Lagos is Hectic! Lagos is mad! Lagos is class-crazy! However Lagos brings out the hustle in me. Back in london, i've gone back to the mundane, same-old routine, everything moving at snail pace way of life. <br /><br />Im beginning to miss Naija again, but the stability im enjoying here in London is too much of a sacrifice to give away. What i've decided to do now is to take the Lagos energy and imply it to my life here hence im starting a new business next year. <br /><br />Good luck with your endeavours...you seem to be making it and enjoying the good things of Lagos, we cant have it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-87884979313571675722011-09-10T10:47:05.573+01:002011-09-10T10:47:05.573+01:00Sigh... i ask myself the same questions everyday. ...Sigh... i ask myself the same questions everyday. Having just relocated 10 months ago, i can't help but flash back to my comfy life in the UK. 15 yrs away from nigeria surely didnt help... i'm close to telling hubby i wanna go back..i mostly hate it here and cant help but complain everyday! I have tried to get used to it as my friends have advised and try to see a glimmer of hope sumwhere, but nah.. from house girls that give u daily headaches with their wahala, to drivers and guards stealing ur diesel and selling it..list is endless. its sad that the excitement i had 10 months ago at d tots of relocating back home disappeared within 2 weeks of getting here...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-14144476631101424432011-09-09T20:16:05.800+01:002011-09-09T20:16:05.800+01:00Well every part of Nigeria has its peculiarities. ...Well every part of Nigeria has its peculiarities.

And a sort of let it roll off ur back approach. While lagos is hectic, the truth is it might be the golden ticket some folks need in their lives.

Not for me. I was there for work and was more than depressed half of the time even though i had 24 hours water and electricity. it was ridiculous. it's one worry over another. fear of getting kidnapped, my maid's petty theft (the heifer was pinching body cream, salt, sanitary pad and poured my body wash, diluting the remaining with water), traffic, my driver lying and begging for money all the time etc...i was like heck nah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-9615655143908700892011-09-08T22:58:48.454+01:002011-09-08T22:58:48.454+01:00Haba SD,

I used to work on the mainland and faced little traffic to and from work.Now i work in Victoria Island and spend minimum of two hours in traffic back home everyday-that alone is enough to make any sane person stressed and angry(lol)<br /><br />NEPA seem to have repented lately o-so happy for that.<br /><br />Nigeria is not as bad as you make it seem and I still love my lagos even with the traffic.Just meenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-45189967830848960332011-09-08T21:23:14.470+01:002011-09-08T21:23:14.470+01:00eh yah, i can imagine, sorry but thats our beloved...eh yah, i can imagine, sorry but thats our beloved country, i believe change is coming soon<br /><br />-bhookeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-1756219550433106492011-09-08T18:16:46.572+01:002011-09-08T18:16:46.572+01:00i feel you.pele. i'm glad you're also thin...i feel you.pele. i'm glad you're also thinking of what you can do to helpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-17913119449928094272011-09-08T18:12:56.291+01:002011-09-08T18:12:56.291+01:00(),sry, Lagos can be stressful.

On occasion when I drive by during rush hour, I shake my head mannn, I feel bad for the backpain, headaches, and lost lives going on in those cars. <br />My mantra when I've been employed in Lagos (well, anywhere in the world actually) has been WALKING DISTANCE. Cut the car and driver expenses. But not everyone likes the same thing. Other options - BRT bus. Other options, work outside Lagos where you earn more spend less and can afford a house wherever. Or work from home. Or don't work at all (in some cases, it's cheaper than roaming around the bridge stuck in your car.) <br />Then after you get the Island house, or the Mainland job next door to your home, they'll probably skip a paycheck or five. Welcome to Lagos. <br />Pay the one year's rent on the Island sweetie. Get a serviced place or get an inverter (less expensive). End of advice column. Hugs. <br />http://upnaira.blogspot.com/2011/02/lagos-survival-guide.html<br /><a href="http://upnaira.blogspot.com/2011/02/lagos-survival-guide.html" rel="nofollow">Living well in Lagos</a>thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362291064620569539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051179683539207960.post-42422507351726955482011-09-08T16:32:50.482+01:002011-09-08T16:32:50.482+01:00i feel u.
