Lagos, monkey dey work, baboon dey chop
In Lagos, everybody is trying to hammer. Any way possible, we
all want to make more money.
What this has done to me is that my bargaining skills have now
gone over the top, yes my mother will be proud of me.
The group of people I am always haggling with are okada riders.
I already have an idea what my destination should cost me and I will not add
shi-shi to it.
One day, at the height of the fuel scarcity or what I thought
was the height (since Uncle Kachikwu has told us to be prepared for another 2
months) I entered an okada.
The usual fare is N100 but when I got to my destination the
okada man started begging me to add ‘small’ to it, that it is not just fuel
matter.
What else?
My curiosity wouldn’t let me leave it. So I decided to talk to
one of them.
Here’s what I found out.
