9. If you are a girl and want good and long sex, meet an agbero.

That was how Tamuno came complaining to us that his girlfriend, LeeBari, is flirting with Mike who controls Eleme junction pit. We advised him to up his game. Sadly, he couldn't meet up with his gfs sexual demands because Mike consistently raised the bar for him. He finally lost LeeBari to Mike.

meaningless comment.

Poverty is like punishment for a crime you didn't commit." "In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of." "An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor...it's nothing

Poverty may be self inflicted. So, your definition is not correct

"Most of...", Begs the question, Where the hell were your primary & secondary schools located biko??

Lol at okokomaiko .

AutoJoshNG:


If you don’t know what an Agbero is, just take a bus to Oshodi or Mushin bus stop. Then look out for one black guy with red eyes with stitches on his face and a neatly wrapped smoking white paper in between his two fingers.. Ask him who an Agbero is, but don’t tell him I sent you.

In as much as you may not like to see them, you surely  have to respect yourself around them. They torment the bus drivers, Okada riders and traders to the extent that they even torment themselves.

Out of curiosity, I made some enquiries about area boys and some of the findings are highlighted below.


1. Some earn more than bank workers:

Some executive Agberos earn as much as  some bank executives. Also, some of the lower level agberos earn more than some contract staff of banks. However, they don’t have much to show for it as they typically spend most of  their earnings  on “Orisirisi” meat, women and other mundane interest. At Bukas and restaurants, a typical order by them  is “Madam, give me N50 Amala and N2,500 meat”.



2. The police is their friend:

If you think the police is your friend, then try report an Agbero to them. The matter may just turn on your head. You know why? Some of the "men in black" are on the payroll of Agberos. They even have specific days and time they go to their parks to collect their usual “Roger”.



3. They run shifts and have off-days:

Surprisingly,  these guys maintain a time-table like factory workers, and they stick to it. They don’t go to work on their off-days.



4. They live far from their place of work:

You would think every Agbero’s house is just a stone throw from the park or bus stops that they operate from. But on the contrary, many of them commute a long way to work. I encountered one who leaves around Ikotun but works in Surulere. The funny thing is, they get to work early. Sometimes as early as 5 AM.



5. They always have injury marks and stitches:

That’s their trademark and they boast about it. It reminds them of their escapades of how many bottles they have bursted.



6. Most of them were Mechanics:

Most of them were mechanics before they changed occupation. I remember a mechanic in my area while growing up. He was lazy and could not cope with the job. He quickly converted to an okada rider and later metamorphosed into a full blown area boy.



7. They have informants:

They are always the first to know anything happening in the area. Your neighbor might even be their snitch. You can’t even sneak a truck of sand into your house without them showing up.



8. Most of them die trying to get rich:

They keep trying but it is obviously more blessed to give than to receive. They are limited to just collect without adding value. To make matters worse, bulk of that money is cursed money and it vaporises into thin air like a candle in the wind. However, a few eventually get rich and even get traditional titles or political appointments.



Let’s hear from you in the comment section and don’t forget to mention what you like or dislike about area boys.

You are correct.. I remember when i lost my wallet around a park in ibadan, i was advised to see the park chairman and explain to him what happened.. I eventually had an opportunity to see the chairman two days after (sincerly speaking they have an organized structure and protocols are truly observed ) the chairman was very nice and i can remember him offering me refreshment while i told him what had happened to me.. ( I had no appetite for drinks so i politely thanked him but he insisted i should take it home) he collected my phone number and promised he would call me but i should call him the following day to remind him... True to his words i got my wallet back some days after with all cash gone but my ATM and id card was intact and returned. .. He said they eventually found it on the floor

Agbero even get structure, wahala dey o, bikonu lol

aaronson:
They like whistling to call somebody or like saying "ace'.

They just so good at abusing people's parents e.g Omo iyalaya anybody, Ma foju baba eh etc but when they friendly with you, you hear, Omo iya mi.

They make the Yoruba language enjoyable to listen to. I so love Yoruba language.

It is actually not ace more like 'ehs wobi'

agadez007:
