This is Lagos!
<span class="html-content"> <p>I think Nigerians, particularly those residing in other states, have different views about Lagos. However, there's a generic perception that it's an opportunity hub. Let me clearly state that only a few people in Lagos are sane, and I am one of those people! I'm saying it with my full chest, and I'm in my house! Come and beat me 😅 Nollywood has given some people the impression that you can "easily blow" once you move to Lagos. Let me give you a brief analogy. Emeka who is frustrated in the village somewhere in Owerri, moves to the City- "Lagos" to serve his older brother, and in 3 months he becomes a millionaire.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;HOW NAAAAA!&nbsp;</p><p>In another case, he could fall in love with Nneka, who is from a wealthy family, and they could eventually live happily ever after irrespective of the objections from her family.</p> <p>SCAM!!&nbsp;</p><p>BIG SCAM!!</p> <p>A part of me wants to believe this is actually possible, but the other part is in utter disbelief. My dear, Lagos is not for the weak. Your temperament may change. I know mine did! It's not all glamorous as some may think, but you can do great things here.&nbsp;</p><p>You must give it your all because --"THIS IS LAGOS"--</p> </span>
This is Lagos!
