‘If you can drive in lagos then you
can drive anywhere’. if there is a saying that irked me the first time I heard it, it is that one. An unassuming sentence filled with a dose of condescension that irritated me.I don’t know if it’s the words put together to form
that sentence that annoyed me or if it’s the self assured smirk of whoever it
was that delivered the lines at the time of delivery that made me want to shout.
It took me a while to see reasons with that
statement… it took me much more longer to admit that I see reasons with that
statement. And although I still resent people who say it, I am willing to tell
you, especially if you have never driven or been driven in Lagos, how Lagos
driving differs from driving in any other place, town, city, state or country.
