Lagos Hustle

Since my car went bad sometime in December, I have been relegated to either taking a cab, or flying bike (popularly called OKADA). Now though it is rather stressful to commute, the experience has been humbling and I have a new found respect for those who do not have cars. I get to meet all sorts of cab drivers and make new friends (yes, I do collect their numbers, in case am within the vicinity of their parks), learn new stories, learn new routes (cab drivers always have an alternate route to beat traffic). All in all, it's an experience.

Now, out of the various I have met this past month, one always seems to top my priority list. His name? BABA MASHA. (Dramatic soundtrack plays for 5secs). Baba Masha is the cutest most aggressive cab driver u would ever come across. He has a babyface, but fears no one. He hustles bus drivers and even lorries, and has little or no regard for police officers The only thing he fears more... is red lights and traffic. (And that's why he's my first choice!)

But, today was kinda a down day for my ever faithful BABA MASHA... he was back of the pack today and for some reason, he smelled funny. So after spending 2hrs in traffic with the smell, my nose went into overdrive and I started smelling things wrongly. (leans in and sniffs laptop...) I smell cheese. *covers_face*

So, that's my Lagos hustle.

Sporting Sunday

Okay, so... my Sunday was... rather successful sporting-wise. Djokovic won, and Arsenal came back from 2-0 to beat Villa 3-2. We needed the lift. *pauses* Isn't it funny how football fans say "we"... as though they are a part of the team. Weird hun? Once again Robin Van Persie steps up to save the day.

Anyways... after this blog, am gonna work on pictures and upload on my shutterchance page (www.mofeduncan.shutterchance.com). U should go check it out, u might find a pic u'd like.

Joke of the day: "Jokes about MENSTRUATION is not just funny. PERIOD!"

CHARITY

So I anchored another charity event today... damn! If I see charity, am gonna get all my money back. Initially I didnt think it'll be so bad, but when I got to the venue, I realized I had shot myself in the foot using Charity's 9mm.


I couldnt escape. I was in for it. Word had already gone round that I was gonna be there, and when my co-host didnt show up, I knew I was on my own.


To make things worse, the venue was at an old people's home, which didnt seem so bad at the start, when the DJ started playing old school high life music, I knew it was over.


Then to add to my f*cking beef with Charity, I was asked to donate for her cause again, after I was already anchoring the event for FREE!!!

Charity, where ever u are, u owe me money!!!
