How Do Homeless Folks In Lagos Sleep? by SoloMakinde1: 10:04pm On Nov 01, 2020
Dear moderators, please I understand this is not the right section for this thread, I need a wider audience.


Back to the topic, how and where do folks without shelter sleep in Lagos.

I mean how do they sleep, bath, do laundry, brush etcetera

Asking for a brother/friend, he'll be relocating to Lagos very soon without accomodation.

Is there any place like a warehouse where these folks (in Mass) pay like 50naira/night just to sleep? Lol

In coming to Lagos accommodation is very important oh... Atleast have somewhere to take off from every morning while searching for something to do.... Why not advice him to look for factory work in a town where he has someone that can accommodate him?

It is better he stays where he is if he can't get accomodation...he will only risk his life or he ends up joining criminals

Must he come to Lagos if he has no hope of getting an accommodation? Well, there is one at Lekki toll gate. No one will disturb him there.

Interesting.... this is just like someone leaving to go abroad .... the advice given by Lagosians can be seen as discouragement by those seeking greener pasture in Lagos.

@ topic.... accommodation is a must. If it were you.... I could've made arrangement but only for two months. Your friend is not a Nlander... sorry.

I don't know if it's normal to hide behind a friend/brother narrative.

I'm actually the one.

Relocating to Lagos has always been on my mind because as they say; Lagos is a land of opportunities.
But I don't want to end up on the street.

I will be 23 very soon.

grin grin.... coming to live in Lagos on your own you got to be street smart.... running on 5G... 24/7. I have no accommodation to offer anyone... all was just bait to get you to admit you're the one needing the information. What's normal is for people to not tell the truth.... and that can set you back a whole lot in terms of trust. If you cannot tell the truth that you are the one.... why should one believe the reason for coming to Lagos?... maybe it's normal to hide behind that reason? Tell the truth ... no matter how bad it may be.... you can get farther in life than with lies or deception.

Pegi23 has given sound advice. For my advice.... this forum is a great place to make connections. I suggest you lay out your skills or plans ... your hopes... your challenges......reasons for the move etc and pray that someone is willing to help you up the ladder. Good Luck.

And also learn to communicate properly online without superlatives like 'hmm, 'kk' and such. People take you less serious if you do. I'll advice you go on facebook and try to reconnect with some of your childhood friends staying in Lagos to see if you can get any of them to accomodate you.

There is always a paste in the tube, no matter how small, that 20$ would go a long way, should be able to get me a one room (for the first month)

Should I forward my details sir?

I will be very happy.
