If you are planning to move to Lagos, you have to understand that while it is a beautiful place to live in, it is also crowded. The night life is as bustling as the day life. It is in fact, a city that never sleeps.

Lagos is a place for all. There are high end places like Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah and Ikeja. Considerably affordable places like Ogba, Magodo, Surulere and Yaba are also places one would love to settle down.

The cheapest places to live in include Agege, Ojo, Igando, Iyana-Iba,Iyana-Ipaja,Ipaja and Abule-Egba. Bear in mind that these places have the highest population and therefore the crime rate in these areas are very high. Tourists in these areas should be careful and on the look out for people who are likely to feign friendship in order to dupe them.

In Lagos, no matter the time, you can never go hungry as the street food is top notch. Do not leave Lagos without trying the street barbecued beef called Suya.

For the first time visitor, Lagos can be a bit of a culture shock. Noise, traffic, non functioning streetlights, constant power outages. But once you get over the six-month hump, the place grows on you. Restaurants, pubs, beaches, generally friendly people. All in all, not too bad a place to live.

Lagos, a city that never sleeps, is a melting pot of a wide variety of cultures and nationalities. The economic capital of Nigeria houses numerous companies including multinational corporations and tech startups. There is never a dull moment in the city as there is always a wide variety of activities to partake in, from restaurants, lounges and theatres to beaches and concerts. However, Lagos is notorious for its significantly heavy traffic as commuting can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on where you live. It is a bit less daunting for those who live on the island, while those that commute from the mainland need to ensure they thoroughly plan their commuting times to avoid peak traffic periods.

The music and entertainment industry are another thing that makes Lagos so lively. Nigerians love to party regardless of the time or occasion there are always parties happening. If you go out in Lagos people refer to each other like they are related instead of saying ma’am and sir they call each other uncle and aunty. This makes you feel like you are part of a big family. Nigerians are huge on respect and age, as long as someone is older than you there has to be a level of respect.
