The northern part of Nigeria is known to have large expanse of land which they mostly use for farming and grazing of animals. They are known to be the chief producers of leather items.
But over the years, some of their descent have choose to relocate to Lagos to get another life aside the farming and cattle rearing. You may have noticed some of them in your neighborhood and the kind of jobs they take on.You may wonder if some of those jobs are worth travelling all the way to Lagos for, but really, it’s not for us to judge.
Let's have a peep into some of these jobs
1. Bureau De Change: This should clearly come to mind as the northerners seem to have carved a niche for themselves in this field. You can be sure that in every part of Lagos, there will be a few of them running the business of buying and selling of local/foreign currencies. With them, you can be sure you will always get the currency you need. They strategically position themselves in different areas and call on passerby if they need to change or trade their currency for another.
2. Security Guards: This is another popular job Northerners engage in. An average of 3-5 houses on a street would have a security guard that is a northerner.
