Difference Between House Numbering System In Nigeria And USA. by Nuel25846(m): 11:24pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
When oyibo people describe a location,
they
simply say,
"The place is about a mile and a half,
north-
west or 300 metres away from Greenville park."
You actually know where you're going.
.
But in Naija, our house numbering system
can't
be trusted. You may find house number 43 in
between
house number 5 and 6. Moreover, we
know
nothing about miles and metres.
So when some of you want to describe your
location, you'll be like,
"If you reach Mbonu crescent, you will see
one
big gutter. Jump the gutter and corner
left. Do as if you're going right but be
cornering left
small small.
Be going down down... straaaaaight!
Until you will see one place they're selling
akamu in front of one Redeemed church; opposite where they used to throwey
dustbin.
Just stand there and flash me. I will come
outside." 3 Likes |
