Lagos Life money: jobs, businesses and land
The Lagos Life economy has three dials: your job, your side businesses and land. The loop is simple and unforgiving - earn more than your Saturday rent, then reinvest.
Businesses
| Business | Cost | Take-home / day | Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recharge & Data Kiosk | ₦150,000 | ₦700-3,200/day | Ojuelegba |
| Zobo & Chapman Stand | ₦300,000 | ₦1,800-5,800/day | Yaba |
| POS Stand | ₦500,000 | ₦3,000-9,500/day | Yaba |
| Buka (Mama Put) | ₦2,500,000 | ₦12,000-43,000/day | Surulere |
| Barbing Salon | ₦6,000,000 | ₦26,000-93,000/day | Ikeja |
| Car Wash | ₦15,000,000 | ₦62,000-204,000/day | Lekki |
| Event Centre | ₦60,000,000 | ₦155,000-741,000/day | Ikoyi |
| Quilox Share (5%) | ₦250,000,000 | ₦645,000-2,435,000/day | Victoria Island |
Each business carries a small chance of a bad day that costs real money, and sells back for roughly 60% of what you paid.
Land

|---|---|---|---|
| Imota, Ikorodu (quarter plot) | ₦250,000 | 40% | +2.5%/week |

Land appreciates rather than paying out, and carries the omo-onile family levy shown above. There is also a 5% selling fee.

Sending money and tax
- Sending naira to another player costs a 5% fee, minimum ₦50.
- Your first ₦1,000,000 of weekly shift income is tax-free, then 20%, rising to 45% above ₦50,000,000.
- The governor can change minimum wage, transport and food costs, so check the active policy.
