Life In Lagos by Nobody: 6:07am On Jun 21, 2013
This Lagos ehn...

House expensive... Na 2 years payment...
Agent go collect fees...
Lanlord say caution money...
Utility money...

Transport expensive... You go even beg to enter
Traffic dey... You try borrow money buy car dem go spoil am. Worse if your parents borrowed you.

Employers are not smiling...
Tax on top everything...
Company go say come weekend... You must deliver naaw

Government sef go harass you...
Back pain, headache all year long...

No encouragement from anyone...
All na to pull you down...
No friends no trust...
Life is crazy...

You want to look good, want to be accepted...
We allow people to determine our lives...
We chew more than we can eat...

Lagos makes you happy and sad...
Life is crazy and Lagos makes it worse...
You get home 12pm just to change clothes...
Because one would leave 4am to avoid query...

Light no dey but PHCN fit use gen to print the bill...
Chai!!!

Do business naaw, government fit dismantle the place sef... Or you go buy fuel tire...

I'm currently in traffic thinking about my wife...
She is home alone, but I praise God each time I get to my house before 10:30 cos that's cool.

My back aches, yansh hurts.
Vehicles are moving at a speed only a snail can achieve...
You go dey drive you go sleep off, crash your car and you go still dey sleep after a big BANG!...
Na only Lagos that one fit happen...

Lagos in three years to come... Please visualize it. Have you even seen people on trains before?

Streets dey share transformer but for Ikoyi you go see a private home with one transformer...
You never see when streets dey take turns to have light...

This Lagos ehn...
I no fit talk am finish.
