2 weeks in Lagos, the journey so far

It seems i have adjusted in Lagos to some extent thanks to my family and loved ones that have made it quite easy for me. However, there are still some things that have been driving me crazy in the 2 weeks i've been here....How do i cope?

1. Driving in Lagos. These drivers want to dash me stroke at an early age. Anytime i step out in the car to attempt to become a lagos driver.... I almost pee in my pants literally. Its amazing how every Lagos driver assumes everyone has amazing brakes.

2. Driving in Lagos when it rains. damn you are literally swimming with your car, gives me a thought for new lag vehicle/boat transportation.

3. Lagos Mosquitoes/sandflies. These mutated insects have almost killed me oh, my sexy legs are on there way to becoming blemished.....any tips, the insect repellants work a little well sha

4. When do i officially stop saying..." I just moved back from yankee" I mean ...is there a rule of thumb or something?

5. I have not really missed america yet, when would that happen?

6. and finally Lagos people are all crazy and I fast and pray not to become one of them....lol

Welcome home!

Is the rain in Lag that serious?

Pele about the blemished legs. Every time I go to Nigeria I come back with legs that would scare young children. I've accepted it.

lol at #4. You might want to keep saying it if it's getting you a lot of positive attention.

You'll miss USA once you get the urge for something you can only get in Walmart.

Takia! ♥

Lagos na wah! Somehow with all the bounties of negativity Lagos portends and brandishes, I can't imagine living anywhere else. Talk of driving, mosquitoes and living on the very fast lane, Lagos remains one major mystery place. I guess that makes us all mysterious people too. i mean those of us who live there. How have you been, sis? Been a while.

"Lagos people are all crazy"

yup, yup! And it doesn't matter if they were originally from somewhere else. Lagos folks are simply aggressive and I can't lie, I love it! loL!
