Dear lagosians,

Please pardon the grammatic errors.

Being born and bred in the north, I am conditioned to a certain societal behaviour that the first time I went to Lagos, interacting and seeing the people was a bit of a cultural shock to me. I've travelled to many states in the North and few in the south and almost all seemed just about the same as home.

But the first time I visited Lagos a few years ago I had many experiences that made it seem as if was in another country entirely. I'll share a few notable ones.

Please note that I'm not looking for trouble, I'm just giving a honest opinion

It was as if everyone seemd to converse harshly over very simple transactions. One would think they know each other from somewhere.
Many people in the public seemed angry as a default mode. I wondered why.

I boarded a bus to computer village and a primary school kid later joined and was later exchanging very hot words with the conductor who was a very muscular guy over some trivial amount. I watched with interest and it got to a point where I feared for the little guy because If that conductor decided to as much as slap the small boy, there won't be much left. But somehow the conductor calmed down as if he had met a worthy opponent. That boy seemed to me as if he had super powers.

I joined another bus and a fight broke out between the conductor and a passenger. Both of whom were muscular. None would hear sorry. The fight got so bad that the both ended with broken faces and the passenger got a rock and shattered off both side mirrors of the bus. Since I intended to join night bus home, I kukuma dropped and joined okada (it was legal then) which was much more expensive but worth it. I don't know how they ended.

I noticed many young people are muscular body builders. I wonder why.

I was walking on a street at computer village and a guy started threatening and commanding me to come over. At first, I thought he was speaking to someone else when I realised there was no one around me, and he made it clear he was referring to me. Till today, I don't know what confidence made me to keep walking. That was how I escaped O.

Everyone seems to be in hell of a rush.
I even said that if rapture takes place, Lagos would not know anything had happened for two weeks.

But Behind all these seemingly negative atmosphere, I discovered that lagosians are very kind people. Always willing to help.
As a stranger, I found it difficult to find places and routes. But almost anyone you ask is very willing to show you directions. I've had instances where people left their comfort to walk me to places where they gave me directions. Very welcoming set of people to strangers I tell you.

All these mixed experiences made me say that Lagosians are Indeed a very strange people.

Many other things I've experienced at Lagos over my other subsequent visits, but Lagos has remained strange to me.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, I'm just a fellow countryman who wants to better know my country.

My question to you guys is, why is Lagos the way it is?

Is there anything I missed or misunderstood about Lagos?

Thanks
Hmmmmm, myeti man in Lagos. Welcome on board!

"This Is How He Celebrated You. Please Rescue Him" - Man Begs Buhari As He Shares Photo Of Aid Worker Abducted By Boko Haram Making The 4+4 Re-election Sign

A Nigerian photographer and humanitarian, Mohammed Chiroma has begged President Buhari to rescue Abubakar Garba Idris, an employee of United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), who was abducted by Boko Haram terrorists along Maiduguri/Damaturu road in Borno on January 2, 2021, IgbereTV reports.

Taking to Twitter, Chiroma shared a photo of a happy Idris, fondly called Aloma, making the Buhari's 4+4 re-election sign during Buhari's visit to Maiduguri.

Sharing the photo, Chiroma wrote;

Nigerian Christians sef..

The Governor with better understanding gave a factual claim, you in Abuja smoking cocaine is getting sentimental..

Insurgency is a big business and everyone is in it cashing out, not quite long a French national was apprehended among captured Boko haram members, investigation revealed that he is a mine and IED expert.., Turkish Airlines staffs have been accused of aiding Boko Haram logistics, helicopters have been sighted several times making arms drop off to the Boko Haram camp , are the pilots also screened and only Muslims selected

Bornu , Yobe and Adamawa has a large numbers of Christians, so what our holier-than-thou Nigerian Christians like Saint Fani Kayode want to tell us is not a single Christian is part of Boko Haram Drug running, Arms supply, logistics, ICT, information gathering and other aspect of the multi million dollars terrorism business




.
Wheelchair philosopher, obviously you don't understand the intrigues of political gladiators. I strongly support FFK's view. To what end will a Christian be part of a senseless Islamic group.

undecidedWonder they say will never end. A lady has taken to courage to tell a marriage counselor about how confused she is about about the father of her unborn child. According to her, she has been sleeping with her husband father hence she can't truly tell if her child belongs to her husband or his father.
