Practical guidance to help you make your next in-game decision across Mainland corridors and Island hubs.
The eight decisions that make up a first session, in order: open the official game, record your starting state, cover rent before anything else, pick from the 13 no-requirement careers, work a shift, recover your meters, train toward a skill gate, then review the week in the planner. Every number cited is in our public dataset.
Thirteen careers accept you with zero requirements, the cheapest bed in the game costs ₦1,200, and two free actions cover your sleep and hunger. Here's how the first seven days actually add up — every number verified against the game's own data files.
33 career tracks across three cities, each with five levels. Oil & Gas tops out at ₦96,000 per shift — the highest verified pay in the game. Full ladders for the five main paths, plus which careers are gated behind skill levels.
17 rentable homes across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt — from the ₦1,200 UNILAG hostel to the ₦1,500,000 Banana Island mansion. City-by-city tiers, what the honest unknowns are, and the three mid-tier sweet spots at ₦6,000.
Five skills gate the ₦17,000–₦21,000 careers, and the game data records exactly which activities train them and how fast. Lift Weights (fitness rate 2.0), the Weekend Hackathon (coding 2.0), and the club run that trains charisma at 1.5 while maxing your social meter.
School fees are ₦20,000 and programmes run 4–5 years. Every degree names the skill it builds and the careers it feeds — Computer Science and Systems Engineering both feed Tech, while Accounting feeds three career families at once.
Alabaru pays ₦2,250 per session and trains fitness, helping at the Buka pays ₦1,750, and reporting a crime pays ₦2,000 plus social. Not shift money — but they need no job, no skill, and no gate.
69 buyable items, all one-time prices. The essentials are almost free — foam mattress ₦1,800, standing fan ₦2,200 — while the top of the catalog is a billionaire trophy shelf of jets, yachts, and a gold bullion vault.
