How to start work

Use Go to work on a scheduled working day, between 06:00 and before 22:00. Current rules settle a shift over 60 game minutes; configured career hours describe the schedule, not that settlement duration.

Promotion requirements

After a completed shift, promotion checks 100% work performance and the career growth skill threshold. Entry requirements are separate; changing careers can reset your position.

Best jobs by situation

There is no universal best job. Compare pay at your current rank, entry skill gates and working days; a top salary is only useful once you can actually reach it.

Side gigs

A venue can be open while an activity is locked. Check its skill, student or event conditions. Prices and need effects can change with policies and your character state.

Businesses

A business has an upfront price, regular operating costs and bad days. The normal-day net range below subtracts costs from gross income; it excludes bad days, tax and policy adjustments.

Land and plots

Land growth is a weekly configuration rate. Omo-onile is a levy chance, with a 10% levy in the current rule; selling deducts 5%. Future value is not guaranteed.

Transport

Compare fare and time separately. The base fare is not a full trip quote: distance, traffic, policy and your chosen vehicle can change the final cost.

Cars and fuel

Dealer base prices can be 4× or 10× the configuration value. Resale uses 60% of the configuration value; adjustments may change the purchase quote.

Generators and solar

A generator needs fuel during an outage; solar provides another power source. Buy mode prices are references. Use your actual outage spending when comparing the two.

Needs and recovery

Recover low needs before training or work. Pick an affordable action that is open and meets your conditions.

Items and prices

All language versions share the same dated data. Game actions and entity names are retained in English so you can match the actual interface.

Relationships

A social action checks relationship level and sometimes chance or Bae status. Meeting the threshold does not guarantee a successful interaction.

Lifetime goals

Each goal has a distinct condition. Keep regular bills covered while training, building relationships or saving; account progress must be checked in the game.

Daily gem hunt

Read the current clue and hunt date in the official game. This guide explains the process and has no confirmed live answer. A previous clue is not today’s answer.

Controls and shortcuts

M opens the map and T opens venue activities in the current client. Keyboard shortcuts are for desktop; on a phone, use the visible map and activity controls.

Find an activity

A venue can be open while an activity is locked. Check its skill, student or event conditions. Prices and need effects can change with policies and your character state.

Payback scenario tool

A business has an upfront price, regular operating costs and bad days. The normal-day net range below subtracts costs from gross income; it excludes bad days, tax and policy adjustments.

Tax scenario

The public tax rule has a weekly allowance of ₦1,000,000 and marginal bands of 20%, 40% and 45%. The scenario below estimates cumulative tax, not the exact next payment.

Governor policies

Daily hunt timing and city policies are time-sensitive. Check the date and current official panel before acting.
