I came to lagos when i was about 10 years old. That was in 2001. I was surprised to find that commercial bikers (okada men) have sound systems on their bikes. The way they were bumping songs like "eedris you don hit my car, owo repete" by the then rave of the moment Tony Tetuila could make the blind think it was coming from a lexus jeep. Another shock i got was how some guys(agbero) would come out from no where at some strategic points and be like "owo da" and the conductor will gladly give them " ten fiver". Let me stop here. Share yours.

It happened many years ago. Was a pretty normal day to me. I grew up in Warri so was already used to the stuffs I saw. The only eye opener for me was the traffic and that commercial buses drove with their doors open. Every other thing was a norm to me.

Op u just took me back memory lane. I remember the first time I visited Lagos.. That was early 90s..was still a little girl..I traveled with my Aunt from the east..for some reasons we got to Lagos at night. The next day, I was the first to jump out of bed to take a view of the much talked about Lagos. The first thing (person) that greeted my sight was a black masquerade..the speed wey I take run back inside pass usain bolt own . Alarmed I ran to my aunt and told her that I just saw a Yoruba masquerade.. I later learnt that it was not a masquerade but a woman dressed in black (can't remember what they call them again).

Can't possibly remember I was really young then...but ah, I sure remember how that gala felt in my mouth.

Never been to Nigeria (I'm a foreigner) but if I do visit Lagos I wanna see ajegunle.
