It is only in Nigerian airports that you will see toilet cleaners permanently
positioned inside the toilets and patronising the users for tips while offering
such services as issuing toilet paper, water bottles etc. The gender doesnt even
matter as women are to be found in male toilets watching as the guys are facing
the urinals and shaking their thing.


You never go club for europe be that.

The post is about airport not night club

IN LAGOS, HUMAN BEINGS SIT ON TOP OF A MOVING TRAIN TO GET TO THEIR DETINATIONS ESP ALONG THE ABULE-EGBA-IKEJA- OSHODI AXIS.

SORRY, NO PIC AVAILABLE.

But this happens in India as well, There's even a video on the internet of one indian guy who died after being electrocuted by high tension wires while sitting atop a moving train!

Back to topic,

To be a Condutor in Lagos You must be strong and physically fit!
The average Conductor gets into a fight at least once a day!

7. Only in Lagos you willl your mechanic give you a list of spare parts he wants to buy without including transportation and finally charges you N1,000 for his own job. You thinking he's a nice guy not knowing you have been murdered in the spare part that is originally 5k and he told you its 12k). Same apply to carpenter, electrician etc. Buy materials yourself and just pay them off

Though my list may sound boring now, I used to be real Lagosian back when I go on the molue and danfo buses daily and visited some real hood. Bariga, mushin, oshodi, ajegunle, mile2, ketu, isale eko, iyana paja and things. Now I'm more routine to certain area. Police in those places are so hardcore too. They can shoot you for N20. Haven't be too real places in years or stood at bus stop. I miss living lagos like a lagosian but dont pray I go back to molue, okada and stuff sha.
