Lagos Metropolis

Early to rise late to lay, business minded people who barely slay; best of friends with traffic who make their day. Clicking show glasses of Ghana bons with schoolers ready to buy; Athletic traffic sellers who could catch up a bus at 120 A metropolis coloured with yellow molue and danfo buses whose drivers are as audacious as the day; chain smokers with throaty voices impatient with co-commuters when they cry "Mile2 Mile2!" Energetic touts with special anthem "owo mi da?" Grubby fighters in yellow ready to engage any fellow. Happy market women in their sizes buying and selling in faded wrappers in loud cries of "langbe jinó o" and hilarious children replying "I get belle o!" Impatient road users in their dusty trekker shoes, almost bumping into one-way bikers who would often holler "oloriburuku oshi!" Loud jaiye jaiye gbedu with dragging notes from roadside DJs who are live for the party and on Saturdays for the couples A city with anaconda queues at banks with sweaty odours from co-standers.
