MuttleyLaff: Iiii do not quite get what you're saying, but, yes anyhow. Those are all my label plaques. Here all along, I used to think you were Chinese associated with Naija If I could choose my race, I would have been an African-American. With my personality and all intact oh. And being Nigerian, surprisingly, would have been my second option still. |

Ofemmanu1:Am thinking you just want to catch cruise here...u know u might not be able to afford that car if you were in Lagos and even if you cud u may have no savings. I always knew this after growing up in Lagos if I have to work for the government there will be no point staying in cities like Lagos or port Harcourt. My colleague that we got the fg job together influenced his posting to Lagos after few years he his still living in a room in bariga without a car and no savings while I live comfortably in a 3 bedroom ensuite with study, laundry and store here in Jos plus a 2011 Camry sports to enjoy cool life plus am married with a kid and he is not married and come to think we earn the same salary. 2 Likes |

bizzibodi: Lol. What part of Lagos did you visit... Lagos is NOT notorious for bad roads and dirty environments at all (yes, there are slums in every major city). Lagos has some of the best roads, structures, towns in the country (obviously). Depends on where you are... |

uboma:Don't mind ofemma.nu2 he is just catching cruise. My wife served in lokoja even though am from kogi but was born and raised in lag. I know places around NUJ close to the museum where we get better big size grilled catfish for as low as 1500 then in 2015/2016. same size of fish I pay around 3 to 4k for when she visits me in PH. so nairaland automatically edits of.ema.nu to Yoruba |

Ishilove:When in Rome, behave as the Romans. I can relate, as I used to shuttle between two countries. One was laid back lackadaisical and the other my original base is fast paced and moving. Whenever then, upon getting back to my base, I don't get told to fall in line and start behaving like the Joneses because they almost already are jostling me and bumping into me from me being walking as if I haven't a care in life whilst they are busy trying to get to work or some where. I too immediately "soji" myself and begin briskly going about my business |

I'm all kind of unaware about the club and all. The best race to be is Naija. Most AA are defo originally from somewhere on the West Africa coast, if not Naija sef Some would disagree with the bolded. But yeah, Africa is where AA roots are, so I have the base identity, even if it's only that... |

First of all, the conductor had no right to bud into the call - it was rude and not unlike conductors especially when they see you well dressed or looking like you would not like to be embarrassed. Majority, if not all of Lagos conductors are unreasonable. The system by which they determine fares and routes are mysterious, one cannot or should not attempt to reason it out, rather one must think like them (in terms of their greed) and try to outwit them. Back then coming from Ikeja under bridge to Maryland, they'd charge a flat NGN100 regardless of your dropping at police college, Customs, Country Club or Sheraton...initially I would argue and argue, eventually, they would drive past unless I paid them the full amount or I would walk back, and since a diva is not meant to be unladylike I soon learned a trick. I would sit close to the door as possible holding the reasonable amount (less the illegal 100 naira since I was not going that far), look out for anyone dropping off/being picked up at my desired stop, soon as they were about getting off or hopping in, I would alight same time as the entrant or the exiter, handing the Conductor my correct/justifiable(I am not going that far) fare at the same time. Of course, it didn't always work but, it did most of the time...why, 'cause, my rationale then was, the simple fact that my exit, opened an empty seat that could still be filled along the way meaning more could be made on my vacant seat before Maryland. Beyond that though, Nigerians can be so aloof and uncaring...had the op gotten some kind of corroboration, support, the unfairness of the fare, may have caused a rethink...many injustices in Lagos even ENDSARS are because no one gets enough support when they speak up... When you cannot mobilize collectively against day to day 'small small' oppressors, how then will you overcome oppressors in Government or uniform? 1 Like |

Ishilove: Nice storyline! I did enjoy reading and laughed through it alongside my wife but I did notice Jude Idada's description above in bold doesn't tally with the individual hooked by the conductor as displayed in the accompanying picture below. Er.. but then, it's Nairaland the dramaland. I can perfectly understand.

If the image of me being a foreigner or of mixed race help in any way: toor, carry it then . You can't see me and I'm not posting my picture. I didn't deny being a Nigerian oh. Abi you're getting me wrong? I dont have to be Marlian , in order to respect grace gift and/or talent Ahh. I see. So you think Naira Marley is talented. That's nyc. I think he is, too. He's just too good. And his beats, lyrics are always head-bursting, even though they can be too vulgar. Nothing beats the Naija spirit. Naija, in all its ramifications, are a blessed lot.
