In today’s Nigeria, having one job is barely enough to survive, let alone thrive. The rising cost of living, stagnant wages, inflation, and lack of social systems have forced many people to juggle two or even three jobs just to make ends meet.

What used to be considered “hustling” is now a basic survival strategy. From 9–5 jobs to weekend gigs, freelance work, small businesses, and online side hustles—this is the new face of the working Nigerian.

It’s not about ambition anymore—it’s about necessity.

How many jobs are you doing?

One of the craziest things that can be done in Lagos is to work for two companies at the same time. Even if na remote work you dey do, you are sure to run mad at some point grin

Yes. My farming is not for commercial use. Doing double job is a way out of this BAT induced hardship
