Walking through the busy streets of Lagos after a long day, my feet hurts, i'm tired, thirsty, hungry and angry at no one in particular(maybe myself). Not even the dark, sweaty, dirty, brown toothed agberos harrasing angry fear gripped conductors unwilling to part with as low as twenty naira(funny but true) or the short, fat, black, sweaty women selling tomatoes, or the able bodied beggars, angrily begging passer's by who are equally as pissed off as i am......one more "OGA ABEG NOW!" and a beggar would recieve a slap for sure(welcome to Lagos).......I got to smile when I saw a kid not older than 7yrs, trying to act gangsta, sagging his dirty army green jumper trouses and showing off his grease stained blue boxers, with no footware on, who was terrorising an akara woman who refused to part with one akara but later did with a smile because the young gangsta's antics were funny rather than repulsiue. My smile came when I saw the boy smile as he savoured his victory over the akara woman in his gangsta way(bouncing like a kangaroo and packing his jumper trousers at the crouch with one hand while the other held his half eaten akara). Getting into the bus i heaved a sigh of relief not just caz i got to cool my heels after all the walking, but caz i got another another reason to smile.....Thinkhng i waz free, an agbero who was practically scarred for life with fresh scars on his head, hand and face(obviously from a recent battle.....yes battle not fight, caz one gets that kind of beating at war). He started taxing the driver who pretended not to see him, before a pretty light skinned(toh bad.....)lady passed by him. He immediately stopped taxing the driver and stared at her as she walked by shaking her behind rythmically much to the awe of the agbero who stared for about a minute until she waz lost in the crowd of pedestrians. Turning back to resume taxing the driver he caught me laughing and said to me in his hoarse voice(obviously caused by too much igbo) and through his puffed blackened lips(twice the size of jayz's) and brownish teeth "OH BOY, WHO NO LIKE GOOD THING".....
