Lagos is the only state in Nigeria where people pay 300k for house rents for ordinary bungalows

Hmmm....try Abuja Municipal Central. You'd sweat to get a BQ for that.

Lagos is de last place I'd wish to leave, I go their just for visiting, I can't leave such a hostile life, can't leave in such a noisy environment, I can't leave in a place with so many unfriendly people, I grew up in Port Harcourt, my best state is Enugu state or Osun state, very quiet and peaceful, friendly people...Lagos is not for peaceful people

I believe it is what you give to Lagos, that Lagos will give back to you. Laziness will get you slums and hardworking will get you success. Which is also applicable in any part of the country just that Lagos might presents better opportunities in that regard.

And if you work harder, smarter and become more succesful then opportunities chase after you. Location then becomes irrelevant. You are empowered to choose where to live.

Maybe you have never been out of Lagos to any other cities
PH here, a decent bungalow is N350k

Unfortunately, jobs are limited in Lagos.
I will disagree, Lagos has almost unlimited jobs, the problem is, you may not like most of the jobs (either cos of pay or distance or condition of service).
There are states in Nigeria that you don't even see anything to do

another stupid post from her. True rent is expensive here but is it only in lagos? You are even talking of 300k is 300k your expensive? I stay at allen and there are bqs of 600k here and i know of lots of places in abuja and PH that are expensive too. So dont expose your ignorance here. Kid, 300k for a bungalow is not what you should be calling expensive.

Guy, there is no way you can exaggerate Lagos traffic, in fact no exaggeration can capture the traffic in Lagos.

dont mind her. Obviously she is still a girl. Or she does not know what a bungalow is. How can you say 300k is expensive for a bungalow? Ordinary flat is over a million naira here on allen where i stay

Only 1 and 3 is correct. Traffic, Area boys, crime and expensive rent are big wahala in Lagos and still is. Govt seems to be out of ideas to deal with these problems.

Traffic and high house rent seems irredeemable.

Smart in Lagos means to learn to dupe others and get away with it. If the criminal justice system were operational&effective, most Lagosians would be behind bars. Such a worthless hell...

that is not true. Smart can be honest. A friend of mine made 60 million within december for doing christmas hamper delivery for just 2 companies. Honest business and she was paid. Is it in osun state or eboni that they will pay you that much to deliver christmas hamper to their customers? Lagos is a land of opportunities. Better wake up
