Efemena_xy: I don't get it.

The title of your thread doesn't correlate with your post!

Your first time of what??

nicky4lif: But u got the message after reading it,?my first time in lagos.

Efemena_xy:

Yeah I got the message after reading through your post - but I read through your post expecting something entirely different (as I'm sure other readers will to).

Bottom line is, you leave your readers suspended, expecting something entirely different to have happened. Your present ending falls short of expectation and the anti-climax is a poor let-down.

nicky4lif: Well,I don't know what u were expecting to hear.I just felt like sharing my first experience in lagos nd that I just did.

Johnklein: thats just wat misconception abt lagos causes..
@op pls frm which city or village were u comin frm?

Efemena_xy:

Tell me something: did you write that piece up there as an entertainment, fictional piece? Or just to recount what happened to you?

If the former is the case, then take my comments as a bit of constructive criticism on how to improve your writing. If the latter is the case, then just ignore my comments.

Johnklein:

yea u are right, but lets over look dat

nicky4lif: My dear I didn't come to lagos from the village,I came from the city.just needed a change of environment.

ileobatojo: Lol OP, funny story! The fear of Lagos is the beginning of wisdom...or foolishness, depending on how you look at it.

You were indoors for a whole month? You probably broke a bone with those your James Bond moves! Sorry dear

Chillisauce: OP, very funny sh1t! Sorry o.

Lagos is one crazy place I don't like visiting. Most ppl are very harsh there. The environment is not friendly at all. Public TP is worse off. You just have to be extremely careful and smart. If you survive in lagos, you can survive anywhere.

nicky4lif: it was my heels.don't thing its the pushing.

Efemena_xy:

Yeah



Now that's funny!

ileobatojo:

No, didnt think it was the pushing either. Pretty sure it was some leg bone from you jumping in fear out of a moving bus.

nicky4lif: With ur question I know what u are implying but trust me,its not what u think.I'm not from the village direct,if u know what I mean#winks#

yellowpawpaw: I hate lagos with passion!
Will prefer to stay in ibadan and the neboring cities than lagos.
The pple r very harsh, public transport is a nightmare, everybody is always ready to shout any minute.
Too much stress.
U hardly get fresh (I mean fresh fruits) in Lagsidi. C the bananas, they r just not like the bananas I used to know.
Agberos everywhere.
Infact, I still don't know how pple manage everyday for that city.
The only hangout places r shoprites and that useless barbeach(one corner is brothel huts), another corner for cele pple.
No where to take kids to.
A city where one will prefer to leave his car in his house and enter public transport.
Overhyped city.

Efemena_xy:

My dear, it shouldn't matter jor. Forget people's general perception of living in the village.

Trust me, I prefer village life. The pace of life there is sooooooo leisurely slow, peaceful and the air free of pollutants.

If you've got the money, setting up in the village is akin to living in the countryside or better still, paradise on earth jare.

ayde: Lolz @ op's story.. , na JJC things jare.

Lagos life is just too hectic and stressful. Lived half of my life in Abuja and had to relocate to Lagos on job and marriage basis but 2years down the line and I'm still not used to the life here and have refused to get used to it!

How Lagosians live sanely in this insane enviroment, I still don't get it .
