No doubt, Nigeria is one of the most popular countries in Africa with Lagos state being the Center of excellence, residence for Nollywood and very many celebrities, socialites not to forget the groupies, side kicks, hustlers, video-vixens etc :)
Just like people go in search of their dreams and talents in New york,
people come to Lagos to make it! anyhow possible; talent or no talent.
Its not like they are available jobs to sink the inflow of people coming
to Lagos or like most of the Lagos immigrants are talented or qualified
enough for white collar jobs. In Lagos state you can create your own
white collar job out of anything.
Its only Lagos you will see a lady dressed from head-to-toe cooperate
and she goes 'oh i'm a personal shopper, i help the A-listers shop and
organize their closet) -in a combination of British and American accent.
lol.
Anyway if you are planning on making it in Lagos, let me give you some
tips girls on how to fit in. For the guys read this tips, cram them well
so when next you see a girl in Lagos like this run for your dear life
hahaahaha
1. LOOKS: You cant be striving to be a Lagos big girl and look tacky
and all that. you must dress well...wear designers only. Louis Vuitton,
Prada, Vivienne Westwood, christian louboutin, mango should be the
cheapest.
They are not many dark girls left in Lagos, charcoal black is an
abomination. Only fair, fresh girls. If you are black better visit all
those 'iya's' that help tone your skin. In no time you will be as white
as snow. :) or if you don't want to compete with snow white just be
chocolate fair (a new color i heard).
Your extensions should not be short. short hair is so last two years in
Lagos from 20inch till the longest they make. virgin hair or probably
all those new names they have Mongolian, Cambodian bleached with
closure. The only time you are caught with short hair, it should be
'funmi hair'. (wink wink).
2. GADGETS: Very important, you cant have one phone. You must have at
least 2 or 3, preferably 3. One blackberry porsche, Q-10 or Z-10 for
pinging, Lagos girls are never idle they always ping. One i-phone 5 for
instagram and one Galaxy note as back up phone or Sony Xperia-Z.
3. MAKE UP: Make up, cannot be under emphasized in Lagos because that is
the major trade-mark. Bright colored lips like pink and red or orange
should be used only. So when you take your instagram pictures and pout
(duck face) of course it will show. Don't forget to arch your brows, if
you are not that perfect get a 'nike sign' turn it upside down and
practice.
4. HOUSE: Also where you reside is of utmost importance mainland (hmm
dat one nor join) except you have a bad-ass car and mansion. Lagos
Island is the place, even if its a studio apartment as far as you and
your clothes can sleep every night no problem. Also, because they are
pricy you can beg like 4 or 5 of your friends to split the cost of the
house with you.
5. ACCESSORIES: Lagos girls like their 'candies' 'eyecandy', 'arm candy'
just buy plenty hand, and toe rings and wear all at once. buy statement
jewelries or better still big gold chain and wear on your neck always,
like 2. Then of course own a Michael kors watch, this is a must have its
about $250 dollars, dont go for a fake because most people have their
receipt in their bags. And if you are planning on lieing that you forgot
yours when asked, it has a serial number under. (LOL)
6. JOB; You cant be in Lagos and not have a job, so go get one. If you
are really pretty, tall and hot. Buy MBGN or MISS NIGERIA form and
apply. If that doesn't work, go into modelling or better still become a
video-vixen. Or you can save up and be your own boss, go into make-up or
own a boutique and join the other 1million girls in Lagos. Free-lance!
you don't need a studio oh, thats for the real professionals, from you
studio apartment do your own. Or better still go and learn how to sew
clothes, so you can open your own line of 'HAWT COUTURE' works for
everyone. Or, if you have a very polished fake accent from watching Tv
(like me) go and be a tv or radio presenter. Ultimatelly the jackpot is
Nollywood go and start acting, rapping or singing.
D'ont forget to go for all the shows, red carpet events and make sure
you get featured, here on bella naija or any top blogs in the country.
Better still buy complete fashion magazine or Thisday magazine every
Sunday and check.
So i know you all know i'm not lying, this a the qualities of the 'barbies in Lagos'.
