A real “survival of the fittest”. I once lived like this (commuting from Agbado-Ijaiye to Ikoyi everyday). Covid was yet to happen, so it was 100% onsite.
I see a train in the clip, but during my experience, it was just BRT (that were yet to be fully active). The Oshodi-Ikeja-Iyana Ipaja road was still under construction at the time. The Abule-Egba jubilee bridge was also under construction at the time.
There was a real difference between leaving the house by 5:00am and leaving the house by 5:05am. The former (i.e., 5:00am) meant that you could easily get a direct Obalende bus from your bus stop, and you get to work as early as 6:30am.
The latter meant that you could get to work by 9:00am (yes, that five minutes difference is a big, big deal. Once you missed the direct Obalende bus, you are finished).
But that’s by the way.
How does one get out of this routine?
Very clearly, one of the possible reasons why you commute from such a long distance is because you cannot afford to rent an apartment that is close by. Your salary can not stomach it yet.
If there are no short-term measures like squatting with a friend, you gotta actively work towards changing your job to another one that pays really well. Like really well.
Let all the days of hustle and serious sacrifice count for something, but you gotta change that job. You gotta raise your income level, and you do so by finding your way to the high-paying jobs (bruh, even if you gotta change you career).
Now here is the dilemma. The relatively high-paying jobs are not common. They are few. And you have hundreds of people hustling for those same jobs. This means you have to be super competitive. You have to “figagbaga” (re: folks in school, don’t forget to take your grades seriously. That is where it starts from).
With the right information and skillset (both of which you gotta work very had to get), you can move up the ladder a bit.
A good accommodation and a good car are necessary - especially a good car. Even if it is a small Kia (maybe those Kia Picanto), it has become a “necessity” in Lagos.
We looked at the numbers at Cowrywise some months back, and we arrived at a conclusion that owning a car is the cheapest transportation means (in the long run). The initial expense is high but it evens out in the long run (read more here: https://t.co/USUQFoKrBo)
Sadly, given the current situation in Nigeria, you may need to earn around ₦1mm+ monthly to afford and maintain one. Staff loan, savings, other borrowings can help you to purchase the car.
The country is hard, and we just gotta forge our path in one way or another.
Yeah, that's my mom lying down there after a successful surgery at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital and that's my sister by the door and I was behind her waiting to receive my Mom from the nurses.

1/ Meet Numan Ramzan. He runs a scam call center out of Lahore, Pakistan.
His employees tried to scam me…but instead of paying them money, I hacked their computers and his live CCTV cameras.
Armed policemen and their commander extorted ₦50,000 from me this morning at Anthony, on my way to the airport. They exploited my flight urgency and accused me of being a 'working boy' despite showing trail of my work experience.
Some days ago I saw a video on X of a woman who bought a box of milk half of which was fake. Week in week out we read stories of fake drugs, fake drinks and fake products from Nigerians warning other Nigerians.
This is good, but we need to do more than warn others. We need to report it to the authorities. A fake product is most likely bought from an outlet who likely got it from a vendor who likely got it from a distributor who got it from the manufacturer. If you report that outlet to the authorities, they are likely to be able to trace it to the vendor who can lead them to the distributor who can then lead them to the manufacturer.
For those who ask how do we do this? It's simple. There are channels already set up by NAFDAC for this.
1. You can call their Toll-free line or email them on - 0800-1-NAFDAC (0800-1-623322)
Direct complaint numbers:
+234 (0) 909-763-0506
+234 (0) 909-763-0507
Email:
[email protected][email protected].
2. Or you can just Walk-into the nearest NAFDAC office with a sample of the items and lodge your complaints.
3. SMS Reporting via PRASCOR.
NAFDAC has an SMS-based rapid alert system called PRASCOR (Pharmacovigilance Rapid Alert System for Consumer Reporting)
Send an SMS for free to: 20543 (on MTN, Glo, Airtel, or 9mobile)
Message should include the Product name, what happened and why you think it’s fake.
If and when you suspect a fake product,
- take photos or scans of the item and packaging
- Write down where you bought the item and when it was bought
- Note the Batch number or NAFDAC registration number (if visible)
- Evidence of harm (like a health issue after use, if applicable).
This will go a long way makes it easier for the authorities to investigate and stop the flow of the fake products in the market.
Yesterday, I was trying to book a train ticket. The moment the site opened around 4:30pm, Coach 1 was already fully booked. I panicked and quickly checked Coach 2, which was almost full as well.
So I immediately moved to Coach 5, where there were only a few seats left. I booked one right away. Within 20 minutes, every single seat was gone.
But let me tell you what really happened when I got to the train station this morning.
People were there buying tickets directly from staff. That means a large number of seats were likely held back and later sold at outrageous prices. That is not business. It feels criminal.
Situations like this are why progress feels so difficult. When systems are manipulated and ordinary people are forced to pay more just to survive, it damages trust and fairness.
Nigeria cannot move forward if integrity is constantly sacrificed for quick profit.
I'm taking the train to Ibadan for the first time, boarding at Agege. My excitement was greatly dampened by the sight that greeted passengers as we approached the train - people sleeping on some of the tracks! The NRC officials say they can't get them to leave. 🥺 #Lawlessness
The reason why Doctors advise against water before 6 months is because baby kidneys cannot properly process water and no matter how clean water is, even the slightest germ in it can lead to infection in babies. Babies can’t handle lots of water because it can lead to intoxication
A man shares how two Nigerian police officers allegedly unlawfully detained his car, seized his documents, and even deflated his tires. He says that after reporting the incident to Elewe Eran Police Station, officers there ordered the car to be released, but the two officers allegedly refused and insisted he apologize to them.
“This Morning Around 4:30am, Near Fagba Railway In Lagos, I Encountered 4 Police Officers. They Had Stopped About 3 Cars On The Railway, But None Of Them Stopped Me. I Had Already Driven Past Them When I Suddenly Heard a Loud Noise At The Back Of My Car. One Of The Officers Picked Up a Stone From The Ground And Threw It At My Car, Hitting It And Breaking My Rear Chrome. I Stepped Down From The Car And Noticed The Officer Appeared Drunk. I Asked Him Why He Would Do That As a Professional Police Officer. Instead Of Responding Calmly, He Became Aggressive And Started Fighting Me”. ~ Man Cries Out
