About few weeks ago, I was coming from my friends place in mushin. I was going towards iyana isolo to take a bus then a masquerade approached me. I wasn't shocked because the experience wasn't new to me and I grew up in the area. Reaching my front he said in his masquerade cracked voice, "fun mi lowo". I was about to give him money but I noticed something familiar about his voice and I paused.. He then said again "fun mi lowo now fine boy" then I knew who it was. It was this guy from the street where I used to stay back then. So I told him I don't have money. Now he changed to his normal voice saying, guy na me orifere now, give me make I dey go people don dey pass. Then I said guy I know say na u but I no get change here and he said bring am make I give u change. When I looked around and I noticed we were already causing a scene, you know as Nigerians dey look people. I said guy I go give u later when u no be masquerade.
I left him and went to the bus stop to take a bus..

I have always doubted that the people behind those costumes are normal human beings but I guess this is a way of confirmation for me.
