Its only in naija that NEPA officials will first rain curses in advance on the whole town or state before disrupting power supply cos they will surely be cursed after cutting power supply. |

LESSON 1: when an area boy offers to help you, accept with both hands This happened to a friend of mine sometimes ago.He was driving back from work when he had a falt tyre on carter bridge. He stopped to change it . After he removed the flat tyre and brought out the spare, some area boys walked up to him offering to help. He told them not to worry that he would be fine. Lo and behold they carried both the spare tyre and and flat tyre, threw them into the sea and walked away. My guy was just lookin at them as they walk away not believin what he just saw. in Lagos anitin can happen |

I've only visited once. The traffic was astounding, It took 2 hours to get to the airport. I think Lagos has loads of character, all the taxi drivers I met were very friendly unlike in Abuja, where they all appear greedy. My brother thought it was too chaotic, which I really didnt mind. What I found really fascinating was the fact that almost every cab driver complained abt something, but later said he couldnt imagine living anywhere else. |
