To be honest what Lagosians call being smart is just criminal minded. You just have to be criminally minded to survive in Lag!

When we dey cross expressway with james bond skills everyday,
When we dey pass thru window or open the booth to enter 'danfo', (i remember the times we do that in OAU, when we dey struggle for bus to go town, people still dey for door dey struggle when we don occupy the whole back seat, the look on their faces was unforgettable).
When we dey run from Mopol wey dey catch roger every evening
When Omota/conductor wan beat u up at the slightest provacation,
Wen everyday den dey break your baf/bucket wen una dey struggle for water for tap.
Wen u dey hold ur pocket, watch your back as u dey waka for road.
When gbomo gbomo dey find how e go take carry you go do juju since when u be 5.

You gats to wake up to survive for lag.

Yeah, Lagosians are quite ignorant.
To the average Lagosian, once you're from Abia, you're from ABA.
Once you're from 'North' (even if it's Benue), you're HAUSA grin

But you've got to give it to these guys, they ARE street-smart; and boy, do they know how to have fun.

Don't mind the OP, maybe he as dull himself when he came to lagos.
Lagos is just like London or Napoli New york where u need to be very smart and wise otherwise the pple will take u for granted.
I remember a day in computer village while i going somebody just whispered at my back and i mistakenly looked back, mean while i wasn't the person the guy was calling, after looking back he said i should come and i went to meet he and  he almost collect all my money with he ordinary mouth cos he saw me with new phone, he said he will call his boyz to collect tht phone from me pointing to some pple saying he is wit gun, it was only because i looked back tht was what put me into the mess,

Guy u need to use ur brain and energy in lasgidi, now tell me how will someone tht got his money without any ease will not wise up or think he is smarter.

Big up to lagosian and lasgidi as a whole

Re: Lagosians Feel They Can Outsmart Everyone by Novice1(m): 5:42pm On Feb 28, 2012
Unfortunately in Lagos/Most of Nigeria these days, smart = dishonest, lying, ready to grab undue advantage, ability to take wht is not yours by conning, swindling, and ability to steal govt/ corporate funds undetected.

ArQueBusieR:

There's nothing captivating about Lagos IMO.

Guy park well jor, Lagos is the only cosmopolitan city in Naija.

Eko Akete Ilu ogbon (Lagos, land of the smart ones).

True but its not ignorance, its just dat we don't give a rats-ass about anytin outside the Lagos borders.

Eyah see beef,lagos is †ђξ new york of nigeria,even ur capital abuja wishes to be lagos,lagosians are not just smart but unique,orientation is diffrnt frm anybody in any other state , I†̥ is a proven fact my people ,
Re: Lagosians Feel They Can Outsmart Everyone by rman: 5:58pm On Feb 28, 2012
I remembered when I was still young and my cousins think you must be dumb if you didn't grow up in Lagos
They later realised me and my siblings that attended schools outside Lagos are way smarter (common entrance waec and general decision making later proves this).

Lying, taking your parents money, stealing friends games, having boyfriends and girlfriends , cheating in exams, inflating school fees, entering buses and not paying etc are not sign of smartness. Real smart people Know what they want in life and how to get it legitimately.

Another funny thing about Lagosians is the wrong impression that it is the only beautiful place in Naija. The conditions under which most Lagosians live is to tally inhuman. Jos, Kaduna, Calabar, Enugu, Uyo, Ilorin are beautiful places with better living conditions than Lagos.

Lagos is a fast paced environment that keeps you on alert all the time. Thats good but it doesnt equate to being SMART

Lagos is bound to be like that because it's our number one city, same thing all over the world with first cities but I've moved around and realized it's only a myth.
