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. angry 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.

My brothers, Lagos is a wonderful place to be, I love what our governor is doing but am sorry enough has not been doing for the problem caused by this so call area boys.

Pls. help ask our dear governor what he is doing to or what he is going to do to this areas boys. Dis days every bus stop you get to their are area boys collecting money by force from the drivers and if they don't give my brother wahala don start be dat. They will start destorying things on that bus.

This are things that can only happen in Lagos. Pls. let us ask our governor what he is doing towards eradicating this area boys on Lagos roads.
The funnest thing is that Police men and LASMA boys will be watching them and they will not do anything. People, I thing I have started thinking that this guys work together with the law enforcement agents and LASMA. Or what do you guys think. embarassed embarassed embarassed

only in lagos would you find more than 4 different branches of the same church on the street. only in lagos you board a bus to a particular destination but the bus driver end up not getting to the destination and would want everyone to stop at his own self created last bus stop.

ONLY IN LAGOS WILL YOU SEE THIS INSCRIPTION " SHIT BUSINESS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS"

ONLY IN LAGOS WILL SEE MAMA PUT COOKING SOUP WITH BROOM!!!! shocked

DURING THE MOLUE ERA , ONLY IN LAGOS WILL SEE 44 SITTING AND 99 STANDING!! - reminds of one drama that happen on my way to  oshodi during the molue era, on woman that was standing sandwiched between two men was complaining that something is "stabbing" her behind and she was feeling uncomfortable, she told the man standong in her front to adjust a little so she can move forward, cos the guy standing behing her was too close for her comfort and she is kinda feeling something hard is "poking her behind.the guy in the standing in her front refused!! y ,becos he too was enjoying the the "push from the woman's "man-chester" and the woman is naturally endowed in both department.
she was telling the guy behind her to shift back a little, for all guy care ,she may talking to a statue cos the guy behind her was sweating profusely and still glued to the woman as if his life depends on it, any time the molue jolts the vibration causes the both of them to follow suit, both men were enjoying the ride!!!, until the woman now shouted out that something is "shooking" her and extricated her self some from both men , lo and behold the guy behind the woman had a BIG  ERECTION!!!! shocked
IT was so glaring that the guy could not hide it ,everybody now knew y the guy was sweating and did not bither to move back when the woman told him to shift a little, he was having the ECSTACY OF HIS LIFE!!,
meen i tire for lagos drama

Re: Common 'madness' In Lagos? by pinokio(m): 8:43pm On Dec 10, 2009
happened 2 me 2day; while trying to make a u turn in front of eko hotel a trailer carrying some heavy looking rocks rushed into the space behind me, leaving me stuck and unable to conclude my 3 point turn. in the spirit of lagos "shakara" i jumped down from my vehicle and started yelling at the trailer driver to move back, only for the trailer driver and his three "assistants" in the trailer to also start raining curses on me in yoruba while hurriedly coming down from the trailer to meet me. i did a quick assessment of the situation and immediately jumped back into my car and brought my phone out like i had a call while i made d best of the little space behind me and i managed to escape, but not until they had taken turns at banging on my car door and windows until i thought they were actually going to break somethin. all this happened in front of the lastma and traffic policeman at the spot. wetin una go call dat on now?
