Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, recently shared an important piece of advice he wishes he had given himself when he was younger.

Farotimi took to his X account to reveal that he would have told his younger self, “Get out of Lagos, if you must remain in Nigeria.”

According to Farotimi, Lagos is a city that “sucks out” the peace of its residents, implying that living there can be draining.

His advice reflects his belief that the busy, fast-paced life in Lagos might be too overwhelming for one’s mental and emotional well-being.

Dele Farotimi’s words offer a thought-provoking perspective on the impact of city life, especially in a place as chaotic as Lagos.
