriented.
