only in 9ja....

original mgbeks formulated it, afro merixed it, dis is my version;
Funny, weird yet amazing things dat can only be associated with 9geria/9gerians :-

*
Everyone is a copy-cat e.g this post :-)
* LASTMA is more dreaded than the 9gerian police
* Our lawmakers are the 1st law breakers; need examples??? :-)
* Man-no-die' man-no-rotten mentality (go look for interpreter :-)
* Politics is a do or die affair (ts self xplanatory)
* Every flying cockroach /wall gecko is a monitoring spirit
* 5 out of every 15 civillian have been harrased by a conductor/police
* If u are xceptionally beautiful, u are a mammywater or ogbanje
* 9gerians no dey fear face; last wk president yardy's convoy was attacked in jos (a whole presido)
* Everything is jazz related; (u get wrk na jazz, u marry na jazz, u get money na jazz, u no get money na ..... : -)
* There is a generator, recharge card seller, mallam on every street
* Almost everyone have climbed okada n drank pure water (i said' almost o :-)
* Single mothers r bad market; single fathers r xempted (very pathetic)
* Almost all 9ja songs has a razz word eg faayaa, koko, kentro, kolo, maga, shayo, ja'wonsi, 4kasibe (my fav)
* African-time' has gotten a new meaning; i went for a function dat was supposed to start by 9am, 6hrs later......nathing
* Some car owners want to be regarded as a bigz boy/girl; i kno a broda dat stay in a one room 'face- me- i- slap-you', shares d toilet with 15 oda tenants, queues 2 fetch water 4rm d well but maintains a tear-rubber honda baby-boy (i suspect say him own' na jazz :p
* What goes up, neva comes down; b4 b4 sweets were being sold for 1 naira (now 2 for 5naira) coke was 25naira (now 60-100naira) a gallon of kerosene was formerly 60naira (now 480/600 naira), Ajegunle to CMS formerly 30naira; now 100naira
* Flashing' is on a kentro level; somebody wld flash you' say like.....10times, only for u to cal n they ll say, 'i just say make i greet u' or a strange voice ll ask, 'ta'lon soro???? :-)

These r all i cld come up wit for now, wat r urs???????

PS: Congrats to Arsenal football club una try sha, but if una fit beat chelsea(again), i promise all of una one house each 4 lekki :-)
norrin do una!!

princekay123 said...

I can't stop laughing LG. U're funny...

This flashing thing dey pain me well well o. There was a day an ex-girlfriend (we've broken upfor over 3 years but still communicate to say hi once in a blue moon) was flashing persistently. I was in a very important meeting, so I quickly excused myself to call her. Can you imagine what she said?
"I just want to tell you that I saw your sister on my street yesterday," she announced as if that's a good news.
I was very mad at her and told her never to call me again in her life.
I later called to apologise, but I still ponder about it.

princekay123 said...

*as per.."after five" or "To four" 9ja teachers r to blame n u kno we have dis habit of abrreviating everything, so see after five as an abbreviation of 5mins after 5 :-)

TOBENNA.......nna ke'ifo???? why u dey 'tasi mi'??? ehn??

There is no doubt in my mind what so ever that Profit lance will show you how to make money online, but there are many obstacles your going to face in order to do it or to get to where I am at. What I mean is, there's allot of information, tools and resources in this course that your going to have to get familiarized with before you can become successful. Yes you will earn money but to make a living out of it your going to really need to understand how everything works.
