YOU WANT TO SURVIVE IN LAGOS: 17 Things you must not do.
1. On a bus, When you sit by the window. Never operate your phone, It will be snatched from your hand. This is a normal occurence in some parts of Lagos such as Agege and Mushin. In fact, anywhere in Lagos.
2. Whenever someone greets you on the road, Do not answer him or her especially when he approaches you from behind.
3. If you see people fiiighting, Mind your business!!. I repeat MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!
4. You must learn how to argue with a bus conductor, when he tries cheating you.
And please whenever you do. Please don't use Standard English. You must have had a good knowledge of Pidgin before you come to Lagos. If not I can teach you. 🤣
5. Walk with a known Nigerian, on the first weeks of your stay in Lagos. He'll show you the ropes or else you go sufffer.
6. Whenever you're walking in a deserted area in Lagos. Walk like a gangster, not like a responsible person. If you do, street boys will feel you're defensive and wouldn't come close to you. Street sense ✌🤣
7. Anything you did not find on your head, Please don't pick it. (You understand what I mean).
8. When you're crossing the road. Turn into a Ronaldo. Cars come in massive drives. They won't hit you but you must learn how to dribble them. 🤣
9. When you want to buy soft drinks, Buy soft drinks from people hawking in the traffic. It is believed that the drinks taste sweeter than the ones bought from people in shops😅. Just a belief!!
10. When you see a large number of people running, don't wait or ask questions. Just run with them. RUN RUN RUN!!! Ask when it is safe!! Run o🤣
11. Never leave Lagos without taking a ride on Third Mainland Bridge. It is a sin😅
12. Don't dance to any music you hear, never stare or laugh at people. Don't speak to anyone in the bus until they speak to you first.
13. Whenever you walk in a crowded area, hold your phone firmly in your hand, not in your bag or pocket or else it’s gone.
