Let your uncle put you in his line of business, if it is a legit business.
Coming to Lagos to just hustle for factory job is not easy. The factory job may be located in a place far from where you are living
Transportation is a major expenses for most Lagosian. Also, be sure that the job is legit. Lots of scammers are on the prowl, looking for "magas" to chop. Non existing jobs are written on walls, on roads and pasted in market places, with the amount to be paid stated, asking one to call a certain number for the job - just beware. Lagos could be unforgiven to the newbies and uninformed
Let your uncle you and guide you through. This is a culture among the Igbos that is being fast eroded. Uncles are no more behaving like uncle to their nephews and nieces. It was not like that before. Uncles were looked up to, especially the well -to-do and highly educated. The well-to-do uncle would take his brother's children and trained them in his trade and settle them, thus, sustaining the progress of the entire "umunna" kindred. Those in paid employment would help their nephews and nieces that have finished services, relocated to Lagos, with employment tips and vacancies. It is no more like that these days. Uncles sees their nephews as threat, especially, if their own children are not doing well. Everything now is competition in my place. The family bond and unity that once held sway, have been broken by the "enemy" and the entire kindred has disintegrated.

Did u say least..?

I guess he meant max, Lagos is tough.

Learn a skill or trading. Your SSCE cert cannot do much for you in Lagos and the 100k job is most likely fake. Feel free to post only the address here and we would confirm.

You are just 25.
Learn a skill. By 30 you would be better placed. Don't wait until then to start whining. ✌️

MrFourSHIRTS:
Please stay in the East, just today on front page one was caught trying to steal trying to steal car battery.
We have more than enough unwelcome developers and drug engineers already.
Keep Lagos safe

He is impostor. Not writing from southeast.

Antoeni:
Only Igbos & South South Are Truly Surviving Lagos, Tinubu Terrible Hard Life Has Dealt With The Yorubas , Ask Gadus

you be werey who be that person

Come to Lagos you will be successful but when you make it don't bad mouth Lagos

which skill you get brr than to scam innocent 😇 people on nairaland

This advice is very discouraging.
With this mindset, one can hardly make it in life.

BrosG007:
Is it orile agege?

If that is your relocation plan, my brother, you go park go within 2weeks. Area is tough. Lagos is tough without someone to help. And trust me, if that your uncle is married, you won't find it easy. Woman don't like visitors especially from the husband side.

And about factory work, bro you fit do am? Morning and night. No overtime. Trekking. You go lean my brother. If be say you are coming to rent your own apartment, and like say you fit learn barbing. But if not, for now stay your lane. No rush life

Goodadvice01:


I saw a job advert on the job/vacancy section for factory work 7 to 5 (Monday to Saturday) for 100k. I feel it's okay for me. I wish I was in Lagos, I'd have taken it honestly

Do not let them deceive you. The person who d that job offer will take it himself or give it to his family member if it is genuine.

And again,what's the status of your uncle,is he married,have children? What does he do? Have you informed him of your coming?
Be careful inorder not to find yourself in the streets. It happened to some of us years ago,it was tough but God was merciful.
If you can get a place to stay first off,you can survive by doing some odd jobs here and there while finding some footing.

I thought everyone in the east are billionaires

Myrepublic:
Op go lag. Your destiny helper might be there waiting for you . Try it out,if it doesn't work ,then you try other option. At least you will have the experience,if not for anything else

No destiny helper in the entire Igboland.

If we say the East is a barren land and burial ground of dreams, Una go dey fight.

SamuraiXXX:


If you have discussed with your uncle and he gives you permission to stay in his house then I see no reason for further delay.

Come to Lagos because there are better opportunities here than in the east.

One word of advise - we don't tolerate any rubbish about IPOB here so leave everything you know about IPOB in the east before you relocate to Lagos!

What you mean

Firebox123:
Least payment for ssce is 50k and that if you see factory job

my company is paying #70,400 for the cassual workers.

OmoEko4Real:
Pls NO.

We already have too many people in Lagos. We are working on a plan to drive them back to wherever they came from.

Over population is not development.
Thanks

To drive them to where. Why not drive yourself back first?

Enemy of progress.

Mtchweee 😔

zelnababa:

company name and location

Cj4charles:
The way some people talk about this Lagos as if they cannot make it anywhere else... as long as you are determined, you can make it anywhere... I send someone in Lagos money daily for transportation and upkeep from the same East you feel you can't make it from

He is not real. Impostor.

OmoEko4Real:

If we check now, you might not be an indigene of Lagos state.

deji17:

Wonder why they can't build their states and provide jobs for themselves. Ingrates.

Are you talking to yourself?

Are you original Lagos protegy?

Mtchweee 😔

Kewekubosineh:

Mtchweee 😔

Oh, so you know Lagos is progress and anyone who wants you out of Lagos is your enemy. You will see shege.

Don't worry. By the time it starts, they won't tell you before you disappear from Lagos

Goodadvice01:


Yes.. it should be. The one you can enter bus going to volks or alaba. There used to be a police station near the junction.

My uncle's used to live with his children. Most are married and the others in school. His wife base abroad.. we used to be close before she left.

Can I learn a very high paying skill in Lagos? What of high paying job?

I need your help please. I want to change location. I want to make move please

That Orile is the main Orile,not the Orile Agege.
Orile Agege is at Agege,a different area entirely and full of yorubas. Main Orile is mostly somehow more of Igbos.
this,in whatever you do,do not forget your education

lol

Warrior99:
Please DON'T COME, especially if you're one of those who hate the Indigenous Lagosians AKA Yorubas.

Don't come, YOU WILL NOT PROSPER.

Indigenous Lagosians behave themselves well. Except those from neighbouring Yoruba states. These are torncoat Yorubas and misbehaves a lot.

Original Yoruba protegy behaves well. Like GRV. Not the noisy immigrants from other Yoruba states.

Goodadvice01:
Good morning people. I noticed that majority of s on this site live in Lagos.

Most of my childhood friends have traveled to Lagos.

That aside, I want to relocate to Lagos. I have an uncle that used to stay in orile (2018).

I can camp in his house for the main time.

If I come to Lagos, can I get a job that can pay me like 100k and above every month. I have my waec and neco. I just turned 25.

I feel if I change environment, things will begin to go well for me.. and I heard there are lots of jobs in Lagos.

Here in the east, no work or company. Only Keke bus business that's thriving

Please can I make it in Lagos? I need suggestions. This is a life changing decision please

After abusing the Yorubas and calling them names, you still have the effrontry to come to Lagos, a yoruba state, for greener pastures? No way.

Appletek:


No destiny helper in the entire Igboland.

If we say the East is a barren land and burial ground of dreams, Una go dey fight.

If you visit the SE just once, you will despise Lagos. No jokes.
Lagos stinks!

Spybradd:

Orile Agege is at Agege,a different area entirely and full of yorubas. Main Orile is mostly somehow more of Igbos.
this,in whatever you do,do not forget your education

Even the main Orile is full of Yoruba and other tribes....no be only Yoruba and igbo de Lagos abeg make Una rest ...as well as in coker iganmu side and sari iganmu side ...Yoruba dominates there with other tribes

As for the Orile agege I don't know there but I know that there is Orile in agege but ave never been there and also there is Orile in oshodi again ...

Wisewriter:
I heard it is the most dirtiest state and Abakaliki is even mor cleaner than Lagos Ajegunle put together

But to be frank, I don't see anything that will take me outside SOUTH EAST or Anything that will make me to invest outside SOUTHEAST.
I feel like it will be a waste of money in the future investing in Lagos because of frequent demolition and hate against our tribe

You are right 👏

Kewekubosineh:
What you mean

I still sacked one idiot working for me cos he was ing Ipob nonsense.
Asked him to get out and go Kanu in the East. Got another person from Edo to replace him.

If you think SW of today is same as SW of 5 years ago, you are mistaken. You guys will see.

redcliff:


Come i will show you where our family house is in the east and, i will also show you the ones in lagos too, omo onile oshi

Na lie you dey talk show me prove if you no go buy that land again.
Lol 😂😆

Myrrhis:

Lagos stinks!

I've been to all the Eastern States apart from Ebonyi.

The public bus stop in Ikeja, lagos is better than all airports in the entire South East.

cars used by policemen in lagos to chase pickpockets and gala hawkers are good enough to seduce the wife of a local government chairman in the East.

In lagos, we use brand new Actross Mercedes-Benz trucks to carry waste. They use old tricycles as ambulances in the East. Our garbage in lagos State are more valuable than human lives in the East.

Tell me why Igbos won't run out of igboland every January as if there's war going on there.

The moment you start seeking people's opinions, you will be derailed, my man take that leap of faith that has been pricking your heart and go and shine. Success is yours, but please stay away from crime when you get to Lagos and stay close to Christ if you are a Christian I will even suggest a Living Faith Church for you, locate any of their satellite parishes and be active. God be with you.

You could sack him.

Ipob is real. KANU is real. Fighting for freedom.

You have set the temperate. Any Yoruba that s the Drug czar and certificate forger will be shown the Exit door. We won't tolerate them any longer.

You think it's only your tribe that hates?

Mtchweee 😔
