How To MAKE IT IN LAGOS!!!
HOW TO MAKE IT IN LAGOS!!!
By Akanni Temiyato
If you can make it in Lagos, you can be successful anywhere in the World. Lagos city is truly the centre of excellence but it also is the business war zone of chaos. The energy level of the humans plus the ambience of large water creates that big energy force of possibilities. The vibration level is higher than most place in the world because it is small land but very mighty.
Lagos is the house away from home and the market place for many. It is where the best from all over the country come together to find a better life. It is the land of crazy competition and the perfect location you can escape the country from. The home for the good, the bad and everyday is filled with wild dramas. If you don't look for trouble, trouble might just find you in your peaceful abode. It is the city that never sleeps and the people that never stop making money.
My earliest time visiting Lagos as a teenager I hated the rush hours hold up and said I will never live in this town. I was used to the Serene Minna Town I was born and brought up in. Fast forward to today, I live and love the town with passion. Like play I have been here a decade and still counting, I am finding out this is one of the best place on earth to make anything happen from right now. It is the trigger point of Africa and the focus of the world is all eyes on us right now.
You have to be super smart first to start getting value back for yourself here. If you don't have a grip on yourself the people of Lagos will drain you out or distract you from your own life. Choose carefully the people you roll with and know the ones you do business with. Everybody wants to take advantage of somebody because somebody in Lagos has taken advantage everybody at one point. The youth of Lagos are the luckiest as Lagos is the gold mine of opportunities and the converging hub connecting the world to Nigeria.
To survives or to make it in Lagos is not easy and as fast as it moves, but it is a worthwhile ride and time...

Beautiful write-up. I just relocated to Lagos Because marriage brought me. I've been visiting and never wished to live here. It's chaotic in the rush hour traffic indeed, most times I don't want to go out to avoid it. I like that there is always something fun to do or fun place to go. Still trying to ease into the system. I hope I get to enjoy my stay.
