I have adjust...Bumight: I have definitely adjusted. I have adjusted so well that I almost killed an Okada driver the other day and felt only regret. Regret that I didn't finish the job.<BR/><BR/>Geisha: Tell me abt it. Where the hell does it come from sef?<BR/><BR/>Shubby: LOl. Do not be worried yet my dear. Acceptance is the first step towards change. I have accepted the problem. Change will follow...<BR/><BR/>Danny B: Exactly. But the things within my power will be changed. Promise.<BR/><BR/>NDQ: Thanks babe. Lagos is a mystical land like Eldorado or something.<BR/><BR/>Jaycee: How u dey? Lagos life is very simple because you just know what is going to happen on most days. What greater simplicity is there than that?<BR/><BR/>Aloofar: I am well sir. You are always over generous with your praise. How goes it?<BR/><BR/>Miz-cynic: U ain't lying. I know three people who have sold their cars and bought bikes instead. Lagos is no longer for cars.<BR/><BR/>Naaps: Yes yes I know. Worst brother in the world. Doesnt call. Doesnt write. I am ashamed of myself. But things are getting better and I swear I will surprise u soon. I'm gonna make u so proud big bro. I promise. Tell my sister I love her and awon girls too. <BR/><BR/>Darkie: It is a well known fact that okada drivers have no souls to speak of. They are empty shells who hold life with a regard most people reserve for creepy crawlies and stuff.<BR/><BR/>Jay: Wetin we go do with all these immigrants sef? Last time I went to my village there were just thirty people remaining. All the others had moved to Lagos to "make it". I tire o!<BR/><BR/>The beautiful Queen: The bus drivers have hearts as black as a coalminers ass. There are three attributes in the job ad for a "danfo" driver. Mean. Mean. Mean. Nice guys need not apply.<BR/><BR/>Nimmo: We definitely love to hate it o. We complain every day but would we trade it for any other city in the world? Hell no! (Well apart from New York maybe which has all Lagos has but nicer shops).<BR/><BR/>Fantasy: Ol girl i dey wait u o. When we tripping?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Baroque: U not lyin brother. U not lyin.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Nonesuch: Good to be back dearie. I intend to be back more often. I have been a poor blog buddy haven't I?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Princesca: U don shenk me since I come. Call me and I will tell you.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Allied: My alter ego. How u dey na? I am happy to be back so I can go stalking my favourite pages again. Any gist?<BR/><BR/>Rethots: Ah, the good ol megacity project. I hope I am still alive to see it. It will be such a proud moment for me...or my grandkids.<BR/><BR/>Jaja: Ol boy wey my phone call? Na me no dey answer abi na u? I hope it is not the newbie factor making me feel this way. After all I never do one year reach, Maybe by then I will just be plain bitter like so many of these Lagosians. Until then I am still enjoying it. How is the south at this time of the year? Have you purchased another jacket yet? The one wey u buy sound like guy jacket, serving little practical purpose.<BR/><BR/>Double 0: Oya I do answer.
