Eko oni ba je oooo. It’s the bubbling city of Lagos, the
New York and Las Vegas of Nigeria. If you grew up in Lagos you will definitely
understand the facts below.
1.
Anywhere after Jakende roundabout is not classified as the Island but the
Peninsula.
2.
People on the Mainland smile when people on the Island complain of flooding.
Especially Lekki Phase one residents.
3.
The Rhythm Unplugged concert is an event you absolutely have to go to every
year.
4.
Every time the president walks on a street in Victoria Island, the whole of
Lagos feels it.
5.
When it comes to gala and lacasera, we are sure they have the highest selling
record in Lagos.
6.
When you were younger, you probably went to Fela’s Shrine before you came of
age.
7.
Dealing with traffic is a never-ending struggle every Lagosian faces.
8.
And you are still waiting for the day Lekki-Epe expressway would be empty and
free of construction.
9.
Alternative routes are only alternatives between the hours of 11am and 3pm.
10.
Lagos weather definitely has a mind of its own.
11.
Most times you can quickly tell by their names, what street is on the Island or
Mainland.
12.
If you are old enough, you still reminisce about the days of National Theatre
and its drama.
13.
However nowadays you and your friends are rabid Genesis and Silverbird Cinema
fans.
14.
Your go-to-stores are The Palms (Shoprite), Ikeja City Mall or Spar (Park n
Shop).
15.
Islanders form like they don’t know places after 3rd mainland
bridge.
16.
Oh and of course you are proud to claim Olamide as your own.
