Lagos is the worst place to live. I have lived here for 12 years now.

Aside corporate offices and opportunities which are now nonexistent, life here is hard, brutish and unworthy.

I have not recorded any good material achievement here since I graduated.

Many people are suffering and pretending here.

Securing a good paying graduate job here is extremely difficult.

See the attached photo

lmao, i saw this on Twitter.. laugh wan kill me.
How you wan take pay rent on 25k, na transportation money be that sef, how you wan take flex without checking your acc balance with tears in your eye, when you wan marry, when you wan drive car, when you build house, when you wan buy sharp clothe.

If you are a fresh graduate thinking that when you come to Lagos, everything go soft, you will become a millionaire in 5 years, you go drive Benz, you go carry woman, it's not possible my brother with your meagre income. Don't even think about it. If you want something close to Lagos with low cost of living...you can try Ibadan.

After nysc, go gift your mama your certificate and thank her very much...pack ur bag enter east go learn trade, keep your head low learn all the secrets of the particular business wey you desire...you really do not need capital to start up...u fit just dey do middle man work until your capital solid before you branch out .the world is a global village now..from onitsha u fit do waybill go anywhere for naija...learn how to use social media (Facebook, Facebook groups, nairaland, twitter, Instagram) very well build contacts..you go just enter Lagos spend 3 days fall back go base...in 3 years, you will become a millionaire no cap.

Please, make we look towards learning trade or skill...all this 50k job no fit give us the lifestyle wey we deserve for this present day naija now oooooo....when I dey primary 3, Dem say we be the leaders of tomorrow...I say no wahala...i don 26 now I never achieve 1kobo...my cousin we enter c.town (Canada) buy car within 2 months...some people don stay this Lagos for 20 years na only pencil light Dem achieve and Dem go call am success. I remember my social studies teacher dey mention Lai Mohammed for my ear for 2003...na 2020 be dis...Baba still dey gallant cause Dem no wan give us chance.

Make una use brain ooooo if money no dey to Japa...make Uno come Lagos dey enrich one old monkey for Banana island.

A word is enough for the wise.

Beedude:
I actually hate Lagos life. Too stressful and sometimes hard to break even due to the high cost of living.
I have resided in all S/W state for a minimum of 1yr.
I was in Ibadan last year and ordered a taxi, he charged me 800 for a trip u can compare with Ikorodu to Ikeja. Madam was still trying to bargain, i just smiled and gave him 1k. He was very happy.
My plan is to hustle in Lag for the next 5yrs, expand my business tentacles to Ibadan or Ogun and relocate immediately.

If u aren't careful in Lag, u will end up being a tenant at the age of 50

Bros, you dey reason well. I'm in my 20's and I've lived in Lagos all my life. So I can relate as I mirrored my parents lives.

Dem no even get land for mowe..one idiot go come think say he go build house for Lagos doing 9to5 work....I laugh in covid 19 birus.

eni4real:
I hail those living in Lagos!!

There are many beautiful babes in Lagos tho!!

Op , you should add that to the Advantages!!

Quite a number of them are prostitutes on code, that's what they won't tell you. Even those that have full time jobs do runs as side hustle on weekends.

Plus they have a boring routine...from work to church to house...before you know it, Dem don 30 with no man in sight. Then the aggrieved feminist tendencies spring up in them.

No work life balance

Beedude:
Heard Ikorodu to Oshodi was 1k last week friday due to BRT strike. Tfare around Lag atimes is enough for inter state journey. Abi how much is car to Abeokuta, Ijebu ode and sagamu?
There is a popular saying that Lagos money stays in Lagos.
If u are earning less than 200k per month in Lagos, it will be so hard to achieve anything tangible

Beedude, God bless you for this comment. Na wetin people no understand be that..you cannot start a family in Lagos and live a comfortable life.

To rent a sharp 2bd na like 500k upwards...how many lagosians dey earn 150k a month if we are being honest ?

Na suffer you go suffer month in month out.

School fees fit send you go back village, note that school fees na 3x a year. Now imagine feeding one child, uniform, books, school bus, lesson...how much u want save...family people still dey bell you for phone say grandma don swallow scissors and she needs money for surgery...na only business men and woman wey dey see daily income of 10 - 20k dey enjoy Lagos. If you be salary earner, na sufferhead mode you dey.

you are an amazing woman, God bless you abundantly.

I will call you next week.

Cheers !!

chukwugoziegi:

Idiot

my2chains:
My dream is just to be a big time rich niggar farmer!

Fulani herdsmen won't let you break bread in peace bro.

There is nothing like true love in a Nigerian woman's dictionary. The day you loose your job / stop earning...she takes the next flight.

Hypergamy is the name of the game, that's just how things work over here.

If you want to get married, at least have a job / side hustle...make she sef get her own cause naija no funny one bit.

People say 'money isn't everything' and I tell them to have lots of it before saying such nonsense.

chukwugoziegi:
50k for the Freezer.

No deal, thanks.

nonny400:
Bro what's up? Hope all is fine, this one you're selling almost everything.

Movement is improvement boss.

No time to check time.

lol, if she is willing to go to a culinary school or learn via YouTube, no problem.

But if she no wan learn, she go lead morning and night devotion for her papa house.

Life no hard !

DRPAIT123:
In saner climes, all these should have been learnt to perfection by men before 18 not 30.
At 30, you should have been well past this level, things like having a stable source of income, marriage(if you want), planning for your kids, mastering a good relationship with your family, having a car or a house should be the accomplishments, or the target before 30, or at least around 30.
IMO

No be lie brother, na only for naija you go see 30 years old man dey stay with parents and still dey chop mummy thank you due to economic factors.

After school, na to drop certificate go learn trade if you wan make am for naija. No cap !!

Life is good. I think we should nairalanders should focus more on SME's. They're the backbone of the nation's economy.

You can also add POS business in a short time.

I'm sure you'd be making good profit daily. Cheers !!
