..."no job!"...thats the wrong mentality that turns people into criminals anywhere in the world
The right mindset to succeed anywhere in the world including Lagos is :
--- don't wait for opportunities but create ur own opportunities . How?....loook for something that people need and create a market by providing that need. It's never an easy journey but with a good vision and perseverance u will always triumph if u make efforts to understand ur market.
--- another reason that no one has to wait for opportunities is that with amount of information on the internet and social media u can basically build an empire by just lying on ur bed in ur room. E.g. look at Seun of nairaland and Linda ikeji.
Just believe in urself and do something positive and u will always win
sir, not everybody can become an entrepreneur.. especially in Nigeria.. thats where people get it wrong.. workforce is still needed
He recounted how every young men and women of the time considered a regular visit to Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s African Shrine in Ikeja as an essential ingredient of Lagos life.
“We remember in those good old days, Fela Ransome-Kuti, the Afrobeat King. We all used to go to Fela Ransome-Kuti’s and relax. And of course such music as Shakara Oloje was our favourite. Fela was just number one then. We couldn’t go anywhere else then but Fela’s African Shrine. We remember the African Shrine and that was a lot of fun for us.”
According to him, one could never truly claim to live in Lagos without visiting the Bar Beach, on the Lagos Atlantic coastline.
“And of course Bar Beach. We used to go to Bar Beach in those good old days. Going to Bar Beach was like fun. You go there to watch the water, the waves,” he said.
“What else is there to do in Lagos? Quite a number of things, a number of activities: Lagos is always very welcoming, very relaxing.
“Other than the hustle, bustle, business activities and the profit you make, there are many places where you can spend those profits also.”

We are on our way to the top to come and join you.

Throwback: Are you telling me that Jim Ovia did not come to Lagos from his village in Delta with awesome wealth?
So he came to Lagos to develop himself financially, and not that he came with his village wealth to develop Lagos?
Kenekings and his fellow clansmen need to see this Lagos wonder. Always lamenting that their brothers should return home to invest as though the money they have now in Lagos was brought from the village. Meanwhile, they root themselves in Lagos, afraid to return to the barren lend they forsook, yet are clamouring for others to return.
Jim Ovia has made his wealth in Lagos and he has paid his tax and dues to Lagos. Those who are in the village and are not happy with his progress should come force him back to his village.
