Only in Lagos was my 504's petrol hose removed in heavy traffic - the car stopped right in front of the culprits and they drained my pockets while trying to 'help' resolve the problem before they eventually 'discovered' that I'd run outta fuel. They had collected all I had so they gave me 20naira to go buy petrol. The same way only in Lagos will you be happy that you successfully got some money back from a police officer . . after bribing him! Only in Lagos! |

only in lagos can this happen. Iya Funke, my friend lives opposite the house of a man who has a room, two wives and fours children. I didn’t believe her until one evening when the two wives started fighting over who ate the bread on the table. People tried to settle the misunderstanding. I was shocked when the first wife started abusing her husband and the second wife, saying that she has been the one feeding the family for sometime. The man is a commercial motorcyclist by profession (Okada rider) while the first wife is a petty trader, the second wife is a full time house wife. I was shocked to the marrows of my body when I learnt that the guy actually has two wives in one room. I even thought he had three children until I discovered that they are four children.I only see things like these in Nollywood movies until I saw it live!!! “What manner of man is this”, I asked myself rhetorically. On my way home, I kept asking myself different questions, most of which I have not found an answer till date. Does this kind of thing still happen in this age and time? How do they have sex when the children are also there in the room? When he is having sex with the first wife under the watchful eyes of the second wife, what is her reaction?(At least,there would be no way they would be having sex that the other person won't know) How will the man meet up with his responsibilities of taking care of the children with the meager sum he makes from his commercial motorcycle? What kind of children would come out of that kind of marriage? Is the man not ashamed at all? (I even saw him recently)…why are the two women so blind in love (or lust) that made the two women agree to stay in the one room with him?i mean, what manner of a man is this! 1 Like |

ONLY IN LAGOS U'LL SEE DEAD BODY ON THE STREETS AND IT REMAINS THERE FOR DAYS That was old Lagos. When last did you personally witness this? ONLY IN LAGOS U SEE TOUTS ROBBING SOMEONE AND OTHERS WILL BE GOING ABT THEIR BIZ AS IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING Sad but true. Reason been his goons are nearby watching to break the heads of would be saviors save the saviors are gun totting policemen or army men. Yet believe it has drastically reduced. Oshodi & Mushin used to be notorious for this. Any ways u must be street yourself to waka for Lagos streetz as every 1 wan hustle u. ONLY IN LAGOS U SEE A WELL DRESSED SAME MAN/WOMAN/BOY/GIRL, JUMP DOWN FROM A MOVING VEHICLE. Damn impatient lot. Yet many times, the driver tells you there's no bus stop there yet he freely stops to carry passengers @ the same spot but is reluctant to let them disembark freely. weird behavior though seeing broken bones especially of older people takes time to heal. ONLY IN LAGOS THAT U WILL BE MOVING ON THE ROAD U SEE SOME PPLE/ADULTS OOO BY THE ROAD SIDE, STOOPING AND DEFEACATING, AND PPLE WOULD JUST BE PASSING AS IF ITS NOTHING. SOME MEN ALSO BATH BY THE ROADSIDE WITH THEIR 3RD LEG DANGLING AND THEY CARE LESS Depends on your part of Lagos though. Talk of pedestrian bridges, e.g the one at oshodi and cele, the human traffic/hold-up on the bridge atimes will be such that u'll fear the bridge might collapse. Which one don collapse? What do you expect from a looting elite who shunned from building up Lagos and by extension most of the Southern Nigeria [incl East and South South] infrastructure because of God knows what. I agree that weather contributed a part in the type of roads down south but how come most roads down south are good death traps? Anyway, construction of new bridges are ongoing @ those 2 spots you mentioned. [size=18pt]Only in Lagos do conductors join man and woman together to go sort out their change[/size] 'Holy' money-matrimony fit result courtesy of Lagos conductor A lady i helped open her email account said she met her husband in the bus in response to Yahoo's security questions. [size=18pt]Only in Lagos do people start a quarrel with 'Do you know who I am?'. How am I supposed to?[/size] What's Lagos without shakara? U too go display your swagger- gosh I hate that word. |
