List Of People To Avoid In Lagos For New Comers. by Ournaija: 2:01pm On May 07, 2015 |
Lagos is home for a all kids of characters. For new comers to get the best Lagos has to offer, here are the lists of people to avoid having your sanity intact. You can add your. The Danfo Drivers. You must avoid this set of guys as you drive along Lagos roads. They are one of the numerous entertainers that make Lagos fun. These guys believe that they are above the law. I don’t know where they obtain the authority to park and drop passengers at any point on the express way. Blocking the express way while waiting for a passenger who is mile away is a norm to them. You are not allowed to pass unless their buses are filled. Allow them display their madness and waka pass jejely. If you dare confront them with your vehicle, be sure that your vehicle will get re-painted with Lagos colour for free. The Area Boys The Oba cannot claim ownership of Lagos more these guys. They are government pikin and have special license to collect tolls from every commercial vehicle that ply the road. Every bus stop has its own Area boys. If you want to know if they have special license to operate, try and collect your own tolls from a bus stop. The Police Yes the police, you heard me. They may be your friend in Ekiti, Anambra or Abuja but not in Lagos. Police is just a common hustler in Lagos. They occupy an enviable position in list of people to avoid in Lagos. If you want to maintain your sanity avoid this folks. Try as much as you can to settle all your disputes without involving them. Having all your vehicular and personal papers intact will save you from their traps. Falling into their traps can deplete your life savings. The Omo Oni Iles These are the real land owners. If you like buy your land directly from Fashola himself, you will never be able to develop that piece without settling these boys. As much as you can, do the needful and avoid their troubles. They can send you packing if you dare them. Army and Police may not be always around to sort you on this. The Scammers These are the most dangerous on the list. They come in different guise. From religion to selling of fake products. They are in every bus stops, markets, mosques, churches, streets, etc. The list is endless, I have been in some buses where merchants advertise pharmaceutical products that can cure everything including cancer. News of fake pastors and imams duping Lagosians will always make headlines. Ask PM news for more details. 24 Likes 2 Shares |
