There’s no city in Nigeria and indeed Africa like Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria. A city that
boats of a population of about 20 million people and good number of that population is in the hustling
bracket, working hard in ways they deem fit to make ends meet. Having stayed in Lagos for some
years now, here are some categories of women I have seen.

Yes..... Contunu.

yea,keep it coming
stay cool...

1. The Extremely Career and Religion Minded
There are a lot of extremely career and religion minded women in Lagos. The Lagos corporate life is
driven by this set women. If you work in a big Tech or IT company, banks and advertising
companies, you must come across a lot of these women. They are always serious all the time. They
dress the way they want to be addressed. They are hardly involved in frivolities and not really
interested in gossip blogs. They favourites platforms are Linkedin.com , addicted2success.com and
many other career and personal development websites. They are always discussing deliverables,
timelines, and deadlines. Yes, that is how serious and career minded they can be. Their lives revolve
around their offices and churches or mosque and their children schools if they have kids. If Lagos is
made up of only these women, musicians and showbiz promoters would have long relocated to
another city. However, a lot of other businesses thrive in the city because of them. Ask people who
are in businesses such as laundry services, food, cleaning, nanny and many more and they will tell
you their businesses thrive because of these women.

Let's roll it outta mehn!

2. Full Time Housewives
What is Lagos without the burgeoning number of full time housewives? To start with, if there are no
housewives, the home fronts in the city will certainly suffer a lot of deprivation and care. The next
and very important point is that Lagos housewives are the sources of most stories, gist, rumour,
hearsay and gossips in the city. No gossip like Lagos housewives’gossip. They are very very good at
the business of gossiping, quarreling and fighting over almost everything. You can only argue this
point if you don’t stay in Lagos. Even if you stay in a compound with walls almost touching the sky,
you would have overheard some women quarreling or fighting.

Hmmmmmm

3. The Popular Market Women
You won’t understand the popularity and influence of this group of women until you visit and
perhaps reside in the city for some months. I hear the The ones that trade in spirit and textile in
Oshodi, Balogun, Yaba and other markets can comfortably employ university graduates and pay them
handsomely if they want without losing any sleep and no pun intended. The ones who sell by the
streets have so many names including Lifesavers. Some families in Lagos cannot imagine what life
will look like without them. Even some bachelors have survived and are still surviving the city because
of the magnanimity of some of these women who operate the almighty life saving scheme popularly
known as I Owe You(IOU).

4. The Sugar Mummies
If you haven’t encountered sugar mummies in Lagos, it must because of the following reasons;
a. you are literally confined to an area of Lagos where such women are non-existent and I doubt if
there are any part of Lagos where they cannot be found.
b. Or maybe you don’t look good enough or attractive enough for their liking.
Sugar mummies in Lagos are very powerful and very influential, pray that your husband or boyfriend
do not cross their paths.

5. Runs Women
These women are different from sugar mummies and commercial sex workers by the way they
operate their business. They are the bridge or middle men between the randy Lagos men and Call
girls; runs women ensure that the demand and supply of sex in the city remains a constant. There are
always girls either in their employ or contact who they connect to men for a fee.

6. Prostitutes or commercial sex workers
Agreed, commercial sex workers are in every part of the country. And if that is true, you can only
imagine the number of commercial sex workers in a city like Lagos. Imagine what the number will
look like in a city like Lagos

These women you've mentioned are not only found in Lagos.

7. Prophetess
There must be a reason behind the increasing number of prophetess in Lagos. Well, the one reason
that easily comes to mind is the fact that many Lagos residents are desperately looking for
breakthroughs in their finances, family, career or in their health. Hence, the birth of prayer or
breakthrough merchants in the city.
Are you in Lagos, what other group did I miss out?
