LAGOS IS A GREAT STATE 1

In my line of work, I have been to Lagos many times, either to see a site location, to buy vehicles or building materials or to negotiate one deal or the other. I must say I have enjoyed my travels, but I enjoy Lagos on a very different level.

And so I found myself in Bariga in my quest to purchase something. I arrived Lagos the previous evening and spent the evening among rowdy brothers who all wanted me to stay in their own houses. After a lot of talk and laughter, I went home with a cousin brother who was supposed to take me to the market the next morning.

We took off in the morning, and we chose to ride in commercial buses. I found something intriguing, we entered up to 3 buses before we got to our final destination. Right from the first one, there were issues. Long lines of traffic meant that we were going very slow. LASTMA and road safety trying to enforce the laws as they understand.

The real drama started on the second bus, our driver tried to pull out of a bus stop without watching out for oncoming motor bikes from behind, and narrowly missed knocking down 3 men on a bike, the bike had to swerve at the last second to avoid a collision, then all hell broke loose.

The bike wavered a bit and stopped some distance in front of us, the bike driver dropped the bike, I mean, laid it flat on the middle of the road and what happened next surprised me. The 3 young men from the bike were racing towards our bus in full speed while screaming all forms of invectives, grabbed the driver by the throat and ready to beat him, the conductor was begging and speaking fluently.

To my shock, about eight other young men that were sitting in the bus stop before all rushed out and joined in the melee, everyone was shouting at the same time and the situation was very rowdy. Every window had a man speaking into the bus as if they were cursing the driver. What my guide told me was "put your phone in your pocket o"

After sometime, the matter calmed down after the driver begged them.

I was still wondering about all these in the 3rd bus when we ran into the touts along the road, they were about 6 of them waiting on a busy bus stop, 2 came to the driver and asked for payment, he told them he had paid. Without saying a word, they went to the back of the danfo and removed the back boot cover, (that section where the rear glass is) and carried it into the bus stop and waited. Our journey had to stop again for another round of shouting and settlement. After about 5 minutes, they paid and drove off with their back cover replaced.

Innocent me, I even thought that was the end, I was totally wrong. About 10 meters up the road, some stern looking policemen stood in front of the bus and asked the driver why he stopped 10 metres back there, the drivers explanation about the agberos didn't work, he was pushed into the passenger seat while a policeman entered the drivers seat and commandeered the bus away, on their way to the police station.

Just like that?

We had to beg to be let off to alight from the bus, and that was how we joined the 4th bus to where we were going.

I was left speechless. None of these 3 incidents would have happened in Enugu. But it's a different location with a different rule. I don't know if I can ever live in Lagos, I told my brother

Lagos bu nnukwu obodo


My time there was nothing short of fun. I look forward to going back

Milking this Godwin maduka is a task that's uncompleted. How rich is this guy that this Alex guy wants to keep the tap running steadily

EagleSquare1:
Well, El-Rufai has said he is used to fighting his battles alone. And he usually does. He took the National Assembly head on at various times, especially when he accused principal officers of both chambers of demanding bribe from him to be cleared for the position of minister when his name was forwarded by President Obasanjo. In summary, as a result of his usual brushes with the National Assembly they voted and banned him from public service for life. Today, he is a public servant. An accidental one, though, by his own words. Despite his shortcomings, he is my hero public servant.

is this guy is in PDP,he will attract more sympathy.

BTW APC is a total failure

Rickyrick300:
Even if he gives the world all the money he has, Does it still mean 500m people won’t sleep with hunger? No!

you are saying a different thing altogether. The initial question was, how does he make the money cause I don't think it's his musical career

spyder880:
Ok, let me reduce the bar a little.

do your thing. Man needs to raise the bar and work harder and smarter.


Good things abound in Nigeria. If you go to Nairaland frontpage,na only herdsmen and rape stories. Make we use here dey get hope

spyder880:

this thing you're doing is not good oh. Some of us are doing kobo kobo project.

Many like me never even start. Pepper us small na

BluntTheApostle:
So, because a few people are buying cars with 43 million, then 43 million is no big deal?

Do you know that half of Nigeria's population live in abject poverty?

Then, there are many more who suffer relative poverty.

My brother, 43 million naira is a big deal to at least 70% or more of Nigerians.

Even in the United States, only few Americans have savings to the tune of 100k dollars.

100k dollars is a big deal anywhere in the world.

I just dey laugh really.

At 500ml people will sleep today without having any meal

Rickyrick300:
The Information you are getting from the Net is not wrong pls, Stop confusing us. 100k ain’t nothing to him

see man. The inequality in this world is mind-blowing. Check UN stats or world bank and you will see how badly this world is made. 99% of this world will live and die without being a millionaire

spyder880:
Like these........

you came prepared to pepper everyone today

thatthickgurl:
Let me just start from season 3 then

and you can't understand a single thing

Pilopher:
Its. Better not to have children than to have and not be able to take care of them cause thats your responsibility towards God.
But abortion is the worst of them all.

no sin is worse than involving an innocent child into the your wickedness.

Some people who're armed robbers today is because of their parents. What can be worse than that

rowland545:
were the fvck did u get this ur data's from..

Do u know wat 80% of the world is

this is America. With her large and developed economy

Imagine what the rest of the world is like especially for a place like Africa.

Let me blow your mind further, the 1% richest folks are richer than all the rest combined

emrain:
Flush away the foetus. Bringing an unplanned child into a family wallowing in poverty is pure wickedness.

In fact, poor people have no business having more than two children. One is usually enough, but that one might be a girl child, and we know how Nigerians rate girls.

poor people have no business bringing a child into this world

It's a crime against humanity to drag someone into your poverty

KendrickAyomide:
Hahaha. you dull die. 43 million naira wey people take they buy motor for nigeria na u they talk say na big deal. Poverty don do you strong thing

I just dey laugh you really. 80% of the world population will never have that balance until they die

The screenshot is for a developed economy like America. Imagine what it's like for Africans and others

KristaPretty:
Very welcome

I just went through your profile and I can say you will have difficulties in your relationship with people. They will be hate you for being too honest and equate it to being insulting

KristaPretty:

Wish2Die:

I'm just giving you an idea of what Nigerians are doing

joyousmother2016:
Exactly but the front door I see there is quiet small for such a gigantic house. I would have prefer a gigantic double door. Let's see how it goes. I wish he will do a video of the house so we can see the outcome.

if him no do the video, I will go around Anambra looking for the house. I have been watching videos of houses on YouTube, this one won't pass me by

Thugnificent:
It's the conversion rate playing tricks in your brain. He's not even an B list rapper sef

it's not the conversion rate.

80% of the world population won't make $100k savings until they die. That's how huge the money is

Yes oh. We Nigerians feel same way about this administration. We thought what can be worse than Jonathan until una shock us

Thugnificent:
he's a rapper

rapper gịnị?


Is he the only rapper. Do you have any idea what $100k is like anywhere in this world

His money his spending.


My own be say, how're they making this money

Pilopher:
See what's
You are saying from your mouth I your mother had aborted you may be you would have not been here typing h
This shit

so if am aborted, what's going to happen. Won't the world move forward abi the people that have been aborted stopped us from moving on.

You just want to breed humans for your own selfish interests and guilt. The children you're bringing into this world didn't ask you to do it. If you're afraid of going to hell if you abort, don't have sex so as to make heaven

EgunMogaji2:
As a foreigner of sorts it’s all very confusing to me.

You’ll see people infatuated 24/7 about leaving the country but then you turn around and you’ll see fantastic mansions and complexes sprouting all over the place.

someone met me the other day and was enquiring about iron doors. He told me he has a twenty two (22) flats building under construction and every door will be iron.

In this same Nnewi where everyone is crying there's no money. Someone is doing twenty two flats. This guy is using okada to move around

If you can't take care of the child, financially, emotionally and psychologically. Kukuma abort

If someone was aborted earlier, Nigeria wouldn't be like this

EgunMogaji2:
Thanks for sharing Sir. It came in useful as I’m nearing this stage.

The ones below are for dollar high earners like Hajj

one thing is obvious, with Nigerians crying about bad economy and no money,many people still want good things and are willing to spend money on them.

When he was abroad, how many people had access to him.

I don't have any problem with Nnamdi Kanu until he ordered his foot soldiers to release criminals into Igbo land and started burning police stations and killing security operatives.

This guy wanted to turn Igbo land to a desolate island while enjoying the benefits of organized society.


You don't fight Buhari by burning your house. Buhari is in Abuja but you're burning Igbo land. Same land we're trying to rebuild from the war and asking our sons and daughters to come back and invest.


The insane amount of crimes that has skyrocketed now will take years to tame.

He goofed badly and should answer for his crimes.

You can not associate with APC and be same. The bible warned us about meddling with unbelievers.


A state that mannequins can't be displayed is said to be a tolerant home.

What are you smoking

People hate this guy because he's over blunt. He doesn't hide his feelings. He talked about withdrawing his child from the public school and they attacked him.

You people are forgetting that his child is putting other kids at risk.

If you don't watch the interview with open mind and wait for excerpt from our sensational journalists, you will keep dragging him.


On the issue of sacking public workers, it's a known fact that our public service needs overhauling. We don't need that much workers. Go to their offices on Wednesday afternoon and see how irresponsible they are. Ten people doing the job of one person and yet zero efficiency. Trust me, Nigeria needs an idealist to move this country to the right path. Lack of discipline is hampering our progress as a nation with everyone doing what they want when they want it.

Go look at countries like China and Singapore. Study what made them great today.

Enjoy your Sunday

Classickj:
No be everybody like sweet things

I know there are sadists


I'm hoping to avoid them

I use Netflix , that's why I said if I don't like it after season 1, I quit.

at season one, you're still trying to grab what's going on in the series and that's why I said you need to watch season two at once
