Jobs, salaries & making money

Get hired, then attend a shift

Open Phone → Jobs and compare the skill gate and working days. The current interface calls these 1-hour shifts, any time. Older data fields still contain nominal start hours and shift lengths, but they do not describe the current manual-attendance window. Use the present Jobs card and Go to work control.

1. Choose a role whose application requirement you meet. The entry card shows Apply — start tomorrow. Switching jobs asks you to confirm leaving your present role; related experience may carry over.
2. Check the Your job panel for the actual title, grade and pay per shift.
3. On a listed workday, restore urgent needs and use 💼 Go to work. Manual attendance is available between 06:00 and 22:00 on the Lagos clock. You must be in the workplace’s city, cannot have already worked that day, and cannot be travelling, already working, jailed or seriously sick.
4. Stay for the full one-hour shift. Ending early changes pay; the amounts below assume a completed shift.
5. Complete the mini-tasks offered during work. Four wins unlock the current Employee of the shift 15% bonus. Other pay modifiers and tax can also apply.
6. Read the result and check the balance. The game reports pay after tax, tax, performance and grade or promotion progress.

Go automatically in Jobs can start attendance for you when its conditions are met. Automatic attendance also checks the scheduled career window and whether you are free of a queued action; it is not proof that the game completed a shift while you were absent.

Read the grade before comparing pay

Non-top career ranks now have grades I, II, III and IV. A newly hired role normally starts at I. The static rank price is the IV baseline, so treating it as a brand-new starter’s pay overstates the starting amount. Banking’s Marketer I is ₦10,100; Tech’s Intern I is ₦8,600. The difference is ₦1,500 per full shift before modifiers. Their IV baselines are ₦11,600 and ₦9,900.

Below are current derived grade amounts from the official client captured 12 October 2026. They are full-shift baselines, before tax, degree/policy bonuses, mini-task bonuses, or other live adjustments. A top rank has one listed pay. Entry requirements are baseline gates; relevant credentials and track requirements can affect what your character sees.

Career lookup

Improve the next grade or rank

The current progression panel checks more than a skill level. Performance must reach 100, and the required completed shifts for the grade must be met. Rank promotions can additionally require the career’s skill, Lagos reputation, time spent at the rank and a board interview for the final promotion. Read the panel’s next-step requirements rather than assuming one good shift guarantees promotion.

A worked weekly plan

For an example LAPO character in Mushin, five planned full shifts as Intern I give a gross plan of ₦43,000: ₦8,600 × 5. Subtract ₦2,400 rent, ₦12,000 loan repayment and a player-chosen ₦5,000 food/travel allowance. The planned remainder is ₦23,600. The allowance is an example input, not an official price.

Use your actual title/grade or override the pay with the amount on your Jobs screen. The plan cannot predict missed or partial shifts, bonuses, tax, changing economy conditions or other expenses. If you already have a job or own your home, use those circumstances instead of this example.

Add a side gig without losing the next rent payment

Start with an action available to your character. At home, tap the Sim for WhatsApp Hustle. Its current base earn formula is ₦250 + ₦450 for each whole Hustle level, so Hustle 2 gives a derived ₦1,150 for the 60-game-minute action. This uses a skill a normal LAPO start already has and does not require a new Laptop Desk purchase.

For a venue route, open Map, choose Amala Shitta and inspect Help at the Buka. The current action lists a ₦1,750 base reward, takes 90 game minutes and lowers fun and hygiene while working. Restore the needs you will use before combining it with a career shift. The place is listed open 07:00–22:00; include the current fare in the decision.

A coding path takes preparation:

1. Visit CcHub in Yaba when open, or use a placed Laptop Desk at home.
2. At CcHub, Hack on Side Project trains Coding. At home, Practice Coding is the Laptop Desk training action.
3. Reach Coding 2 before choosing the applicable Freelance Gig.
4. Read which version of the gig you selected. CcHub’s current formula is ₦1,000 + ₦750 × whole Coding level, over 120 game minutes. A Laptop Desk’s home gig is ₦1,500 + ₦1,400 × whole Coding level, over 180 game minutes.
5. Finish the action and check its result. At Coding 2, those are derived base amounts of ₦2,500 and ₦4,300 respectively; they do not include travel, equipment cost, tax or other modifiers.

If you need the home setup, use Buy → Skills, inspect Laptop Desk and place it where the game allows. Its current base price is ₦18,000. It also exposes Run Instagram Shop, whose base formula is ₦400 + ₦700 × whole Hustle level. At Hustle 2 that gives a derived ₦1,800 over 90 game minutes. A second desk is another object purchase, not evidence that one Sim can double simultaneous income.

Photography and branded skits are later skill routes. The current DSLR Camera & Tripod has a ₦24,000 base price and photography practice actions; the Ring Light & Phone Stand costs ₦9,500 and supports Film a Comedy Skit before the paid Comedy 3 action. Read the live requirements before spending a rent reserve on equipment.

Businesses and betting use different budgets

Open Phone → Invest to inspect assets available to your character. The current simple business definitions include a Recharge & Data Kiosk at ₦150,000 and a POS Stand at ₦500,000. The POS definition lists a normal gross daily range of ₦5,000–₦11,500, running costs of ₦2,000, and bad-day losses; gross revenue is not take-home profit. Treat it as a later purchase whose cost and risks must fit your reserve, then check the actual live card and result. Newer company/shop systems have their own conditions.

A bet spends a stake on a random result. The 5 October creator walkthrough includes losing bets as well as winning one, which supports treating it as a variable outcome. It does not support a repeatable payday or a promise that betting pays better than work. Keep necessary rent and loan money out of an optional stake.

Questions raised by players

Can I withdraw Game Naira to my bank? No. The official Terms §5 say Game Naira cannot be withdrawn to a bank or redeemed for real currency. It is not money the game owes you. A player’s promise to turn a small transfer into a larger one does not guarantee a return.

I was hired as a mason. Is Go to work the right button? A salaried career shift and a player-hired construction contract are different systems. The current construction definitions use Mason labour for Foundation and Walls stages, and the Phone contains Hustle for player jobs. If your hiring card is a player’s home-building contract, inspect Phone → Hustle for that contract. The original player question does not establish which system hired them. We have not established the worker’s exact start/completion controls from the available public materials, so this guide does not invent a button sequence or claim that opening the contract completes it. The verified customer instructions say a completed worker is paid through Hustle.

How do I become a garage chairman? The inspected Abuja Keke Riding career progresses through Keke Rider, Keke Owner, Park Marshal, Fleet Owner and Transport Union Chairman, with Fitness as its progression skill. That is a documented career chain to compare with your goal; “garage chairman” has not been confirmed as its official name. An Election Thug job or action was not located in the inspected materials, so no procedure is claimed for that phrase.

Source: official ACTIONS/OBJECTS, Phone and construction definitions captured 12 October 2026; KKC Games’ 5 October walkthrough supplies dated player context and the actual comment questions. The creator narrated ₦700 after Buka work in that older session, while today’s inspected Help at the Buka definition is ₦1,750. An old market ₦4,800 report lacks a confidently identified action, and its beach amount is unclear in automatic captions; neither becomes a current payout table value.
