Because obviously, these kinds of lifestyles have passed normal levels of &quot;comfort&quot;.Anya Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10847500731838213016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259678905729324935.post-34924783562321832842009-11-25T08:01:54.052-05:002009-11-25T08:01:54.052-05:00People complaining that the present level of efizzy in Lagos obviously never lived in the &#39;right&#39; parts back in the day. I went to school with a bunch of rich kids and their lives were so different from mine. They travelled out every single holiday, they were members of country clubs, their parents drove the latest and best cars. So um yeah Lagos has pretty much always been about oppression and efizzy, it just seems outrageous now because we&#39;re older.Omosi Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11485590117605048610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259678905729324935.post-80262076930833596962009-11-25T04:24:01.148-05:002009-11-25T04:24:01.148-05:00I totally agree with Sokari...it bugs me that people can drive around in their bentley&#39;s on terrible roads and not give a hoot...all they do is pass by the &quot;lowly paupers&quot;. I mean i know people have a right to do as they please with their money..but damn...if only people could use some of their &quot;excess&quot; money to improve their neighborhoods/do something that would benefit their community....*sigh* (It&#39;s sad that we don&#39;t recognize that it&#39;s in these little but significant ways that we can improve Nigeria)...if only....<br /><br />haha. gone are the days when i would be happy if i got puff puff or got a pencil/an eraser as a gift at a party...wow how time flies...I love me some puff-puff...<br /><br />I wish i could be a kid in this period so that i can have &quot;amazing toys&quot; and have nannies who will carry me and my backpack (so that i never have to use my hands... you know as an &quot;ajebota&quot; kid i can&#39;t be stressed).. smh....<br /><br />As my friend Kanyeezy would say...Yo Lagos &#39;m really happy for you and I&#39;ma let you finish basking in the glory of being one of the worlds most expensive cities and all but your inhabitants can do better...ShadeNonconformisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09684872244505806973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259678905729324935.post-13336559218038581382009-11-25T03:45:53.493-05:002009-11-25T03:45:53.493-05:00We used to live in Apapa before moving to Ikeja and I remember my parents out every weekend dancing then Sundays beaching - but there was never anything osentatious about our lives minimum househelp and we kids had to do our own stuff. My mum drove us where we needed to go not a driver. I think by the 80s all this had changed and things went hay wire. The level of &quot;effizy&quot; as you call it is now obscene. But what gets me the most is the total lack of shame of riding around in a hummer amidst such devastating poverty and kicking everyone out of the way. Such inhumanity!sokarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14311113231872002519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259678905729324935.post-15810757266868599022009-11-25T02:49:08.431-05:002009-11-25T02:49:08.431-05:00lol.. guess the human being by default (or is it acquired) wants/needs to be seen as being a class apart... perhaps you should have added people flaunting company t-shirts and paraphernalia also...akaBaguccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12917175291340775701noreply@blogger.com
