Editorial - Lagos, My Home

Its 5am and I'm stuck in terrible traffic.. Its only in this city that you can't envisage the ENERGY of man... Its totally crazy!!!

Its a proverbial situation of "noborry wan gree for noborry mehhnnn".. Shouts of "you dey mad?", "something dey worry ya papa", and what not rent the air... The stench from air as you pass through the state dump site at Ojota - kai! A first time visitor would think we are all crazy... Beating down our car horns at the slightest provocation or "swegbe" by other drivers on the road...

The okadas and more recently the keke napeps struggling unbashedly for road domination with trailer drivers... The population!!! The entrepreneurial abilities - The buildings...

Don't get it wrong - Lagos is a city ridden with crime just like any major cities (london with its stabbings, New York with its pickpocketting and bag jackings)... Its also home - beautiful city, sky scrappers et all, innovative relaxation spots, a few good roads (bite me)... I love this city..Don't you? :)
