The Complete Guide To Becoming A Lagos Big Boy

So you want to be a Lagos Big Boy, so all the yellow girls can fall for you like the naira notes that rain from E-money’s money gun?

Being a Lagos Big Boy is not easy o. You will need all the packaging you can get. Because we love you, we decided to put this guide together for you, so you can ball on a budget and trap all the yellow girls you want. Here’s what you’d need to pass for a Lagos Big Boy, and stop all the club bouncers from blocking you at the entrance.

1. A sweet ride

Either a Range Rover,  G -Wagon or a Toyota Land cruiser will do. Don’t scream just yet, we know you can’t afford them. Find one of your rich uncles to ‘run errands’ for whenever you need the car to borrow pose. Alternatively, you can get the car keys to these cars and brandish them everywhere you go. 

 

2. Live on the Island.

By island, we mean, strictly Lekki, Ikoyi or Victoria Island. Forget places like Ajah, Badore, Epe etc. Those don’t count. You have two options: Become a caretaker for someone who has a big beautiful house on the Island, but lives abroad, or find friends to squat with.

3. Have an iPhone (the latest one) and a Samsung backup.

If you’re serious about getting the ladies, you need the latest iPhone, and an equally expensive Samsung, so they know you mean business.

4. Pop bottles in the club.

When you go clubbing, you have to pop bottles and buy drinks for your whole table. Yes, a table is a requirement too. How else will they know that you have arrived? It does not matter that you will have to stay back and wash plates in the club after, the ladies will definitely be impressed.

5. Get a killer haircut.

The kind of haircut you have is a huge part of the Lagos Big Boy look. Forget your barber, and be ready to sacrifice like 3k for a haircut at any of the upscale barbing salons on the Island. Alternatively, you can ask TeeBillz who his barber is.

6. Always have a wad of mint notes in your pocket.

It’s all about the appearances. You don’t have to spend the notes, just bring them out at intervals. You should also try to add foreign currency to your stash.

 

7. Have more than one bank’s debit card in your wallet.

Get a debit card from every bank possible, and arrange them neatly in your wallet. You need to show people that you hold multiple accounts in multiple banks so they can think you’re a baller.

8. Pink lips.

If you don’t have naturally pink lips, your best bet is to visit ‘under bridge’ Ikeja, you’d definitely find what you’re looking for.
