What Is It With Lagos Bus Conductors And A Particular Tone Of Voice? by Nobody: 12:19pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
I have been to about 20 states across Nigeria, and all the voices of buses conductors in the respective states sounded as their's... But once I got to Lagos, all the voices of the bus conductors and sometimes drivers over here sounds weirdly deep and the same. Like there's some contractions of some sort in their throats. I just couldn't phatom with why it is so. Pls who's got any idea as to why their voices sounds the same? 1 Like |

emmyrichie: I have been to about 20 states across Nigeria, and all the voices of buses conductors in the respective states sounded as their's... Lol...That's y its lagos. D thicker d voice, the easier it is to collect money from passengers. Its a mechanism not limited to conductors. Almost all street histlers in Lagos use that voice to intimidate people, thinking it produces immediate compliance. Welcome to lagos 3 Likes |

It is established that the huskier the voice , the more the agberos and passengers fear you. Even the ladies on the street covet it. To get it, all the street persons smoke and drink the voice condensing stuffs at least around every mealtime. However, if the voice refuses to get condensed, they fake it but once they get pained on their larynx, they revert to the status quo. |
