Lagos Life: Naija Life Sim
Lagos Life: Naija Life Sim is the official, full name of the game everyone keeps sending you. If you landed here from the Google Play listing, a TikTok comment or a friend's screenshot — this is the same game, and this page is the short version of everything worth knowing about it.
The name, decoded
The title packs three facts into seven words:
- Lagos Life — the game and the city it recreates: a shared, playable Lagos of danfo buses, Saturday rent and NEPA light.
- Naija — Nigeria's own name for itself. Putting it in the title is the game telling you who it is for first.
- Life Sim — the genre: a life simulator in the spirit of The Sims, played in your browser or on your phone.
Players shorten it every which way — "Lagos Life", "Naija Life Sim", "that Nigerian Sims game" — and they all mean this one.
What is inside the game
It launched 1 October 2026, built by Nigerian developer Shalom Rayhamen (Eliy), and passed a million players in about three days. The official listing sums up what you get:
- Three cities — Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with travel between them by road or air, and homes you can keep in any of them.
- 25 careers with five levels each — from Okada Rider to Oil Executive.
- 261 actions, six needs, nine skills — the deep life-sim machinery under the city.
- 23 places around Lagos — from Amala Shitta to Quilox — and five housing tiers from a Mushin room to Lekki Phase 1.
- A weekly governor's race where player elections change the week's fares, pay and prices for everyone.
Our starter guides walk through the parts new players ask about most: the Nepo vs LAPO birth lottery, Saturday rent and the road to ₦1,000,000.
