Bruh, proper Lagos island is the real lagos, Oshodi street, Glover etc. Been at my grandma’s for some days and I have seen things, good, bad, and the ones that left my mouth hanging 🤣

Phenomenal Hilda
I’m here for you…
Amoshine!!!! We need you at Hilda’s cookathon! She’s doing something phenomenal🤲🏽.
Abeg, tag Charles Okocha to this tweet if he’s on twitter 🤲🏽.
Make him ginger the babe. The final hours are the toughest🥺.
Lagosians are dirty.
Can’t take a walk without seeing someone peeing in an open space. No regard for hygiene or other people, just whip out rubbish and pee.
There’s plastic everywhere. LAWMA women and men clean up daily, everywhere still stinks. Small rain everyone needs a canoe.
In a bid to ward off this person, I told him I am married.
Me: Got married in a small ceremony last year.
He replied with: You don’t even look like he is taking care of you.
Olowo rimi ale nobody in the poteaux poteaux😭
Someone will say women look like potatoes and you, a woman will find it funny and even ‘kikiki’ under the post.
You think you are a different or special specie or shape of potato? They didn’t insult you too?
Your man will come home moody and sad, you’d think it’s because of work end of month Wahala.
But Bolaji had cried three times in the car on his way home because he found out Funke has a sugar daddy. He’s not her only sponsor. Lmaoooo
The rats here will look you in the eye like ‘kilo feshe?’. They are big, fat, round, black, and scary. They look like they don’t eat leftovers but wait for you to finish cooking. If one of them enters your house, just one o! It’s sorry for ‘yew’ mate, just move out!!!!
The smell of the akara next door wafted past the raffia windows into my nostrils. The sweetness reminded me of the time my grandma sat to tell us stories under the old baobab tree.
I looked at Chichi, her face the crimson of the sunset behind Obi’s hut.
you’ll just know when a book is written by a diaspora nigerian, idk how to put it but it’s like they want it to seem nigerian so bad that it ends up forced and not natural. i just search google and i am never wrong. almost like they’re so out of touch or something.
There are narrow roads between each house or street. Pass on woro from Oshodi, you land inside glover. Connect inabiri to tokunbo and one day maybe land in Jamaica 😂
These people party for no reason. All it takes is one canopy, chairs, alcohol, and people will flow. One midnight, policemen had to shoot in the air to end a party. What did I wake up to after finally getting some sleep? Sungba laja sungba 😩
Mummy Lekan might be broke with an empty shop, but when they call for a party at Sandgrouse, she will champion the cause with expensive gold, latest style, and enough make up to paint lagos for a carnival. God help your self esteem if it has K- leg😂
You can never go hungry on the island though. Every nook and cranny is filled with food vendors, rice, beans, yam, just search and you will find. One thing though, if you’re like me, you will ‘shit’ your entire stomach. But we live to fight another day, amen???
They don’t sleep on the island. So while other people are rushing home at 9pm, one indomie woman is just opening shop. People troop out like it’s 10am, making noise and swallowing food everywhere. 6am they are out again like they didn’t just enter 30 minutes ago.
It’s not easy to know who has money or not. Everybody has a car bad as e bad, e fit no work well but 4 tyres complete. Also your car will sleep outside even if it’s a RR because landlords have used all their spaces to build the slices of houses.
I love my daddy so much and I am shameless about it. Lmao. Old woman like me. But that man is best in parenting, been doing it alone for years and he’s the major reason I can’t settle for rubbish in a man. Again I love him so much ❤️
May Allah keep him for me, he will enjoy.
When Burna boy said woro si woro, he most likely meant here. You can pass someone’s house to another person’s room. They hardly lock their passages because even in the midnight people dey pass. There is somewhere called ‘woro iya aje’. Iya aje is witch😭
You know how inside Yoruba film, they beat somebody’s child outside and the mum and accompanying relatives come through to fight? Saw it yesterday 😂 Be like they wanted to raze the building in their iro and buba.
Lagos Island Anthony Joshua lite.
Most of the men around here just casually leg it about in the afternoon. In the evenings, their shirts sit on their shoulders as they parade their stomachs even those who have no pot to show aren’t left out.
The ladies and girls??? Best in fashunzzzzzzz!!!! I have seen combinations that I didn’t know existed. From the minis to the tighties and off shoulders. All hail ‘eko market’ aka idumota boys, they be coming through with the pieces.
So, I am familiar with people squatting and squeezing to spend the night. But nothing prepared me for seeing someone sleep just sitting by a window, like he is enjoying the sight. People sleep on staircases and inside keke napep outside, they wake up and move on like nothing!
Anyway, my Muslimah girlies, work hard, get yourself and your money up!! Be eloquent, classy, and keep your relationship with Allah on a 100.
Your standard is not too high, In Sha Allah the one for you is out there.
You are the friggin table okay baby?
People have been up since midnight to fetch water from a public source, they do it with so much joy and enthusiasm. I will fall am down and die if anybody wakes me up in the midnight to fetch water. Trenches much😭
Oh the young boys around here walk about like they stole something and kept it between their thighs. Their legs never join at any point during their wakawaka. Their trousers don’t stay on the waist though, always on the bum, on the verge of falling away.
I go to hustle all day,come back late,but HUSBAND is waiting for me to come and cook his food. Lmaooooooo.
Olowo ori mi,that hunger will reset your brain.
Seen a lot of Lagos island women, those ones that intimidate others at parties and share detergent or plastic spoon as souvenirs. Seeing them in their shops, you would think they are friends with their neighbors, lmao, wait till the next area party.
Muslim twitter, please do not set us up for drags and unnecessary insults. You can’t cope with what is going on here during Ramadan, take a break.
#Ramadan
Nah, we need to do better as Muslims, someone said he loves the dedication during Ramadan and would try to fast for one week and some Muslims are there saying he should waste his time yen yen yen?
What happened to encouragement? Or simply minding your business?
It’s my convocation today. Alhamdulilah. 2nd degree fr! Through work and tears🥳🥳🥳
I wanted to graduate badly because I have been at it since 2022.
So today, I got myself a celebratory cake, will stuff my face it in and feel guilty about all that sugar later🤭🤭
Dear diary, if Elele give Samo
@Vader_Wildcard
blow in garaji, he desaf it. You too see, no video or update on our engagement. As Wosi’s supporters club, we suppose to be planning and doing woro si woro. Nothing spoil sha, fingers crossing😒
I lost weight in three days, my daddy was asking if I didn’t see food to eat at home🙂↔️
Told my sister my stomach was hurting, the poor girl just dey follow me cry everyday.😂
20k is too much to spend on a man,but he will buy you shoes,bags,clothes and still give you money and you will collect. It isn't too much for you,ole,ole,elenu nla, atenu, ahun oshi.
