I was at Transamadi Portharcourt when these young men approached me and started preaching about NeoLife,

I listened intently to them, they said a job was slavery, that it was a temporal solution to a long term problem.

They said Jobs means Just over broke

They were inspiring, they had sweet tongues and almost bought me over.

The point of the story is that, you will never be free working for somebody, Salary is a bribe to forget your own dream.

Even if you are paid a million naira it won't still solve your problems, once you make 100k, you will have 200k problems.

If you make 1 million you will have 2 million naira problem.

Your child cannot inherit your job,

create jobs rather than coming here to compare jobs

Working for one is not slavery...
Being an entrepreneur is your choice.
Oversabi sence you no get.

thats what I'm saying. you dont know Ibadan just talking senselessly . if you claim you know ibadan, you shoulf know that theres street light in Iwo road, olodo express, Ibadan ojoo express, challenge, bodija, ringroad and other places like that. with ibadan, there's never a dull moment. there is more traffic in Lagos and More opportunities, but Ibadan is a place to be as well
so stop saying crap and use your sense

senseless. you talked about street light and I told you areas with street light. now you are spewing another propaganda. you need sense pill because you are just senseless. all those things you listed doesn't change the fact that street lights are all over Ibadan

sinola:
Better stay in Lagos or else you want to waste your whole youthful age in that low life Ibadan.
In lagos, you can still see side hussles to compliment to what you have unlike in that village.
Don't solely rely on salary cos no one becomes successful rich with only salary.

Haba! Show some respect na. Low life ke? As if there are no universities there, no internet there, no tarred road, abi them no get clubs, many of them live better quality life than you, forget all these online ranting.... And I know a lots of them from Ibadan who works here in Lagos but reside in Ibadan with family. Nothing is high about Lagos life or low about any life in this country. It's always personal. You are rich or poor. Many rich in Lagos, likewise ibadan. At the same time, many poor in Lagos and ibadan. We are all Nigerians and spends same valueless naira.

Hello there,

I don't know what the two jobs are, but I can tell you for free that 120k job in Ibadan is far better than 150k job in Lagos in terms of standard of living.

You may however need to look beyond that, most of the jobs in Ibadan are branch level jobs (the head offices are in Lagos), meaning that, two people starting their career on the same day in Lagos (HQ) and Ibadan (branch) will most likely not be on the same level in 24 months down the line. The guy is HQ would have gotten at least a promotion while you are still enjoying your 120K

Ask yourself again, what is the prospects of being at Ibadan after 5 to 7 years? How many job opportunities are in Ibadan compared to Lagos? Will it be easy to find a good manager level job in Ibadan in about 5 years time at least compared to Lagos?

Don't only think of today when choosing a new job, think strategically, you will thank me in years to come, I am telling you that from my over 20 years of experience!

my brother the stress in Lagos can reduced someone life span with 20 years. If far better to have your own business in Lagos than working for somehow. I relocate from Lagos to Osun state last year the little things I have achieved here I don't think I can get it in Lagos in the next 3 years.
I can now leave home 20 minutes to 8 which is not possible in Lagos.

Ibadan for what na?

I agree with you Boss, the stress in Lagos is much, but this person is just about an entry-level employee! He/She still have the energy to do the running around, I am not sure there is any savings for the person to start a business

dont need to trade words with u,

Let's get down to the topic.
If you were offered a Job in Lagos for N150k and you were offered the same job in Ibadan for N120k, which one will you go for?

will ask you to take that of Ibadan, coz Ibadan will be stress free, accommodation will be easy also, dan transport fees will not be much, food there is also very cheap, at the end of the month you will have something to serve...

mywells:

thats the fact. if Ibadan isn't civilized, no city is civilized in Nigeria

Idaytesj29:


Lagos boys are saints, all those traffic robberies are by Kano boys

all those robberies are these ibadan boy,they constitute most nuisances in the city of lagos,the urchins agberos they're ones.

mywells:

Stress free

That's it ooo

TheSociopath:


Lol
...don't lose touch with reality bro. 8 years in one of the big consulting firms in Lagos and you're already commanding that amount

Work 8yrs b4 you earn 700k

I will prefer dat of Ibadan to Lagos despite of difference of 30k. D cost if living is so high in Lagos and u wake up like 4.00am to catch up.

I will even do 90k job for ibadan ����

Lagos is a better option if you're thinking long-term but if you like Nigerian's suffer-head, go for Ibadan.

Definitely taking ibadan

Omo it's hard to differentiate..

therajah:

Work 8yrs b4 you earn 700k

Per month, that's a lot of money even in this wretched economy

80k job in ibadan

Bro even 100k in Ibadan is better. You won't believe there is still #30 transport in Ibadan. You can get a nice apartment for 250k in decent places. Food items are not in expensive. You can work and save, except you are a club person. Ibadan has good clubs that can make you run into debts too. Everything na sense, self control and discipline
