You know I am a full blooded Nigerian. I am not American in any way and I must always return home.

No matter how bad naija is, I would always return there Not because its better but because Its my home, Its my country.

I be hardcore ajepako. And I had fun as an ajepaks.
Hopping into Molue,
Standing in Molue,
Using my body to rub females standing in Molues grin grin grin grin,
Eating at roadside Bukas grin grin, Going to beer parlour and shekpe joint to make noise and argue,
Going to viewing centers,
Smuggling babes inside my house to avoid my parents seeing her grin grin grin,
Making animal-like sounds in the campus-Hostel at ife were my recollection of growing up.
And I enjoy it every bit of it.

correct man. cool cool

Na the women dey rub me to collect free "effects" from me.

Another thing Refusing to pay conductors in Molue buses was also the thrill.

Honeric those Iyana-Ipaja to oshodi Molue.

The trick is stand in front, when they ask you for money tell them someone would pay at the back. By the time the Molue conductor gets to the back we are already at "Ikeja along" and he discovers nobody wan pay for me.

By the time he comes back to ask me I pick a fight by the time the fight settle down we are already at ladipo/Bolade.
If he wants to start a fight tell him "You sabi Sir-kay? Na my friend. In every area theres always a Sir-kay who is a bully.

TIPS: Dont try this during peak traffic hours because you would still be at Iyana Ipaja when the conductor would throw you out.

Our own neighbourhood transformer is the worst i have seen.
It has no cover and my neighbours used to carry a long bamboo stick to hit it when there's low voltage.
The shyte blows like 5 times a week and those corrupt NEPA officials would ask everyone to contribute to bring a new one.

I also hate land phones in Lagos.
FFS, you cannot dial and get a connection to the next door neighbour.
The line jams and you can hear hundreds of strange voices of other people trying to connect. I enjoyed the disses though. grin

u're lucky your own even responds to bamboo sticks. Ours got blown a few days to WC 94, after mobilising a group to the NEPA office they replaced it with immediate alacrity. Well after the WC it was taken back and we had to endure 4 months of black out.

Which part of naija were u living? Our land phones worked just fine. you only needed to call NITEL every once a month.

Fights and getting beat up are normal runs for lagos boys

Quick secret: me and tkb were in rival gangs growing up but in 2005/2006 when we grew old we closed ranks.

Whilst I haven't, friends of mine have. Some of em' have even gone as far tapping those poor women's backsides and grabbing their bobbies


In those postures, you would be praying for the Molue to enter gallop and your reaction would be exagerrated. I know someone who grabbed a girls boobs trying to get his balance after Molue enter gallop.

See curses that day. grin grin grin grin

It responds to bamboo sticks but it's risky as well too.

Ikeja. . . . . .The load was just too much for the exchange to bear.
Calling anyone on landfone and connecting was a miracle. . .

Gerraway, I can proudly say we paid ours, we are not like that grin. I was the one always going there to pay. That was even the defining thing that made me annoyed, you pay but you don't get what you paid for. tongue
