Everyone Is Crazy In Lagos! Etcetera Writes

Few weeks ago, I got a call from a friend asking me out for a drink, but I was already at the Lagos airport. “I’m not going to be around for the next few days,” I told him. “I’m going to Abuja.” His immediate reaction was – “Why? What’s wrong? Do you want to bore yourself to death?” That’s the typical response I get whenever I tell someone I am travelling to Abuja.

In truth, everyone in Lagos is crazy. What else do you expect in a state crammed with 22 million people?
