Hi there! It's definitely more than a trend – people across Nigeria, not just in Lagos, are increasingly seeing forex as a way to escape the limitations of the local economy. With inflation weakening the naira and job opportunities being unpredictable, forex offers a relatively low-barrier entry into the global financial world. The ability to trade from your phone with minimal startup costs is a big draw.

That said, it’s far from easy money. Many newcomers underestimate how volatile and emotionally taxing forex can be. If you’re interested, I’d recommend reading a solid article on a trusted site about Trading in Nigeria before you jump in. It can really help you avoid common beginner mistakes.
