Welcome to Lagos, the city that never sleeps. A place where being street smarts is essential, and every day is an adventure. Lagos is loud, fast, and full of life, you will find energy and hustle around every corner, but to survive here, you have to keep your wits about you.Run from crowdIf you see a crowd, do not walk in there. Do not even look. Crowds in Lagos could mean two thing, either something is being sold, or something is about to get stolen. Pickpockets can be smoother than silk, so if you must pass by, grip your bag tight and keep your valuables in hidden pockets. No matter how much FOMO you have, stay clear of suspicious gatherings.Carry cash in smaller denominationsNever walk around Lagos with big notes alone. You will need change for everything, and giving a bus conductor a thousand naira note might as well be asking for a fight. So, load up on smaller notes, they are your best friend when you are in these streets.
Lagos does not wait for anyone, so you have got to come with energy. Do not look lost or timid, otherwise, someone somewhere will try to take advantage. If you are in a market, be ready to bargain like your life depends on it.
