December is the craziest month of the Lagos year... Ohluwamayowa says so!
Lagos, home to millions of Nigerians and foreigners, the smallest state in the country known by some as 'No Man's Land'... for some urban folks like yours truly---> (moi), we call it Lasgidi!!!
Trust me when I say this place is crazy on any other day when it's December, it becomes really CRAZY! The situation IS expectedly critical for both motorists and pedestrians. I pity folks who work on the Island and live on the mainland... Jehovah is your muscle.
EVERYONE seems to be in a rush of some sorts. Company executives buzzing clients and potential clients on the phone calls and with emails; trying to meet their 'castle in the skies' targets. Mothers trying to play Santa for their kids; their every wish must come true... husbands increasing the tempo of the hustle so that they can deliver (Owo Odun - Money for festivities) as usual. Young entrepreneurs tryign to make quick gains... boutiques giving discounts just so they can clear their stock.
Entertainment companies are not left out! It's either this beach party jam or that Christmas jamboree... Radio and TV sets showing the same adverts repeatedly (like they have a choice, they have collected huge sums already na). Church programmes here, there... everywhere.
In as much as the December rush is around... I must confess, it makes Lagos all the more err.. well- LAGOS.
Imagine Lagos without traffic (shout out to GidiTraffic), Lagos without thousands of sweaty pedestrians, okadas, danfo buses with their reckless drivers; abnormal conductors and of course, the famous Agbero boys...
Imagine Lagos without my Igbo brothers jamming 'Akanchawa' on the streets, Lagos without the many petty marketers trying to sell this or that, imagine Lagos without dogs, chickens and goats straying freely... Just Imagine!
Lagos without the 'crazy' won't be Lagos at all!
