Living and working in Lagos
Nigeria’s largest city stretches over the mainland, around Ikeja and Yaba, and the islands, from Lagos Island and Ikoyi to Victoria Island and Lekki. Balogun Market on Lagos Island and Computer Village in Ikeja are known far beyond the city.
With heavy traffic and the bridges between the mainland and the islands, distance matters in every gig. Finding someone in Surulere for a job in Surulere, rather than at the other end of the city, changes everyone’s day.

A few examples of paid gigs you could do in Lagos, depending on your skills and what clients post:

How it works
- The client describes the need: the work, the place in Lagos, the date and the budget.
- Interested talents apply, and both sides can talk through the site’s messaging.
- The client chooses: they then receive the talent’s phone number.
- The gig is done and paid directly, and the client can leave a review.
Payment
In Nigeria, the talent and the client agree on the price between themselves and are usually paid in cash or by bank transfer or a mobile money app. The money for gigs never goes through MIPOconnect, which takes no commission. Posting a gig is free; talents can send 5 applications a month without a subscription.
