I concur! As a Lagosian by origin and residence, I have realised that Lagosians always mind their biz. The traffic jam is also inevitable. Let me add some points:

(1) Most Yoruba Lagosians, especially conductors market women expect U to understand and speak Yoruba. Conductors in commercial buses speak Yoruba to passengers, unmindful of d fact that that not everybody speaks Yoruba.

(2) If U are not a Yoruba nor Hausa, Yoruba Lagosians call U "IBO". They don't want to know whether U are from South-south or Southeast. They also tag U an Hausa if U are from d North.

Lagos is Center Of All Frustration.
Even dogs want to leave this place.
My own advice is, if you want to come here, us private jet so that hold up will not catch you.

I dont think i can leave lagos for any other city. All my life has been in Lag.
Anything that will make me leave Lagos, na Yankee straight!!!!
Can't live in any dull place.

And who tell you other cities are dull?
Have you been to kano, onitsha, warri, yenagoa, Bini, PH, Aba etc?
If not you won't type this crap.

I don't see anything special in Lagos life, compare to what I had experienced in yenagoa and warri that made me change location with full speed grin

Nothing special in Lagos street life aside the uncontrollable traffic.

There is doubt, Lagos is beautiful and it is a place where you can meet successful people. It is a place where everyone will like to site their business. However, easily you can get sold out on some of the negative news about Lagos. But it doesn't mean everything is glooming, there is still some negative side of Lagos. Believe me, it is a place you will love to settle down for business. That is why am taking my time to write out some tips you must know before you travel down to Lagos. Below are the things you must know:

You must have a bearing
Trust me you will be frustrated for the first time visiting Lagos without knowing where you are going. You have to plan what you are going there for and which part of Lagos you are going. This should be the first thing on your agenda before travelling to Lagos.

You must know how to mind your business
Unlike other cities where foreigners and tourists usually look different and odd. But Lagosians hardly give so much attention to foreigners or visitors, this is because they are used to seeing them. Lagos is where people mind their business, don't expect them to start asking you questions about where you are coming from or you are going either. So, mind your business and stay focus on what brings you to Lagos.

Traffic Jam is inevitable
You should know that you are going to Lagos to face traffic jams. It will be stressful if you have a private car. A friend visited me with his car last year, he never knew what came over him to abandon his car for public transport.

Lagos nightlife is always fun
Don't be surprised when you can't even explain how you spent your January salary. You must have the self-discipline to overcome the pleasure that comes around you when you receive your salary.

Yellow cabs, unpainted cabs, stress, LASTMA, OPay bikes, BRT, ask questions. Danfo buses, traffic jams , beaches, entertainment, big markets, variety, truly the centre of excellence as per nigeria. Just visited Lagos and must say with all at all I found out I still love Lagos

You prolly lived in those ajegunle area.
Talking about Ikoyi golden gate area.
Kuramo Lodge Eco hotels Vi
Or is it Amadu bello way, silverbird gallery or Awolowo road Bacchus lounge. Or Kuramo Beach?

I still can not trade any of these for those dull places you mentioned. Ok? Deal with it!

If not for jobs and economic opportunities, I don't fancy Lagos life one bit. Anytime I'm leaving Lagos for my home city Akure, I feel like a heavy load lifted off my head. The traffic jam and noise in Lagos is too much.
