10 Tips That Will Help You Survive The Recession In Nigeria At The Moment

Recession in Nigeria

The recent report from the  National Bureau of Statistics said the country’s economy contracted in the second quarter by 2.1 percent, with the oil sector suffering a double-digit decline.

We can officially say Nigeria is in recession. Each one of us has been affected by the downturn in the economy, but this is the time to find a way to keep moving while everything around us is slowing down.

Here are a few tips to us help survive the recession.

1. Don’t Panic:

It is quite easy for us to panic and worry, but the truth is it won’t change anything only going to make us get sick.

2. Understand Your Finances:

This is the time you need to sit and understand how much is coming in and what that is worth now. understand that N50000 now can hardly afford what it could this time last year.

3. Set Up A Budget:

if you’ve never done this before, you have to do that now. write down all your expenses no matter how small for a month. this will help you understand where your money is going and help you identify any unnecessary expenses.  Make a list of your necessary expenses that is food, clothing rent e.tc. and allocate funds to each of this categories.

4. Scale Back On Your Expenses:

You shouldn’t be spending so much at this time. we all agree clothing is a necessity , but this isn’t the time to think of buying expensive clothes or clothes you don’t need. you can also cut back on expenses by reducing the amount  you spend on your internet and also cable tv. truth is you can’t watch all the channels on tv, so cutting back here will help you save.

5. Buy In Bulk:

Buying you necessities in bulk will help you save money. if you have a means of preserving foodstuffs, you should definitely buy in bulk, it will save you time and also money.

6. Be Frugal:

Some people don’t like being frugal, if they can afford something they want, they get it. even if you can afford it, don’t get it if you don’t need it. learn to be frugal it will help you save for when it gets harder to save.

7. Sell Your Extra Stuff:

You can sell your extra stuff, this will help you make extra money. Things you don’t need or haven’t used for awhile, need to go. Fortunately, they are e-business sites that will help you connect to buyers fast.

4 Ways To Not Allow Social Media Rule Your Life

Social media is one of the greatest developments of the 21st century and has influenced the lives of millions if not billions but it shouldn’t rule your life. Here are four ways to not allow social media rule your life.

1. Follow the necessary:

Social media is very tempting and everything can tend to look good and attractive but not all things actually help us be the best version of ourselves. Thus, only follow pages that add consistent value to your life.

2. Block away:

Don’t apologize for keeping people at bay, if they are stressing you or bringing your mood or esteem down, because we have a lot of cyber bullies these days. |Don’t let anyone rub you of your happiness, simply block them!

3. Be minimal:

Social media is still the internet in case you may have forgotten. Once you put stuff up there, it stays there forever. Thus, try to only put up things that you won’t  regret having up for years to come. I’d advise staying away from the personal things like family posts.

4. Do you:

In the end, anything you do should make you feel comfortable and not be all about the other person(s), so craft your social media pages to suit your personality. Although, it may not be in good form to do this, but many interpret you via your social media page.

5 Things About Muhammad Ali You Probably Never Knew

I may not have been a fan of boxing, and I surely wouldn’t have thought i will write a piece about something related, well, yeah i am not, however, I am putting this down in honor of a true legend, Muhammad Ali, the man that taught me resilience.
Watching from the screen in our sitting room, i would often see a man who got knocked down repeatedly, yet he never gave up. At a very young age, i realized it was not just over, being on the ground. Before i learned from Ali, I would always thing it’s best for a man knocked down to stay on the ground, but now, I realized even the ground is not enough to stop a motivated man, this was my first life’s lesson, from Ali.
In honor of him, I’ll be listing 5 things about Muhammad Ali you probably never knew about…
1. Ali Changed His Name More Than Once
According to his biographer, Davis Miller,
“The legend is known that when a young Kentucky-born Cassius Clay joined the Nation of Islam his name was immediately changed to the now iconic Muhammad Ali,” Miller says. “But few know that his first name change was to Cassius X.
“It was February 26, 1964 — the morning after he knocked out Sonny Liston. But nearly two weeks later, on March 6, he announced that religious and political leader Elijah Muhammad (who led the Nation of Islam from 1934 until his death in 1975) had given him the new name of Muhammad Ali.”
2. He Is A Sufi
“Ali announced that he is a Sufi around 2005, saying that of all of the sects of Islam, he feels the closest connection to Sufism,” says Miller, whose book “Approaching Ali” was released in late 2015. “Sufism is arguably the most peaceful sect of any major or minor religion. Sufis believe that to purposely harm any person is to harm all of humanity, to harm each of us and to damage the world.
“It is the perfect fit for Ali, who had been living in the ways that Sufis do for decades before he’d heard of the religion. “Few people have heard about the profound ways Ali’s faith has evolved over the years. He has been a world soul for many decades; he has grown from separatist to universalist.”
3. He Fought While Injured
“Ali had only six weeks to prepare for this contest,” Miller says. “In training, his boyhood friend and former heavyweight champion Jimmy Ellis badly fractured one of Ali’s ribs.
“Even with this injury, Ali did not reschedule the fight, being entirely uncertain that if he did, he would ever get the chance to fight again.”
4. Parkinson’s disease has taught him new ways to communicate
“The art of the gesture is quite important to him,” Miller says of Ali, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1984 at the age of 42. “He communicates with his hands and fingers, his facial features, his eyes.
“He surprises visitors by making a sound with his thumb and index finger that’s not unlike a cricket in your ear. He blows on the top of heads, tickles the inside of palms when he shakes hands, teasing almost everyone who visits him.
“Though he can walk, Ali is often seen sitting in a wheelchair or positioned in an easy chair. He is no longer the world’s most vocal and irrepressibly animated person.”
5. He’s an amateur magician
“Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.”
Famous for his pre-fight proto rap rhymes, Ali had some other dazzling tricks. “Until recently, throughout his years with Parkinson’s disease, Ali surprised visitors by performing prestidigitations (sleight of hand tricks),” Miller says.
“He made a red silk scarf disappear from his hand, he bit coins in half and made them whole again, and he often performed an old parlor trick — by putting his feet together and rising up on the toes of one foot while keeping his other foot flexed, he could appear to float above the ground.”

6 Foods Nigerian Don't Joke With (With Photos)

 

 

 

 

There are some dishes that Nigerians most certainly don’t joke with as we attach a lot of respect to them. Like, you automatically make a bad impression on a Nigerian if you would ever say that these foods are poo.


1. Small Chops

As we say “A party without small chops is just an occasions and we hardly go for occasions”. Order yourself a pack of small chops today and feel that ardent mouthgasm really.


2. Jollof Rice

Jollof Rice deserves a major seat in our coat of arms because Nigerians do not play with jollof rice. For starts, it’s always a safer bet to have jollof rice instead of fried rice when you visit a new restaurant. Whether it’s the peppery Yoruba rice or it’s the one cooked with firewood or the home cooked one, or served with chicken, beef or fish, we love jollof.


3. Beans.

Nigerians do not play with beans. The average Nigerian manual labourer will attest to what the combo of bread, beans and a 50cl bottle of Pepsi does to him.


4. Dodo

Dodo or fried plantain is one Nigerian food that is talked about on the interwebs but really, dodo is an amazing meal. You can eat alone, or it can go along with a main dish.


5. Roadside Fries.

fried yam, plantain, potatoes and mosa with a tasty peppery stew make up our roadside fries combo.
Depending on your taste and the size of your pocket, you can complement with fish or beef and trust we do not play with this meal. This meal has been there for students in higher institution at times when they need it the most.


6. Suya

Have you ever had good suya? Wrapped in newspaper with onions, cucumber and pepper sprinkled on it. That is the real deal right there. 

Ten Things Nigerian Neighbors Share Together

If you have lived in a compound that is not inhabited by you alone,you must relate to this ,

1•--Matches
This tops the list,if u lived in Nigeria or still living,there is an adage that says "The closer you are to your neighbor,the lesser you buy matches" its really that common,I remember a neighbor waking me up around 11:30 to request 5match sticks

2•--Maggi
This one is also common and annoying,it stands out alone in my list,i remember living with this guy cook that disturbed me so much,the worst is he will say please give me 1 cube of knorr maggi and when i open the knorr to bring out 1 single cube he will say ahh ahhh brother samuel remember there is love in sharing

3•-- All kinds of foodstuff
Ranging from palm and groundnut oil,pepper,crayfish,onions mehn neighbors can be tasking,1 would just wake up n start borrowing everything frm rice to oil to maggi to pepper and they are off with breakfast

4•--Movies
This 1 sure brings problem between two neighbors and it also aids some sharp guy neighbors to get their longtime crush laid..how does it? when there is electricity overnight,u get a female neighbor pestering your house just to get a good movie for the night,the rest they say is history

5•--Water
I remember when i used to live with my parent,there's this guy that will always request for drinking water and bathing water,you know nigerian parents,my mum soon found out this guy doesn't fetch water in the house,so she lied in wait for him,when he finally came,mumcy finish this guy that day,i pitied him sha because he became the laughing stock of the compound

6•--kerosene
This is also common in my place,some neighbors request this quite often for their lamps,cooking and burning

Niggers where una deh??
niggers can package with their neighbors cloths like no mans business,they even collect jean,shirt,polo,sneakers,wristwatches, wristbangle,and many more,its common.

MUST READ: Details of How Prophet ‘Daniel’ Abodunrin Was Killed & Eaten By Lions At Ibadan Zoo In 1991

Religion has turned many Nigerians into rambling psychopaths. From the raving mad Islamists who ravaged an entire northeastern geopolitical zone of the federal republic to a deluded band of Obafemi Awolowo University students who withdrew into the deep tropical forest to wait for the world to come to an end or to the traditionalists who exhume corpses for rituals of fortune, religion has done great damage to the cerebral tissues of many of our citizens. But this is not a recent development. As far back as 1961, Edidem Bassey (I wrote his story, see HERE) was worshipped by many as Jesus Christ. Nigerian history is not complete without the numerous bizarre stories that are always woven with faiths. Today, I present to you the most notorious story of a bloody encounter between a Nigerian prophet and an African beast.

“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

– Isaiah 54:17

 The city of Ibadan in Oyo State, southwestern Nigeria is one of the largest in West Africa. It is home to the first university in Nigeria, University of Ibadan, established by the colonial masters in 1948. One of the most famous features of this great citadel of learning is its Zoological Garden, which is one of the oldest in the country. The zoo plays host to various animals but the most legendary of them all are the lions. For many visitors, a trip to the famed zoo is not complete without seeing the majestic lions. So it was during the Easter Lenten season of 1991, all of Ibadan was buzzing with excitement of the season and naturally, one of the prime spots of attraction for many families was the University of Ibadan Zoo. Families, couples and tourists trooped into the zoo that fateful day.
  However, unknown to all of the other visitors, there was one particular visitor who had another sinister agenda. Bishop (some referred to him as a pastor or a bishop) ‘Daniel’ Abodunrin’s intention that fateful day was not to see the lions and take some memorable pictures with them. His goal was to demonstrate something that had never been done before. His plan was to replicate what was written in the Holy Bible thousands of years ago. It was the story of a Jewish boy in Jerusalem named Daniel who was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon who served in the king’s court until the time of Cyrus, the Persian emperor. Although many scholars today have agreed that Daniel never existed and the story is nothing but an allusion to the reign of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Greece, the tale has survived till modern-day Nigeria and it was this story that inspired Pastor Abodunrin to take that fatal gamble that fateful day, he took the trip from Omi Adio, a tiny village in Ibadan, paid the transport fare of N120 and headed to the zoo at Ibadan. In the biblical story, Daniel was made a high-ranking officer by Darius the king of Babylon, his enemies became jealous and accused him of worshipping God instead of the emperor. Daniel was flung into the den of lions but he was not afraid, the lions did not hurt him and an angel came to rescue Daniel and he was restored to his former glory and his enemies were crushed. That was how it went in the Old Testament.  

ENTERING THE DEN OF THE LIONS

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” – Genesis 1:26

  Fast forward to 1991 AD. Location: Ibadan. A pastor in West Africa attempts to recreate what was narrated in the sixth chapter of the Book of Daniel. Pastor Abodunrin donned a flowing red robe and clutched his big Holy Bible. As he made his way for the lion enclosure, alarmed zoo keepers shouted and warned him (some other records stated that he sneaked in and it all happened very fast while another version has it that he managed to convince one of the zoo keepers to allow him enter and let God demonstrate signs and wonders saying that the God of Daniel is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow). One thing was clear: Abodunrin did not listen to any of those warning him. Terrified families who were enjoying their picnic looked on with a bewildering mixture of shock and terror, screams rented the serene atmosphere of the zoo but Abodunrin was just chanting Bible verses at the top of his voice and speaking in tongues. He made it into the enclosure of the lions and stared at them. The lions stared back at him. It was a most discomforting sight for everyone, including the lions. An exchange of death stares and at a point, a deafening silence fell over the whole place. It was all like a movie. Devout Christians in the crowd were waiting to see a faith-enhancing miracle while some others toughened their minds for the bloodiest drama of the century.  
  Driven by the zeal and passion of religion and with the utmost belief that he would be save by the Holy Spirit or that the angels will paralyze the lions as they did for Daniel, Abodunrin did not stop chanting Bible verses and speaking in tongues, wriggling his body under the robes, providing what was the spectacle of the year for everyone in the zoo. A crowd had gathered. But inside the den of the lions, something interesting was going on with the Nigerian Daniel and the feline beasts. As Abodunrin approached them, the big cats retreated and moved towards a corner of their cage, that was their instinct. They withdrew from the marauding ‘man of God’.

Can you confront a lion with a Bible? This lion is at the Agodi Gardens in Ibadan.

At that moment, everyone was watching the entire drama as if it was a dream. Here was a man in a flowing red robe, armed with nothing but a large Bible, approaching some of the fiercest creatures on earth. When Abodunrin jumped into the lions’ cage, the lions moved into a tense retreat. Abodunrin stepped closer. He seemed determined to cow the lions and turn them into goats. He felt he possessed all the heavenly authority and spiritual powers to summon angels to weaken the lions. The only way to paralyze a lion in an instant is to use a tranquilizer dart, which is just common sense. But the prophet felt things in the physical world are controlled in the realm of the spirits and there was no need for any tranquilizer dart, he would use his copy of the Bible as a sedative for the lions. He brushed off those who warned him of an imminent death that they had carnal minds and could not understand things of the spirit. Rational people in the audience looked on in horror as it looked like a feast was ready.
  He might have mistaken the retreat of the lions for a sign of weakness or that the angels were actually working their wonders already. Like a deranged mind, Abodunrin kept chanting Bible verses, making gestures at the lions and commanding them to be still. He was calling on the God of Daniel who saved the prophet in Babylon to show awesome power. As he made a final approach towards the lions, what happened next was…

“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.

– Isaiah 54:17

  In a flash, the lions lifted their massive bodies and charged at Abodunrin. The Bible flew away and he landed with a thud. A bitter struggle ensued and the terrified crowd could not believe the scene before their eyes. It seemed everyone was too confused or fixated to even do anything. Pastor Abodunrin could not believe his eyes and as the lions landed on him, the look of terror in his eyes could only be better imagined. In a matter of seconds, he was torn to shreds. He died on the spot and the lions snacked on his remains. A single, well-aimed bite from a lion is enough to kill an adult human being in a matter of seconds. Abodunrin’s red robe was redder with the splatter of his blood all over the place, his torn and bloodied Bible in one corner of the lions’ cage.

Some of the last sights of Prophet Abodunrin looked like this. Imagine seeing this moments before your death. What a spectacle!

   What remained of the audacious preacher was later recovered and you can see it in the photo. Today, many preachers across the globe have made attempts to recreate the narrated stories and miracles of the Bible but they have ended disastrously, from the pastor who drowned while trying to walk on water to another pastor who entered a lion’s den in Taiwan only to be wounded after shouting to the lions: ‘Jesus would save you!’. Nigerians have to learn to embrace rational thinking instead of beclouding their senses with religious ideologies that will only end in sorrow and offer nothing of value to humanity. When ebola disease broke out in Nigeria, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo angered not a few Nigerians when he said that even if people drank ebola virus, nothing would happen to them because they were children of God.

A gruesome photo shows what became of Prophet Abodunrin after he entered the lions’ den shouting Halleluyah.

THE AFTERMATH
 In an instant, the story was all over the country that a pastor who entered the lion’s den was mauled to death and consumed by the beasts. Many could not believe their ears. However, there were some Christians who actually believe that the pastor was a true man of God and that the lions were actually possessed by demons to have attacked the anointed ‘man of God’. This set of Christians were enraged and demanded that the lions be killed.
An Abiyamo Fan narrated of the incident:
Kenny Lawal: Thanks abiyamo for the memories. I was a 2nd year student in UI when this incident occurred in late November 1991. Many students on campus who heard the commotion had initially thought it was mere rumour but some curious ones like me went in some minutes later. By then the ‘Daniel of Omi Adio’ had been mauled and evacuated. We had to gather around some Zoo keepers who gave us the eyewitness accounts- Abodunrin scaled the perimeter fence unnoticed with his flowing robe; he was fatally mauled and died on the spot but was not eaten, fire extinguishers were used to scare the lions back into their enclosures before the man could be retrieved. The particular lion that delivered the fatal blow was later put down despite the protests by animal rights activists (they said the animal had tasted human blood and had to die). Festus Adedayo, a former reporter, now a Special Adviser to Gov. Ajumobi did a fabulous piece on this story in the defunct Weekend Concord then. Arguably the most popular and legendary animal at UI zoo then was ‘Haruna’ the Gorilla. We, the students even nicknamed him ‘Owonikoko’ ‘Omo ose paro’ for he was the greatest attraction in the zoo and generated huge revenues. I thank you again for bringing back the memories.
  At this point, I will make reference to the experience of a journalist from that era, someone who actually had the experience of the saga, Akeem Soboyode, he wrote of the incident in July 2004:
About a year later, I also had cause to comment on the sad and tragic escapade of a pastor who deliberately sneaked into the lion’s den at the University of Ibadan zoo and was mauled to death by a lion. Despite my growing reservation then regarding issues of religion, my interest in writing an article on that issue came primarily from the fact that I am a proud alumnus of the university and paid many visits to that zoo while I was a student there. Immediately after the tragic event, many suggested that the lion be put to death. I argued in my article, also published in the PUNCH, that the lion was a beast, not a rational being as one would expect its victim to be. That was the way nature programmed it to react to such an event, and the unthinking “Daniel” should have known better. I don’t recall if the lion was eventually destroyed, but I do remember that after the article was published, one of my Christian friends made a comment along these lines: “Akeem, don’t you know the lion must have been possessed to have killed the pastor? Why should it deserve to live?”
In July 2015, the boss of the University of Ibadan Zoo, Dr. (Mrs) Olajumoke Falode-Morenikeji confirmed the incident and this is what she had to say about it:

Dr Mrs Olajumoke Falode, the ‘Great Huntress’ of the University of Ibadan Zoological Gardens. She relived the experience in an interview.

But there was a story we learned, that a man called Daniel wanted to catch a lion; jumped into the lions’ cage here in your Zoo and was killed and eaten by the lion. How true is that story?
It is a true story – it happened many years ago before I got here. You know, in the society we have different kinds of people, some are normal while some are not, this man actually jumped into the lions’ cage and presented himself as a feast for the lions, he was the one that killed himself, infact the lions first withdrew from him, but he still went ahead chanting bible passages and perhaps hoping to catch the lion or something close to that – and the lion needed to defend itself, he pounded on the man and killed him, so that was the peculiar case.
Did people attempt to rescue him or something?
It was so sudden I am sure, nobody in their right senses will not do that.
Today, the zoo proudly boasts of lions and below are photos of some of the lions with their names:

Isaac.

Always let sleeping lions lie.

 On the 14^th of January 2015, Pastor Enoch Adeboye was at the same zoo to commission the upgraded University of Ibadan Zoological Garden. Adeboye had donated the sum of N45 million for the upgrade of the zoo, and part of the upgrade was the building of modern cages for the animals, meaning the lions got new and reinforced cages. I found it amusing that another pastor would be back at the zoo years later to provide money for stronger and reinforced cages for the lions in the same zoo where another pastor was mauled to pieces. You know, probably if the cages had been stronger that time, I might not have had to write this story.

They will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” – Mark 16: 18

Sex Worker Stabs Customer 10 Times

Not Real Photos

A commercial sex worker has been arrested by the police at Ikoyi Division in Lagos, western Nigeria, for allegedly a male customer.

The suspect, Cynthia Edo, 27, allegedly stabbed Mr Kola Ayinla in about ten places all over his body with broken bottle for allegedly attempting to harm her with a charm during sex bout at a local hotel in Ikoyi.

In the ensuing commotion, the hotel management sent a distress call to the DPO in charge of Ikoyi Division, SP Tijani Mustapha to come to their aid.

Mustapha immediately despatched a team led by SGT Ijatuyi Tope to the hotel to arrest the combatants and bring them to the station.

The police arrested Edo at the scene with broken bottles and took her to the station, while the victim was rushed to the hospital where doctors are currently battling to save his life.

During investigation, the suspect allegedly confessed to stabbing her customer with broken bottle for allegedly attempting to harm her with a charm while they were having sex.

She allegedly told the police: “On 10 February, 2016, the complainant came to my hustling joint at Rumen Avenue area of Ikoyi, Lagos to approach me for till day break (TDB) sex contract.

“I agreed and charged him a fee of N20,000. He paid me and we lodged at a hotel at Ikoyi, Lagos to have the sex.

“While the sex was going on, I noticed that my customer attempted to bring out something like charm from his pocket to harm me.

“I quickly sprang up from the bed to confront my customer about what he was trying to bring out from his pocket, and in the process, an argument broke out which soon degenerated to a fight during which I broke a bottle and used it to defend myself.”

But police investigation absolved the victim of being in possession of any charm or harmful object on that day.

In his alleged statement to the police on his hospital bed, the victim allegedly said: I actually approached Edo for sex at Rumen Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos and paid her the sum of N20,000 for the till day break agreement.

“I was surprised that after one round of sex, Edo sprang up from the bed to tell me that the N20,000 I paid her had expired and that I would pay another N20,000.

“And an argument broke out between us, and before I knew what was happening, Edo broke an empty bottle of beer and started stabbing me all over my body, with blood gushing out from all parts of my body.”

But Cynthia Edo allegedly denied that money caused their fight in the hotel.

After investigation, Cynthia was arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court on a one count charge of felony to wit, unlawful assault on Kola Ayinla by stabbing him with a broken bottle all over his body occasioning bodily harm, an offence punishable under section 171 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

Cynthia pleaded not guilty to the charge in the open court and the presiding Magistrate, Mr H. O. A. Amos admitted her to bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.

Amos adjourned the case till 3 March, 2016 for mention, while the defendant was taken to kirikiri prison, Apapa, Lagos pending when she will perfect her bail conditions.

Top 5 Lies Lagosians Tell Themselves All The Time

The notorious Lagos traffic is a ready excuse for late comers

If you are just moving to Lagos or a JJC, you need to get on with this lie and not be too bothered about it!
Here are 5 lies Lagosians tell themselves that you need to know

I am almost there

If you have an agreement to meet any Lagosian at a place and you call him at the agreed time, it is very likely he will tell you on phone that he is almost there. If the case has to do with money, you can bet that he will assure you that he will be with you in a few seconds. A proper Lagosian uses that opportunity to down a bottle of cold drink while a JJC frets around. When he finally arrives, he is likely to tell you he was held up just around the corner- whatever that means.

I don’t have money

One statement you are likely to hear Lagosians utter all the time is that they don’t have money. Yet, they still go about doing things that involve spending money. Every Lagosian who receives salary claims he has spent the money even the money was paid. Ask a Lagosian for money and the first thing he is likely to tell you is that he doesn’t have money. He might later give the money to you but the initial statement should not be taken too seriously. Every Lagosian has no money even if he continues to spend it!

I only buy original stuff

Of course, nobody in Lagos opens his eyes and buys fake products. The question however is that how do people who produce fake things thrive? Everybody goes around parading himself an expert when it comes to getting things in Lagos but sometimes, you can’t tell until it’s late. Every Lagosian will tell you he has the best and the most expensive and nobody dispute it because it’s a game that goes round.

I am not at home

If someone is ready to see or meet you in Lagos, what you are likely to be told is that he is not at home and very likely just left a few minutes ago. Typical Lagosians do not bother to make inquiry but would go ahead and make the visit. If you meet the person at home, he is sure to tell you he just returned home a few minutes ago. Who is fooling who?

I was just about to call you

Call a Lagosian who should have called you and he will make it look like you just beat him to the call. He might even tell you he just dialed your number before your own call came through. Nobody takes this serious or react negatively to it but move on to the important reason for the call.
