“9. When you want to buy soft drinks, Buy soft drinks from people hawking in the traffic. It is believed that the drinks taste sweeter than the ones bought from people in shops😅. Just a belief!!”

Many Nigerians are sending themselves to an early grave or appointment with cancer consuming drinks in plastic bottles that are stored or sold in the sun.

Reason: most of these drinks are stored in the open sun where the chemicals from the plastics are heated and leech into the drink.

If you have noticed a different taste in your Fanta or coke, that is why. If it has been baked in the sun long enough to have altered the taste then micro plastics have also contaminated the drink.

YeyeGbami:
If you can't survive in Lagos, find your way back to your papa village. Shey na by force ni?

Ogun ni ogun afise.

Asiri1991:

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

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.

ObongNkakad:
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.

*YOU WANT TO SURVIVE IN LAGOS: 17 Things you must not do* .

Preamble: Lagos is a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities, with people from various parts of Nigeria and other countries residing in the city. The city has a vibrant music and art scene, and its streets are filled with colorful markets and bustling shops. The city is also home to several historic sites and landmarks, including the National Museum Lagos, Lagos Island, and the Slave Trade Monument.

Lagos is a bustling city located in the southwestern region of Nigeria, in West Africa. With a population of over 20 million people, it is the most populous city on the African continent and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. Lagos is known for its vibrant energy, rich cultural heritage, and dynamic economy.

But: Despite its many positive attributes, Lagos faces several challenges, including traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, and high levels of poverty. However, the city's resilience and entrepreneurial spirit have enabled it to thrive and grow, making it one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in Africa.

The way Nigerians adapt to blatantly abnormal situations, eventually accepting them as normal, should be a research topic in a well-functioning society. It's truly perplexing.

yemmit90:


Lagos is no longer overcrowded like before subsidy removal. The road are a little bit scanty now. Don't mind the op, nobody will snatch your phone inside vehicle except you're inside holdup with alot of crowd.
Though, some of what he wrote up there are true but majority of them are over exaggerated. I am not permanently live in Lagos, but I went there often as I live very close.

alizma:
In addition to number 13, if person take you unaware for a handshake( it happened at times and you just realised your hand is already in his hand b4 it down on you that you are shaking a total stranger). At a time your phone is not in your hand, hold his hand tight and use the other hand to confirm and secure your phone from whichever side of your pocket you keep it, otherwise, sope oti lo, as he moves away from you, your phone moves with him.

If you have noticed a different taste in your Fanta or coke, that is why, unfortunately i find it is harder to detect in water. If it has been baked in the sun long enough to have altered the taste then micro plastics have also contaminated the drink.

This also applies to drinks sold in markets, if you them displaying cartons of drinks out in the sun, dont buy from them.

olasunkanmi338:
so, slowpoke like u hitherto, dwelling in biafaran stinks notion that Lagos is 'no man's land" without any authentic proves. Ur leaders in the 1940s tried all these shenanigans to acquire a commercial city in the western Nigeria,peopled by indigenous Yorubas stock. My question is who are the rulers of Lagos state? Is the people from biafaran lands or else where? I know someone bombastic element would mention bini that, had cultural affinities with Lagos island and some of these binis had their roots in Ile ife which is cradle of Yorubas. So, mr. foolish how do you mean that Lagos is 'no man's land. Try to learn Lagos history very well
