i came to Lagos since 2018, and my advice to newcomers is to avoid Computer Village at all cost, I repeat avoid it. 2. You can get to any destination in lagos from Oshodi, inshort if you miss road, just find a way to Oshodi 3. Lagos has many slums and ghettos, be careful when moving in those areas 4. Try and learn basic yoruba it will help a lot 5. For the men- Leave women alone, most ladies are hustlers, cost of womanizing is expensive especially if you are living in the island like me. 6. Dont insult Tinubu or Apc in an open place... to avoid wahala I can add more but let me stop here 152 Likes 8 Shares |

I don't like Lagos for anything. Overcrowded, smelling gutters, agberos, poor road networks. The only Pro is the opportunities it presents. And maybe the diversity in culture and people. Maybe thr highbrow areas are better, but my experience in the island wasn't that great. 48 Likes 5 Shares |

You see that number 2. 99% of people who greet you from behind are greeting you to beg for money. What to do is once you turn back to look at them and their face isn't familiar, just face front and continue walking. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

No 6, I can relate with that. I remember when I went to write entrance exam in Uniben years back and still came back to Lagos the same day. I got to Lagos around 12 midnight, got to Cele bus stop and everywhere was dark and deserted. I had no choice than to trek the lonely road to Ago Palace. Cele was very rugged that time. Man gat to think smart quick quick. I removed my shirt and placed it on my shoulder and raised on leg of my trousers. I was walking like werey on the road without fear. Some guys even shine torch on my face, saw me and just looked away after seeing my physical appearance. They must have thought I’m homeless. That was how I walked all the way to my house o around 1am for night. 200 Likes 19 Shares |

1. Don't fight with a Yoruba person even if u are right. They will scream at the top of their voices so their fellow Yoruba can come and support them. Be firm but don't fight. 2. 31 Likes 3 Shares |
