I know it's stressful, but it's just funny. I don't know how people make it in Lagos walahi. I lived in Jos, so when I came to Lagos 14 years ago, I wept. I was used to the peace and quiet and oyibo weather of Jos, but Lagos was hot and crowded and noisy. Chei!!! HATED it. I haven't been there since then, and I don't look forward to being there. Ndo, my dear. And to think, I struggle to wake up at 7:30 AM AND I even work from home ooo --- unless I have a meeting to attend. Meanwhile, I never, ever set any meeting to start earlier than 10:00 AM. That is just my personal policy. Lol. Ndooo. Per having a Nigeria with no generator, don't hold your breath.

So to avoid high temperature and headache caused by the traffic, I sleep in the staff bus till I get to my destination. Sometimes, I wish house rent on the island were more affordable.Abihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123323355611851564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-61892357898554563872014-12-04T19:43:43.771+00:002014-12-04T19:43:43.771+00:00I have changed jobs 3times in d past 4years, and y...I have changed jobs 3times in d past 4years, and yes I have also moved houses 3times in d past 4years.

Trailers! bad roads! But to God be the glory! It is well! As crazy as Lagos can be, I still miss it whenever I have to be away! I left "Hovas" to be here & haven't regretted & never will in Jesus name! The main thing is that you have to hammer well well so that you can enjoy Lagos. The one thing that really bugs me is the kind of driving Lagosians do, wetin dey do those danfo & recently keke marwa/napep guys! I really feel like flogging them sometimes, even private commuters!

I know how it feels to work on the island with all the stress because i did my IT on the island years back. Getting home 10pm-11pm every night was crazy, i was so happy when my 6-months IT programme was over.<br /><br />Like i usually tell my friends, the actual work we do in our respective offices isn't as stressful as what we actually face on Lagos roads to and fro.<br /><br />Its better for me now because my office is presently on the mainland but i usually feel sorry for people living in Ikorodu, Sango-Ota, Mowe/ibafo...their own suffering get part 2.<br /><br />As for the noise of the generators, i guess we are used to that already in Lagos.<br />Eko Oni Baje Noni!!!<br /><br />makindedaniel,blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796190251391447338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-37836461831039708622014-12-04T08:49:33.386+00:002014-12-04T08:49:33.386+00:00I live and work in Ilorin.

Even when I sometimes take my nephews to school, I still get to the office before 8. I close, 5:30/6pm. I'm home before 7pm everyday, except I branch this place or that. Though, it seems a lot of people are beginning to relocate here. When my friends visit, they marvel at how neat my car is, because there are no bashes here and there, except from my ''capital L'' days, which I just refurbished last month and is as good as new again.<br /> Talk of light, we are getting there. There's near stable electricity. At least in my area.<br />#kwaraitsgoodhere. Only disadvantage of living here/like this is, there are only a handful of places to visit. You see the same faces everywhere, hence, bad market for a single girl. LOL. Asides, this one factor, I enjoy living here.<br />NB: My office from home is like, Ojuelegba to Maryland, though there are plenty corner corner.Eniwealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357243215976018690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-1617482925246387872014-12-04T06:13:49.002+00:002014-12-04T06:13:49.002+00:00Pele Sisi Yemmie.

Before then I had kukuma sweared I'll never live in Lagos bla bla but when opportunities come knocking...<br /><br />I live on the mainland. I'm lucky that I'm always moving against traffic. Home to work is less than 20 minutes by bus. Any other outings I plan myself well before going. You guys that drive in Lagos are the real superstars, my mind no reach. <br /><br />I stay in an estate so evening walks are a luxury I can afford. I love walking. <br /><br />The generator wahala is the one that cannot be helped. I haven't seen light for close to a week but wetin person go do?

Sometimes I get on the road home and see traffic that I'll sit in for an hour (which should typically be a 20+ minute drive) and I just get weak. From what I've noticed recently, I have to start leaving my house at 5:30am for work if I don't want to sit in traffic in the mornings.
