FriedPlantain:
Aaaaaaah!!!

When you are in a heated arguement with another Lagosian especially conductors or those agberos and it looks very likely that a physical fight is on the way, just shout the word 'Aaaaaaah!' 3 times and end with by screaming the word 'Emi, emi, emi, wa ku leni!'
Say this and you would immediately notice a look of panic on the other guy's face.

This one got me laughing wella. But you got to mind the kind person or area, else the hunter becomes the hunted.
