Living In Lagos Can Be So....

Horrendous and traumatic!!!!!!!


Woke up late and decided not to rush off because i anticipated traffic on all the roads.

So i left home when i "guessed" that traffic would have eased off however i still drove in traffic for over one hour and a half.

The roads were flooded, pot holes everywhere!!!

In fact i don't think anyone in this office got here early today, na so so traffic we all dey complain....

I'm about to write a petition to the Lagos State government. They just have to do something about this mess on all the roads

Ahahn

What a mess truly....

One of the things i don't miss about Naija for sure,the most annoying "go-slows"(lol) are the ones that there is really no explanation for them-no potholes,no broken down car-nothing
Good luck with your petition though

@pink satin- U truly cannot imagine what it's like now... Morning, afternoon and night all days of the week, in every part of Lagos there's just so much traffic!!!!

My car even got flooded yesterday, all because the rain water had no drainage to flow through!!!

Right now the car is still soaked and smelling damp!!!

@classybabe- U know i've concluded that those "go-slows" with no explanations in form of an accident or broken down vehicles etc are caused by evil spirits or the likes (lol) because it is just so unbelievable and unimaginable how u spend hours in traffic, get to some point and the road just frees up miraculously!!!

Hair net- To wear or not to wear!!!

I hope i get some male perspectives on this discourse!!! I grew up watching/seeing my mum wear hair nets. I thought/assumed/believed it was normal. I was happy when i started wearing hair nets too. Now i'm married with children and they too have started to watch/see/know me as a hair net wearer. The challenge is this, i was once gisting with some friends and one mentioned a husband reporting his wife to her that his wife was a hair net wearer. And his main grouse was that the hair net constantly smelt of "dodo" i.e fried plantain. In her defense i said well better her net smelling of dodo than her brazillian weave on that cost an arm and a leg. Some of my female friends have expressed concern about my hair nets.***eyes roll*** I am comfortable wearing them but i dont want to be a pain to my hubby you see.... truth is i find that many husbands dont always mention the things they dont like e.g wearing hair nets or tying wrappers around the house... So hair nets.... ... to be …

Accepting just as it is?

My sister sent me a random message today! The message was disjointed and just fueled my annoyance a bit.

It was a supposedly congratulatory message even though the word congratulations didn't feature in it! Three weeks after my little one arrived. Am i such a bad sibling?

The relationship has been strained for years i admit. I have my shortcomings but the gap has largely stemmed from her not accepting her wrong doing and insisting she didn't behave so badly. Unfortunately my other siblings haven't been so vocal on the subject. I have and i have even attempted several reconciliatory meetings. I gave up after the last one where she kept her nose in the air and still kept justifying her actions!!!!

I feel disappointed particularly in the light of the many sacrifices i made for her over the years. Again i'm sure along the way i probably had a few slip ups to. And i have apologised for as many as i have remembered.

Her husband said to me once that she feels aggrieved on so…
