Hello, A friend of mine wants to relocate to Lagos for better job opportunities. He is making efforts to resign from his current job and move to Lagos. One of his friends have agreed to give him accomodations in surulere pending when he gets a job...
He has Bsc in Economics and three years experience in sales in a major FMCG although it is contract...
He is changing job because of he is tired of the contract job and wants to look for direct employment in Lagos...
He is active in LinkedIn and other platforms...
Please what is your advice for him and if you have any possible offers,Please drop.
Thanks...

Your friend is coming for a better job he hasn't secure yet. I pity him a little sha. That friend of his will soon turn to his enemy.
The only thing that can make you relocate to Lagos, is if you have your enployment letter with you. Coming to look for a job that's not available is like going on a sucide mission.

Story deceiving urself, there's nothing in lagos, Enugu and Onitsha is so much better than that time_wasting_slum.

Let him be applying for jobs in Lagos before coming.
You mentioned he is active on LinkedIn, he can apply for jobs in Lagos on LinkedIn and once he gets the job then move to Lagos.
I feel this is better, just my opinion.

No need to look for a job in Lagos, 60% of your earnings will go to transportation, feeding and accommodation with the removal of fuel subsidy.


Forget the hype , if na you wan come Lagos true true...enter business.

FMCG business, since he's already in that field.

Look for a busy area with foot traffic and make money.

Leave this job of a thing, it's not sustainable.

If your comfort zone is no longer comfortable, you have to move. Well, if he has some money (say 100k and above) for personal upkeep, he should take that bold step.

The important thing is that he has a place to stay while job-hunting. But then, there's hardly anyone in southern Nigeria who doesn't have or know someone in Lagos. That's why the state is overcrowded. So, he should tell his family and friends in Lagos that he's moving to Lagos, so that if his host fails him, he will have an alternative.

People come to Lagos and get jobs within a month. Now, considering that he is into sales - a job many people dread to pick up - he's probably getting a job in a matter of weeks. Good luck to him!

A bird at hand.....

He had better stayed back, lagos no be wetin you dey see o.

Plan yourself properly before making a move.

Relocation is not easy as you might think....

Exploring new opportunities is good early in life. I commend him for such move. I suggest that as soon a he lands in Lagos, to attend Pwan Group Real estate business training at Surulere. He may be favoured in the business that he may not need salary job, again. Let him reach me on oazimo@yahoo.com, if my suggestion is of interest.

OK ooo good luck to him, even if it you, good lock to you too...


Pls if you have 1k to spare, kindly check my signature...🙏⤵️⤵️

Get a job before coming to Lagos mbok.
A good percentage of people in Lagos have been looking for job for months if not years.

A bird at hand will always be worth more

If he's skilled, I think he got no prob in getting job in Lag. The only thing needed is his cost estimate, which is your expenditure and miscellaneous which may arise from change in environment and others being subtracted from the income. Stay back if it worth it.


Note~ Always calculate this before getting a job and also try to forecast the target income.

My penny

Try Abuja ph delta Uyo ogun Enugu they are land of opportunities too
