Hi my fellow Nlanders pls am coming to Lagos for the very first time in my life and am going there to hustle (business) pls what should I expect as a first timer, and how expensive is accommodation over there in Lagos.
Note: I've lived in a quiet and serin area all my life, just wondering if I can coup with Lagos madness and stress cuz I've heard alot of story about Lagos State.

there is nothing much about lagos. Just be smart

Expect to hear the language being spoken in open without a care.
Expect dirt and foul smells.
Expect to see crowds of people stop to watch random displays.
Sometimes I wonder if those who stop to watch have no destination in life.
Expect to see one, two or three charred human bodies on the roadside.
Jungle justice is a way of life for agberos there.
Lastly, expect that if you make the wrong turn you might see people of all ages openly defecating into gutters.

Don't use 500 naira to enter bus on a Monday morning
Or be ready to chase the bus

Don't come, stay where you are if you're not the hustling type do your business online right where you are. But there are good sides too, almost any business thrives here + opportunities boku

never come to lagos if.you dont have a family member who is okay and willing to accomodate you before u get your fit of the ground .lagos is tough and.full of hardship especially when u are helpless.


many embarked on same journey and.couldnt.go back.to where they came from after spending.years achieving nothing but just surviving. also if you have nothing.to offer like expertise their is no point.

no one can become a billionaire working.for others

First and foremost, I wish u a success filled experience as u plan to come to lagos. Secondly, lagos is a very densely populated environment hence the reason u find a wide range to characters there. As for the traffic, its everywhere in lagos. I could be worse in some areas. Mondays are always challenging traffic wise same as Friday evenings.
Since your relative or friend is ready to allow you some time before u put yourself together I will advice u find something doing immediately u arrive. With this, u will be able to save money.

Scrutinize before u maybe buy something like gadgets, accommodation as there are people out there that are ready to play a fast one on u..its very difficult to get justice in lagos..so prevention is better than cure.

As time goes on, u will need to get an accommodation for your self as this is a sine qua non for a young man in LAGOS..its good to lay your head and think after the daily vicissitudes of life and the aridity of lagos, it allows u plan your life.

Lastly, always present yourself for opportunities. Learn something, meet people ( but be watchful) work snark and pray.

Shalom

Depends oo

If you can't afford to live on the island part of Lagos..stay back in your state.
The mainland part is the real definition of shythole. Everyone is living suffering and smiling.
