Moving to Lagos

Everybody wants to move to Lagos! It seems its the place to be! I never thought I'll join the numbers until I found myself visiting Lagos constantly for the past months. I am now more in Lagos than in Warri or Port Harcourt.  My new role as the Leader of Gospel artists has made it nearly impossible for me to be anywhere else if I wish to see the success of my visions.

However, getting an apartment in Lagos has proved to be one of the most difficult challenges I have encountered. The houses I've seen are quite old, unkept and yet very expensive. How can you ask me to pay N700,000 per year for a year just because your house is new? The least I saw of the old ones was N500,000 and yet, I didn't like what I saw. Some friends on the Island when they heard I was complaining told me what they were paying for theirs and I screamed! Before now, Landlords take 2years rent but thank God for Fashola, at least now I have to only worry about paying for a year. Still, Something should be done to regulate rent to an extent in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Maybe I'm saying this because I'm seeing things from the perspective of a tenant. Let's see if my thoughts would change when I become a landlord... hahahaha

I just pray I find something good soon though... because, I can not wait to start working to make a difference in the industry I represent. In all, let God's will be done!
Some of my friends have been very kind to join in the search and I appreciate all of you. Much love to you!

These are my thoughts.
